Dear Guest , Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to learn you enjoyed your stay with us. We thank you for your visit and hope to welcome you back to Swissôtel The Bosphorus very soon. Best Regards

5 out of 5
The hotel is first class, absolutely no complaints. Spotlessly clean, the staff did everything in their power to sort even the smallest of issues. Just a warning to some people who like to walk around the hotel and do their own exploring .....the streets around the hotel are steep....if that is no problem OK......but if you have any kind of mobility issue...don't plan on walking around the hotel. There is a minibar in he room, but I would certainly prefer empty fridge....dispensing machines in the corridors, in the lobby would be a much better idea, in my personal opinion.....they could provide much wider choice and more quantity of a specific item you like.... .....minibars for me are useless...just my personal opinion.
