Beach Hotels in Istanbul

My stay here was absolutely fantastic, and I highly recommend this hotel. The hotel boasts an excellent location right on the Bosphorus, sharing the same side of the strait with properties like the Four Seasons and The Peninsula, with the Asian side directly across. You're treated to stunning views of the strait from your room, the restaurant, and the pool, especially beautiful during sunset. A truly unique feature of this hotel is that it houses an actual Ottoman palace. During your stay, simply inform the front desk or concierge, and a staff member will give you a guided tour of the palace, detailing its history and architecture. It's a truly worthwhile experience and a distinctive charm that's hard to find in other hotels. The service at the hotel is also outstanding. We frequently used the in-room dining service, and the staff would bring the dining cart directly into our room and meticulously set up the table, creating a very ceremonial experience. Whether it was room service, restaurant service, or concierge assistance, the staff were consistently professional, warm, and attentive, delivering the kind of service you'd expect from a true five-star hotel. The hotel's dining options were equally impressive. The breakfast restaurant faces the Bosphorus, with a large green lawn stretching out front. Sitting outdoors, enjoying breakfast while admiring the sea view, creates a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere. We also tried the hotel's Turkish-themed dinner, which featured excellent dishes and exquisite presentation. Both the taste and the dining environment were thoroughly satisfying. If you're visiting Istanbul and want to experience the most iconic Bosphorus views, the historical ambiance of an Ottoman palace, and truly top-notch service and dining, this hotel is definitely worth recommending, and it's a place I'd happily stay at again.

The room was very spacious, and the bed was super comfortable. The cleaning was impeccable. A special thank you to the hotel's front desk staff. When I arrived on the first day, I realized my phone was missing, and they were incredibly helpful in contacting the taxi I had taken. Also, I arrived at 10 AM, and check-in was supposed to be in the afternoon, but the front desk warmly helped me check in immediately so I could take a shower and get some sleep to recover from a 10-hour-plus flight. I stayed here for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. The hotel's location is excellent, with many cafes, restaurants, and various shops downstairs, and it's very close to the beach. I will definitely choose this hotel again next time. Oh, and one of the front desk staff's names was Bugra; I forgot the other person's name. Thanks again to all the hotel staff for their warm hospitality!

A quiet place by the river in the middle of flowers and trees. The wooden mainhouse is as cosy in Summer as it might be in Winter, adorned with a majestic and well worn stone chimney. The garden and deck over the water create an intimate setting with the wonderful Ağva area, between river, forests and the black sea. The staff is friendly and attentive and the service was on point. The food offering covers Turkish basics and they are tasty and plentiful, some western staples are on offer too. The rooms are comfortable enough and each bungalow is hidden in the beautiful garden vegetation, one is even surprised so many rooms can feel so secret in such a small setting. The çay samovar sits by the quiet waterway and is enjoyable all day long with the lazy sway of reeds ruffled by the wind off the sea. Overall a fantastic stay.

I stumbled upon this hotel in what they call their 'Asian district,' and for the same quality, hotels across the river would cost a lot more. The public transport options around here are excellent — light rail, buses, ferries, and the subway are all very convenient. It's a great choice, especially since we booked a sea-view room. The ocean view is absolutely stunning; you just want to take pictures every time you look up. It would be perfect if the hotel windows were a bit cleaner, but otherwise, it's wonderful, and there are plenty of dining options nearby too.

Amazing hotel, amazing services and with amazing view. They found us we were family they gave us their suites even though we booked normal rooms with sea view. Everything was provided with really nice staff members that always were helpful and ready to help us and our family if we needed. And to not forget really close to many tourist attraction spots only in 10 minutes walk and between really nice alley roads.

The view from our room was beautiful. We found the shampoo and soap in the bathroom to be overly scented and did not like them. The room was clean, and the hotel was easy to access. However, the sign indicating the entrance to the hotel from the parking area could be more visible.

Location 10/10. The staff, Muhammad and Nargis, were the best, and there was another guy whose name I don't know. Everyone helped as much as they could 🫠. The room was clean; towels and bedding were sufficiently provided on the first day. Liquid soap, shampoo – everything as booked. Thank you.

The hotel is good. It doesn't reach 5*, but for its price it's good. There wasn't much in the breakfasts, no fruit at all((( The location is good, if you're not going to the old town. Because taxis to the sights are expensive. Only when checking in there was a Russian-speaking employee. After that no one spoke Russian.

The location is excellent. However, there was dirt on the couch in the suite, and the toilet seat was scratched and broken. They don't change the bedsheets daily; we stayed for eight days and they were never changed. The towels were torn and worn out from excessive washing. Some of the lights weren't working. Maintenance should inspect the property instead of guests having to point out issues.

The location, cleanliness, and breakfast were excellent. Although I mentioned a problem with the shower head when I checked in, this problem was not resolved. Such problems can occur in any business. A faster response would be great.
