Raffles Istanbul

Raffles Istanbul, I was utterly spoiled!!! Arrival unfolded, a breath soft and slow, No hurried moments, just a seamless flow. My room was insane, with phenomenal views 🫶🏻 An upgraded haven awaiting my use. A thoughtful setup that meant so much, Arranged with care by the butler’s touch. Stunning breakfast, vibrant and bright, A feast of Turkish flavors, a morning delight. ✨ No rush to depart this sanctuary’s grace, Just hours to linger in luxury’s embrace From dawn’s first light to the sun’s slow fall, Raffles Istanbul gave its all Special thank you to Merve, Tayfur, and the butler team for making my stay so memorable. Thank you for the incredible hospitality!

Superb standard of service; exceptional breakfast; spacious pool and spa area. Extremely attentive staff across the whole hotel, in particular room service. Very well located next to a mall and metro station.

Just incredible. Best hotel we have stayed in in terms of facilities and service.

We have stayed at this hotel maybe 15 times in the last nine years and we still love it so much it feels like home. One of the main reasons is the staff that have been so nice and courteous to us throughout the years and are always so kind and friendly. Concierge is the best team you will ever meet at any hotel, Mete, Erdem and Deniz are number 1 in what they do and always so professional and kind. All the men in the front are exceptional with the way they protect the guests especially when I get in a taxi alone. I’m sorry if I don’t remember everyone’s names except Gokhan, Murad and Arman but thank you to all. Eyup bey is wonderful and so kind. Bekir bey at breakfast is exceptional. Again, they make us always feel so welcome. One negative that I noticed this time was the butler service and cleaning crew in the rooms. It can be better like it was before. Again, since we’ve been coming to the hotel for the past nine years, we see the changes that have been happening, but again they are still the best for us. You can’t go wrong with Raffles Hotel

This is my first time leaving a review for a hotel, but I simply have to. Raffles is an amazing hotel in so many ways, the amenities, the beautiful and spacious rooms, the location, the food, and so much more. But there is one thing that overshadows all of those things: the hospitality. The friendliness, genuine eagerness to help, and desire to make you feel special that you experience from every single member of the staff is truly something else. During your stay, you are going to feel welcome. You are going to feel comfortable. You are going to feel pampered. But most of all, you are going to find yourself thinking, “What did I do to deserve feeling so special?” As a dear friend once said, I came to Raffles as a guest, I stayed as a friend, and I am leaving as family. I couldn't have said it better. Thank you to the entire Raffles team for an unforgettable stay. Until the next time.
