The setting for this hotel, right on the Bospherous, is spectacular. Whether you are having a drink on the patio or swimming in the outdoor pool, watching the boat traffic is mesmerizing. It is worth paying a premium to have a Bospherous view room (which is also much quieter than the street facing rooms). An expensive hotel, it is worth... More

Can't fault the service, in fact at times hotel seemed overstaffed, was impressed with free wifi in rooms, so often the more expensive hotels overcharge for this now essential service. Given cost of rooms was surprised at charge of 49€ for breakfast. Would defn advise you look for a b & b package rather than room only. The only drawback... More

Lovely hotel, fantastic view and location ... but too busy. Had to ask for a menu ...twice ... staff busy rushing in and out trying to cope with the orders outside on the terrace, no eye contact - in fact seem to be avoiding it!

A world class hotel, the location on the Bosphorus in the grounds of the Ciragan Palace is unforgettable. Wonderfully comfortable beds with a choice of pillows really did ensure a good nights sleep. However the reason I have rated this very good rather than excellent is because our room, a "superior bosphorus view" had very little privacy as the balcony... More
