Çırağan Hotel Bosphorus

Çırağan Hotel Bosphorus

10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely loved the hotel! Very conveniently located with walking distance from all the important places. We booked a room with partial sea view and it was amazing. The hotel was super clean, staff was very helpful, and the way they setup the room was very nice especially placing the floor mats with slippers near the bed with a chocolate was a very nice gesture. If I come to besikhtash I will definitely stay at this hotel and will also recommend to my friends."

Elite World Grand Istanbul Kucukyali

8/10 Good
"Rooms need a little touch, nothing major example. Glass for toothbrushes. Robes, hangers only has 2 , better quality bath towels ,breakfast staff should be more attentive to customers rather then clearing tables, probably more choice of hot food at breakfast. Grill restaurant staff should wait until you finish your starters before serving dinner. Other than that all good."
