We stayed in March and so could not take advantage of the outdoor space. It must be amazing in the summer time. The pool is heated but we did not know that and did not bring proper attire. We only had sun for a few hours Saturday morning and were able to have a fabulous in-room breakfast on our terrace... more

I'll make this review very simple. There are a number out outstanding hotels in Istanbul, The Ritz-Carlton, the Four Seasons, The Park Hyatt, etc., and they, along with the Ciragan Palace, offer outstanding 5-star accommodations, restaurants, and service. However, just having tea on the patio of the Ciragan Palace, overlooking the Bosphorus, takes your breath away and makes it worth... more

My wife and I stayed here for a week while attending a company conference. The City and hotel are amazing and must be experienced to be appreciated. We had our meetings at the Palace next door and it is a site in itself. The only issue is it is a bit away from the old city so a taxi to... more

I am just back from Istanbul and cannot say enough about this hotel. I am a frequent business and leisure traveler, and enjoy staying in better hotels. This is by far one of the best I've ever stayed in. It's a beautiful property with finely appointed rooms and extremely comfortable beds, sheets, etc. Each evening, slippers are set out, next... more

If you are the sort of person for whom a 'pillow menu' is a reasonable service expecation rather than an example of the type pf decadence for which the ottoman sultans were - often unfairly - maligned, then this is the hotel for you. Mega-tankers sail past on the Bosphorous from dawn to dusk, fresh Turkish Delight appears on a... more

Dont even think there is any point of writing a review on this palce. its just that good. Whether for work or leisure if you are going to be in Istanbul you HAVE to stay at the ciragan palace. the rooms, the views , the staff everything is top notch. more

I was upgraded to a Bosphorus room with a little balcony overlooking the water. Stunningly beautiful. The room was roomy and spotlessly clean. The staff at the Ciragan Palace are amazing--I ran out of business cards during my trip and two members of staff made colour copies for me on heavy paper--and hand-cut the cards so that they would be... more

Amazing view, tasteful breakfast, we totally enjoyed it, I would definitely so again!!!! I couldn't get enough of it !!! Book it without thinking again! more
