Loop Hotel Bosphorus Istanbul Reviews

Beautiful hotel and amazing views! The room was spacious, light and airy and the bathroom was nice. Only negative was that the pool was closed and we weren’t told in advance (one of the reasons we chose Loop over others was for the pool). Other than that everyone was very helpful and would recommend!

The hotel room is large + the view from the restaurant is really good, you can overlook the strait. Breakfast was a dud, but it was nice to watch the strait while eating it. The room facilities are also new. There is a separate area for cooking, washing and drying, but I have never used it. There are two bad things to say. One is that you need to walk up hundreds of steps to check in and out... which is a pain for people with big suitcases. In addition, the room I stayed in at that time had a roaring sound from the machine from time to time. It was quite loud. It might be the sound of the gas self-heating equipment.

I liked the super helpful staff, they always took care of our comfort And just an incredible view of Istanbul

The room is clean and tidy, with a simple and elegant design, but the bathroom is decorated with gold to show luxury! The restaurant has an unparalleled sea view, and you can watch the sunrise and sunset over the strait!

Very nice and clean hotel. Great view! The staff is very friendly. Every wish is catered for. 100 percent recommendation!

The hotel is hidden in the middle of steep steps and is not easy to find. All facilities are in good condition, but the breakfast is very average.

The location is hard to find and parking is difficult. The facilities and breakfast are equivalent to those of small hotels in domestic county towns. Not recommended.

Very satisfied with the room and service The front desk does not speak English I’m really not used to breakfast

The morning was a bit rough, and we had to climb a hill to get to the hotel.

So-so

The worst hotel ever. They are misleading people with the posted pictures. Poor water in the room. The breakfast is so poor. The rooms are so dirty. I regret coming to this hotel with my family and friends. I do not recommend this hotel. They don’t speak English and they are making fun of the guests in Turkish. So noisy, party all the time with teenagers. The hotel is located in the top and there is so many stairs (105) to climb with your own luggage with no help.

First impressions are awful. The taxi drops you off at the top of a staircase in an insalubrious street where you walk past feral cats and garbage. I argued with the driver that a 4 star hotel must have a street entrance - he was right, there is no vehicular access. We struggled down the steps with our suitcases helped by a friendly local. I had made an error with the booking but Mustafa, the receptionist, was helpful and we sorted it. The first of our four nights was spent on an upper floor in a suite which had probably 16 window blinds incapable of blocking out the afternoon heat. The a/c was ineffective. The view of the Bosphorus, however, was incredible. The next night we moved to a lower room with a similar view but with totally inadequate a/c. In the morning we complained that the night temperature was 27 degrees. When we returned that afternoon we were told the engineer had fixed the a/c. An hour later the temperature was still 27 degrees so they moved us to a third room where we remained for two nights. The temperature never got lower than 23 degrees and then only briefly. Another recent reviewer has described a very disappointing breakfast so I won’t repeat that. As first time Istanbul visitors we sought normal tourist advice. Mustafa, the friendly receptionist, proffered a tour company leaflet. He was unable to be of much help. When asked about tram tickets he explained the use of a smart card - he sold me one for 10 euros only to find that there was no credit on the card. When I later told him he shrugged his shoulders. The manager tried to be helpful and as he realised we were running out of patience he said the hotel would arrange our airport transfer at their cost. That was nice of him. However my wife and I expected to be in a 4 star hotel with normal services including a room with proper a/c and a decent breakfast. This expectation was not fulfilled. This is a poor hotel by any measure.

Comfortable enough, amazing view. It’s quiet since it’s off from main road but probably not suitable for people with mobility issues or heavy suitcases. Breakfast was disappointing, hotel stuff was helpful enough but not 4-5 star hotel standard. Our room was 101, sea view family room. We only needed one double but having a 2 bathroom came out quite handy. Noise: you hear boats, cats, seagulls which are nature of the city. But there was a weird water pipe noise during the night…it was not too loud but quite irritating. Breakfast: only filter coffee or tea, packed cheap fruits juice. More savoury options but they don’t indicate what they are so it’s a bit of challenge. There are only basic fresh fruits, ham and cheese. You can order espresso or cappuccino for an extra cost. Hotel staff: we felt they were doing the minimum job but still helpful when we asked. They were not rude as someone said, but we didn’t speak Turkish. Not sure if it’s worth the money since price spiked during the new years period. But we were happy with our choice.

Best staffs I have ever came across. very welcoming, helpful and accomodating. !00% recommend this hotel. Best view suits. Not accessible but if you're happy to climb stairs (quite some) then it is indeed a hidden gem. Average brekky.
