I am so happy to have chosen the elegant Swisshotel, where everthing was exceptionally wonderful.
The hotel met my expectations, however it was the concierge desk that was helpful beyoond most other places. They recommended great places to visit and one of them went as far as to pay my tram ticket when I was running late to catch the boat that crosses to Asia.
Overall, close to most of the attraction areas, hotel is clean and staff are friendly. I have been to many other 5 star hotels in the area and I would definitely come back to this one!
We booked this last minute, and it completely blew our minds out of the water. We went to the front desk and asked if an upgrade was possible...The front desk hooked us up with a club room with an amazing view of the Bosphorus Bridge. Absolutely great view. Rooms were squeeky clean. Very Spacious. Beds are normal sized for European hotels. Every one at the hotel had a great attitude and such service. Absolutely greatest stay of my entire life. Highly Recommended.
Very nice hotel. Location is very near to all the places in down town , very Quick services presented by the hotel helpful staff .
I have been in the Swiss Hotel Bosphorus more than 10 times and always I found it excellent.
Fantastic location but rooms need upgrade. Doesnot look like Swissotel room. There are many 3 star other hotels with better hotel rooms nowadays. Could be cleaner.
very clean and luxury excellent staff best view of bosphorus They have every amenities that you imagine. the view of hotel over the bosphorus makes this hotel superior than other luxury hotels.
the shower/ bath tub was occuppied by a living cockroach
The Swissotel is a stellar property in a location that is unbeatable. You can easily walk from the hotel to the neighborhood of Nişantaşı and other areas. The hotel staff is extremely accommodating, and the rooms are spacious, smart, and extremely comfortable. I would highly recommend getting a room with a Bosphorus view. After all, you've come all this way to Istanbul to have a garden view?! All in all, my experience at this property could not have been any more amazing.
I love that hotel for their good services and I will come back there next time.
Good location, relaxing, services. I would like to thanks the staff for there help and friendly behavior.
Great location and worth every penny. The whole family stayed and we enjoyed it immensely.
Good hotel for a conference. Rooftop terrace has amazing views!
The Swissotel is perched on a hill over the Bosporous, and has fab views of this busy waterway, yet is a little off by itself, and thus quiet and tranquil. In Ramadan, the city decks the staight's suspension bridge with a fabulous light display, and we watched it for hours from our room. Service was excellent; our rooms were kept neat and tidy, with all our bathroom amenities renewed daily; a man came each afternoon to fill our ice buckets; and the turndown service was faithful. The concierege staff is most helpful. As the hotel's Turkish restaurant was closed while we were there, we ate only light snacks at the lobby lounge, do try their Turkish coffee, and meals at the Swiss Chalet restaurant. You can get a la carte or buffet here, and both are super. Even better, you can dine indoors here or on their rooftop section, and even though we were there in August, a delightful breeze and fabulous views recommend this latter option. And right outside the main entrance to the hotel is a candy-bakery shop with super goodies to buy. Their macaroons, which come in many flavors, were our favorite; our taste buds are still rocking. Don't miss it.
Excellent service,beautiful room.. Bosphorus was Wonderfull
The staff are good. The prices of food are high. The selected room with Bosphorus View was eventually gotten but after argument.
Have a holiday. Transfer to include to the price of hotel. The same.
We were well taken care of and the spa was amazing! A bit of a walk away from town but great views.
Great hotel. Incredible steam room and sauna. Food and drink was pricey however Istanbul in general is expensive. A beer is $8-$10 each and an average meal will cost $25 [for a hamburger and a coke]
