"It was a very small, cozy and inexpensive hotel for two nights. There was a cafe belobit I didn’t eat or drink there because I wanted to explore and be around more people. I was unable to get the TV to come on but I was my book instead. Also, the water in the shower did not drain. Others than that. It was very good value and a good location near many bars and restaurants and only 8 mins from the ferry. (But over an hour from either airport so plan accordingly)"

Top Tophane Hotel Reviews

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent staff! Love how everyone was very helpful , the hotel was closed to everything! We will definitely go back to stay there!"

Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"I recently stayed at Hilton Istanbul Bomonti with my family, and once again we had a wonderful experience. This was my sixth time staying at the hotel, and it continues to be a place I genuinely enjoy returning to. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Abdul Kadir, who was incredibly helpful, friendly and professional throughout our stay. He kindly upgraded us to rooms with access to the Executive Lounge, which was a lovely gesture and made our stay even more enjoyable. What particularly stood out was Abdul Kadir’s excellent attitude and genuine hospitality. He was always approachable, attentive and happy to help, and he made sure that my family and I were well looked after and comfortable. His friendliness and professionalism really added a personal touch to our experience. The hotel itself was, as always, beautiful and comfortable, and the level of service is one of the main reasons I continue to return to Hilton Bomonti. After six stays, I can confidently say that the consistently welcoming atmosphere and excellent staff make it feel very special. A big thank you to Abdul Kadir and the Hilton Bomonti team for making our family stay so enjoyable. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be returning again. Parmis"
