This is one of the best hotels in Istanbul, and the world. The position is simply sublime, on the shores of the Bosphorus mid way between the historic part of the city and the fish restaurants in Bebek. The staff are super efficient, smart and friendly. The breakfast buffet is huge, with a seemingly endless array of excellent local delicacies.... More

We have stayed in lots of Leading Hotels of the World but this is one of the best. The location on the Bospherous means that there are loads of boats & tankers travelling past but we didn't find this a problem. The staff are welcoming and extremely helpful - excellent service. We had a room overlooking the Bospherous - pay... More

The setting for this hotel, right on the Bospherous, is spectacular. Whether you are having a drink on the patio or swimming in the outdoor pool, watching the boat traffic is mesmerizing. It is worth paying a premium to have a Bospherous view room (which is also much quieter than the street facing rooms). An expensive hotel, it is worth... More

Can't fault the service, in fact at times hotel seemed overstaffed, was impressed with free wifi in rooms, so often the more expensive hotels overcharge for this now essential service. Given cost of rooms was surprised at charge of 49€ for breakfast. Would defn advise you look for a b & b package rather than room only. The only drawback... More

This hotel will take your breath away. Breakfasts are fabulous. All staff is there to please!! Rooms are lovely. After a day of touring with guide Tolga Oner from Travelium Agency,(who is professional, courteous, and knows just where to take you in this beautiful city) you will be delighted to relax by the beautiful pool overlooking the sea!
