Top Istanbul Hotel Reviews

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

8/10 Good

"Mmy experience was mixed. I particularly appreciated the hospitality & welcoming attitude of the front desk. The staff were friendly, welcoming & efficient, and the check-in process was fast. However, several aspects of the stay were disappointing and fell below the standards expected of a five-star hotel. Room Cleanliness & housekeeping services: The carpet could certainly have been cleaner. There was also room for improvement in the overall attention to hygiene and presentation within the housekeeping service. Basic amenities were not consistently replenished. We had to call separately for shower gel and shampoo refills, which should ideally have been checked and replenished as part of routine room servicing. Furthermore, the conditioner dispenser was not functioning properly. The coffee machine was not functioning and had to be replaced upon our request, the staff responded promptly. the telephone in one of our rooms was not working, which caused some inconvenienc Breakfast Experience: The breakfast area was particularly disappointing. It was poorly organised, and the staff did not demonstrate the level of professionalism and attentiveness expected. Food spills and debris were noticeable everywhere, including on tables, chairs and underneath them. Even the traditional Turkish tea glasses and their accompanying saucers were poorly handled, with tea frequently spilling into the saucers."

Elite World Grand Istanbul Kucukyali

10/10 Excellent

"beautiful hotel, wonderful staff, along with clean and spacious rooms. Room services was great!!! I would say the carpet need to be updated, and the location was extremely far from the tourist sights. However, everything else was perfect! I would definitely book again. Thank you for an amazing stay"

CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The view from the roof top bar is special. The staff were so lovely and friendly: we have stayed in many hotels and this was the best service we’ve ever received. We travelled with our baby and my mother and they were so considerate of both. We had a little incident which ended up in hospital - but they made us feel safe and were great in an emergency. I would definitely recommend."

Çırağan Hotel Bosphorus

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel with quite friendly and helpful staff. Our room was good with confortable bed and spacious bathroom. Well kept. Breakfast was quite an experience with many traditional western breakfast staples and great local delicacies. The park across the street is amazing and walking to the Ciragan palace is easy. By the way make sure that whomever is driving you are clear that they are going to the Ciragan Bosphorus and not to the Ciragan palace. Nice coffees and restaurants in walkable distance. Area has a lot of young people since a couple of universities are in the neighborhood."
