Shame about the weather but the hotel was fabulous if a little off the beaten track - cabs into the centre were horribly expensive. Didn't use the pool because the weather was too cold. Lovely rooms and excellent food. More

A palace of yore which has been converted into a hotel, Four Seasons has a great location by the water. It feels nice and grand and the rooms are big and expansive. Its a low rise and that adds to the charm of the place. Have to mention that the gym was probably one of the best gynasiums that I've... More

I spent two nights on business and didn't choose the hotel but was very glad I was there. Would gladly return if on holiday. The hotel overlooks the Bosphorous (with Asia on the other side). Sitting in the beautiful gardens or by the pool watching the passing boats and ships of all sizes, the view was stunning. I had all-day... More

Stayed in the Four Seasons Bosphorus for business in the Summer of 2011. Not a big fan. The setting is stunning, of course - beautiful views of the Bosphorus. But the restaurant wasn't anything special, and the rooms a big disappointment. I ended up with a room in the new wing, with a nondescript decor, and a view over the... More

Where the East meets the West, the traffic on the Bosphorus is ever changing entertainment and viewing the action from a suite at the Four Seasons is hard to beat. My room was spacious and well appointed with sumptuous linens, luxurious bathrooms and a computer! Getting out of the busy old city to an oasis on the water was thoughtful... More

When staying in Istanbul , it was suggested to us by our travel company, who arranged our whole tour of turkey- sophisticated travel in new York,- to stay outside of the old town, as you are onthe bosphorous sea breeze and a place to unwind after a very full day of sightseeing.

Istanbul is an incredible city which revolves around the Bosphorus to give it life and dynamism. I can't imagine enjoying the city NOT being on the water, and that is why this hotel stands out. The Four Seasons standards are in full display here. No detail is overlooked, and the staff will go out of their way to meet your... More

Beautiful hotel, with a perfect location right on the Bosphorus. As others pointed out, Sultanahmet is about a 20 minute cab ride away. The terrace overlooking the Bosphorus is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a drink. Rooms are large and well appointed with nice toiletries and a dock for your iPod/iPhone. I wanted to steal the mattress, it... More
