"This was a beautiful hotel and we enjoyed our stay. The restaurant on the roof had an amazing view and the food was great! It was very convenient to all the things I had planned to do and the staff was incredible. "
"The Swissotel still is a reference in Izmir. The location is unbeatable, lots of good restaurants within walking distance. Rooms are spacious, elegant and squeaky clean. Beds are very comfortable."
"Odayı çok geç verdiler giriş saatinde gittik boş odamız yok dediler bizde gittik gezdik 4-5 gibi gittik boş odamız yok boşalınca alalım diyip uzun süre beklettiler bizi"
"The Good: The staff are warm and welcoming, and the location is reasonably good: Nişantaşı, with its shops and restaurants, is about a 15-minute walk away; Dolmabahçe Palace is about a 10-minute downhill walk; and Taksim Square is about 15 minutes away, partly uphill.
The hotel itself is fantastic, with a huge lobby, several luxury boutiques, and one of the best views of the Bosphorus – especially from its excellent rooftop bar, 16 Roof (featured on the photo; reservations strongly recommended). My corner suite was also outstanding: truly colossal in size, with a huge dining table, plenty of sofas and armchairs for relaxing, watching TV, or enjoying a glass of wine, plus a large terrace with a table and chairs and direct access to the outdoor pool. The suite included two bedrooms, kitchen, two enormous bathrooms with Grohe fixtures, and even a washer. The gym and spa are equally impressive, featuring large indoor and outdoor pools and multiple jacuzzis. An Executive Lounge is also available on the 17th floor.
The Bad: Nothing really to complain about without getting too nitpicky.
The Mixed: Breakfast options in the Executive Lounge are somewhat limited by Türkiye standards, but adequate.
Summary: Overall, this is an excellent 5-star hotel in a good Istanbul location. The hotel is luxurious, comfortable, and offers all the amenities you could want - while also being highly price-competitive."
"I travel frequently and stay at the best places. The Intercontinental Istanbul is one of the top 3 hotels I've stayed at in the last 10 years. Everyone is helpful, professional, and smiles when approached. The lobby, the garden outside, the rooftop bar and the restaurant have spectacular views and top notch food, drinks, and wine. I am coming back and bringing the rest of my family."
