I stayed for three nights in April 2023 while traveling for business. The hotel itself was truly magical, but I must admit that it didn't quite justify its price. It was rather expensive, and if I were paying out of my own pocket, I would doubt my decision to stay there. On a positive note, the bar on the top floor offered a breathtaking view. The staff was consistently polite and readily available, which was commendable. The use of Byredo cosmetics was a delightful touch, adding to the overall experience. However, it's worth noting that when returning from downtown to the hotel, be prepared for taxi drivers who may overcharge you under the assumption that you are staying at the IC and therefore must be wealthy.

Hotel's Favorite
Just coming from Intercontinental Madrid where you can feel this elegant to dream for ambiance, first of all this time they received us at 3 am without reservation. Very welcoming staff when I called from airport >>>we feel at home at this specific hotel. we got disabled room ( with shower ) for my relative. Said hello to mr Ali who is always around with a smile. the CityLights bar upstairs has the most amazing view and that night the DJ had chosen such beautiful songs ( even from colombian legend Lucho Bermudez) french songs and so on ( oct 26/22) Please don't stop playing piano or violin downstairs. I will always come back

I stayed there with my family for 13 nights during the month of May. The staff made our stay memorable. The club floors are great. The guest relations, lead by Victoria turns any issue into a happy story to be told. The breakfast is a beautiful symphony lead by Ali, Eren, Levent, erdu, and all other staff. They pampered us and other guests and everyone feels like royalty.

Hotel was clean everywhere. Staff were helpful and cheerful. They also made a way out to help you when you need it. My colleague and i needed to book a cab from the street and the staff took initiative to get one for us. We were assisted by great staff throughout our stay and their service was genuine and natural. Special thanks to Mehsut, Veysel, Gulseda and Bahar. Thanks.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Intercontinental - what a special, beautiful hotel. The best I have ever stayed in in a city. The rooms were incredibly comfortable (helped by the pillow menu available at reception if you wish to switch your pillow), the Skybar was fantastic (great music and stunning views of the Bosphorus at night) and the service was exceptional. Every person we met who worked there was friendly, professional and helpful and we were so impressed that, at breakfast halfway through our stay my husband wrote on a comments card how much he loved the french toast and from that point on, the chefs made sure it was available every morning for the rest of our stay. Wonderful attention to detail. We hope to stay with you all again one day, thank you for taking such good care of us. …

Hotel was under renovation. Our rooms were club class but very old fashioned. Plug points to charge our phones etc we’re not there beside the bed. Need to surely renovate the rooms. Service was good. Housekeeping was not upto 5 star standard. We were there for 4 nights. They were nice. They gave us delayed check out. That’s extremely important. Location is extremely good.

The Intercontinental is on a hill above the city and gives commanding views from your room and the 14th floor restaurants and bar. The splendor does not end there. The room I had on the 12th floor was amazing, no matter the weather. The room was spacious and had a huge bathroom with all the amenities and plush towels. The location is near Taksim Square and there is a beautiful mosque and many shops and places to eat. It is a steep walk to the waterfront where there are ferries and tours. Although there was renovations in the lower floor, the breakfast restaurant and check in area worked well. The staff were always most pleasant and helpful and were there when you needed them. I ate at both restaurants which had breathtaking views at night. You can read my review on the Safran on Trip advisor. I can't fault the hotel in any area and I received good value I suspect because it is not the busy time of year. Would stay here again in a heart beat!…
