What can you say about something so close to perfection? The bed was amazingly comfortable, the service immaculate, the views of the river unmatched. The spa incredible and the extra surprises in your room when you got back from a long day a real delight. All in all a true 5 star, with little room for improvement. My only complaint... more

There's one thing that you cannot pay on hotels and that is service and simpathy. This kind of service and attention that you only get on classic renowned hotels like the Ritz Carlton. The concierge was just what you look for, attentive and surprisingly dedicated to our requests. Thanks Ritz Carlton more

The overall experience at the Ritz is what you would expect from a five star hotel - outstanding. The service was perfection. Each request was treated as the most important task for them.

Having stayed at this hotel for almost 3 weeks with my family, this is the best hotel in Istanbul. The lobby is bigger than any in Istanbul with a superb Bospherous view. It has trays of complimentary Turkish delight and welcome drinks to suit the traveller. The people working there are very friendly and its so easy becoming their friends... more
