Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul
We had a room with a small terrace opening to the pool, which was still in the process of being opened. Staff generally were helpful and attentive, with the exception of the lobby bar where it was always a struggle to get someone to serve. Housekeeping and room service were excellent

Melas Hotel Istanbul
A lovely modern hotel. The buffet breakfast was excellent, with a big choice of food. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was excellent and a good size for a hotel pool. The only downside was that the area was very busy, with lots of traffic, but you could not hear any traffic ...

Crowne Plaza Istanbul Ortakoy Bosphorus by IHG
The lady on restaurant floor was totally negative and un happy to give answer or assist. She was rude almost I can say, twice I returned back from the door. Whatever she should be loving her job, if she is not happy let her resign.
