    DOES NOT ALLOW YOUNG CHILDREN!! We went with a tour group and a family had a child under the age of…read more12 who was not allowed to stay in the hotel. The staff was VERY nice and always helpful to any issues we had. They were also quick to respond if you called and requested something from them. We stayed in two types of rooms since we were starting and ending our tour with this hotel. We got the suite on the first pass which was huge and very spacious for three adults. On our second pass we got a standard two queen room which was still very spacious for three adults. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The bathrooms weren't quiet up to build quality that were use to back home but regardless very clean and spacious. Although the location is quite a distance from all the big attractions, I still conciser it to be a great location as thee are multiple (cheap and yummy) grocery stores, and money exchange banks all within a few minutes of walking. I think there may be a mosque nearby because we could hear the call sound from our room every time it went off, it wasn't too loud as we all slept through it easily. My only real complaint is that the staffs English could be improved, but regardless we had no issues!

    This hotel is nice and clean, and the staff is very friendly and professional. Unfortunately the…read morepillows and bed were hard/not very comfortable, and the internet is extremely slow to the point that I have to buy pocket WiFi to get anything done. Additionally, despite there being a thermostat in the room, you cannot control the temperature of the room. I turned the air conditioner 'on' but it never actually turned on. I woke up sweating which is never fun. I will say, the breakfast was fantastic

    I don't even know where to begin. Ritz-Carlton Istanbul completely destroyed our vacation, and…read moreendangered my wife's health. This hotel was a nightmare from start to finish, and I honestly cannot believe it's allowed to operate under the Ritz-Carlton name. My wife got food poisoning after eating at one of their restaurants, and we are certain it was from the hotel's food. She became extremely sick--violently ill, and we were left to deal with everything on our own. We informed the staff and management right away, expecting immediate help or at least concern. But what we got was total silence. No help, no refund, no support--nothing. They acted like it wasn't their problem. They showed zero care for my wife's suffering. This wasn't just bad service--it was inhumane. If that wasn't enough, the hotel was blasting loud music for two night. Four nights of torture. We couldn't sleep, and we complained again and again to different managers. And just like with everything else, they did absolutely nothing. They gave empty promises, fake apologies, and then disappeared. No solutions. No respect. No decency. The management is a disgrace--unprofessional, disconnected, and clearly not trained to handle basic guest needs, let alone a serious health emergency. We felt completely abandoned. This place is not safe. They are charging premium prices while offering some of the worst hospitality I've ever seen. This hotel should not just be avoided--it should be reported to the city of Istanbul and health authorities. They are putting people's health at risk. Their food made my wife sick, their environment made our stay unbearable, and their complete lack of accountability made everything worse. We will be contacting Ritz-Carlton corporate and local safety regulators in Istanbul. This is not just about a bad stay--this is about guest safety, human decency, and basic responsibility. Shame on Ritz-Carlton Istanbul. You stole our time, our money, and my wife's health. You ruined what was supposed to be a special vacation and turned it into a painful memory we'll never forget. Avoid this hotel at all costs.

    Had a good time in this Rita Carlton. The location was close to all the major transportation and my…read moreroom had a great view outside. The security check at the entrance was a bit scary at first. The gym was great. It has all the equipment I need for a full body workout, and the in door swimming pool was awesome. The hotel has several restaurants and cafes including nobu and the quality did not disappoint. I would love to stay here again next time I'm in Istanbul.

After arriving from the airport, the helpful bell staff whisked my bags away for me and I checked in quickly and easily with the friendly front desk staff. The bellman carried my bags to my room and gave me a quick overview, which was very helpful. The room was spotless and thoughtfully laid out. There was a nice desk which I used for work, a nice lounge chair, and comfortable bed with plenty of lights. There was a TV which I didn't turn on. The bathroom was huge, with a nice soaking tub and a freestanding shower. The toilet was in a nook off to the left and it came with a bidet sprayer on the side. The amenities were great...they didn't have a strong smell which I appreciated because some hotels have shampoos/soaps with such strong scents, it makes my eyes water. These were nice and subtle. I slept very well in the bed. The pillows were very comfortable (not too soft) and the room was dark and quiet at night. Staff everywhere were helpful and kind. I didn't have a chance to use amenities like the breakfast that was included in my rate, nor the gym or pool area but everything looked great. I want to come back just to use the pool! The location is terrific...just a few minutes walk to Taksim Square, where you can find plenty of restaurants as well as the Metro. Traffic is so crazy in Istanbul that you can often save time with the Metro...I live in New York so riding the subway here is like living in the lap of luxury. It's so clean and orderly and it doesn't smell! My room had a Bosphorus view, which costs extra but is worth it. I really enjoyed my stay here from the room, to the location to the excellent service. Would 100% recommend.

Gorgeous courtyard, spa that makes you forget your…read moreown name, way too many nice amenities, and security that treats every taxi like it's a presidential motorcade. This hotel is beautiful. Plus, the location is so good it's almost rude. Honestly, kind of hard to find anything to complain about -- annoying, right?

Prior to choosing this hotel I requested proposals from multiple hotels in Istanbul, but what made this so special was the view of The Bosphorus. I want to thank Mustafa and Gozde for being great in presenting, proposing, and answering the countless questions that I had about this property before our arrival. The hotel exudes class, modern facilities, and something for all types of travelers. From the moment you arrive at the hotel you feel safe. There is a security checkpoint for all vehicles and a metal detector in the lobby for all visitors. This made my group feel safe and prior to my arrival 2 of the members of my group were thoroughly impressed with the hotel and thanked me for choosing it. Our first night there we dined at Madhus as a welcome dinner. It is an Indian fine dining gastronomic experience that set the tone of our stay. The food was delicious, the presentation was excellent, and the service was impeccable. We all enjoyed our meal there and when you stay at this hotel you must dine here. All of us enjoyed our respective rooms. Whether they were the Swiss Advantage Garden View Room or Swiss Bosphorus View the rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. The Purovel products in the bathroom were a good quality for a hotel. The housekeeping team kept our room clean and stocked upon request. We all had a great experience here. I would like to think that my group thought everything was amazing- the views of the Bosphorus, the hotel amenities, dining offerings from breakfast and fine dining at Madhus and 16 Roof were all excellent. From the lobby to the reception and concierge everything and everyone was delightful and extremely helpful. On behalf of my group, I would highly recommend this hotel and would love to return just so that I personally can use their tennis court.
