Radisson Blu Bosphorus Hotel, Istanbul
The staff here went above and beyond—warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. The room was comfortable and well-maintained, though a bit noisy from the street, so improving soundproofing would be a great upgrade. What truly made this stay unforgettable was the location—right in the heart of Ortakoy. I woke up early just to capture the iconic Ortakoy Mosque with the Bosphorus Bridge in the background—it’s pure magic. Right next door is a Michelin-recommended restaurant, perfect for a special dinner, but if you're looking for something casual, there are plenty of affordable local spots within two minutes' walk, all with stunning sea views. I also highly recommend stopping by the tea lounge at the Four Seasons for a quiet moment, then heading to Yıldız Palace and Beşiktaş Çarşı for a taste of local life—all easily accessible on foot. This hotel isn’t just about comfort; it’s a gateway to some of Istanbul’s most charming neighborhoods.
Volley Hotel Istanbul
The hotel is a great value with excellent staff and a convenient location just a short taxi ride from the city center. I stayed here primarily because of the pool, but it was closed due to the season ending—still, the overall experience was very positive. The breakfast was decent and satisfying. What really stood out was the friendly and professional team, especially the Asian staff member who spoke English fluently—much better than most places I’ve visited. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Istanbul, even without the pool. A solid choice for a quiet, comfortable stay.

Located slightly uphill, this hotel is surprisingly close to the jetty, Ortakoy Mosque, and the main street—perfect for exploring on foot. The staff were incredibly helpful; the front desk attendant even carried my luggage up to my room, which made a great first impression. My room was on the lower level, but it had a window that I could open most of the time, allowing fresh air to circulate and keeping the space comfortable without needing constant AC. Despite being tucked away from the main bustle, it’s still within walking distance of everything worth seeing. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming, and I’d definitely stay here again if given the chance. A true gem in Ortakoy with excellent value and charm.

I’ll be booking here again without hesitation.
