Stunning location on the edge of the Bosphorus with Asia Minor on the other side and the magnificent Bosphoros Bridge towering to the left. The hotel is immaculate, beautifully furnished and oozes class. The staff are friendly and attentive and try to apply a personal touch where possible. We... More

Great hotel in an excellent position. Away from the old city and while not quite enables you to enjoy other attractions. Nice rooms we had a water view which was worth the extra not that we spent much time. Friendly staff, good gym and pools Was all excellent except o the restaurant we tried, Tugra, which was disappointing

On the whole the hotel was good, I've stayed in Kempinski hotels and other equivalent hotels around the world and this by far stands out for the not delivering a 5 star service in my opinion...

How can one describe the splendor of this hotel? It is absolutely beautiful. The staff and services are par none. For some reason, when we checked in they offered us a complimentary upgrade; I don't know why, but we were thrilled. The room was stunning, large, comfortable, and with extraordinary views.
