    We visited the amazing rooftop bar and spa, where we were treated like VIPs. The staff, especially the waiting staff, concierge, and front of house, were so cool and made our stay unforgettable. The food was next level, and they even surprised us with special cakes in our room! Plus, the location was perfect for some epic adventures in Istanbul.

    I just wish there were more fun activities for young party-goers at the hotel.

    While enjoying the luxurious Turkish colored accommodation, I stumbled upon the outdoor lounge and bar. The Oasis Restaurant, with its stylish ambiance and refreshing cocktails, made me feel like I was in a trendy spot in the heart of Istanbul.

    Pushy attitude regarding the deposit.

    I had a luxurious experience at this hotel's Spa & Wellness Centre. The massage was exceptional, and the treatment room was spacious and well-equipped. The indoor swimming pool was spotless, and the sauna was rejuvenating. The service was attentive, and the beauty treatments were also impressive. The restaurant was fantastic, and the private facilities were exclusive.

    The only minor issue was the lack of outdoor swimming pool access, which would have enhanced the luxurious experience. However, the garden area was beautifully maintained, and the sun loungers were comfortable.

    During my recent business trip to Istanbul, my director chose Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul for our stay, and I was thoroughly impressed with the award-winning Purovel Spa & Sport. The luxurious holistic spa treatments offered a serene and rejuvenating experience, with 14 treatment rooms, fitness center, and indoor and outdoor pools. The tranquil ambiance and professional therapists provided a much-needed escape, allowing me to relax and recharge after long workdays.

    Couldn't stay longer.

    The suites are truly elegant and offer a variety of sizes, which made me feel like I was living the high life. As someone who appreciates style and luxury, I loved how the rooftop pool allowed me to enjoy exclusive hotel services in the comfort of my own space.

    The music in the rooftop pool area was a bit loud for my liking.

    During my recent stay at Swissotel, I was impressed by the breathtaking views of the Bosphorus from both the "Bosphorus view" and "Garden view" rooms. The service provided by the staff was excellent, and they were always kind and attentive. Additionally, having taxis readily available at the hotel's gate was convenient for exploring the city.

    One minor drawback was the difficulty in changing my room from triple occupancy to single occupancy. The staff initially refused, which was not ideal considering I paid the same price regardless of the number of people.

    I had an extraordinary and memorable stay at Swissotel. The clean, spotless room and friendly staff exceeded my expectations. The breathtaking views from my "Corner Room with Bosphorus View" were worth every penny. The spacious bathroom with a tub and rain shower, as well as the double vanities, added to my comfort. The luxurious bedding with down feather, firm mattress, and high thread count sheets ensured a restful sleep. The breakfast buffet, with its high-end and delicious choices, resembled those of Michelin Star restaurants. The location was also fantastic, offering safety and plenty of nearby attractions to explore.

    Absolutely nothing to say about dislikes.

    I chose this hotel for attending a business symposium because it provides the Neuchatel meeting room. This allowed us to have a comfortable business gathering with my colleagues. The staff was attentive and the facilities were well-maintained, making it a conducive environment for our work-related activities.

    The only service that I missed for my work was a dedicated business center with private meeting rooms. This would have been beneficial for impromptu meetings and discussions without having to reserve a conference room in advance.

    This hotel is situated in a trendy area close to public transport which is efficient and very affordable. The staff is always willing to assist guests in getting around, even calling a taxi for you. The rooms and en-suites are luxurious and comfortable with a turn down service provided every evening. The rooftop bar, outdoor pool, and spa facilities are all outstanding. The breakfast options are vast and delicious, perfect to start a busy day of exploring.

    We weren't thrilled that the swimming pool was cold, as it wasn't heated at all. It was quite uncomfortable for us and other guests who tried it out.

    From the moment I arrived at this incredible hotel, I knew I was in for a treat. The location is unbeatable, with stunning views of the Bosphorus. Whether I wanted to dine in the main restaurant or explore high-end "Michelin Star" options nearby, everything was within reach. I also appreciated the convenience of the pier being so close, as I could easily hop on a boat to visit the Islands. The hotel even had a designated smoking area for those who needed it. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a large bed and a well-maintained bathroom. The service was exceptional, with staff members like Muhammet and Dima going above and beyond to make me feel special. The breakfast in the executive lounge was a highlight, not only for the delicious food but also for the breathtaking view of Istanbul. The facilities at the hotel were top-notch, ensuring that every need was met during my stay.

    One minor downside was the stressed reception staff, which made the check-in process a bit hectic.

    The view from my room was incredible. The breakfast had many delicious options. I ordered a burger in the lobby lounge, but it wasn't cooked well-done the first two times. The manager of the lounge went out of his way to apologize and make it right. Overall I enjoyed my stay at the Swissotel.

    During my Christmas stay, I absolutely loved the breathtaking view of the Bosphorus from my room. It was mesmerizing to see the sparkling lights and the boats passing by. The location of the hotel was also perfect, right in the heart of the city. I could easily explore the nearby attractions and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of the city. Additionally, the staff at the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful, making my stay even more enjoyable.

    It felt a bit cramped, especially considering the price I paid for a Christmas stay. Another downside was the noise from the main road outside.

The hotel's location is also ideal, with easy access to nearby attractions. We were also pleased with the spacious rooms and the delicious and plentiful breakfast offered.

Plus, the hotel offered fantastic amenities such as a gym, spa facilities, and indoor and outdoor pools. We especially loved the executive lounge on the 17th floor, which had a great selection of breakfast.

    One downside of our stay was the noise we experienced in our corner room. It was located under the roof, so we could hear some noise in the evenings.

    My family and I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. They even went above and beyond by providing a child's bed with cartoon character bedding for our little one. The location was perfect, with plenty of shops, cafes, and parks nearby. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for exceptional service and a comfortable stay.

    Couldn't recommend this hotel more.
