I had the unfortunate experience of staying at the Radisson Blu Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul from 8th June 2024 to 11th June 2024. I had originally stayed at this hotel in 2006 when it first opened, it was clean, functional, and a professional hotel establishment, in an excellent location on the Bosphorus. Now it has become a second-rate, decrepit hotel, which is falling apart, with demoralised staff trying to do their best. I have traveled widely around the world in the past 40-plus years and this certainly is one of my worst hotel experiences. I have listed the things wrong with this establishment, and they are all to do with lack of care and spending of money on maintenance/refurbishment of a building located in the best part of Istanbul on the Bosphorus. Problems with Radisson Blu Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul Room keys not working, I had to go downstairs to the reception at least 6 times because they needed to charge up the room key! When we arrived the sink in the bathroom was blocked. When we arrived the tap in the sink was not working and had to be repaired. Air-conditioning in rooms is completely useless, hardly cools and the control panels are not working properly. The air conditioning in the hotel is not functioning properly so extremely humid and uncomfortable. The bar area on the ground floor has no openable windows, so with a dysfunctional air conditioning system and no breeze coming in, no one uses it. The furnishings should of been changed 10 years ag

The property is very old, our room was for two people not three as described, extra bed was very uncomfortable. We booked full Bosphorus view room but we got partial sea view!!! We tried to cancel the reservation and requested a refund from the first night but our request was rejected so our entire trip to Istanbul was affected! The termostat in the room was not working so we were very cold at night and we got sick! I am not sure how this hotel is rated as 5 stars when they don’t even have a pool. I will not book a stay in this hotel ever again.

Best View in Istanbul?
The location cannot be beat, with room and expansive terrace overlooking the "First Bridge" crossing Bosphorous Asia-Europe for 100th Anniversary of Turkiye's Republic Day. So close to the water, with unobstructed view all the way to Topkapi. Excellent hotel service. Parking very convenient. Pet friendly. About 75m to Ortakoy ferry & area with endless restaurants and small shops so popular with locals. Further east & north about 1km are city's chic waterfront nightclubs, nestled near the Fer Mas dealership featuring Ferraris & Maseratis for sale, so it is upscale and safe neighborhood. Narrow winding streets, hidden expansive courtyards, enticing alleyways all reinforce your decision to visit Istanbul. The facility can use some updating, so hope the relatively new Radisson ownership may decide to invest further to upgrade the brand to be on par with the so many other offerings on Bosphorous shoreline, listed here just casually from memory: 3 along the shore that are based or affiliated in Hong Kong, 1 Bangkok, 1 Toronto, 1 Geneva, and if a bit further inland a bit from the shore: 1 high end and 1 even higher end France based, several McLean (Virginia, USA) based, lots TRK based, and even more with brand based in Bethesda (Maryland, USA), and one very high end well inland located in top shopping area that is France based. Lots of options in IST for guest to choose; Radisson Blu should consider upgrades to attract clientele commensurate with its prime location.
