Shangri-La Bosphorus, Istanbul

What a lovely hotel, guest room gorgeous. Had the massage at spa at they were incredible. Concierge was also spot on when recommending a restsurant, forgot the name but was a kebab place right by park hyatt - that was out of this world n prices really reasonable. Something i noticed that i really appreciated was whenever you get a taxi, shangri la staff gives a card with the taxi number so that you can call with problems with taxi. This happended to us ftom airport, jerk charged us 150 liras, yes we got scammed-(. Prob why he refused to dtop us off right in front of hotel..... anyways loved shangri- la, not sure if i will visit istanbul again but i will definitely come back to a shangri la hotel.

Very new hotel nearby Bosporus sea. Love the hotel staff's service where they remember your name. Restaurant also serves nice cuisine - from Japanese to traditional Turkish. Bar on the lobby is unusually quiet with not so many customers - probably because hotel is still new. Rooms are big and high ceiling. Elevators looks too "industrial" and would have been nice if they decorated the elevator instead of using the "out of the box" version of elevator. But this is too minor point compared to the overall excellent quality of staff's professionalism. My new favorite place in Istanbul.

I have arrived with my family on holiday/ business, and although our arrival was marred by an earlier flight, the hotel team managed to accommodate us at such a peak time for the hotel, the rooms are exceptional the view from the rooms of Bosphorus was breath taking, a very beautiful and elegant hotel lobby, reminiscent of the beautiful days when Ladies & Gentlemen were served by Ladies & Gentlemen, a class on its own, specious, luxurious, with dedicated staff who will spare no efforts in making the guests experience wonderful. Rooms/ Bathroom are beautifully equipped with amenities, House keeping will ensure every single whim is provided, can't say more. Breakfast at IST TOO was an excellent start of the day, even though it was overwhelmed by guests enjoying the Grand EID celebration, staff are down to earth, happy to serve. Spa and health club are equally important to guests, I have along with my family have used the facilities and have enjoyed it thoroughly. Front Desk and the Concierge service are manned by a wonderful people who will ensure the guests are having the most of their stay, may mention some of those individuals that I raise my hat for, Mr Halil & Miss Sera at the concierge, Miss Nese and her colleagues at Front Desk, Mr Ufuk at the beautiful tea room, ladies and Gentlemen, I can't say more to convey my pleasure with your services, you made us flying in heaven with your dedication. May I mention the Hotel security and the general area of Besiktas, you will feel safe and secure in this hotel, and the hotel takes this matter extremely serious. Besiktas is a beautiful area, clean with charming people, go mingle with the crowd, very good cafe houses lining the Bazare there, worth exploring.

I was with my family and we had 3 double bed rooms, 2 of which were contacted with a door leading to both rooms. This was extremely useful and privet. We asked for extra bed which was provided without hassle and free of charge. The staff was very tantetive and easy to communicate with. Overall experience was good. The can largely improve on the cleaning of the bath rooms and making up the beds and the room.

The hotel is very luxury The service is great The staff very friendly The security is nice Loved their Breakfast Buffet Spa is amazing The beds are extra comfy. slept like a baby. The location is great On the Bosphorus and baskitas central where you can find many restaurants and local shops all around you. I recommend to book the Bosphorus view room.
