Port Bosphorus Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is in an absolute perfect location for those going on a cruise. It is literally directly across the street from the cruise gate entrance. The staff was very friendly, rooms were clean, and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. Only situation is that as it is located near the street and the cruise hub, you will hear traffic."
