5 star hotels in Istanbul

The hotel was clean and nice. Food quality was amazing. The location was not so great, no nearby shops and always requires a taxi to go around.

I had to stay here because my flight was overbooked, so I received compensation from Turkish Airlines. The check-in was fast. The room size is perfect, and the beds were comfortable. I tried to call the room service that night for a long time. It is either a busy line, or they pick up and no response from their side. I even hear them talking to each other. I called the front desk, and the person who...

Serenity Comfort Hotel Istanbul Turkish Air put us up here overnight owing to a missed connecting flight. Transfer 25 km from and to the IST airport went smoothly. Hotel seemed empty (except for the two dozen Turkish Air passengers) but breakfast was busy with lots more. Weird experience with our room door: opened fine on check-in but trouble thereafter — we had the key reset of course, but we’re...

The bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent and plentiful.

I stayed in this hotel with my 2 sons for 3 nights because of the overbooking problem in our Turkish airlines flight to Canada. We really enjoyed our stay. Our room was spacious and very clean, the service was great. The breakfast was rich and delicious. In the end, the indoor pool was clean and warm; my children had really fun there. My special thanks to Mr Ahmet at the reception, Mr. Hasan at the...

Serenity comfort hotel I came on vacation from Nepal to Istanbul, the hotel’s price is very affordable, the hotel rooms are very clean and the bed comfort of the hotel is very nice, the hotel was very close to the airport in terms of location, the breakfast is quite varied, the spa was very nice, thank you very much for everything, thank you very much to the restaurant manager Murat, especially...

The bathroom smelled musty, and the reception staff gave me the wrong closing time for the pool. The girl in charge of the changing rooms was very unfriendly; she wouldn't even let me shower and rudely told me it was closed. It's not what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel.

We've stayed here several times, and the staff is 5 out of 5. The food is delicious. The location is convenient, with the Civagir shopping center across the street. We've had nothing but positive experiences.

Breakfast is average. Room is normal. Not a 5 star luxury!

Everything is good. Breakfast is acceptable.

It was good experience to stay at the craton hotel sisli Lovely location

No orange juice at breakfast , this is not acceptable for 5 stars hotel , i talk to the manager of breakfast and tell me there is not the boss and can do nothing but can give me orange juice for 10€

We stayed one night and left underwhelmed. Our “Deluxe Pera Side” room was directly above a 6-lane road. The windows are excellent, so it wasn’t particularly noisy — but it still feels like staying above a highway rather than in a historic hotel. Pillows were all synthetic, and despite repeated requests, no feather pillows ever arrived — even when replacements were brought and described as such (tags...

The Pera Palace Hotel is like a vintage edition. Commissioned in 1892 and opened in 1895, it was designed by the French-Ottoman architect Alexander Vallaury. Its original purpose was to provide luxurious accommodation for Orient Express VIPs, earning it the reputation as Turkey's oldest European-style hotel. It was the first electrified building outside the Ottoman imperial palace and the only place...

it is a hotel full of cultural history. location is good too. however the service is lacking in some hotel staff.

We stayed here for two days during our honeymoon in Istanbul. Built in 1892, the hotel holds incredible historical value and features a stunning, classic interior. We especially loved our coffee time in the lounge, and every staff member was exceptionally kind. It was great to see the breakfast menu changing daily. Getting the chance to ride Turkey's first-ever elevator made us feel truly special,...

I love Pera Palace Hotel!!! It's been love at first sight! ❤️ It's been my dream since about two years to spend a night here and finally last night my husband and I did, and even with my extremely high expectations the stay even surpassed those - it was one of the best hotel stays ever - and we had a lot! 😉 Pera Palace Hotel has such a vibrant history and it nourishes this historical vibe, it's like...

The room was great, the service was excellent and attentive, and the food in the restaurant was the best in Turkey. Because I was late checking in, they even let me have afternoon tea in the restaurant for free, and they also said I could have some when I checked out the next day.

Travelled for work Had a wonderful stay Team is best

The location is excellent, right downstairs from what's known as Istanbul's Champs-Élysées. The hotel's design and facilities are luxurious and up to standard. The service is impeccable; they were very welcoming and helped me with late check-out. The only drawback is that it gets a bit noisy at night, probably because it's quite lively downstairs, and the soundproofing of the doors isn't great—I could...

My stay at The St. Regis Istanbul was absolutely outstanding. From the moment I arrived, the hospitality and attention to detail were beyond impressive. The staff were warm, professional, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. I want to give special thanks to Omar, who truly made my experience exceptional. He’s one of the best hotel representatives I’ve ever met—attentive, courteous, and always...

It's a quiet location in the new city. The food court downstairs is convenient for dining, but the bar can be noisy until late on weekends. The breakfast is good, but a little greasy after eating it for two days in a row.

Excellent service, feeling at home

I cannot say enough good things about our stay here. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly warm and welcoming. The real highlight was the delicious birthday cake they prepared for my daughter's birthday. It was a thoughtful touch that made her day extra special and created a wonderful memory for our family. The room was clean, the location was convenient, and the service was impeccable...

Clean and good location but i think it needs renovation

Very nice experience, as always! Nice room and view to Golden Horn

The hotel is old, but the service is top-notch! Everything was great! Breakfasts are hearty in winter. The room was warm and had everything needed.

It was amazing trip. Hotel was very beautiful . Mostly I remember view on the 8 floor, where spend breakfast . For breakfast serve many turkey delights and also salmon and desserts . Nearby hotel street Istiklyal- central street with many shops and cafe. Very comfortable area for life. This part of town calm , but there are many sights. We went on foot to old city about 20 minutes. Hotel in custom...

Very nice location, very clean and cozy rooms, I loved Bosphorus view both from room and breakfast place. Easy and 5 minutes access to Istiklal street!

The housekeeper will not top up any amenities daily. Cleaning standards is below average and I can safely say that this is the worst marriott managed hotels I’ve ever stayed in across 20 over countries.

It’s very good hotel, but the breakfast is poor according to the hotel level, also the eggs cookers without any ability, too much young and without any knowledge about

Every thing is clean and amazing

Overall a lovely stay. A lots of pros- Great breakfast, friendly staff, 24hr gym, free parking, very safe. Booked a one day tour to Troy, got picked up and drop off at the hotel, saved 2 trips to the Istanbul city,a present surprise. Own experience - Location is far and not easily accessible from main tourist attractions. For self drive, the hotel is located next to a highway, if missed the turning...

The hotel is clean and the food from the restaurant is amazing but pricey. I will definitely come back

Ver nice and it has fitness room and swimming pool. Very nice place.

The staff was wonderful, hotel lovely and centrally located, and the terrace restaurant offers a spectacular view. Rooms are small and not special, but clean and comfortable. Including the wonderful Turkish breakfast makes it good value.

Excellent service, with polite and friendly staff. The breakfast was wonderful, especially the delicious omelet. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

The staff were great, very friendly and helpful. The location was good. The room great with amazing view. The bed mattress was the best. We used also the spa and it was refreshing. The breakfast was good. We had lunch once, which was average. Definitely we recommend this hotel and we would go back again.

Absolutely great value for money! They delivered on everything promised, and the location is superb. The view from the rooftop restaurant is also incredible. My only minor complaint is that the room and bed were a bit small.

Perfect location for everything we walked everywhere as the main attractions and bazaars were within 5 mins walking. Left was Hagia Sofia. Palace etc, right were bazaars...straight down was the sea. The hotel was lovely, and breakfast had everything I liked and more. The view from the top was amazing; you could see all across Istanbul. Our room was very clean, and we even had soothing music in the...

Very helpful staff and great service. Location was close to Grand Bazaar, Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque and walking to Galata Tower and Galataport was within 40 minutes.

The hotel is so beautiful and very clean and close from the attractions

Good location and delicious breakfast.

We recently stayed at the Legacy Ottoman during our 12 day Traveltalk tour of Turkey. The hotel is perfectly situated in the very heart of Istanbul. You literally walk out from the main lobby into the hubbub of Istanbul with the famous bizarre just three minutes around the corner. The beds are super comfy with a combination of showers and baths depending on which room you book. Would highly recommend...

It was a great trip and hotel’s location was good. It is close to all necessary places and spice bazaar.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautifully preserved historical hotel, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the charm and elegance of the building — it felt like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts you could ask for. The architecture and decor are stunning, full of rich details that tell the story...

A lovely hotel - super aesthetic, and you can tell it's full of culture. We arrived around 2 am, tired as expected, and the receptionist was just wonderful. There was some confusion around the deposit and method of payment, but he was extra patient and accommodating. Just a shame that no one greeted us outside / helped with the bags, which we saw happen for some other guests (for us, the concierge...

We enjoyed our last stay at Fraser place. It was great as always. Everyone there was very friendly and welcoming

Overall, the stay was ok. Rooms can be a little cold in winter. Heating isn’t the warmest. Dress warmly and it should be ok. The apartment itself is spacious. Staff were friendly. Amenities are basic. Location to places of interest like the Blue mosque and Basilica cistern is about 30 minutes by car.

Our stay in Fraser Place Anthill Istanbul had been more than pleasant. It was AWESOME! We first booked for 3 nights then came back for another 2 nights. I guess that expressed the quality of our experience. Big, very clean rooms, ideal for family or group of friends. Breakfast options are good. Very very very friendly staff. Special shout out to Kemel of the Reception for the superb assistance...

Highly Recommended! I had a wonderful stay at Fraser Place Anthill. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained — truly a comfortable home away from home. The gym was surprisingly well-equipped and a great bonus for anyone who wants to stay active while traveling. But above everything else, what made my stay exceptional was the staff. Everyone I met was warm, friendly, and genuinely...

“A truly flawless stay! The hotel exceeded every expectation: modern and spotless rooms, a friendly and always helpful staff, excellent services, and an incredible attention to detail that is hard to find. The rich and high-quality breakfast made every morning a pleasure. Perfectly located to easily reach all the main attractions in the area. An unforgettable experience — we will definitely be back...

From the moment I arrived, Gürkan has been absolutely amazing. I had just come out of surgery and needed a lot of help, and he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable. Whenever I needed food or assistance, he was always there - especially since I didn’t have a Turkish number to order food, he kindly helped me place orders and even delivered them himself. His support and kindness have truly...

Nice location, all tourist attractions are walkable distance.

The room was quite clean, but a bit small. The layout wasn't perfectly designed, but it didn't hinder getting to places at all. It's not in a very noisy tourist area. Walking to Galata and the nearby old town was very convenient. Breakfast could be described as small but lovely.

Stayed for 2 nights, it's very close to Terminal 1. The room was clean, and having an elevator made going up and down very convenient.

As I am travelling in the summer, I was looking for good air conditioning and quiet rooms in Istanbul as I had seen some bad reviews with other hotels. Burdock however has very good air conditioning and when windows are closed, the room is very quiet. Breakfast was good too. Good atmosphere and not crowded.

We have a wonderful time and the staff are just beautiful people. We had the pleasure of meeting the GM. He came and gave us complimentary breakfasts and some wonderful cakes as we were in Istanbul to celebrate our birthday. Our surname is Burdock so we natural wanted to stay at a hotel of the same name. We will tell our family that the hospitality and care shown ti us was unrivalled. Patricia and...

Great location and easy to get around by tram (T1). Nearby hotel, you can walk to several well known sites. Great breakfast selections and care for special dietary guests. Room was fine but don’t know why towels are not so white. Room was fine but not the mouthwash. Need provide more water.

The reception staff were all excellent. Very friendly and very helpful. The breakfast staff were very attentive And at your service. The room was very clean, and spacious.i would highly recommend this hotel and will return to the hotel definitely 👌

The hotel room itself is clean, spacious and very comfortable. The breakfast is excellent and you can order freshly made omelettes. Staff are friendly, highly professional and takes pride in their work. And there is a really good Japanese sushi restaurant right behind the hotel. As a tourist, perhaps the location is not as convenient as I thought, but it suited me well since I like to walk to places...

The hotel itself is nice. It is not too big and has a small wellness area with Sauna, Hamam, steam bath and pool. Be aware to bring a swim hat when you want to use the pool. The room was also nice, a bit dated but still clean. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well. Breakfast was delicious.

The location is very accessible and offers great value for the money. The atmosphere is comfortable and welcoming. The service stands out, with great people who do whatever is possible to ensure a comfortable and positive lodging experience. In particular, the breakfast service, with its great selection of buffet options and the close attention of the staff, makes you feel at home.

Thanks to Mr. Begench and the hotel team for the excellent welcome. My room was ready earlier than expected, everything was spotless, and the staff were always helpful and professional. Highly recommended !

The shower button on the shower equipment is hard to press.

Superb hotel. Amazing hospitality, great location in the best part of Istanbul

I acknowledge that it's the best luxury hotel in Istanbul. There was a minor service issue, but it was resolved very well, which is understandable given that they are a luxury hotel aiming to excel. Recommended.

The location is excellent, the scenery is beautiful, and the services offered by Mandarin Oriental are impeccable and of top quality.

This is a very expensive review I am writing. I booked the hotel for 3 days as a romantic gate away. I was not informed that they do the perfume treatment in the room. I developed heavy migraine very fast, open balcony didnt help to ventilate. The hotel was kind to offer other rooms, however all had perfume odor. I had to leave the hotel immediately. The hotel charged me for the entire stay, no refund...

Fantastic hotel with great amenities. The staff members were extremely helpful and pleasant. Would definitely recommend this Hotel.

Stayed at this hotel through the Turkish Airways free-night stay program. Hotel was very clean and the staff were helpful. The spa and pool were beautiful although we did not have time to visit. However, the rooms lacked the amenities ordinarily found in a 4* hotel (and this hotel labels itself as 5*.) In addition, the location requires a metro and lots of walking to get to tourist sites in Istanbul

Very nice hotel, very close to all markets and mall 3 mn walking distance. The staff was very helpful , the reception Metin, Jerel very friendly , breakfast is very rich, asli is following each detail. Special thanks to the bell boy speaking Arabic Metin Ozlan for assisting us.

Stayed here for 2 nights as part of the Turkish Airlines hotel stopover program. The manager personally showed us to our room on arrival, and we were very impressed. The staff were friendly and courteous. Rooms were spacious and tastefully done to a very high standard. Beds were very comfy. Breakfast in the dining room was lovely. Service was excellent. Highly recommend this hotel.

I had a wonderful experience at the hotel. Mr. Fatih Coskun was extremely kind and helpful. When my mother fell, he kindly helped us go to the pharmacy and made sure we were okay. He is such a thoughtful and caring person. I truly wish him all the best from the bottom of my heart💗💗

I had a fantastic 5-night solo stay at Wishmore Hotel in Şişli. The location is great, close to everything while still peaceful. The vibe is stylish and welcoming, perfect for both exploring Istanbul and relaxing afterwards. The staff were excellent, always friendly and helpful. Big shout out to Serkan at the bar, a legend who even convinced me to catch a Galatasaray match next time. The facilities...

This is the hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, that I chose to host my friends. The hotel boasts a superb location and features charming local decor. It's a worthwhile hotel choice for anyone visiting Türkiye, and definitely not to be missed.

The guys at reception are top notch. Thank you very much.

The room was spacious, and the service was very attentive. We arrived at the hotel at 8:30 am and were quickly checked in. While we waited, they even served us Turkish tea and delicious snacks. There's also a Salt Bae steakhouse in the hotel, but the portions are huge for two people, so be careful when ordering lamb chops. The hotel is located in an affluent area of ​​Türkiye, so it feels safe and...

The hotel's very modest entrance doesn't give you any idea of ​​the splendor that lies within. A hotel worthy of a Park Hyatt, with care and attention to every detail. Very spacious rooms equipped with luxury amenities and all necessary amenities. Exclusively friendly, helpful, and caring staff. The gym is literally next level, and without you realizing it, restaurants like Nusr-ET, Cipriani, and...

Excellent location, lovely room, great shower, very good breakfast.

It's more worth living here than Soho House. Because I couldn’t stand the small toilet in the SOHO room I stayed in the day before. So, wouldn’t it be nice to live in Park Hyatt? The service is also in place. The bathroom is big enough and the bedding is the most comfortable I have ever stayed in Türkiye. Because the beds in all the hotels I stayed in along the way were very soft and not very comfortable...

it was a good experience. I will be back again .staff was friendly service very good

Actually I take this hotel for location .the location is good . Before this hotel I stayed in Ramada plaza near to this hotel . I wanted to save a bit and chose this hotel with 20% off. It was not mentioned at all when booking that the Comfort Room was so small and dirty and had nothing to do with a five-star hotel, neither in terms of service nor in terms of attitude. After cleaning, the trash can...

Room was not what picture on website showed. Location was excellent. Price too high for offered room. Breakfast very good and many choices. Staff and personnel very friendly and helpful.

It old hôtel. They it is Give star. It is ok but not for five star.

The room was not used in a while so it was that closed feeling

It is a nice place to stay, the staff are very helpful. However, the bed and cushions weren't that comfy. According to the upgrade we have done, the minimum should have a comfy bed.

Very good service, clean room and amazing breakfast recommended

The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. All the reception staff are extremely kind, friendly, and welcoming. The housekeeping team is very professional, especially Yaqoub, who is very respectful and always helpful. Overall, the staff are amazing and make the stay truly pleasant. Highly recommended.

Very good service and big room location is a a little difficult for the construction front the hotel balance everything very good recommended

My recent stay at Mövenpick Living West Istanbul was an excellent experience from start to finish. The property is modern, elegant, and exceptionally well maintained, offering a perfect balance between hotel comfort and apartment-style living. The room was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with high-quality furnishings and everything needed for a comfortable stay. Housekeeping standards...

Overall, the hotel was very good. • Check-in was delayed by 1.5 hours. • I would like to thank Elaida from Guest Relations for her great support. She was very helpful and offered us a complimentary lunch due to the delay caused by the hotel. • The location is far from major tourist attractions. • The hotel is very quiet and suitable for relaxation. • The hotel is also suitable for families. • A few...

The hotel was very nice and clean. Breakfast was lovely plenty of variety. Leisure facilities were very good. Only issue the housekeeping didn’t do a very good job with cleaning our room, a couple of times the beds weren’t even made dirty dishes left all over! Even though I mentioned it was my husband’s birthday on the day we arrived nothing was done. Location wise, it’s quite far out but the good...

Gayet temizdi ve her şey kusursuzdu.

Everything was great, I'd like to extend my thanks to all the staff.

Standard room, with gel, shampoo, balm, and soap included. Water and tea are also provided. The mini-bar has a 0.2L Jack Daniels for 2000 Lira. There are three shopping malls and a metro station nearby. A taxi to the airport costs 2000 Lira. The soundproofing in the rooms isn't great; you can hear everything your neighbors are doing.

I can’t thank the hotel enough. They took such good care of me and my mother. They have been a blessing for us. We stayed for 9 days and had breakfast included. It is amazing! Definitely worth the price. But I want to thank the men and women at the hotel for their kindness and helpful hospitality. They went overboard. We were so impressed we had to write about it and tell everyone that this is the...

I stayed at AvantGarde Urban for a week for location proximity. It is nice Hotel from outside and the rooms look good with great amenities, except after three nights of stay, one afternoon I came back to my room around 4pm and the house keeping just started cleaning my room, unfortunately I noticed how dirty the mattress was but I thought it was just one spot and ignored it, I refused the cleaning...

We booked this hotel for one night due to a long layover in Istanbul, and from that perspective, the location is excellent: there’s a metro station nearby with a direct line to the new airport, as well as a large shopping mall with stores and cafés. The rooms are a bit worn out but generally clean. However, there was a major downside—the air conditioning didn’t work properly. We specifically booked...

good hotel with oven and washing machine

We love istanbul city. But we just need a break from the crowded places like sultanahmet and taksim. We came across this Fraser Place Anstasya at Umraniye. Took us about 20mins (640turkish lira)uber taxi ride from uskudar. Its spacious & wonderful with washing machine and kitchen. We choose the 2 bedroom (1queen and 2 single beds). Great view from hotel room. 5 mins walk from hotel is quiet shopping...

The hotel is clean. All the amenities is provided by hotel. And when you have problem with your room they will help you.

Hotel is clean.. they have indoor swimingpool,p my kids like it.. this the second time we stqy here. And we always stay like 5 days.

I had a very short stay but I would like to thank the staff for their attentiveness and quick check-in and check-out.

We stayed at the titanic for my friends rhinoplasty surgery. We stayed 10 nights and it was very comfortable. Room service was amazing & so helpful bringing ice and the food was delicious. The amenities were amazing. Full commercial style gym & access to the sauna and steam room. Very relaxing stay. Would highly recommend. Angel with concierge was very kind and hospitable!!

Had a nice staying especially close by train to reach Main attractions. Thank you Simge and Ezgi.

Was there just one night, but it was a pleasant. Valet car parking, so no need to worry about that. Fine room sound proofing. Decent breakfast. Can't find any significant flaws, it was good.

This is an exceptional hotel. It is very clean and has a wonderful breakfast buffet. The staff and service is amazing, as they do their best to help and make you feel welcome. Speaking to Ms. Malak was a treat! The location of this hotel is very convenient, close to malls, many shops, a hospital and an overall great place.

Excellent Service Delivery: 1) Especially Mr. Gogo - Very helpful and jovial 2) Good job Cleaners - very prompt and professional 3) Front Desk - Very professional and helpful 4) Restaurant Staff - Very hospitable and professional 5) Guest Relation - Very professional and helpful Everyone was exceptionally professional and supportive. I will definitely return for a longer vacation with my family....

The location is fabulous and the service is very good and very clean hotel

Strategic right next to metro station osmanbey and also clean with wonderful room upgrade with terrace and beautiful view

There is no customer appreciation when renting and they try to take advantage of you at any cost.. There is no parking.. I was informed that they take the car to an external parking lot for 1000 Turkish Lira, but I found a government parking lot behind the hotel for 600 Lira per day and it may be less if the hours are less than 12. The rooms are small and cramped and their design is poor..

A fantastic hotel in Istanbul. ☀️The location, cleanliness, and kindness of the staff. Congratulations!

The hotel was generally nice. Aside from the fact that we had to prepare our own drinks because there was no bartender at the rooftop bar, and the staff member who said, "You haven't paid your bill, where are you going?" when we went downstairs to see our guest off, the hotel was a nice stay. I would stay there again if I were to go back.

Super cool, very clean, nice staff, great breakfasts

The hotel is very near to one of exit of Osmanbey station (M2 line), there is an escalator (going up) and just a few steps can reach the hotel. You need to use staircase to go down from ground to metro station but the opposite road has a lift. If you are traveling on public transport, this hotel is a good choice. Outside the hotel, there is a convenient store selling waters and snacks. There are many...
