To be repeated

Pros: I had a wonderful stay at The Ritz-Carlton Istanbul. I really liked the hotel, and the staff were professional and welcoming. I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a Bosphorus view, which was absolutely stunning. The location is excellent and very convenient, with many places easily accessible on foot. Taxis are always available right outside the hotel, making transportation very easy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort, luxury, and a great location in Istanbul.

Cons: Dine in food could be better.

Luxery stay but

Pros: Friendly stsff, renovated rooms, great breakfast, comfy bed

Cons: Room wasen't ready at time of check in (15:45), in addition, my request prior the stay to have it on a high floor wasen't fullfilled! Instead i received a room on 3rd floor facing the sradium. Although the room has large window wall but it is not completely sound proofed , car horns and dog barkings can be heared!

Fucidji 10/10

Pros: I have stayed at The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul many times, and every stay has been exceptional. The staff are truly wonderful and attentive, everything is perfectly clean, and the view of the Bosphorus is absolutely stunning. I would also like to highlight the main restaurant — the Turkish cuisine is excellent, always fresh and delicious. On my birthday, I was deeply touched by a surprise from the hotel: a congratulatory message, balloons, fresh fruit, and a magnificent, incredibly delicious cake waiting for me in the room. It made my day truly special. The hotel has a great location, the rooms are always clean and comfortable, and the service is impeccable. The variety of services provided is also impressive. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who appreciates outstanding service, comfort, and a genuine sense of luxury.
