Crowne Plaza Istanbul - Harbiye

I couldn't ask for more. The lobby and restaurants are luxurious and beautiful. I ate only at the hotel and loved the food. The reception people were all eager to help and serve and made me feel almost like home. The room was equipped with anything you can imagine. The internet was excellent. The bed smelled good and fresh. I slept like a happy baby. I went down to the gym and pool everyday. For me it was a way to relax and chill. Lady at the spa is charming, and again, makes you feel at home. It is a classy and 5 star hotel and you can tell they work hard to accommodate their guests. As to the location. It is 5 minutes by taxi (15 TL) from the Taxim Hava Bus to the airport. It is also 5 min by taxi to a huge mall with a Turkish name I cannot pronounce. It is walking distance to bars and clubs on Chumhuriet Avenue. For gay guests, it is the best of all locations. You can walk to "Love" and "super Fabric" Clubs. I couldn't ask for a better time.

I will definitely come again next time in Istanbul to this hotel and no other!
