Immediately upon arrival, the toilet malfunctioned. I was there for three days and there was no fix. But what’s worse is they did not give me a discount. Disappointing. The breakfast was amazing. Room was great otherwise. Amazing location.

Good location and close to attractions and tram. The Wifi is very slow and almost not workable so I have to use my cell data to connect to the internet. Also the taxi the hotel booked for me overcharged me to the airport. When I booked the taxi the front desk told me the charge will be a flat rate at 750 Lira (about $26) but when the driver dropped me off at the airport he asked for $35. I had to catch the flight and had no choice but paid him money. that is not honest and the hotel should not hire the taxi company.

Uncomfortable
Room is super small. My friend paid for the exact same room $105, but I was charged $192. This made me very angry. On top of that the room was freezing and they could not control the air conditioner. Very small room to walk. Bathroom super small and uncomfortable. They didn't even had a transformer. Definitely paid too much for this hotel I feel robbed.

2/10 Poor

It was like a horror movie. The room had plumbing problems and it was smelling disgusting, almost impossible to breath. When we contacted to front desk, they told us they don't have any other room available. We asked for a refund and they told us we need to contact expedia about a refund (ofcourse, expedia never refunds). When we were in the room, we realized there is blood stain on the sheets and they replaced the sheets. We couldn't sleep a single minute and it was the worst experience of my life. Now, neither hotel nor expedia is not willing to refund. Definitely not recommending this place to anyone.

10/10 Exceptional

I booked this hotel for my mom and my uncle based off the info I saw on Expedia. They both say they have had nothing short of a great experience here. In particular, they rave about a customer relations employee named Ferit. My mother says he is delightful and extremely attentive. From the beginning he has been super helpful and courteous, always asking if everything is alright and if they need anything at all. He speaks very good English which is a plus for tourists given the fact that at some hotels no one speaks English. The rooms are beautiful, clean, and the hotel as a whole is outstanding. The Root Karakoy comes highly recommended. I'm extremely grateful more than anything for Ferit and his constant attention to making sure my family is well tended to and comfortable. As I was speaking via video with my mother just now, he called the room to ask if they needed help with their bags (they were getting ready to check out) and he came right up. I was able to meet him virtually and sure enough, he was just as my mother described - pretty great. If this employee is to be considered for a promotion, please give it to him. Attention to detail and courtesy is extremely imperative for customers, especially in the hospitality business and for that, we are so grateful to Ferit.
