Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul
10/10 Excellent
"This is the second time we stayed in this hotel within 2 weeks! excellent stay."
"Overall excellent hotel, nice bar and restaurant downstairs, excellent but very expensive roof top restaurant also. Hotel has a spa which I didn’t use. Staff all very nice and attentive always asking to help. Only slight issue with my room was a very slowly draining shower. I didn’t inform desk as it wasn’t that big a deal but if you like long showers would’ve been a problem. I def return here if in Istanbul again "
"I had a truly enjoyable stay at Seven Hills. From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the warm and attentive service. A huge thank you to Sinan, Fatima, and the wonderful cleaning staff—each one of them went out of their way to make me feel welcome and cared for.
My room was spacious, spotless, and well air-conditioned, providing a cool and quiet retreat even in the heart of bustling Sultanahmet. Despite the lively surroundings, the hotel itself was peaceful and quiet, ideal for resting after a day of exploring.
The location is absolutely unbeatable—just a few steps from the Blue Mosque and within walking distance of all the major historic sites. For those arriving by car, don’t worry about parking—the concierge handled the on-site parking beautifully, making the process effortless.
The only downside during my stay was the unreliable internet connection, which frequently dropped and required repeated logins. This was a bit inconvenient, especially if you need consistent access.
That said, the overall experience at Seven Hills was fantastic. I would gladly stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul for the service, comfort, and unbeatable location."
