I expected far more from such a highly rated hotel. While my room was comfortable, I found my stay to be terrifically overpriced. In spite of the relatively high base room rate and the fact that the hotel bills itself as a business center, all of the business-related services (computer use, printing, phone calls) were ridiculously expensive as were food... more

6 stars ! Good view rooms, good food,good swimingpool,high quality! more

I'd read some of the reviews stating that drinks and food were expensive here, but nothing could prepare me for $45 dollar cocktails. Yeah, you read that right. Room rates at this well-appointed hotel are very reasonable, but they make up for it with outrageous prices on EVERYTHING else. I'm talking about double what you'ld pay in Paris, New York,... more

My husband took me to the Swissotel for the first half of our honeymoon. We were upgraded (at a small cost) to a room with a Bosphorous view, and this was a very, very good move! The view was absoultely stunning, and watching the sky get dark over Aghia Sophia as the lights twinkled on in Istabul is a memory... more

This was the third time I have stayed at the hotel in the last 12 years or so. The service is first class and cannot be faulted. The lobby area is great and the front desk and porter service is very good. It is also in a great location. If I was disappointed with anything it would be that the... more

One of my favourite stays in Istanbul, amazing views from the rooms of the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus, The beauty of the lobby really strikes you as you walk in, its very spacious and grand, and gives a great first impression, and again that view !! Service was the best feature though, always attentive and helpful, the concierge was... more

Istanbul is a fabulous city and I have been a couple of times. On this occasion I decided to stay at the Swissotel as it was a weekend away for my husbands birthday. The hotel is okay, but not more than that. It's definitely not well located if you want to go to the old city or if you want... more

A lovely hotel - fabulous views and fabulous service. The views over the bosphorus are wonderful. Service was impeccable - I had coffee on the terrace and sat there for well over an hour.....when i asked for the bill, they said "oh don't worry, you only had a coffee" (and they had seated me at the best table!). The only... more

This superb hotel occupies a prime position looking out over the mouth of the Bosphorus to the south and up to the Bosphorus bridge in the north. The service was first-class throughout and the hotel was spotlessly clean. My room was comfortable and spacious. The hotel facilities were good although I was disappointed that the spa and fitness facilities were... more
