Istanbul Hotels with Free Parking.

The rooms were, as always, very comfortable, and the bathroom system was excellent. The hotel view was also beautiful, especially from the breakfast restaurant, in the innermost corner, where you can see the strait – truly a delightful breakfast experience. If I had to pick a downside, it would be the surprisingly strict security check to enter The Ritz-Carlton in Istanbul, where both people and bags have to be scanned! I later found out that many diplomats stay here… so… you get it. The hotel provided various chocolates, as shown in the picture. The toiletries cost 45 Euros per bottle if you take them home, but you can use them freely inside the hotel. There were many old maps of Istanbul in the hallway, and my child spent a long time studying them with great interest.

Pros: 1. The breakfast offers a mix of traditional Turkish breakfast and Western options, with a great variety of cheeses and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. 2. Although the room is small, it's very tidy and clean. It gets cleaned daily, and the bed sheets are changed every day. 3. The location is excellent. It's within walking distance of Yedikule Fortress and Marble Tower, and only an 8-minute walk to the sea. 4. The surrounding area is a residential neighborhood with schools, making it very quiet. 5. The hotel's Wi-Fi is super fast and never lags. Areas for improvement: 1. It would be great if there was an airport shuttle service.

A nice small hotel with all amenities, and timely cleaning. The cafe offers a stunning view of the sea and the strait. Cormorants and crows are always a delight to see, waiting for guests to arrive for breakfast. The location is very convenient, close to the metro, ferry crossings, and Bosphorus tours. Airport transfer can also be arranged. Special thanks to the staff for their hospitality.

Good day! I'll start by saying that the hotel failed to fulfill its obligations regarding the booked room. We booked a family room with a balcony for our family. Upon arrival at the hotel for check-in, we were immediately told that there were problems with our room and they couldn't accommodate us. They offered us one night in a different hotel. A bellboy escorted us to the other hotel and carried our luggage. The alternative hotel turned out to be, to put it mildly, a dump – tiny rooms, a non-functional air conditioner; in short, it was awful. We were so upset that we just dropped our suitcases and immediately went out into the city, only returning to sleep. The next morning, we returned to our hotel for breakfast and to store our luggage. After breakfast, we inquired about our room and were told it would be ready by 2 PM, even though the day before they had promised we might be able to check in that morning. They lied again, but we decided not to get too upset and went out to explore. We returned to the hotel at 2:30 PM, and to our surprise, the reception handed us two key cards for different rooms – not even adjoining, but located at opposite ends of the floor. So much for a family room! Furthermore, when we returned to the hotel, the electricity had been off since 12 PM, and they promised it would be back on by 8 PM… We decided to check out the offered rooms. Naturally, they didn't at all match what we had booked; there was no balcony, for which we had paid extra. Since we were already exhausted from all the 'hostel hopping,' we decided to just take the offered rooms. But it was a complete disappointment! Returning to the hotel in the evening, around 11:30 PM, the electricity that was promised by 8 PM still hadn't come back on, which also meant no hot water and no air conditioning. A large group of guests gathered at the entrance, demanding a solution (by the way, the manager is constantly absent, and if you want to talk to him, you have to wait 1-2-3 hours). As a result, the hostess tried again to offer relocation to another hotel for one night. Everyone went to get their belongings, and to our surprise, when we came back down, no one was there; they had simply forgotten about us. Meanwhile, it was already past midnight. We waited for the hostess to return and for us to be moved. About 1.5 hours later, all the guests were brought back 😂 apparently, they couldn't find enough 'hotels' to accommodate everyone. After some time, around 2 AM, the electricity finally came back on. So, out of 3 nights, we spent 2 nights in complete stress and confusion. By the way, the electricity went out again the next day at the hotel, but they managed to restore it quicker. Regarding the hotel service: the toilet paper in the room ran out, and the TV wasn't working. First, my husband asked at reception for more paper and to fix the TV. Then I personally asked the housekeepers who were cleaning our room for paper. To our surprise, when we returned to the room in the evening, the paper was still not there! And of course, the TV still wasn't working. I had to visit reception twice more to get a roll of paper. The water in the room was never refilled during our entire stay. The room we booked was supposed to have slippers; in the rooms they gave us, one had them, the other didn't. The hotel offered breakfast on the restaurant terrace. The breakfast was average; everything was dried out because it wasn't covered in any way, and the selection was mediocre – lots of cheese of one type, various cold cuts, boiled eggs, fruits (in the first few days, a meager amount of melon and sliced oranges with grapefruit; later, perhaps when foreign tourists arrived, the selection became richer). The coffee machine, of course, wasn't working; there was only instant coffee, which quickly ran out, and we constantly had to ask for more. The only positive was the view from the terrace during breakfast. Otherwise, I do not recommend this hotel. There are many problems, constant promises, but no action to fix the situation. My rating for the hotel is 1 out of 10.

The hotel is decent, though I’d say it’s a 3-star property rather than a 5-star one. I wouldn't recommend the breakfast at all. The rooms are spacious; we booked a family suite and were told it included two large beds and two small ones, but we were disappointed to find only one large bed and two small ones. As for the reception staff, some were helpful while others were not—they lacked a friendly demeanor.

The hotel is beautiful, but the rooms are very small, the adaptation is cool and hot, it's what they control. I booked for breakfast, and the breakfast was delicious. Lunch was kind of good, but it was overpriced.

My first night was a disaster because my room's power supply kept cutting off and they took almost 3 to 4 hours to fix it, due to that I couldn't sleep the whole night and my morning plans got wasted too. I asked the hotel manager Mr.Arda to give me an extra night, (he refused), airport transfer on my checkout date , (he refused) , room upgrade, (he refused) , Then Mr Arda promised us a complimentary dinner at the rooftop restaurant and that was amazing .My initial plan was to stay 3 nights but then I extended it for 2 more nights because of 1 man Mr.Karem at the reception , the nicest guy of the hotel , Mr.Karem and Mr.Arda helped us alot and supported us in every aspect, but sorry to say all the other staff members there had just 1 answer. im sorry we cannot help you we cannot help you , I'll definitely visit again, Thanks to Mr.Arda and Mr.Karem ❤️ and lastly thanks to Mr.Servet who told us about the free shuttle service provided by the hotel which takes us to Taksim . Thank you, Double Tree Regards Akif

The hotel is beautiful and clean . The staff were very friendly and helpful at check-in. What I did not like about the hotel : - Our room was never cleaned ,we would go out all day and come back to find dishes from last night dinner . - There were cats all over the hotel inside , everywhere , the lobby, restaurant , the pool ,it’s like a cat rescue or RSPCA - None of the staff spoke English , even basic English - The restaurant staff were worse ,due to communication breakdown room service orders were sometimes wrong. Had room service all the time cos the whole place had cats . - Location is the killer - it’s extremely far from any attractions ,shopping or Turkey experiences I would recommend for aesthetics - it looks beautiful, the entrance and lobby is amazing ,minus the cats, the pool area is good and the rooms are clean and spacious . For holiday and exploring Turkey do not go there

Convenient location. Staff was helpful.
