Rotta Hotel İstanbul

It was very nice stay, Staff were helpful, Rooms were luxurious however a bit soundy easy to hear passers or door shutting. And hotel has waterboy whom comes every morning and supplies free drinking bottle water, he knocks every door in floor and if you forget put don’t disturb sign outside door he is with you…..in room early morning. Why? Breakfast: we all liked breakfast, lots of choices almost perfect however they need a bit work on hot buffet section (ie. Scramble eggs, menemen) and also traditional Turkish olives/feta cheese must have good one otherwise don’t display/offer any. We also had dinner in hotel which is ok, price are good too. Taxi is a bit problematic because they kind a price per person so they should have called hotel’s luxury transport (but it is not as driver came with his little son twice whom sits next to him. Assume he has childcare issues ) rather than taxi. For instance yellow cab 300TL for 4 ppl but hotel’s one for same distance for 4 ppl and 2 suitcase 1200TL So we discovered Metro (underground train) near by and quite happy to use it rest of the stay. Metro beats all Istanbul’s traffic / hot weather and very well air conditioned and much more cheaper. Overall it was good stay, as a Turkish person I want them to be better because they easily can

Grand hotel, good facilities. Good sized restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Spa facilities were clean and quite empty so often had it to yourself. Staff were not the most pleasant. Only nice thing was the lady let me check in quite a few hours early which I was massively grateful for. Staff were quite blunt in their replies, not reciprocating my good mornings or hello, just answer my question so felt like they wanted me gone quite quickly. Room was clean and changed daily. However, the views are deceptive as compared to on their site. Window was beyond filthy. The dirt on the outside of the window gave a brown filter to the outside world. It is also located quite far from main areas like Fatih, Taksim etc so unless you have a reason to be in that location I wouldn’t advise people to book here. Also unsure if the hotel has specific ties to medical/dental centres as there were quite a lot of people with nose jobs, hair transplants and even face lifts which was not pleasant to see when having my breakfast and I am a nurse! Overall okay but would not stay here again

The buffet was excellent. The room was clean, well ventilladed. I loved every second.

Very nice
