Reviews
I was especially grateful for the room upgrade, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The service throughout was excellent, professional, and attentive.
My special thanks go to the General Manager, Mr. Najati, for his leadership and personal touch, and to Mr. Mert and his colleagues at the reception, who were incredibly helpful, kind, and supportive at all times.
Richmond Istanbul truly knows how to make guests feel valued. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely choose it again on my next visit to Istanbul.
I recently stayed at Richmond Hotel, and I can't thank the staff enough for their exceptional service. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism. The hotel is beautifully maintained and impeccably clean, making our stay even more enjoyable.
A special shoutout to
Ms.Julide Emre | Gest Relations Executive for her outstanding attention to our needs. Her kindness and dedication truly made us feel at home.
I highly recommend Richmond Hotel to anyone looking for a top-notch experience. Thank you for making our stay so memorable!
It was also my birthday during the stay, and I had just undergone nose surgery. The team was incredibly attentive and thoughtful—helping with ice packs and even surprising me with a cake and small drinks . These small gestures made a big difference and truly showed how much they care about their guests. Will definitely come back again and recommend it already to other friends traveling to Istanbul.
Additionally, the breakfast was very good, offering a wide variety of delicious options to start the day right. The room was a good size and very clean, providing a comfortable and pleasant environment for ours stay.
The cost-performance ratio is very good.
