Top Istanbul City Center Hotel Reviews

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

10/10 Excellent
"Everything and everyone was incredible at the hotel from the staff and amenities. The only problem with this hotel is the soccer stadium directly next to it. My cab couldn’t get through and dropped me off at the bottom of the hill and I had to walk which is fine only then the police wouldn’t let me pass on foot either. I walked around the back side and was lumped into a massive crowed of rabid soccer fans. Reaching the other side of the stadium I again was told no I couldn’t pass and had to beg the police to let me pass and they escorted to the back entrance. Just take a look at whoever plays at this stadium before booking. Also the game went late and you could hear the screaming for hours. This issue isn’t with the hotel or the staff because again they were all remarkable"
