Hotels With Pools in Istanbul Province, Türkiye

Wonderful location. It's tough with luggage going up and down the stairs, so a transfer is definitely needed. The view from the restaurant terrace is stunning, especially in the evening. We booked this hotel specifically for that view. The pool is small, and a swim cap is mandatory; you'll have to buy one if you don't have one. I wasn't a fan of the massage; it was given by a man, and the price was steep. The sauna and hammam were a nice bonus. The pillows and bed were very comfortable – perfect for relaxing after a day of walking around. Breakfast was excellent. Highly recommend!

The room was nice, but there's a mosque nearby, so it got a bit noisy in the mornings. The breakfast was really bad, but the hygiene and environment were decent. The main issue was that many of the staff didn't speak English, which made communication difficult.

Choosing to stay at this hotel was the best decision – we didn't have to worry about a thing during our vacation! The staff were friendly and polite, always ready to help with any questions. The breakfasts were good and varied, and every morning we were greeted by the most radiant woman (I didn't catch her name)! We had a ground floor room with no view, but that actually turned out to be better. We had a small garden view with a terrace and a table. It was very quiet and cozy. The room itself was small and elongated, but for an old city, this is more than normal. It was well renovated, everything was beautiful and tastefully done, with plenty of storage for clothes and toiletries. It was just like the photos. There were many lighting options. All the bath amenities were in the room, but they weren't refilled. Towels were changed daily. The soap and shampoo had a wonderful aroma. All the cosmetics seemed to be of high quality. The only thing that might bother some is the glass door to the bathroom. It's opaque, but silhouettes are still clearly visible. However, this wasn't an issue for us. Overall, everything was plentiful, and they went out of their way to help us, even allowing us to check in early upon arrival. A big thank you for an excellent and hassle-free stay!

The biggest complaint is that as soon as you enter the hotel, there are two platforms with three sets of stairs. Carrying luggage felt like climbing a mountain. Out of four people with four pieces of luggage, the bellboy only bothered to pick up the lightest one. How perfunctory. The room was a bit small and the facilities were old, but the hygiene was acceptable. The surrounding area of the hotel is generally not great. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're coming to Istanbul. My extended stay wasn't synced with the platform, so I couldn't successfully extend it. I ended up turning right out of the hotel and staying at a place that I think was called ZAL hotel, which was much newer.

The rooms were, as always, very comfortable, and the bathroom system was excellent. The hotel view was also beautiful, especially from the breakfast restaurant, in the innermost corner, where you can see the strait – truly a delightful breakfast experience. If I had to pick a downside, it would be the surprisingly strict security check to enter The Ritz-Carlton in Istanbul, where both people and bags have to be scanned! I later found out that many diplomats stay here… so… you get it. The hotel provided various chocolates, as shown in the picture. The toiletries cost 45 Euros per bottle if you take them home, but you can use them freely inside the hotel. There were many old maps of Istanbul in the hallway, and my child spent a long time studying them with great interest.

The hotel is beautiful and clean . The staff were very friendly and helpful at check-in. What I did not like about the hotel : - Our room was never cleaned ,we would go out all day and come back to find dishes from last night dinner . - There were cats all over the hotel inside , everywhere , the lobby, restaurant , the pool ,it’s like a cat rescue or RSPCA - None of the staff spoke English , even basic English - The restaurant staff were worse ,due to communication breakdown room service orders were sometimes wrong. Had room service all the time cos the whole place had cats . - Location is the killer - it’s extremely far from any attractions ,shopping or Turkey experiences I would recommend for aesthetics - it looks beautiful, the entrance and lobby is amazing ,minus the cats, the pool area is good and the rooms are clean and spacious . For holiday and exploring Turkey do not go there

The hotel is decent, though I’d say it’s a 3-star property rather than a 5-star one. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast at all. The rooms are spacious; we booked a family suite and were told it included two large beds and two small ones, but we were disappointed to find only one large bed and two small ones. As for the reception staff, some were helpful while others were not—they lacked a friendly demeanor.

There is little possibility. For example, no closed pool. We made a massage but the massage room was old. But the staff of the hotel are very kind and very endeavoury. I can't eat their right.

Upon arrival we received a room facing the main street. We could not sleep well because of the noise of the cars, but the next day the room was replaced with a quieter one. Thanks to the understanding staff. Everything was good, but the room's bathroom is old and needs maintenance and updating.

I booked this hotel because Agatha Christie once stayed here. The room's cleanliness and decor were quite good, but the table and chairs on the balcony were covered in dust, making them unusable. The bed was large and comfortable, and the room was well soundproofed. The TV didn't seem to work. The staff varied greatly; some were very patient, while others were clearly impatient with us. I wonder if they treat white guests the same way? Originally, I hadn't booked breakfast, and one front desk staff told me it would cost 40 euros to add. When I went down to add breakfast after checking in, a different staff member told me it would be 48 euros. I had asked twice the first time, so it's unlikely I misheard. In the evening, we requested two bottles of water, and they said they would send them up, but they never did, so we had to go to the gym to get water ourselves. I bought some souvenirs at the hotel, and one front desk staff member kindly packed them for me one by one. Later, he had to leave and asked a colleague to finish the job. This colleague just dumped everything on us. I sat on a sofa in the lobby to pack the bags, and when my friend started filming me packing, he actually came over and told us not to film. At nearly 1500 a night, the room isn't cheap. Are they behind on their salaries? The service attitude was uncomfortable. I might discourage friends who want to stay here in the future and those who ask online. But this hotel probably doesn't lack guests and won't care about my review, LOL.
