I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Istanbul. The staff, especially Kadir from the executive lounge, was outstanding. The location near Taksim Square was perfect, and the tea was excellent.

I had a remarkable stay at the hotel. The rooms offered a breathtaking view of the Bosporus and many iconic monuments, with room #1001 being a standout choice. The only downside was a lingering smoking smell that was promptly addressed by the staff. The service was impeccable, from the moment of check-in to the elegant check-out. The location, though not within walking distance of major attractions, was made convenient with available taxis. Dining experiences were delightful, especially at the Swissotel Executive Lounge.

The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms with a nice view of Dolme Bahce, but it may not match up to a 5-star standard when compared to nearby hotels.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, especially the corner room with a gorgeous Bosphorus view, were spacious but felt a bit outdated, not quite living up to a 5-star standard. The service was exceptional, thanks to the friendly and welcoming staff, particularly Melih at Cafe Swiss. The location, although not the typical center of Istanbul, offered a modern and stylish appeal and was great if you have a car. The dining options were varied and rich, serving in a venue with a stunning Bosphorus view. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
