Our room was in the last corner of the hotel. "With pool access". Well. Let's say it nicely: It doesn't look like on the pictures. IMO totally overpriced compared to the regular rooms. While I would chose the hotel again, I would definitel go for another room.

From arrival to checkout, this was one of the best hotel stays that my wife and I had ever had. I know, everyone says that, but this truly was. We live on Palm Jumeirah in Dubai and have high expectations, which weren't only achieved, but often exceeded. When making this statement, please note that we have compared this stay not only with hotels in Dubai, but also 4 others previously in Istanbul, and many others around the world. Our Bosphorus corner view room was hardly the largest we have stayed in, however, the view out of the window, which can be seen when lying in the extremely comfortable bed, is simply breathtaking. There is a large bay window that has Sultan Ahmet on the right and the strait view all the way up to the first large bridge north of the hotel, probably a couple of kilometers away. Despite the room size not being huge, it wasn't tight either, and contained many useful items for guests to use. It was always kept very clean too. Our housekeeping assistant, Mustafa, couldn't do enough for us. Apart from the room, like Mustafa, all of the staff are very kind and responsive to every need. We found this in all of the locations across the hotel. The spa was large and had great facilities. The outdoor pool was well maintained, but does get a little busy at the weekends, as the hotel gets quite full of local Turkish guests, which is obviously a good sign of the hotel's quality. The food we had in the Chalet Garden and 16 Roof restaurants was also of a very high standard, as well as room service and in the Executive Lounge. The fact that the majority of ingredients in food come from Turkey and are so wonderfully fresh means that just about everything tastes so good, which my waist now shows! I know that it's a very simple thing, but even the freshly squeezed orange juice in the morning at breakfast was exploding with flavour. I know that this might sound a bit 'OTT', but just try it and see! Overall, the Swissotel was an exceptional hotel with amazing staff, situated in a great location for getting around the city (taxi's available outside 24 hours) and left us wanting to come back. The only thing with hotels such as this in Istanbul nowadays, since we first started visiting the city about 6 years ago, is that prices have risen exponentially. For us, coming from Dubai, we would pay the same amount to stay in a room of a similar standard at fine hotels in our own home city, such as with the Jumeirah Group, for example. Nowadays, Istanbul and the Swissotel like many other hotels, can see that there are guests who are willing to pay more for high quality, and in my opinion, exploiting this fact signifcantly, especially when you compare local costs of products, labour, etc. One of the reasons why people visit Turkey is the combination of great experiences with value for money. Even on high incomes, that balance is shifting. However, if you're looking for a special place to stay in Istanbul that isn't cheap, but I have to say, provides better value for money than many other high-end hotels in the city that charge the same amount and sometimes more to stay, this is 'the' place. In summary, it's an exceptional place that we hope to return to if their costs don't rise! Ultimately, this was one of the best ever hotel stays we have had, and we will be comparing every other hotel in future with this one.
