Reviews and Ratings
The hotel may be a bit old, but it's still decent. The rooms are spacious, nicely furnished, and clean, though they are not made up until you call reception. The service can be a bit slow, but there are some great staff members like Gizem at the front desk and Ahmad and Yousef in the booking department. The location is perfect, close to Taksim Square and Besiktas arena, with easy access to all attractions. The dining experience offers a delicious array of foods, though the price may not match the quality. Overall, a worthwhile stay with a mix of positives and negatives.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were a bit hot indoors, but the view from the veranda facing the Bosphorus strait was simply breathtaking. The garden room was incredibly comfortable, and the overall experience was amazing.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient and safe, very close to Taksim square, which was great. The rooms were a disappointment due to the noise, but they were already prepared for my stay. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was a slight hiccup during check-in. Dining was a pleasure with a diverse menu option. However, some improvement could make it even better. Overall, a decent value for money.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were lovely with balconies overlooking the Bosphorus, but the nearby music venue/festival was quite loud until the early hours. The service was exceptional with friendly and professional staff, offering great amenities across various departments. The location was convenient, offering stunning views over the Bosphorus and close proximity to the lively Taksim area. Dining options were varied and delicious, though I wish there were more hot food selections. The facilities were top-notch, catering to all my needs.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, though comfortable, felt dated and more fitting for a 3-star rather than a 5-star hotel. The service had its ups and downs, with some staff members being friendly and helpful while others lacked politeness. The location was excellent, providing a green, peaceful area close to transportation hubs, but the distance to downtown was a bit far on foot.
I had a wonderful stay at Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus. The rooms were comfortable and spacious, with a lovely terrace and balcony offering the best view over the Bosphorus. The staff, especially Mr Bassel and Mr Erbil, were incredibly kind and helpful. While the hotel shows some signs of age in the bathroom and fixtures, it still provided a cozy experience that surpassed many other Hilton hotels I've visited.
The hotel offers very spacious rooms with a good layout and ample working space, featuring balconies overlooking the Bosphorus. However, it can be inconvenient to sleep at night due to very loud music from a nearby theater that performs until late hours. The service is a mix of regular room check-ins and friendly staff like Esraa and others, though some employees lack customer service skills. The location is noisy at times, but perfect for those who enjoy access to posh restaurants, local eateries, and shopping areas. The dining experience is good, especially the breakfast spread. Overall, the hotel guarantees an elegant ambiance, even suitable for business emails with reliable WiFi.
The hotel is located near a park with a music venue/festival, offering a satisfying experience despite needing some room upgrades. The lively environment can be a bit noisy until early morning hours.
The hotel offers modern rooms with amazing views of the Bosporus. The service is exceptional, especially with the assistance of employee Youssef. The location is great, with easy access to various attractions. The dining experience is good but could have more variety. The in-house facilities enhance the overall stay.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms are spacious, perfect for families with kids, and offer various views, including a lovely view of the sea. The location is great for exploring the city, but it's a bit far from popular places like Taksim and Besiktas.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with various views, including a garden view and a great balcony overlooking the Bosphorus. The staff, especially Mr Bassel and Mr Erbil, were exceptionally kind and helpful. The service was amazing, making our vacation perfect. However, cleanliness could be improved.
