    The room at Intercontinental Istanbul was like a little slice of luxury heaven. The safe box, mini bar, and coffee setup made me feel right at home. And let's not forget the massive 80-inch TV – perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring!

    The only thing I liked less was the size of the mini bar, but hey, that's just me!

    The stunning views of the Bosphorus from the Junior Ballroom were truly breathtaking. It felt like being on the set of a movie, with the majestic waterway as the backdrop for our event. It added a touch of grandeur that elevated the entire experience.

    Valet staff are bad.

    This hotel exceeded my expectations in every possible way. The luxurious amenities, including the Spa & wellness center and sauna, fulfilled my exclusive needs. The seasonal outdoor pool was beautiful and the sun loungers were comfortable. The location advantages were impressive, within walking distance of excellent restaurants and coffee shops. The private facilities, including in-room breakfast and special diet menus, were exceptional.

    The only issue I encountered was the lack of manicure services. Despite this, the beauty treatments available were top-notch.

    My recent stay at Intercontinental Istanbul for a business trip, chosen by my director, was nothing short of exceptional. The indulgent SPA InterContinental was an absolute highlight. The luxurious Turkish baths and steam rooms for both men and women were a true indulgence, providing a tranquil escape from the bustling city. The modern Western spa treatments were taken to the next level with a touch of traditional Turkish hospitality, creating an authentic and rejuvenating experience. The facilities were not only luxurious but also impeccably maintained, adding to the overall atmosphere of relaxation and pampering. The combination of traditional Turkish elements and contemporary spa features truly made for an unforgettable experience.

    Nothing, everything was perfect.

    The location is excellent and offers breathtaking views of the Bosphorus. The breakfast variety and quality are superb. The staff is courteous, warm, and efficient in providing service. The jacuzzi room is bright, clean, and roomy. The hotel has a PCR test room on-site, making it convenient for travelers. The cafe/restaurant on the top floor offers a 360-degree view of the beautiful city.

    Felt welcomed into the family, no reason to complain.

    Intercontinental Istanbul is the perfect hub for exploring iconic cultural sites like Hagia Sophia, the vibrant nightlife of Taksim Square, and the diverse flavors of the local dining scene. The hotel's strategic location near major attractions and the efficient public transportation system makes it a breeze to navigate the city with kids in tow.

    My wife says that it would be great if the hotel could offer more kid-friendly entertainment options or activities within the premises to cater specifically to families with children.

    I had an excellent experience at the Intercontinental, with Murat providing outstanding service during check-in. He assigned me a high-floor room, which was exactly what I wanted. The hotel's location is also very convenient, and the breakfast offered a great variety of options. Although the spa rooms were not exceptional and the massage felt rushed, it was still enjoyable. However, the highlight was the breathtaking view from the top floor.

    Nothing not to like.

    We recently stayed at a 5-star hotel in Istanbul and had an amazing experience. The staff at Intercontinental were phenomenal, especially ECE, Burak, and Hazal. They made us feel right at home and provided fast and helpful service. The location was perfect and we even received a room upgrade. The room service was excellent and the hotel facilities, including the club lounge and garden, were impressive. the staff's dedication to serving guests and making them happy made this hotel the best we've ever stayed at, both in Istanbul and globally. Give it a try and you'll understand why!

    We stayed for 5 nights at Intercontinental Istanbul and loved every moment. The hotel's timeless luxury and impeccable maintenance impressed us. Our room on the 17th floor offered breathtaking views of Galata and Southern Istanbul. The spacious and comfortable room provided a cozy retreat. The poolside was a delightful spot to relax, with towels readily available and the area kept impeccably clean. The adjacent gym boasted stunning Bosporus views. The location was ideal, surrounded by charming cafes and a popular metro station.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    The Christmas decorations at the hotel were absolutely delightful, creating a warm and festive atmosphere that made my holiday stay even more special. The general areas were well-organized and easily accessible, making it convenient for senior people like myself to move around comfortably.

    One thing I would ask for to enhance the vacation experience for senior people is better support for carrying luggage, as it can be challenging for older guests to manage heavy suitcases on their own.

It is also close to public transportation, allowing for easy exploration of the city. The rooms offer stunning views of the Bosphorus, and the staff provide excellent service, going above and beyond to accommodate guests. Additionally, the breakfast is delicious and the hotel has a rooftop bar with a great view.

    The staff was polite and attentive throughout our stay, making us feel welcomed and ensuring a pleasant experience. The location of the hotel was ideal, with easy access to vibrant city life, such as Gezi Park and Beyoğlu, Taksim. Additionally, the stunning view of the Bosphorus was a definite highlight.

    Furthermore, we were taken aback by the hotel's request for a deposit, which was more than the amount already paid, to cover any potential use of the mini bar. This policy felt unnecessary and put a damper on our overall experience.

    It's a great place for lunch near the metro station and restaurants, making it an ideal location for budget travelers. The hotel offers incredible and professional service to all its guests. The rooms are well-appointed with comfortable beds, clean linen, and great views of the Bosphorus. Moreover, the gym and pool facilities are top-notch and perfect for any fitness enthusiast.

    The hotel amenities are worn out, causing them not to be of 5-star standard.

    Attending a synod, I chose this hotel for its excellent meeting room with natural daylight, providing a conducive space for discussions. The attentive staff ensured a seamless experience. The location is convenient, with easy access to public transport and vibrant neighborhoods for leisure time.

    The only service that I missed for my work was a more extensive range of office supplies, which would have been beneficial for my meetings and presentations.

    My friends and I hit up the sickest spots - checked out a lit party scene and hit up a super cool museum. The hotel was sooo clutch - perfect base for our adventures, close to everything! And the views from the rooftop bar were insane!

    Yo, if they had a cooler hangout spot for us young peeps - like a trendy nightclub or something - that would've been dope.
