The best available hotels & places to stay near Istanbul

August 12, 2022 Tonie Szymanski

A social and geographic confluence where East and West, North and South, religious and secular, ancient and modern all converge in kaleidoscopic display, Istanbul is as vibrant an urban destination as you’ll ever visit on earth. Whatever strikes your fancy, chances are it’s done with vigor in this mega city that’s too expansive – and cultured – to settle upon only one continent to call its home.

We had a lovely time at the Romance Boutique hotel! The staff was very helpful. There was a warm welcome at the reception, a clean room with a personal touch from Menekse (housekeeping) and a wonderful breakfast with Turkish pastries from chef Musa. Every morning Zumre (guest relations) gave us Istanbul tips and some good advice for each day. The hotel is located centrally, which makes it an excellent base when exploring Istanbul. We definitely are coming back again!

We stayed at Swissotel for a few days while visiting Istanbul. From the time we arrived we felt pampered. Check-in was simple, the Concierge desk was super helpful, the room was spacious and very comfortable and the buffet breakfast was delightful! I can't give them enough accolades. The entire staff made us feel welcome and we hated to leave.

" Hotel & staff great.."..but..!!!

Reviewed By tubbies74

You will not fault with this hotel, its staff and the breakfast that us provided.. Our room was small and no view, but it was clean and fresh I appearance. The room is only a place to sleep after visiting sites around the city.. One small negative.. This hotel us sited, like many other such hotels in the area, in a hugely busy street, and trying to organise taxi for going anywhere, whether local flag down or uber, trust me its difficult.. But the staff here really do go way beyond to try and help you.. One person I need to mention is Milyan..( I hope I spelt her name right..) so kind, enthusiastic and caring of your needs while staying at this hotel.. The head chef is a really friendly man asweell.. Very interactive with you the customer.. And the foid spread for breakfast really is the best I've had in Istanbul.. The spa here was very nice but one lady was doing alot of the prep work which did seem unfair on her.. But the experience was pleasurable.. Our mistake was not booking early enough to stay longer, or we certainly wouldn't have moved to another hotel during our stay in the area... No hesitation in recommending to this traveller forum
