The Swissôtel Bosphorus was the perfect hotel for my wife and I. It was conveniently located within walking distance or a short taxi ride to most key sites and attractions. The staff were very helpful and room staff were excellent. The amenities including the gym and spa areas are first class The view from the room (Bosphorus Corner Room) was inspiring. Highly recommend.

My stay was wonderful and met most of my expectations. To further improve the guest experience, I recommend providing more room placement options, particularly on upper floors which can significantly elevate the overall comfort and enjoyment of the stay. This was my 3rd time there but every time they offered me lower floors!
