Positive: The views are out of this world (presuming you get a Bosporus view) Classy place
Negative: Don't get me wrong it's clearly a 5 star, but at this price: and with so many other options in Istanbul * it's 10 years old and starting to feel tired. AC, fittings all just a bit past it. Room iPad has to be rebooted. * Checkin was tiresome, lots of paperwork, card machine didn't work (she tried to type it in) * Even for a 5 star the prices are just a little whack - €19 for a bottle of beer. Even the newer Peninsula "only" charges 13 * Probably the KO for me: location. it's handy if you like the mall and are flying out of IST, otherwise you're going to have to get a taxi everywhere
