Too far from city - taxis wouldn’t take us back to the hotel. Service was poor every day for breakfast. Decent food but couldn’t get anyone to give us coffee after asking numerous times so we helped ourselves. Not 5 star by any means

No negatives about the hotel at all. Only consideration is location. If you plan to be out all day then the walk to the hotel from tram once a day no issue. If you like you return to the hotel a few times per day and don’t want to use taxi the hilly walk to the hotel maybe too much if multiple times per day. Otherwise amazing hotel with great Bosphorus view

It was such a pleasure to stay at this lovely hotel. We spent six nights at the start of our trip and went back one last night before we returned back to New York. Everything about this hotel was outstanding. It’s easy to see its success through the amazing staff that supports them on a daily basis.

Swissotel Bosphorus is undoubtedly one of the best hotels I've stayed at. The views are absolutely breathtaking, offering stunning vistas of the Bosphorus that are truly unforgettable. The service is impeccable, with the staff consistently going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and luxurious stay. The rooms are top-notch, with elegant decor and all the amenities you'd expect from a high-end hotel. I highly recommend booking the Executive Room for the added perk of access to the Executive Lounge, which offers a full breakfast and all-day snacks and drinks. Overall, Swissotel Bosphorus sets a high standard for luxury accommodations in Istanbul.
