Istanbul Istanbul Archaeology Museums Hotels

"Room was excellent and a great size. Location fantastic with the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia Mosque, Grand Bazaar and Topkapi palace all within easy walking distance. We arrived slightly late and taken to a restaurant nearby for some food by a very helpful porter. Breakfast options were very good with lots to choose from! We would love to return !!"

"The hotel is situated in the heart of the action and yet very quiet, the staff friendly and very helpful, the room quaint and very comfortable, altogether very good stay"

"Fatima was excellent along the rest of the team there. Best view and best service in Istanbul"

"Thank you, Ritz-Carlton Istanbul team. You made my stay wonderful!"

"We stayed at this hotel in 2023 and had a much better experience than this time. During our recent 10-night stay, the overall cleanliness was disappointing. The floors were dirty and were not cleaned even once during our stay, and the rooms had noticeable stains. A lot seems to have changed since 2023, unfortunately not for the better. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. However, the breakfast buffet manager was quite rude—not directly to us, but we overheard him speaking harshly, saying he “only has two hands” and showing attitude toward guests. The location is great, which is a big plus. Still, due to the cleanliness issues and overall decline in service, we would not choose to stay here again."

"I read in the previous article before booking the hotel that it was about a 13-minute walk from the Blue Mosque square, but the result is this: 13 minutes of walking spent climbing a very steep road until you're out of breath."

"Staff was helpful, but staff on the breakfast place and Sabrosa restaurant was Very slowly and didn’t casstomer focus."

"It is a nice property but they really need to sort their central heating as you cant change the setting and in the night the temperature goes up to 27 degrees. Not a single night I had a pleasant sleep!!!"

"We stayed in late January earlier this year and the hotel was just perfect. Located close to all the major sites, everything was in walking distance including a plethora of restaurants. The hotel itself was welcoming with complimentary treats in the room which was a pleasant surprise and overall staff were helpful. Breakfast was brilliant, offering a wide selection and staff were attentive including Rehmatullah who took his time every morning to check in with us, absolutely lovely gentleman. Can't fault our stay and am looking to book my second stay with them!"
