Excellent location, Lovely Hotel
I stayed at CVK Park in a two bed apartment suite. The hotel is really well located for Taksim/Istiklal Street which is less than five minute walk away. The room itself was spacious, well equipped and in good condition. The amenities are good and hotel food is okay especially in the Izaka Terrace though every item is extremely overpriced and expensive. Overall, this is one of the better hotels I have stayed in and I would return happily.

Very very nice hotel in good area
This is a VERY nice hotel, on par with a Ritz. Service level is exceptional. The rooms are much wider than what appears in the pics. Found that most of the sites we wanted to see were on the southern peninsula, but that area was very very busy and not where we would want to stay. This area is much better and the sites are easily accessible via trains or buses (was warned by locals that taxis will take advantage of tourists and charge more or take longer routes). The restaurants on site allow smoking so we left without eating because they were so full of smoke. Having the Bosporous view was worth it.
