The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

Istanbul hotels were less expensive than in other cities in Europe. I decided to splurge and spend a couple of nights at the Ritz Carlton. It was fabulous. Incredible breakfast, terrific room. The only down side was that it takes about a 10 minute walk uphill to get to shops and restaurants.

Staff is always so “busy” . Not helping in anything. Elevators doesn’t work properly. Bathroom needs to be renovated . Very dirty closets.

I had a massage with Zehra at the Ritz Carlton Istanbul and it was amazing ! I was very tired, stressed and completely broken in the back and she really made sure I was relaxed and repaired when leaving ! Fully recommend !

Stayed at The Ritz-Carlton Istanbul during a recent trip and it delivered exactly what you’d expect. Calm, polished and properly managed. Rooms are elegant and comfortable, many with beautiful Bosphorus views. Service is attentive without being overbearing, and everything runs smoothly. A strong choice whether for business or a short city stay — classic standards done well.

My stay here was nothing short of exceptional. I booked the Ritz Carlton with my friend for my birthday weekend after reading positive reviews. I was pleased to find out that the service was just as I read. From the small details to the attentive and friendly service - nothing was too much trouble. I was made to feel so special on my birthday with more than three cakes sent to my room. I’d like to also especially thank Yusuf and Reham at reception who went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and also Bariş at concierge. Staff remembered me by name which I thought was an personal touch. Breakfast was great with various selections and special thanks to Aysun who made me feel special every day at breakfast and was so attentive. The room were clean and modern, and the bathrooms classic and beautiful with marble interior. The amenities in the hotel were definitely of a 5 star standard and I’d like to also thank I will definitely be returning to this hotel on my next trip. The only thing I would say is that I wish there was a Jacuzzi in the hotel other than that everything was perfect!
