Cihangir Hotel Bosphorus

very nice place to stay

The hotel was in a bad location. Mid-way up a mountain. I was deceived into thinking the hotel had a view over the lake because the advertisement showed a view. The room was small. I booked a room with two beds and got a room with a double bed. The 2nd night we were moved to an accessible room with 2 beds. The breakfast was great. The property was hard to reach, especially by night. The taxis did not want to go there. We had to walk out the streets to get taxis. We had to pay extra to return to the hotel one night. The hotel called several times for taxis for us, but each time, none was available. I regretted staying there.

The room was clean, and the breakfast was good.

Staff very nice

It’s okay. It wasn’t easy to find if you try to walk from Taksim.

Beautiful hotel for the price

Very friendly staff. Genuinely caring and helpful. They went extra to keep our luggage for a couple of days in their storage while we were traveling to other city. Breakfasts had a rich menu with many options, and, nice and friendly staff too.

I loved my stay

The entire first floor was a demolition zone when I arrived: dust and pieces of dry wall all over the floor. Reception was temporarily on the second. My first room’s heat was broken. They were very nice about quickly moving me to another room. Unfortunately the whole place smelled strongly of overly perfumed cleaning supplies masking smoke.

Location, cleanness and friendly staff.

Close to cruise ship terminal and shopping area such as grand bazaar. Metro is close by and convenient. Very clean rooms with good customer service. We enjoyed our stay

Location

The view and location was great however the rooms can be too small

The service of all staff I encountered was personal, respectful and effective. Location is amazing. Just a few minutes from Taksim square, tucked away in a small and dead quiet cul-de-sac. Breakfast starts early -- 7 a.m. and is in the newly-refurbished 6th floor dining room with sweeping views of the Bosphorus.

The location was great. The suiw room was spacious. The breakfast was good but same items every day.

Very nice and affordable

Good value for the money and the location.

This hotel was not what I expected after reading the descriptions on hotel.com. When I got the hotel key, it was three single beds instead of the three twin beds I had booked. When I inquired about this, the hotel management informed me that there were no twin beds available. A single bed in a very small room. I spent 15 nights there and had the same breakfast every day. It may use a little work. The restaurant on the 6th floor has a great view of the Bosphorus, but no one speaks English, and the only menu available online is in Turkish. Overall, the personnel is kind, although the breakfast selection should be updated, and the restaurant on the sixth level should be improved. Overall, friendly staff. The breakfast selection should be updated, and the restaurant on the sixth level should be improved. No information on Istanbul attractions or even the hotel was available in the rooms. When we arrived, the safe box was broken, there were issues with the vanity sink, and there was a general need to pay attention to maintenance and customer satisfaction.

Location was perfect and beautiful views of the Bosphorous from our room. the drawback was taxis were an issue to get on time.
