It's a nice hotel to stay. They help well with everything upon arrival

Great hotel with amazing facilities, room service and caring attitude coming from the staff.

Absolutely fabulous hotel in Istanbul with stunning views! Loved everything about it- the rooms, pool, the park and the staff. There was an elderly housekeeping staff who was so sweet but unfortunately forgot to take his name. The lobby area was beautiful too! It was walking distance from the shopping street which one could easily do. There was also a beautiful rooftop restaurant/ bar which was great...

Our stay at the Swiss Hotel in Istanbul was truly exceptional. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve ever experienced—fresh, plentiful, and beautifully presented. What made it even more memorable was the outstanding service. A special thank you to Burakhan, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. His professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail elevated our experience...

Fantastic Stay and Amazing Staff Loved my time at Swissotel! The room was spotless, the location ideal, and the facilities excellent. The staff were the real highlight, thank you to Eren who cleaned our room perfectly, Nur and Tutahan who welcomed us and served us at the buffet which were all so friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make my stay special. Highly recommend and will definitely...

Compared to last year, I have to give a minus point for the service, but this is not due to the staff but rather to the management. With such a high guest frequency, more staff should be employed accordingly. They were sometimes overwhelmed and couldn't quite keep up with all the orders and clearing the tables, forgetting orders, Refills etc. I recommend it anyway because it’s a nice Hotel well located...

Relay was an exceptional housekeeper, known for her dedication, attention to detail, and warm personality. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure every room was spotless, fresh, and welcoming. Her work was always thorough—floors gleamed, beds were perfectly made, and everything was neatly in place. Guests often complimented the cleanliness and comfort of the space, thanks to Relay’s hard...

Good hotel, good location, staff were helpful and friendly. Food wasn’t the best in my opinion expensive and tasteless compared to other hotels, only thing which was nice was the fruits but didn’t matter anyways as I ate outside generally

It was clean personal was nice i didnt had breakfast or dinner so i don’t know how was the Food . Location to the Airport was nice but to the otherside of Istanbul was a Long way … it’s important to know what you need so should choos your hotel depend that..

There were still items in the fridge from previous guests. You really need to chase staff yourself if you need something. The roof in the bathroom was also leaking drops.

One of the best I have ever been in. I love it. Such hotels must be everywhere. A sauna is included which I use every time I am there. The breakfast is wonderful.

Hair dryer was not working in the room. Laundry service came for clothes after 5 calls.

The Green Park Pendik Hotel & Convention Center offers luxurious rooms, a variety of amenities including pools and a spa, and a convenient location near the airport and ferry terminals. However, some guests have reported negative experiences with the reception staff and technical issues. Overall, the hotel provides a comfortable stay with good facilities, but potential guests should be aware of mixed...

Everything was perfect, no problems to report, as usual great and very professional staff.

Spacious rooms, nicely renovated and very functional bathrooms. Staff at the front desk and concierge were very helpful. Property is clean and kept in mint condition. The park right outside the front door is a great place to get some steps in or relax in this green oasis. Executive Lounge is OK, offer is basic but it offers a nice terrace and seems rarely crowded.

We spent 6 nights in September 2025 at the Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. From the moment we arrived, the service was exceptional: friendly, professional, and consistently attentive across the entire hotel. We stayed in room 1506 on the top floor with a stunning Bosphorus view and executive lounge access, which made the stay feel even more special. The hotel...

Loved my stay here. The doormen were awesome—super friendly, quick with my bags, and always spot-on getting taxis. The breakfast team made mornings easy: fresh food, fast service, and lots of smiles. Housekeeping kept my room spotless every day, with little touches that made it feel extra comfortable. Overall, just genuinely kind, helpful people across the board. They made the whole trip smoother...

We visited as a family in August 2008 and had an excellent stay. Check-in was smooth, staff were genuinely warm, and they went out of their way to accommodate us. Our room was quiet and comfortable, with housekeeping keeping everything spotless throughout. Breakfast was a highlight—plenty of choice and consistently good. The location worked perfectly for sightseeing: close enough to key spots and ferries...

We had a perfect stay at this great hotel! I love the location—it's in the middle of everything but still not crowded, surrounded by a park zone. It's a fantastic option for families with kids. It's also a perfect spot if you plan to use the ferries, which are a fast and romantic way to explore Istanbul! A special thanks to Murat, the chef, for his kindness and dedication to ensuring guests have an...

This was my first time staying at this hotel as we usually stay at the Hilton Bosporus, which is currently under renovations. The pictures online do not so this hotel justice; it’s stunning in person. Beautiful lobby spiral staircase and marbled flooring, gorgeous restaurants and two of the things I always notice: artwork and scent . The hotel has a lovely collection of modern and traditional paintings...

Excellent Stay at CVK Hotel – Taksim Square We had a wonderful experience staying at CVK Hotel right in the heart of Taksim Square, Istanbul. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with genuine hospitality and care. A special thanks to Umut, who went above and beyond to help us secure a great room at a very reasonable price. His kindness, professionalism, and willingness to assist made all the...

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire hotel team for their exceptional hospitality during our stay. The staff were consistently kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience. A special mention goes to Umut at the reception desk, whose professional, kind, and welcoming demeanor. He expertly assisted us during check-out, handled our luggage with care...

umran umut, the bed is so comfy, there is always good smell, the staff are so friendly and close to the heart. very good service and communication. second time visiting this hotel. i recommend it. the best place to stay. location is amazing, everything is close. and let’s not forget about the spa. very professional. highly recommend.

Wonderfully stay….perfections everywhere

I’ve stayed at CVK Hotel Taksim in Istanbul several times over the years, mainly for its great location—right in the heart of Taksim Square, close to shops, restaurants, and public transport. In the past, I’ve had consistently good experiences here, which is why I chose to return. Unfortunately, this time didn’t live up to the standard I was used to. While some of the staff were friendly and helpful...

It was a memorable staying! Top notch service and facilities, the room with sea view was stunning. Also, the location very close to Taksim square is perfect. Strongly recommended if you want an unforgettable 5-star hotel experience.

The hotel was really clean and the hotel staff were all friendly. I was given a free room upgrade so had the master suite which included a kitchen and lounge area. The views from the higher floors were amazing especially at night. The location was around 30mins from the airport and 25mins to the tourist areas like Taksim (not too bad as uber was £15 to there).

I had booked wanda vista hotel for a family vacations in Istanbul, they made my visit so memorable i can’t praise enough how friendly and helpful staff was , they fulfilled all our requirements we mentioned while booked the room , on top of it they surprised me with cake and note on my birthday. Best service I experienced so far , thank you for all the hospitality , rooms very so comfortable and breakfast...

It is very good of the hotel service. Especially with server name of Azrg, Burqk, Kadir, they have nice service with us. Thanks to them.we will consider to live in again when we back to Istanbul.

I love the gym the hammam and the room very precious and the gym is well equipped, i enjoyed workout for 3 hours due to the gym facilities

Wonderful experience at Wanda Vista Istanbul! The hotel is beautifully designed with elegant interiors, spacious rooms, and top-notch amenities. The staff were attentive and made our stay very comfortable. A perfect blend of luxury and hospitality—would definitely return!

The room is super big and spacious. Bed is very comfortable. Comes with bath tub just that water leaks from it after usage. Hotel location not very near Istanbul main attractions, but the price is good for such spacious hotel room. Close to airport, abt 30 mins without traffic. Hotel breakfast is great and hotel comes with a super big gym and kids playroom, ideal for family

All good and with friendly service. Long way from the centre.

***The interior is nice, only the smoking rooms have a bit too much smell

It is a good choice for business trips. Taxis are not as chaotic as those in scenic spots and they charge extra (occasionally you may encounter some...) Türkiye's economy is not good, the lira is depreciating, and everything is not cheap...

Breakfast restaurant by the sea with first-class food

Nice breakfast clean hotel..just not sure about the soundproofing

Gardens' room wad cold we are very sadly i asked change my room but didn't change

After 3 Years we were back at the Hilton because i was curious how it looks like after the Renovation and I have to say, the Mix between the Historical and the Modern Time has succeeded well! The view was beautiful and the food/snacks in the Executive Lounge were delicious. I enjoyed it very much.

Nice hotel. We took a family suite next to the garden which was very nice. We had to take three elevators to get to our room though

Good service, nice location, friendly staff, facilities is great. Superb experience if you booking executive room

the great hotel ever i have been. Thank you murat!!!

Excellent hotel, close to city center, near taxim square, neat and clean, good variety of breakfast, helpful staff.

The building it was under renovation work Unfortunately we have to take 3 lefts in order go get yo our suite No mentioned about this customer should know about this before booking

If you are turkish, you will be satisfied But if you are a foreigner, you are not welcome delay in check in after 14.00 pm Most of room amenities are missing and TV is not working

Relatively clean and pleasant hotel to stay in for business visits.

Beautiful hotel and top class amenities only problem is the location

Great facilities, excellent service, clean and comfortable room, great surroundings, relaxing atmosphere.

Hotel is nice but i booked three nights and i try to change one day at least they didn’t accept

It was my first time visiting, and it was super nice. Almost everyone was polite...I enjoy my stay, and I will be back again. It is fully recommended.. Thank you

Here's the advice if you'll stay in this hotel, make sure the lady in the reception likes you, because if she doesn't, she'll make sure that none of the hotel service will be delivered to you and make your stay like hell. I couldn't get connected to wifi because she refused to instruct us on how to connect , unless if i come down to the reception and declare my humility She refused my laundry...

The front desk service was very good, the room facilities were very new, and there was free fruit. It was a very comfortable stay, but it was a pity that I only stayed for one night

i was upset but the problem was resolved and they offered me some complimentary when i visit again

Excellent and renovated hotel, large room

The bed sheets were pilling, but everything else was OK. Breakfast was also OK.

Very limited choice during breakfast and dinner. Both coffee machines not working during breakfast time and when it became ready again, water instead of milk came out for cappuccino. Room is too hot no AC. Had to open window to cook down the room and ended up with bugs calls on and torture is at night.

Breakfast is tasty and versatile. Staff are polite and helpful. Excellent location above the metro station.

We were warmly welcomed and then impressed by our very clean room (with a lovely city view). Breakfast was great… A nice selection of good quality food. Staff were all lovely, especially the waiters in the breakfast room. Will definitely return again 😊

Great services & good location! Staffs are very friendly and helpful 😉

Perfect stay. Nothing bad to say.

The location is unbeatable, offering stunning cityscapes that blend modern architecture with the charm of Istanbul's vibrant energy. The sleek high-rises visible from the rooms give a sense of being in the heart of the city's bustling life, yet the hotel itself provides a serene escape. The rooms are immaculate, with modern and tasteful decor. The bathroom, in particular, stood out with its spacious...

Hotel location is not in the old town but it is still in excellent location as it is next to Levent Subway station (M2) and it has 3 large shopping malls with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants. There is also money-changer in one of the 3 malls, which is opened to 8pm. If you want familiar fast food, there is McDonald's and KFC opposite the hotel. Room and toilet are new and modern furnishings...

I had an amazing stay at The Marmara Taksim Hotel in Istanbul. From the moment I arrived, the service was exceptional — warm, professional, and attentive. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Taksim Square with stunning views of the Bosphorus and the city. The room was spacious, modern, and immaculately clean, with all the comforts you’d expect from a luxury hotel. The breakfast buffet...

The hotel's location is extremely good! Best customer services and a memorable stay! Keep it up.

Once I was over the gauntlet of the two Reception ladies talking about me in their own language, I requested my bags to be brought to my room, 2 hours later I fetched them myself. Some staff, like the delightful bell boys are amazing but others are really just plain rude. To clean your room, they open the door and enter, and you find them already in your room, which as a solo traveller woman is frightening...

As always the hotel and the stuf made this stay very enjoyable. Thank you guys.

The hotel is excellent, location, service, concierge's attention and care. We loved the 360 view of Istanbul from  the cafe/restaurant on the top floor. We will certainly return.! 

Good Hotel with an Excellent location. Rooms a little small and some cleanliness issues. A/C was not working but was fixed the next day. Room safe wasnt working in one of the rooms, and the bathroom door did not close properly in one room.

Excellent customer service, very helpful staff and clean rooms.

The shower was not working and the room was not as clean as I would have expected.

Close to airport train station, but far from city center

Convenient location. Very delicious meals provided in the restaurant.

Very good, attitude is great. Room is clean, service great.

Convenient local traffic, clean room, good service in reception and room,

Rooms big enough, shower amazing indoor amenities poor service at the pool was poor. 

the hotel provided me with wrong info which made me stuck in the traffic jammed for long hours . Talks to hotel Duty Mgr but i was blamed and hotel refuse to accept their mistakes. . . . at the end i hv to change my whole itinerary and cancel my car rental. What a awful experience !

Had to remind them to clean up our rooms before we go out for our activities.

Great location near the Taksim square and airport bus terminal

Hotel breakfast very nice western & middle east . Location 200m from taksim centre. Hotel room big . Staff very attentive and friendly. Near to taksim park and shopping area

The lobby is quite small and tje building overall is quite old.

Loving this hotel — it’s massive, and the rooms are so spacious with beautiful views! The à la carte chefs at the hotel restaurant is amazing, and the entire management team has been fantastic. From Manager Ali to the reception team Mehmet, and restaurant staff Oyup, Ufuk, Cathit, and Sergan — everyone has looked after us so well. Nothing is ever too much trouble. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay...

First of all. Of course you cant expect too much for that price. Location wise the hotel definitely doesnt make any sense for a tourist. I stayed there because my turkish airlines flight was cancelled due to weather conditions and they put me in this hotel. It is not comparable to any other pullman. Has its best years behind it and guess they will just keep it running till its totally useless. But...

We had the pleasure of being assisted by Ali, the Manager at Pullman Istanbul Hotel & Convention Center, and I cannot praise him enough for the outstanding service he provided. From the very beginning, Ali was calm, attentive, and incredibly polite. He went above and beyond to make sure every detail of our stay was taken care of, and his professionalism truly stood out. What impressed us most was...

My stay at the Pullman Hotel in Istanbul was truly exceptional from start to finish. The hotel combines modern elegance with warm hospitality, making it a perfect choice for both leisure and business travelers. The rooms are spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the comforts you could ask for, including a wonderfully comfortable bed and stunning city views. The staff went above and...

The service was just so so, and there was no help with luggage. It was close to the exhibition hall.

that was very good stay wanderful hotel specially thank you the mehmet atasoy from reception

I like the hotel staff specially the cleaning lady in 3rd floor and one of the reception managers. All in all most of the hotel staff were very polite and helpful. The location is magnificent. The hotel building is very modern and very cozy.

IHG hotel InterContinantal Istanbul just follow the same IHG hotel standard around the globe, perfect and well training staff, always a great place to stay, nice location, good food and delicious breakfast !!

I really enjoyed my stay in this hotel and I would definitely stay here on my next trip and also recommend to my other friends and families

Excellent location. Great Service. A very memorable experience

The hotel is a bit dated, but it is still well-maintained and clean. The staff provided great service and were always polite and helpful. The location is convenient, with several tourist attractions within walking distance. Overall, it's a comfortable place to stay if you want easy access to the city's highlights.

Amazing location near Taksim Square with beautiful Bosphorus views. Clean, comfortable rooms and very friendly staff. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. Would definitely stay here again!

Stayed here while I was getting my teeth done. I LOVED this hotel. Room was soo clean, restaurant upstairs was AMAZING. Breakfast was pretty basic would definitely recommend to eat down the road in the small village across the bridge. Service was GREAT! Worth every cent spent on this hotel.

Lovely hotel, and attentive staff.... And very clean

Room and bathroom are good size and very comfortable. It’s very clean

Nice and friendly staff I was two time stay this hotel but very good and some time good price I have recommend everyone 5 ⭐ ✅✅✅✅

Really wonderful hotel. Just what you expect, though the location was not spot on. With a cab you can get to the tram/train station and find your way to the European side of Istanbul. The breakfast was huge but not so much variety. It was worth money.

The Spa and Wellness Center was very clean and enjoyable, offering a great variety of relaxing amenities and an excellent gym. Unfortunately, the room was not prepared properly. The duvet cover was not fitted correctly over the blanket, and some bathroom essentials like toothpaste and toothbrushes were missing. It felt as though the room had been cleaned and prepared in a rush. Additionally, the furnishings...

Truly remarkable. Seven star service. Very quiet property with easy access to everything.

The view, restaurant and bar are all perfect, nothing can be faulted. Transportation is very convenient, buses and taxis are all at the door of the hotel, and the ferry is about 800 meters away from the hotel. It is a good choice for vacation.

The room is small, with a sea view on the side, on the second floor, the breakfast is average, the service is average, not as good as expected. The swimming pool is by the sea, very beautiful. Upgrade

One of the most beautiful and elegant places I’ve seen.

Very very good! The service is superb and the hardware is superb! The housekeeper is very considerate, the welcome dessert and fruit are very good, all the drinks in the MINI bar are not only free but also very high-end, every time we come back from an outing, the MINI bar is filled up, and we get warm greetings and friendly chats from every hotel staff!

The hotel is very beautiful, and it is an integrated building with the Ciragan Palace. Standing on the balcony of the room, you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Bosphorus. The breakfast restaurant, Peacock Restaurant, and Turkish Restaurant have rich and delicious dishes. Especially in the breakfast restaurant and Peacock Restaurant, you can experience the best service. Every manager of the restaurant...

Room that we booked is reasonably clean. Breakfast is not much variety.

This hotel is definitely at the top of greatest hotels in the world. 5 star location. The hotel's main priority is safety for all guests. The location is great and extremely clean with great staff. The transportation provided at a decent cost for airport services and daily excursions is great, safe, reliable and executive. The guest services is above and beyond providing insights to the city tourism...

The hotel & room is super clean, nearest to everywhere, staff so friendly & help full.

The room is nice and spacious. The location suited me. You can get to the center by taxi in 15-25 minutes depending on traffic. The staff is responsive, but everything took too long to be resolved, water was leaking from under the sink in the bathroom, I asked for 3 days to fix it and somehow it was difficult, they fixed it at the end of the stay) The breakfast is excellent! I also liked the restaurant...

Very nice upmarket hotel. Very clean, friendly, helpful staff. Spacious room with a decent bed. Great self-serve breakfast with a good variety of food and drinks (no bacon or pork sausage - this is a muslim country). Swimming pool was a good temperature although I had to pay 200 lira (£4.38) for a cheap swimming cap. They really should give these for free. Some of the gym equipment has seen better...

I love the room and breakfast in this hotel. Rooms have a welcome message on the TV :) Amenities are appropriate and sufficient. Good for tour groups. Check in was fast.

This is the first time that my rate is 5/5 but I think that this hotel worths much more.The main reason is that mostly the managers and also all the staff generally proved that hospitality, kindness and respect are the key factors that diverse a hotel. Furthermore, the location is the best,rooms are spacious,clean and luxurious,the breakfast is great and tha spa area is very very good. Experience...

We went to Maromi in the hotel this evening and everything was great!!! Zaki and the other staff were great and took very good cars of us. There is a calm atmosphere and the food is very good,also the fish was a very good quality and there was a little kitty🥰. The prices are good, about 25€ per person. The restaurant is inside the hotel and 5 minutes from taksim square. Come here if you visit!!

We love to stay at the Divan and so came again. Today we were having great time at breakfast. They surprised me with a birthday cake 🎂 this was amazing. A big thank espacially to Mrs Tutku, Mrs Nilgün, Mrs Damla and all staff. The service and atmosphere in Divan is always excellent. Would highly recommend.👌

We really enjoyed our stay at the Divan Taxim Istanbul. From the moment we arrived we were treated like family. Their decor and size of the rooms is perfect for short stays or longer stays. All the restaurants serve fine foods from all over the world at a reasonable price. One of our favorites was Maromi where we dined on excellent soups and sushi. The quality, freshness and presentation was outstanding...

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The staff were exceptionally friendly and always ready to help with a smile, which made me feel very welcome. The breakfast was absolutely amazing — fresh, varied, and full of flavor. I especially loved the selection of pastries, fresh fruit, and hot dishes that were clearly prepared with care. The...

Good hotel with traditional style.
