Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

This hotel feels like more like a resort! There is a nice vibe at the pool and my toddlers enjoyed the outdoor playground and kids pool. My husband and I partied in the rooftop bar called Roof16 which gets pretty full and is trendy. Our hotel suite was huge and the room service food and restaurant food was delicious and very quick. The service is outstanding and the hotel has the MOST amazing smell. We were treated so well and with so much care. They are welcoming of all races and cultures. I highly recommend it for families with small children or younger couples.

In the hustle and bustle of Istanbul this hotel is a garden Oasis, lovely to leave the busy streets and get into its grounds that’s why we booked it also it has 2 big pools which a lot of the high class hotels in the centre don’t have . The gym and inside pool were great and a big thank to the Concierge guys in the hotel , always so helpful and lovely. It’s a friendly hotel , you feel relaxed there , no snobbish. I’m glad we booked it .

The location was ok, the room was quite well equipped and we enjoyed the breakfast

Great location, spacious lobby, restaurants and bars and amazing spa and hammam

- Good location, beautiful Dolmabahce Palace in ~15m walking distance - Comfy Bosphorous view in the room - Variety of Christmas decorations in the lobby, Christmas songs playing - Sabrosa Restaurant was good, nice outside terrace, sometimes we've did both breakfast plus lunch/dinner there. Delicious soup options & polite staff - Porter has warned us about traffic problem in Istanbul, so we were prepared and booked important trips in advance. When we didn't sometimes had to wait in a queue for ~20m. Technically not a hotel problem, but they try to do the best.
