The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

We brought a long-time colleague to Istanbul for a business trip, and staying at The Ritz-Carlton was a top-tier choice. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable—professional, warm, and attentive without being overbearing. The hotel’s location is unbeatable: just steps away from the metro and within easy reach of major landmarks like Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus. Waking up to views of the city skyline and the sea every morning felt truly special. The rooms were spacious, elegantly designed, and spotlessly clean, with thoughtful touches that made the stay feel luxurious yet personal. It’s one of those rare hotels that captures the soul of Turkey while delivering world-class comfort. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul—whether for business or leisure.

The St. Regis Istanbul

St. Regis Istanbul delivers an exceptional luxury experience in a prime location right on the famed Istiklal Avenue. The hotel’s design and furnishings are impeccably elegant, reflecting true sophistication from entrance to room. Staff went above and beyond—especially when I requested a late checkout, which they accommodated with genuine warmth and professionalism. While the lively street below does bring some ambient noise at night, and the door insulation could be slightly better (you can hear neighboring doors opening and closing), it’s a minor trade-off for such a fantastic stay. The highlight? The private balcony in my room and the rooftop lounge, where you can enjoy a cocktail under the stars. With ample outdoor space, this is a dream spot for smokers and cigar enthusiasts looking to unwind in style. Overall, the experience was outstanding—highly recommended for those seeking both comfort and character in Istanbul.

Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli

My two-night stay at the Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli turned out to be one of the most bizarre experiences I've had across many countries. On day one, after using the restroom, I noticed the entire inside of the toilet bowl was covered in dried urine stains—quite disgusting. I immediately called the front desk requesting cleaning, and a staff member arrived shortly afterward. He was diligent and thoroughly cleaned the area, so I gave him 100 Turkish lira as a tip—a gesture I genuinely appreciated. The next morning, during breakfast, a hotel manager approached guests for feedback. When it was my turn, I mentioned the previous night’s hygiene issue. She listened attentively, took down my room number, and promised to look into it and possibly upgrade our accommodation. I left the hotel feeling hopeful. Around 10 PM that evening, I returned and was told we’d been moved to the highest floor. I assumed this meant a room upgrade—my excitement was real. But when we finally reached the 33rd floor, things took a strange turn: the elevator didn’t go directly there. We had to transfer to a smaller elevator via the 30th or 31st floor, then walk through a narrow corridor. Once inside the new room, I was shocked—the space was noticeably smaller than our original room. Beds were pushed closer together, and we lost the desk and sofa entirely. The bathroom had shrunk by nearly half. This wasn’t an upgrade—it felt like a prank. Disappointed, I asked to return to our original room. We had to retrace our steps through multiple elevators, which was extremely inconvenient. Later, my colleague requested tea leaves be sent up. The front desk confirmed it would come promptly—but over an hour passed with no delivery. Only after I called again did someone finally arrive. Throughout the entire stay, the two hand soap bottles on the sink remained dusty, untouched by housekeeping. Even worse, during the final two nights, I found a mysterious stain under the bed cover when I lifted the blanket—too tired to complain, I just avoided that spot. Another incident involved the lounge server: when I asked to settle my bill, she ignored me completely—no eye contact, no response—even after three attempts. I had to step outside to smoke a cigarette before returning and standing right in front of her until she finally handed over the invoice. I paid in cash. To be honest, this experience fell far short of what I expect from a five-star hotel. Service, cleanliness, and facilities were all subpar. Despite giving at least 100 TL in tips daily, I got very little in return. If you're considering a Marriott stay in Istanbul, please look elsewhere. This property offers terrible value for money.
