5 star hotels in Istanbul

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...

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.

Our stay was excellent. The rooms were clean and fresh, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Breakfast offered a wide variety. We'll definitely be back.

Liked staying here with my girlfriend just breakfast was better when we stayed like time.

It’s okay for the price, people are nice

Super fantastic hotel, very nice and friendly receptionist. The receptionist is a very handsome boy with an angelic smile. I like Turkish people and beautiful sceneries, trust me, it’s unbelievable. I think moments in the Turkey is my most precious and unforgettable experience in my life. I strongly recommend the hotel “vita cave hotel” , which is located in Ortahisar🍀❤️👍🇹🇷

Very nice hotel. Rooms are perfectly clean and smell awesome. Breakfast are chefs kiss! Staff is very friendly and cleaning ladies doing their job very well. I would say the only negative thing about this hotel is location. Nearby mall is in 15-20 min walk, and there are only few small grocery shops nearby. But hotel is still awesome. Recommend!

Enjoyed every bit of our stay. Especially after a bad experience at another hotel. I recommend this hotel to anyone coming to Istanbul. Breakfast buffet was amazing each morning was different. Staff are friendly

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...

Good Service, Facilities and Location, however if you are not into Turkish food , the internatnal food selection is a but limited :(

For the price and location better hotels near by. Service at reception wasn’t great arrived at 8pm and room was not ready when check in was at 2pm. Very noisy through the night and cleaners chatting outside your door at 7am. Location was great but that’s all I would say as a solo traveler

Perfect location and very clean rooms. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Special thanks to the Guest Relations Manager for making our stay smooth and memorable We had a wonderful experience! The hotel is close to all main attractions and the spa was a great bonus. Many thanks to the Guest Relations Manager for arranging everything perfectly. Excellent service and comfortable rooms. Breakfast...

**"Excellent Stay at Wyndham Istanbul Old City!"** I had an unforgettable experience staying at the Wyndham Istanbul Old City. From the moment I walked in, I felt the warm hospitality of the staff. They were incredibly welcoming, and check-in was a breeze. The hotel itself is located in an ideal spot — right in the heart of Sultanahmet, so it’s super close to major attractions like the Hagia Sophia...

Just had a lovely 3 night stay with my wife and 2 young children. The hotel is perfectly situated for sightseeing in Istanbul. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the rooftop pool is the perfect way to cool down and relax. Every member of staff we saw was lovely and friendly. Some areas of the hotel are a little tired and could do with some maintenance work but that didn’t affect our enjoyment...

I don't understand some of the reviews. You can see from the photos that the hotel is older, and you can't expect every hotel to be renovated every year. I got the room I booked. The service at the reception was great. I arrived very early and asked if I could check in. The receptionist checked and said that unfortunately my room wasn't ready yet. I should leave my suitcase at the reception and make...

Extremely happy that I stumbled upon this hotel. Everything about this place was just amazing. - the room was just perfect, had the best sleep with their comfortable bed. BEST part, they have customisable pillows for you to use. - the gym, machines were new, clean and 🤩. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend this place if you’re in istanbul. I would come back to this place in a heartbeat ❤️

The hotel is so clean and fancy, and the employees are helpful and kind , espicially Mr.Darweesh , he was so nice and helpful

Excellent location for those who like to walk. Staff is mediocre.

The room was nice. However, I found a piece of plastic in the breakfast mousse, which is completely unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber.

Our stay at The Westin Istanbul Nişantaşı was absolutely outstanding. From the moment we stepped into the lobby, we were impressed by the hotel’s elegant design, calm atmosphere, and genuine hospitality. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Nişantaşı, surrounded by boutique shops, cafes, and restaurants, and just a short drive from Taksim and the Bosphorus. It’s ideal for both leisure and...

I wish i had stayed at this hotel on my earlier visits to Istanbul. Perfect.

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.

Park Inn by Radisson Istanbul Atatürk Airport Das Hotel war insgesamt ok, sauber und gut gelegen in der Nähe des ehemaligen Atatürk-Flughafens. Freundliches Personal und angenehmer Aufenthalt. Gerne wieder.

The service was amazing. The staff was really helpful

The room was generally cold. I turned on the heating system and waited for a while. I saw that it was not heating. I called the reception and told them that the room was cold and not heating. Their answer was that they had turned off the heating because it was sunny during the day. I asked them to turn it on. They said okay, we will turn it on. I stayed at the hotel for about three or four hours. It...

The staff were very helpful and gave us a lot of help and good advice about sites and local facilities.

This hotel never disappoints me. The staffs are always happy to serve their customer. Mr. Mehmet is very helpful.

Place was okay fir the price staff were super nice didnt like the rooms were very very hot room was between 27 and 29 and no window to open and let some fresh air in to drop the temp to 24 or 23 at least. Breakfast was nice and staff were very friendly when i needed anything from them

Just a quick shout out and appreciation for Mustafa who is a bell boy concierge who is extremely polite and well mannered and in my opinion should be offered a better position at the hotel as he has the right personality and can be trained for any position given his excellent communication skills and will be an asset to team. Im on a long stay at the hotel and appreciate the super friendly service...

My sister and I was assigned a 2 bedroom apartment it actually fit for up to 4 people. The unit is spacious for sure, equipped with washing machine, stove, fridge, dining table. It's great for family. The only thing need attention is the cigarette smell in the bedroom. Some of the people in my group tour mentioned the same thing about the cigarette smell. Other than that, it's pretty okay!

From the moment we walked in the room, we immediately knew we made the right choice. All thanks to Elif for taking into consideration details we requested. Our stay felt like home away from home. We enjoyed breakfast, free car parking, gym had the required basics, access to taxi at all times. A definite recommendation for stay either on business or vacation and with family.

The hotel is very nice, clean, wide and big room, the reception offered me a free upgrade to a 1+1 room. He was very generous and respectful. Unfortunately I saw him only once and couldn't remember his name. The cost was so good and everything is good. Sometimes i have requested something and the room service took longer than usual made me requested it again, I hope they work on it and improve...

I genuinely enjoy the view from my 30th floor room. There is a complicated highway interchange below and watching it is calming. My housekeeper, Sibel, did an excellent job cleaning my room and she was very considerate while doing so. The only downside to this place is can drivers have a tough time getting here if they’re not from this part of town, and you can’t really walk anywhere from here. Still...

I had an excellent stay at Westside Residences By Rotana in İstanbul. The staff were consistently professional, attentive, and welcoming, creating a seamless experience throughout my visit. I would very highly rate Guest relations Manager Mrs. Versile Kaya who went out of way to help make our stay at comfortable as possible. Her professionalism and calmed attitude towards guests gave us extreme comfort...

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.

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.

The staff were very friendly and attentive. Service is overall very very very good. Room was very clean and spacious for the family suite. Breakfast was good, has a live station making different types of eggs.

Excellent location at door steps of both grand mosques. Rooms are spacious and well ventilated. Staff is really friendly and helpful. Manager Ahmed was very helpful kind and friendly.

Great hotel with incredible service, especially Dalha at the front desk who was super attentive and helpful. Hotel is literally a 1 minute walk from the Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque. Grand Bazaar 15 min walk, spice Bazaar 20 min walk and lots of restaurants around. Also nice very spacious rooms. Would 100% recommend the stay!

Our stay at Hotel Vogue in Istanbul was absolutely fantastic! The location is perfect for exploring the city, and the service was truly outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, and we were delighted to receive a complimentary room upgrade—it made our stay extra special. A huge thank you to Ayan, who went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. He was caring, attentive, and always ready to...

The location is good, the hotel is "tired", old, I will not go there again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A wonderful experience at Vogue Supreme Hotel Istanbul! Our stay at Vogue Supreme Hotel in Istanbul was absolutely fantastic. The hotel offers a luxurious and relaxing atmosphere, beautifully clean rooms, and excellent facilities. The food was delicious and varied, and the entire place radiates quality and great service. A special thank you to receptionist Ayhan, who was incredibly helpful...

The service was excellent, reflected in all the small details. We had a great stay.

Every day in Istanbul was filled with strong winds and heavy rain, and it wasn't until the last day that I finally experienced the breathtaking fjords. The hotel spa experience wasn't as amazing as I had imagined; it was quite average. Perhaps my expectations were too high. The breakfast, however, was plentiful with many choices, and the location was very convenient. The hotel service was Peninsula...

The hotel's overall facilities are great, and the air conditioning in the rooms works perfectly for both heating and cooling. During check-out, we met Manager Darhan, who provided professional and enthusiastic service. The hotel is truly lucky to have him and his team. A manager from the housekeeping department, who appeared to be of Indian/Pakistani descent, also provided excellent service. However...

The hotel abutting the seaside closest to adjacent restaurants, pier and a bridge where you can walk across the harbour. The hotel rooms and public areas were newly decorated to a luxurious standard. As we told the "Hamam" in Turkey is a must try experience, we went to the Peninsula Spa and booked a Couple's Retreat. The given treatment room for a couple is deemed too small with only 1 small shower...

The most distinctive feature of this Peninsula hotel is its prime location on the waterfront, known as "The Lobby." However, it appears to be open to the public as well; hotel guests receive neither discounts nor priority service. Requests to staff were frequent, requiring multiple reminders before items were brought to the table. In the evenings, it was cold, and after repeatedly asking for a heater...

The room was very clean, the hotel service was very good, the scenery was very beautiful, and there were many restaurants.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is delicious and serve very good kebab. However the breakfeast 8s quite simple and need to improve. Highlight recimnend snd will stay again

It was great to rest in the hotel during my vacation, especially spa was fantastic

The hotel is great 😃 the stuff very cooperative and nice ,I would come again the price very good I do recommend thanx for every one

I enjoyed this hôtel. The breakfast. It was really good hôtel with good view.

very good price for very good quality. Nice very nove staff! I will come back! staff very kid. Before departure we were waiting taxy and they offered us coffee and fruit! Very hospitable people very nice hote

The room was bright and clean, with a sea view from the window. The hotel is just across the street from the sea, but the surrounding area isn't very lively.

Honestly l've been living in 4 and 5 star hotels across the Middle East for the last 4 years and this has been outstanding in terms of feeling like at home. 10/10

I’ll highly recommend who come to this country and choosing this hotel

Hotel staff were friendly & helpful. Great location to get around Istanbul. Hotel is very clean. Highly recommend

Its good but the room service close at 11pm And the room cleaning stopped at 4pm No any spa But there is a small gym

Was not worth it! I’ve booked terrace room, which is one of highest priced and expected good quality room and view. Terrace was already closed in November, even tho weather is good, furniture is covered. But more importantly the view from the balcony is awful, there is nothing but garbage and backyard. Literally not worth it! Room is clean, but not super fresh. This hotel doesn’t have rooms with...

The hotel is in the Karaköy district, which is perfect for exploring Istanbul. It’s walkable to the T1 tram station, Galata Tower, and the art museum so location is definitely a highlight. The area also feels pretty safe, even for female travelers, which is a big plus. Our room was clean and had a spacious bathroom, which was nice. However, we were placed on the first floor, and the view was underwhelming...

The room service and hygiene are really poor, and the standards are inconsistent. Judging by the room rates across all four seasons, it's really not worth it. The only advantage is the location!

Aside from the price, there are no other drawbacks. Located right next to the Blue Mosque, you can hear the call to prayer every day, which creates a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. The breakfast price is acceptable, but ordering is a bit of a struggle, especially for Chinese stomachs. We recommend adding a Chinese menu. The hotel's shampoo and conditioner are excellent.

I was originally staying for five consecutive nights. Upon arrival, I was dissatisfied with my room and contacted the front desk to resolve the issue. The staff member I was dealing with kept changing their explanations, eventually flatly saying, "I've tried my best to resolve the issue, but you don't seem satisfied. Remember, I'm trying to help you." After receiving this response, I decided to change...

Well, that is the definition of class. A tip for any other hotel - want to make guest leave money in the hotel and stay inside as long as possible without leaving? Then do your thing good. Amazing stuff, amazing garden, amazing food and drinks, fantastic bed and service implacable yet invisible. You’re out for a garden coffee for 20 mins? Your room is done. Out in the evening for quick nearby...

The rooms are small, the public areas are also small. It is not a new hotel, but it is well maintained. The facilities are completely incomparable to those of the Peninsula. However, the location is very good, and it is very convenient to go to the surrounding attractions. In particular, there are yachts that can go to another peninsula by the sea. The yachts are great. I suggest that you can stay...

What do I think about this hotel? In the old city, it is very convenient to go to the Blue Mosque or Hagia Sophia. However, since the hotel is converted from an old building, the room is not very big. However, since it has been renovated, the whole room is very modern. I especially like its service staff because they are quite considerate and the overall feeling is very good. However, if you want to...

The location is excellent, with a great view of the Bosphorus. The rooms are tastefully designed, clean, and tidy. All the hotel staff are very friendly and welcoming!

I only stayed at this hotel for one night, but it left a very good impression on me. The staff were genuinely kind and welcoming. The room was modern and very clean, with a large window and a great view of Istanbul, which I really enjoyed. The location is also very convenient—close to Taksim Square and within walking distance of the Atatürk Cultural Center. It was a comfortable and enjoyable stay...

This was my second stay at this hotel, and once again we had an amazing experience. The staff and service were truly 10/10. I would like to thank the entire team for their professionalism, friendliness, and helpfulness. Special thanks to Mr. Burak from the reception, as well as Mr. Kutay and Mr. Gencer — they all made our stay even more comfortable and special. The hotel is cozy and quiet despite...

My stay at the Gezi Hotel was a very positive experience overall, primarily because the location was absolutely perfect and made exploring the city incredibly easy. The rooms were notably clean and well-maintained; although they were a bit on the small side, they were still comfortable and well-designed for a pleasant stay. What truly stood out was the service, as every member of the staff was exceptionally...

The staff at Gezi Bosphorus truly made this stay exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the service was kind, personal, and genuinely thoughtful, and I felt right at home. A special thank you to Fadi, who quickly picked up on my love of a good wine moment and made thoughtful recommendations, and to Ohan, who was incredibly helpful throughout my stay. I also really appreciated the upgrade to the ...

Amazing hotel with a stunning view! I booked the Sky Suite and was thrilled to find it looked exactly like the pictures—you truly get what you book here. The panoramic view of the Bosphorus is one of the best in all of Istanbul. The suite itself was spacious, impeccably clean, and very well-maintained. While the hotel itself is not large, it feels cozy and comfortable.location is perfect , near Taksim...

Very clean and nice hotel, staff was not in good mood...🙃 Train railway is next to the hotel and is so noisy all night long but not a big thing✌️Breakfast was excellent✌️

Great hotel with swimmingpool and perfect service. They even park your car for you. Would definitely recommend this hotel! 😄

Good value for money hotel. Service from front of house to restaurant / bar staff was great. Rooms are big with tea / coffee minibar etc. Beds comfy and decent pillows. Breakfast is comprehensive!

Staff was very helpful otel was clean breakfast was very good I recommend to everyone.

Clean friendly I recommend to everyone.

Rooms were okay and staff were super friendly. Bed mattresses need some deep cleaning though. Breakfast is decent and in any case there are plenty of stores and restaurants around. It is also 7 mins drive from Maltepe Mall. Swimming pool was alright and the hotel got a barber in the ground floor. We had a pleasant stay overall.

This hotel is great. The room amenities are very complete, making it an excellent choice for a business trip to Istanbul. The breakfast is also very good.

It was just okay. I booked it because I had an early flight. It wasn't particularly clean, about on par with a typical Home Inn.

Had a wonderful stay! Not only was Veysel amazing, but the entire team—from room service to the spa & restaurant & front desk reception staff—were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely love to come back.

Clean and comfortable. Location near metro but a bit far from tourist attraction. The in room menu is good. Breakfast option will be better if they have more variety and more turkish food

Overall good, but the meal was soso compared to other similar hotel. The staff were very friendly

Lovely hotel would definitely recommend. Staff are very attentive, they cant do enough for you.

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!
