Ciragan Palace Kempinski

10/10 Excellent

"Only hotel to stay in…… Beautiful, food great, great location….."

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"A very nice place to stay with an amazing location. The breakfasts were delicious, and the views of the sea and the city were absolutely stunning. Everything was clean and quiet. The staff went above and beyond to help us recover a phone that we accidentally left in a taxi. They assisted us by making calls, translating, and coordinating everything. Thanks to their help, we got our phone back the very same day. Highly recommend this place!"

Hampton by Hilton Istanbul Airport, Arnavutkoy

8/10 Good

"We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights prior to flying home from 10 days in Turkey. Very convenient. Solid breakfast included. Room was very tight. But clean, fresh and adequate. No shuttle to the airport was a negative. Parking was provided. Will stay again if the occasion arises."

Grand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"🌟 Unforgettable Stay – We Felt Like Family! Review Score: 4/5 We just returned from our family trip to Istanbul, and the absolute best part of this hotel was the phenomenal staff. The entire reception team was amazing, but we want to give a special mention to Eyup. His service was absolutely phenomenal, and he went completely above and beyond for us. By the end of our stay, the whole team felt like family, and they made us feel like a part of theirs. We stayed in a top-floor air conditioned apartment with very good accommodation and incredibly comfortable beds. The rooms were reasonably clean for the local standard, though the hotel itself felt a little undermaintained in places. If you want a comfortable stay with world-class hospitality, this is the place. We would love to return in a heartbeat just to see our new family again!"
