Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

The hotel has an open space lobby , very nice view .

The food was expensive

Every possible thing to add to the comfort of your guests had been thought of. We were very happy with all aspects of the hotel.

The only small criticism was the breakfast arrangement in the Executive Lounge, the armchair seating was rather uncomfortable while eating.

Nice location and very good restaurants.

Sitting at the lounge and relax

As i stay in several 5 stars hotel breakfast can be better than what it was

Excellent service (all staff speak fluent english -which is not the case in some hotels in Turkey, Izmir especially), spacious room with a large desk and working area, beds are extremely comfortable, a beautiful new renovated Spa (highly recommended). I definitively recommend this hotel and will stay there again. The only few things that may be improved are the wireless internet (there is a fee per hour or day if you wish to get connected) and the complexe utilisation of the tv with keyboard. Five stars hotel like the Swissotel should offer free wireless to his guests and provide either a manual or a functional keyboard to use the tv.

The quality of the room and its services (concierge, laundry, etc.)

the service was excellent and the staff were professional and the view is extremely vabolous

very nice Staff, specially the concierge ( the bold guy working there is just amazingly helpful) , good food, good service, nice modern room, amazing location ( need taxi).

The fact you need a room on the Bosphour view , seems to be little hard to get.

A luxury 5star hotel, aligned with descriptions in the internet. The staff is very friendly and is clearly trained to solve any problem of the client. The breakfast buffet is really great, the views are sensational and location of the hotel is closeby public transport which is perfect if you want to visit the famous cultural sites in Istanbul. We enjoyed the executive lounge service as a place to relax with superb views.

The hotel is getting old, however well maintained, but needs modernization. For example, the bathroom is really old and old fashion. The executive lounge service is rather poor and not available whole day long. I am allergic and I suffered a lot in our room because of the cleaning products they used, it might be a recommendation to use non-allergic products to clean.

The hotel is beautifully situated to view the Bosphorus and beyond to the old city and the Asian portion of Istanbul. It's a warm and welcoming luxury hotel in every sense of the word.

The hotel is very nice, with beautiful views over Bosphorus, and has great facilities such as spa and swimming pools. Staff was friendly, and I enjoyed the stay. Would return again.

We booked executive room with kink size bed and Bosphorus view, but it took us a while to argue about that upon check in. At the end we got only partial Bosphorus view ans smaller size room as on the picture. Breakfast is kind of limited and coffee is awful. Otherwise a very nice and pleasant experience.

All was ok in general

There should be a direct access to the main street on the seeside.

Expensive mini bar and other extras as ususal in 5* in Istanbul
