And you are right about Istanbul. Once upon a time it was a good value IC, but now swings between merely expensive and ouch! But, on a postive note, they are very kind to RA guests.
IC BUD
Amb usually get good recognition in terms of room upgrade, but no club access (RA get both) It's worth contacting the hotel to ask for an offer for Club, as this is one of the best IC Clubs I've been in Europe. The rack rate is 60€/night, front desk may offer for 40€ (already worth it) but I was offered for 30€ by Guest relations (a snatch)
Club also gives free breakfast at the main restaurant. In a balmy late spring or summer morning nothing beats a breakfast on the IC terrace!
On new year's eve they're expensive, but 30k points solved the issue
- before and after that the ca. 120€/2 nights 2-4-1 is just amazing value.
I'm great fan of this hotel!
