Stylish Hotel Old City
I loved this place, as a solo female traveler I fell safe; it is right in a normal life neighborhood with every day Turkish people. There is shops, restaurants around, you can easily take a stroll in the afternoon or evening around the neighborhood . Staff were very friendly and helped with questions ...

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul
Great hotel, great location, great amenities Only issue was the ritz Carlton driver on the way to the airport tried overcharging by an extra 500 lira even though it was a fixed fair. He backed down after some argument but not a nice look on the ritz Carlton to allow this type of behaviour

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul
We had a room with a small terrace opening to the pool, which was still in the process of being opened. Staff generally were helpful and attentive, with the exception of the lobby bar where it was always a struggle to get someone to serve. Housekeeping and room service were excellent

Divan Istanbul
Room was very spacious, and ultra clean! A/C worked well, and it was very easy to maintain a perfect room temperature. Never met a staff member who wasn't smiling. Morning breakfast buffet was an abundance of riches! (I won't dare tell how much weight I gained!) Highly recommend this hotel.
