My time at the Radisson Blu Bosphorus hotel was nothing short of amazing. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming, with the warmest Turkish hospitality. I have never been to a hotel with such nice and caring staff. I was delighted to see such a welcoming gift and note in my room left by the wonderful staff on the day of my arrival. That made me feel welcomed almost instantly. The room I had was exceptionally clean and well looked after. I stayed in the Suite - Bosphorus View & Terrace, and it can not be overstated how beautiful the view was from the balcony. Just from the balcony you could see the Büyük Mecidiye Mosque, Büyük Çamlıca Camii, Kız Kulesi, Ayasofya-i Kebir Cami-i Şerifi and so much more. Watching the boats sail up and down the Bosphorus strait never got boring for me, and if you are lucky like I was, you may even see dolphins surface out of the ocean. The rest of the hotel was equally as clean. I spent many evenings in the Cruise Lounge to recover from busy days in the city and other than my room, was my favourite place to be in the hotel. With great staff, an amazing view and a diverse food and drink menu, I could have spent my whole day in the lounge. Overall, a lovely experience from start to finish. I’m already looking forward to staying here again!

Outstanding Stay at Radisson Blu Bosphorus We had a wonderful stay at the Radisson Blu Bosphorus in Istanbul. The location is absolutely fantastic, and the views of the Bosphorus from our room were simply beautiful. What really stood out, however, was the service. The entire staff was incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The people who cleaned our room were among the friendliest and most pleasant hotel staff we have ever encountered. One experience especially deserves recognition. We took a short mini-vacation during our stay and didn’t want to take all of our luggage with us. The hotel manager went far beyond what we expected. He arranged for a taxi to take our luggage, personally made sure everything was handled properly, took photos of the taxi and its license plate, and sent them to us so we could feel completely comfortable knowing our luggage was safe. That level of personal attention and care is something you don’t often see, even at very good hotels in the United States. A beautiful location, wonderful views, excellent service, and genuinely caring people. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend the Radisson Blu Bosphorus to anyone visiting Istanbul.
We had a wonderful stay! The staff were excellent—everyone was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and took the time to show us everything and explain all the details. The location is perfect, and the apartment was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The biggest highlight, however, was the view. It was absolutely breathtaking and made our stay truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!
Dear Hotel Management, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for one of your staff members who treated us with exceptional kindness and professionalism during our stay. We truly enjoyed Mr OGUZ CALISKANOGLU his warm attitude, helpfulness, and the way he made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. Such excellent service made our experience at your hotel even more memorable. Please convey our gratitude and appreciation to him/her. Staff members like this are a great asset to your hotel. Thank you for providing such outstanding hospitality.
We’re familiar with Radisson Blu from various locations across Europe and have never had a problem. Unfortunately, this whole experience felt like a bad joke to me. We booked a Premium Room—not just a standard room—and based on the photos online, we were expecting a great room for the extra cost. On top of that, we paid extra for a Superior Bedroom, and while we understood it was in the adjacent building, we still expected a room that matched the photos on the hotel’s website. In the end, upon arrival, we began to regret our decision fairly quickly. The entire section of the hotel where our rooms were located is separate from the main, nicer part of the hotel, which isn’t such a problem, but when we opened the door, there was hair and other “nice” things on the floor, so the housekeeper was probably off that day. The main disappointment, however, was both rooms. For the price I paid, I would have expected at least a room similar to the ones on the internet, but unfortunately, it was apparently all a scam. On Monday night, there was a party going on all night right under our windows until 4 a.m. As a bonus, there was an unpleasant lady at breakfast who didn’t even speak English—and she demanded extra money without any explanation... A terrible experience. Give this hotel a wide berth. I regret every euro we had to spend there. I've attached some photos from the internet, followed by some beautiful photos of the rooms from our actual stay. I don't think any further explanation is needed.
