Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Room spotless.
Mattress had a slight dip on one side. Sound proofing in the room not great, I got woken by slamming doors and also a neighbour watching TikTok videos at 5am.
Location is great.

Clean room, breakfast was monotonous, hot items were not offered consistently and when ordered took forever. Carpet in hallways needs shampooed and cleaned. Furnishins appear dated. Expected more from a Marriott.

Lokasyon, personelin misafirperverliği ve nezaketi, odanın temizliği, sorun çözme hızı (duşta tesisata ait bir ses problemi yaşadım ilk gün, çok hızlı çözüldü), güvenlik, sessizlik, oda içi ve otel içi dekorasyonun tatlılığı...Hepsi benim açımdan 5/5 idi.. Teşekür ederim; herkese tavsiye ettim, bir sonraki seyahatimde başka otel aramayacağım... İstanbul'dan sevgiler

Tivemos uma ótima estadia, o quarto não é muito grande, mas é bem decorado e muito confortável. Tivemos um problema com o ralo do box, mas a equipe nos ofereceu um outro quarto, mas como não queríamos trocar (pois estávamos com mais pessoas na viagem que estavam no mesmo andar), conseguiram adequar a situação para que pudéssemos ficar no quarto e ainda assim usar o box. Os quartos foram todos renovados, bem decorados, acredito que tenha sido um problema pontual. Gostei muito da estadia.

Hotellets beliggenhed er fantastisk. Gåafstand til mange af de store museer. Offentlig transport meget tæt på.
The Cura er en oplevelse i sig selv. Personalet er meget venligt og imødekommende.
Værelserne er lyse, flot indrettet, skønt badeværelse, komfortabel seng. Og så er der meget stille.
Morgenmaden er helt i top. Alt hvad hjertet begærer.
