The little things that matter when you pay a price!
Travelled on 12/2025
I would have given this hotel 5 stars, but I'm hoping my rating (among many others) will prompt management to take my feedback seriously.
First off, this is a luxury hotel, the lobby is a picture of opulence and the reception is excellent. Nobody offered to take our bags to the room (we traveled with our two teenagers and booked two rooms, so that's a lot of bags), but that's a minor quibble.
We were upgraded (I'm ...

Classy & Comfy

Everything about this hotel was tops: Front Desk staff and porters outside were very courteous and accommodating. We asked to leave some of our luggage there a few days before our actual check-in as we were going to Cappadocia for a couple of days and they accommodated our request. When there was a bit of a line at Front Desk when we finally checked in, our porter brought us to a desk on the side to be checked in ...

Most of the Club lounge is now effectively a restaurant so actual sitting remaining is cramped.
Service at the pool is non existent.
Mini bar prices are ridiculous. 8 euro for...

Great Staff and Beautiful Views, but Rooms Need Updating
Travelled on 10/2025
We stayed at the Intercontinental Istanbul near Taksim Square twice during our trip. For the first part, we were upgraded (as IHG Platinum Elite Ambassador members) from a Junior Suite to a One-Bedroom Suite, Room 407. The room was spacious with a beautiful view of the Bosphorus Bridge, but it felt dated and in need of refurbishment.
When we returned from Cappadocia, we booked one of the newly remodeled Junior Suite...
