Stayed for a 2 night weekend visit to Istanbul in Bosphorous view room. Stay was fantastic from start to finish. Hotel is in a great location. The galataport area of shops and restaurants is right outside and also plenty of night life. Staff were excellent. Friendly helpful and enthusiastic at all times from reception to restaurant and housekeeping staff. We ate at Octo on the 9th floor on Saturday night. Food was great and service exceptional. Just a short flight of stairs up to Sky Karaköy bar on the roof for cocktails and fantastic views of Istanbul and a lovely atmosphere. Breakfast amazing. Good selection of the usual international dishes but Haci Mehmet made us really tasty local Turkish dishes on top for us to try without us even asking!. Depending on traffic it was a 20-30 min uber ride to Topkapi/Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque or a short walk to the tram and 7 mins into the golden horn from there. One tip is that the road is narrow and gets bad traffic in the afternoon so either leave plenty of time when ordering cab/uber or walk a couple of streets back from the water edge towards the main road and pick up your cab there. Also Bosphorous rooms view can be temporarily partially blocked by very large cruise ships docking straight opposite!! Wasn’t cheap but was a full 5-star service. Would definitely stay again.

The hotel is beautiful, tidy, and quiet. There is no noise disturbance. Its location is excellent, very close to Galataport and the Kirkuk district. However, the room is a bit small and only accommodates two people. Overall, it is excellent and I would stay there again.

It is a nice hotel but our room was in the 8th floor, the restaurant is in the 9th floor and the room was really noisy.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. This hotel location is convenient to the water and the area historical sites. The tram is about a 5 minute walk that takes you anywhere a tourist would need to go.

Worst stay ever. This is not a JW Marriott. They don’t deserve that title. 100 reasons never to stay at this hotel—too many to list. Heaters didn’t work, no hot water, construction early AMs even on sundays making it difficult to sleep, dark closets, minimal hanger space, tiny rooms, worst dry cleaning service ever but they charge 15 Euros for a shirt, etc… and when u complain, all they say is ur right and it stops there…I cancelled all of my future stays for business w this hotel.

It is located in right front of the new mall, and you can enjoy shopping and restaurants there. The reception and our room was clean and beautiful which gave us satisfaction. It felt like secure around the hotel, but the road on which the hotel is are too busy with vehicles, which requires your caution.

The hotel is excellent, the location is excellent, clean and new. The negatives are the weak sound insulation of the room doors, as you can hear the sounds of passersby.

Enjoyed every bit of the stay and will go back for sure - the service is outstanding, rooms are small but great and you can’t beat the location. I10 min walk from Galata tower. The rooftop bar was outstanding and they have great DJs. The bufet was awesome too even though a bit pricey. Definitely doNOT book on hotels.com if you have Marriott status because you don’t get any of the benefits then. Just pay a bit more and book directly through Marriott.
