5 Star Hotels in Istanbul

What a fantastic hotel in a great location . Near the blue mosque and grand bazaar both within walking distance . Bed was comfortable and room a decent size . Staff were very helpful and a quick response when something needed . Lots of places to eat nearby around the surrounding streets & a good breakfast provided by the hotel with good selection of cold and hot options .

We stay in Crowne for 2 night. We arrived a little bit early and the lady let us checked in slightly early and they even upgraded our room ( we are very lucky). They have lots of option for breakfast. The tram station is 5 minutes walk. You can get around the city with tram. We will come back to Crowne after our Konya and Cappadocia trip. It's definitely worth it to stay in this hotel.

We stayed here as a family and chose the hotel due to its location and also the Hilton brand. Every aspect and element of our stay was outstanding; from the welcome and check in process, the concierge, housekeeping, catering and reception desk - all outstanding and so detailed in the service they give to hosts. We particularly liked this hotel because whilst it's located in the old down district, it's amenities are highly modern, crisp and contemporary. We really enjoyed dining on the roof top terrace, adorned with an array of beautiful flowers and a cosmopolitan vibe. On Friday evenings the live music performance by a guitarist and singer made for a lovely dining experience complemented with delicious food (the tiramasu was one of the best I've ever had!). Our particular thanks to Gonca and the breakfast team for going out of their way to make us very well looked after and adorning our baby with love and lots of attention. We will most certainly return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay in Istanbul - you will be very pleased

Everything was perfect. Water. Tea. Coffee was offered everyday in the room. Nice location for transportation

It really deserves to be an internet celebrity store Many people come here to eat. The location is also very good, close to various scenic spots. You need to know the pitfalls of taxi taxis in Türkiye I really made a profit in this area.

We stayed at the hotel in November 2023. Family of 4. therefore we booked 2 rooms. The hotel was able to reserve the rooms for us next to each, that was very convenient. Rooms: had everything we needed, I liked that there was no carpeting, I prefer bare floors as there’s no dust accumulating in the carpet. Our rooms faced the street and every morning we were woken up by Azan. Magical sound, yet very early, so, be aware of you like to sleep in. The mosque was right across from the hotel, I don’t know if you are able to hear it if you room is in the back. Excellent breakfast. Hot and cold items. We didn’t quite enjoy the dinner food. It was served a bit cold, took a long time (and we were the only one in the restaurant) and cost seemed a bit high for the items ordered. We only ate at the hotel restaurant one time, the evening we arrived, just for convenience. There are a few fast food places and small restaurants and cafes on the street where the hotel is, and because it’s not quite the city center, the prices are much better than around famous attractions. There is a grocery store across the hotel, you can buy some snacks or drinks. We bought cup o noodles there to eat in the evening as well. You can also buy famous Turkish coffee there, which is soooo much cheaper than in gift shops around attractions. There is a lady working at the front desk, Ezgi, she is so helpful and courteous. She is a true asset to the hotel’s team. Very knowledgeable. The hotel has a contracted taxi, I guess you can call it this, you can use the taxi to get to places in the city. You pay directly to the taxi driver. If you pay with a card, there is a surcharge fee. You can exchange money at the front desk. Perhaps the exchange rate was a bit less than in the city center center, but it felt safer for me to exchange money inside the hotel. The tram stop is right in front of the hotel. And the tram will take you directly to The Blue Mosque Area, Galata Tower, all the famous spots . We had water in our room every day, so we didn’t have to buy any extra bottles. The gym is on a small side but had good equipment. However the music is set to a very loud level. VERY loud. I asked the attendant to turn it down a bit and he said this is the requirement to have it that loud. Maybe for a large gym it would have been ok, but for a small area it was very uncomfortable. There is an outdoor pool, we didn’t use it since it was cold. We enjoyed hammam, nice relaxing place. We would stay at the hotel again if we are back in Istanbul. Reason for Visit:Family vacation

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, could not have asked for better. The staff took good care of us, all were very friendly and helpful. Our room had a view of the Sea of Marmara, Kadikoy, Harem station and the European side including Topkapi palace. - simply fantastic. The room was clean, and practical and large enough for three adults to move around comfortably. The beds were comfortable and suitable for our very tall family! The pool on the roof was small (there’s also a larger indoor pool), but a welcoming feature to allow you to unwind after a long day of sight seeing or just to spend some time sunbathing and cooling off (again, the views were amazing). Breakfast was excellent, everything you could possibly want was on offer, but I have to say that the omelettes needed a little work, they were on the dry side. Other than that all the food was top quality. The location is probably the best part about this hotel, it’s away from the hustle and bustle of the European side, but has excellent access to the metro, taxis, ferries, buses, dolmus’s and even a tram. You can be in the thick of sight seeing in a matter of 15-20 minutes by ferry! The price was also reasonable, so much so that there is little point in staying at the more expensive hotels on the European side - it just makes sense to stay here! Overall, loved this hotel and hopefully will be staying here again. Thanks DT Hilton team for making our stay a great one.

It is a very nice hotel. The Executive Lounge and the Rooftop Bar are on the highest Floor where you have a fantastic View of the Bosphorus and can enjoy delicious Food. Our Room was very large and very clean. When we arrived there was a Fruit Basket, different Variations of Chocolate and a Bottle of Wine served on our Table even though we don't drink Alcohol i found it very accommodating. The Breakfast is wonderful and there are many different flavors. The Coffee was unfortunately not good so I drank Çay. You can walk 10-15 Minutes and then you will pass various small Cafés, Supermarktes and Restaurants. I recommend this Hotel because it’s worth a Visit !

There are more pros than cons, but there are cons. The hotel is composed of a number of independent houses, located on a public street, i.e., to go from one room to another or to the reception/restaurant, you have to go out to the street and go into another building. It is not cozy at all. The hotel is located at a stone's throw from the Topkapi Palace, the Hagia Sofia Mosque, the Blue Mosque and the Water Cistern. You walk less than 3 minutes to get to any of them. On the other hand, amid Istanbul’s traffic, the worst I have ever seen in my life, the traffic near the hotel is the worst of the worst. Very easy to get to the places I mentioned, a nightmare to get in and out of an extremely bad location traffic wise to the generally very bad traffic elsewhere in town. Rooms are decorated in Turkish style, spacious and modern. All convenience you would expect from an hotel of this category are available. Were it not for the location, it would not have been the best choice in my opinion.

My entire stay at the hotel was excellent and pleasant from the very beginning to end! The hotel staff was absolutely amazing in all areas and all aspects of guest services and care. I am very impressed by the level of professionalism and positivity that I experienced from the moment that I stepped into the hotel. When I checked in, I had the pleasure of having Emre assist me. Emre was very professional, helpful and acknowledged me as a Diamond member. Throughout my stay, he graciously assisted me with any questions that I had along with providing me with recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants. Ali and Emirhan were also very helpful and gracious as well. They introduced me to Levent, their manager. I was able to let Levent know how happy I was with Emre, Ali and Emirhan's helpfulness, professionalism and level of service! Additionally, I had the pleasure to meet Esref Gun, the Banquet Manager. Esref is definitely a valuable resource to the Hilton Kozyatagi! He personally sought me out in the restaurant to introduce himself and offer his assistance during my stay as well as gave me beautiful fresh fruit plates and beverages that were delivered to my room. His graciousness and hospitality were so appreciated. The fresh fruit plates were such a nice touch and something I will always remember! The Executive Lounge and restaurant staff were amazing! Meryem, in the Executive Lounge, was so attentive, pleasant and hospitable! The restaurant staff were equally as attentive, pleasant and hospitable! Miroy and Burak were so attentive and friendly! And Neslihon, the breakfast chef, was so good! She actually remembered my omelet each morning without me having to ask. The food that was served in the Executive Lounge and restaurant for breakfast was absolutely delicious and of the highest quality! Honestly, the best food that I have ever experienced at a Hilton Hotel! My compliments to Esref to his banquet team of chefs, as well as to the Executive Lounge and restaurant staff!
