This is a very beautiful hotel on the Boshporus with stunning suites and great public places. If you have the time I would recommend that you stay 2-3 nights at the Four Seasons Sultanahmet to explore the classic sights of Istanbul and then 2-3 nights in this hotel to experience a different mood and part of the city!

View is spectacular - excellent for chiling by the pool as it has a great view of the Bosphorus and excellent poolside service - very good Spa - good for everything else - some time lost in traffic getting back and forth to other areas inc old town.

We spent three days starting on May 10th in this hotel. The view on the Bosphorus from the rooms is just amazing and the hotel facilities are very nice. The terrace is very enjoyable, should weather permit, for breakfast or a drink in the evening. Unfortunately the service is not what you expect from a four seasons, especially in the... More

We loved having breakfast at the terrace overlooking the Bosphorus. The view of the busy strait is fantastic. Service at the hotel excellent as expected. Traffic is heavy going and coming from Sulthanamet.

We spent four days at this amazing hotel and loved it. Great location beautiful well manner grounds outstanding service and fantastic food. Typically I find hotel food so so and would prefer to go out to a local restaurant. Not the case at this FS we enjoyed dinner on the patio every evening. The food and atmosphere could not be... More

It´s an excelent hotel, located by the Bosphorus, with a great pool. It´s very good to relax at the end of the day while visiting Istambul. The service at breakfeast and lunch is good but too confusing, a lot of manpower but with poor organization.

A stunning property along the Bospherous offering unobstructed views and a wonderfully expansive outdoor terrace. It really is an oasis among all the chaos and tourists that is Istanbul, for me a much overrated city. Be warned: traffic can be absolutely horrendous - one evening it took us a good 45mins to get back to the hotel from no more... More

After five nights in Istanbul I've to pay Euros 3.150 to the hotel. Very expensive? Yes, for my budget. But, I'was looking a place to a view to Bosphorus. So, I decided to pay. Wans't a good choice. "Pasteurized" service. Corretc, but no friendly. Cold-polite. We pay for a "de luxe" room. Nothyting special for an accommodation Euro 690. A... More

If you are already a FS fan than staying in this hotel, located in a former 19th century Ottoman palace will convince you in your believe that there is no better hotel than a FS hotel. Beautifully located on the Bosphorus shore, with a large swimming pool where you can watch the sail and passenger ships passing by. Lovely rooms... More
