Çırağan Palace Kempinski IstanbulÇırağan Caddesi 32, 34349 Istanbul (Show map) Wonderful, Score from 123 reviews“I have stayed in many luxury hotels worldwide and have constantly been asked which one was my favorite. My answer has always been that I haven't found it yet. After my stay at the Ciragan Palace, I daresay I can label it as my favorite hotel in the world. The location was absolutely perfect and there was not one negative comment I could make about the hotel and the staff. I will definitely plan to return. ”

The location and the interior of hotel is definitely the biggest advantage of hotel. The Bosphorus bridge view, especially at night is something you wouldn't see anywhere else. Very romantic hotel to travel with a couple. The staff and service at the hotel were professional, answering promptly to all clients request. You have to pay for everything. With such a reputationc and prices there are some things that should be out of charge, like for example internet in room (in times of technology that we are living now, internet should be easily accesable), or asking for kettle for a room just to boil water (in other 5 star hotels I stayed in, they have kettles with teabags out of charge), we even had to pay for the water they bring to boil... So make sure before asking for requst to ask if it would cost you something. I have been living and visiting Istanbul quite often, and even stayed at Chiragan 4 years ago, unfortunetly I didn't see any change since then.

The pool has a premium location right on the Bosphorous, the spa facilities were located nearby and provided a great combination for a swim and steam. The staff were well-trained and accommodated all our needs, including a 4 p.m. late checkout. For 400 Euros a night for a streetside standard room, we felt breakfast should be included or at least a reasonable cost (the cost was 55 Euros each and we opted to go to a cafe down the street instead). Also "Park View" was really a view over a busy street with trees, with traffic noise too loud to enjoy the balcony.

Kempinski, everything is about luxury and perfection They let you exchange foreign currency to Turkish Lira, but not the other way round. so try not to change too many Turkish lira, in any case you can always pay in Usd/euro

I liked the beauty of the room, the scenery that you can see from the baldoou and the excellent service. When I booked this hotel I thought that my room would be in a Palace. I feld that I was cheated when I arrived at the hotel. My suggestion is that the site of booking must give clear information.

each guest is assigned with a personal hostess to take care of the check-in and check-out process and all other hotel needs. The Turga restaurant was really good, great food with live music. The lobby area was very nice with live music in the evening.

I have had the best breakfast ever in any hotel ever. Congratulations for the team. What an incredible choice! The hotel has a great location by the Bosperus, but is already outside town. You need a taxi, and this means getting stuck in traffic.

The inside garage is very convenient and free of charge, the WiFi is working very well and free of charge. Generally the hotrel standing is excellent and the people are very professional and nice The prices are horribly high (I know this is a 5 stars) and the rates are not so clear at the time of the booking on Booking.com. I got the impression that they have played with the ratio Turkish lira/Euro. The tv sets in the rooms are old type and not adapted to the standart of the hotel. They should have a more standart restaurant at a more affordable price. In summary, excellent hotel, but bad ratio quality/price.

спа я уплатила допорлнительную сумму за вид на Босфор.а нам предоставили номер 563 угловой из его окон мы видели другой отель и только при выходе на балкон проглядывал Босфор.Я обратилась к администрации о пересчете суммы,но они сказали,что это и есть вид на Босфор.Еще такие принадлежности как зубная щетка в номера не кладут ,а нужно просить дополнительно.Я думаю для такого уровня гостиницы,это должно быть само собой.А в целом- неплохо

Excellent, 8.7

“Our family travel a lot to many European countries and stayed 5 & min 4 stared hotels but this hotel is the best in terms of service quality of hotel staff (staff training program must be very good), hotel facility (e.g., SPA especially Sauna)+ ice skating even, security, dining. Normally this level of leading hotel of the world registered hotel becomes very snobbish and employees misunderstood they are also high class. All the staffs are well educated, trained, and friendly even security gate person. I think this is because they are all proud of working for the hotel and management policy has been well-established. My kids requested to come back this Xmas holidays. That tells they enjoyed and relaxed, which only true leading hotel of the world can do.” Tota, Woluwe-saint-lambert |
