Description
Radisson Blu Bosphorus Hotel, Istanbul is a five-star property established in 1994 and renovated in 2006, offering 120 rooms across multiple buildings. Located in Ortakoy, it provides sweeping views of the Bosphorus, with about 25% of rooms featuring sea views. The hotel is suited for business and leisure travelers, featuring amenities such as a restaurant, bar, conference and banquet facilities, a fitness center, spa with sauna, Turkish bath, and massage services available for additional fees. Guests can expect free parking, currency exchange, and 24-hour front desk service. Despite its prime location and excellent service, some reviews mention the need for room renovations and occasional noise from nearby nightlife. The hotel offers a range of room types including suites with terraces and panoramic Bosphorus views, as well as family and apartment-style rooms.
Location
The hotel is positioned on Ciragan Caddesi, right on the Bosphorus shore in the Ortakoy district of Istanbul. It is approximately 19 km from Istanbul Ataturk Airport. Nearby attractions within walking distance include Yıldız Palace, about 1.1 km away. Guests will find multiple dining options near the hotel, such as Poisson Restaurant & Bar just 86 meters away, Cafe Mado at 102 meters, and Burger King 304 meters from the property. The location offers easy access to the iconic Ortakoy Mosque and the Bosphorus Bridge, with many restaurants and shops within walking distance. Public transportation is accessible with a bus stop directly on the main road in front of the hotel.
Tips

I would like to mention Adam at the reception, he is an excellent professional.

this hotel was in a great location. The staff was very helpful from the very first moments we arrived. The rooms were freshly renovated, and the bed was the best one we’ve had in many months of travel very firm very new. We really enjoyed the hotel. We enjoyed the breakfast, we enjoyed the smiles. We enjoyed the location, easy walking distance to all kinds of things to do and we also enjoyed the price for being right on the bosphorus river. It was a very good deal in comparison to all the other ones around there. we will be back again.

Hotel staff was super friendly and helpful. Hotel room was good but it’s a bit noisy. Maybe hotel can further improve the noise isolation in rooms. I’ve preferred this hotel mainly due to perfect location at the heart of Ortakoy. Thus, I could take pictures of iconic Ortakoy Mosque with Bosporus bridge on background. In addition, there’s Michelin restaurant just next to hotel and you can also enjoy baked potato or other cheaper options in just 2 minutes walking distance with a very nice sea view. Moreover, I’d suggest you to have a cup of tea at four seasons hotel and visit Yildiz Palace and Besiktas carsi which are all at walking distance to hotel.

I have spent 2 nights at this hotel with my husband and 1-year-old baby, and unfortunately, my experience so far has not met expectations.
From the moment of arrival, the check-in process was quite impersonal and lacked warmth. We received our key cards without any greeting or assistance, and the receptionist’s delayed response and lack of help with our luggage made us feel somewhat neglected, especially since we were traveling with a young child.
The way to the room was confusing and uncomfortable—taking us outside to another building through what looked like a dingy fire exit and into an outdated elevator without any assistance. Our room itself was not in the best condition: it was warm, the air conditioning wasn’t working, and everything seemed in need of a cleaning. We also faced inconvenience waiting for the porter to bring our luggage while trying to entertain and feed our baby.
As a modern hotel, I expected higher standards of service, comfort, and cleanliness. Unfortunately, this was not reflected during my stay. I hope the management will take this feedback seriously and work on improving the check-in process, guest assistance, and room maintenance.
It is common practice to leave a review once you have left the hotel, in this instance, I wanted to prepare those who are looking to book this hotel for their stay in Istanbul.
Would not recommend for families or travelers seeking a welcoming environment.
I have written a complaint to the hotel and awaiting their response, I will update my review to reflect this.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

The room was okay.
The seaside setting was beautiful.
The breakfast was also excellent.
However, there was no free parking. Parking cost 1,400 lira per day.

The bathroom quality very bad and old!
Disco in the neighbourhood is too noisy late nights!
Laundry quality is very bad, destroyed my several expensive clothes! I couldn’t ask claim back because I saw it after I left the hotel!
Although reception was helpful, when you ask something!

Nice hotel. Good location. Breakfast cantine has a gorgeous view on the Bosphorus channel.
Due to location and night life at the streets the room could be noisy at night.

Radisson Blu Bosphorus – Hidden Pet Fees and Unprofessional Handling
I booked my stay online and clearly indicated that I would be bringing my cat. When I arrived, the staff were friendly and affectionate toward her, saying how cute she was and smiling warmly. Everything seemed fine—until they suddenly informed me that I had to pay €50 per night for my cat.
I explained that this fee was not mentioned anywhere on the booking site. Their response was: “That’s not our website, it’s not our responsibility.” I reminded them that they had a partnership with the site and that I, as a guest, should not be penalized for missing information. I booked based on what was shown—if the fee wasn’t listed, it’s not my fault.
Then the manager appeared and said:
“Although you’re supposed to pay the fee, we’ll allow you not to pay this time.”
This felt condescending, as if they were doing me a favor, rather than acknowledging the lack of transparency. I replied firmly:
“I booked through your partner site. You are the service provider, so you should take responsibility and refund me directly.”
In the end, I stayed one night without paying anything for my cat, but the experience left a bitter taste. The way the situation was handled—shifting blame, vague policies, and acting like they were granting me a privilege—was disappointing.
If you’re traveling with a pet, be cautious. This hotel may surprise you with hidden fees and unclear communication.
