6.6/10 (245 reviews)
The stuff we’re really nice, the hotel is from a close distance to everything, 2 minutes walk to the metro and 5 to taksim street.
The rooms could’ve been slightly cleaner, we blocked the door with a towel to stop the smell of cigarets coming from the next room.
But it’s okay if you’re there just to sleep not spending a lot of time at the hotel.

8.8/10 Excellent! (962 reviews)
I had an excellent stay at Richmond Hotel in Istanbul. It was a wonderful experience from beginning to end.
The service is of outstanding quality: very professional, welcoming, and always available. You truly feel well taken care of.
The breakfast is remarkable: very varied, generous, and delicious. What I especially appreciated is that it changes from one day to another, which is quite rare in hotels. Every morning offers something different, always prepared with great taste.
The location is ideal: the hotel is very well situated, extremely well connected to public transportation, and above all very safe. It is easy to get around the city from there, and you feel comfortable and secure throughout your stay.
I highly recommend Richmond Hotel and would gladly return.

4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Lots of interesting artefacts. Could do with a bit more information in English and in some places the lighting was quite poor.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveller
Good place to buy the museum card as queuses are short, then carry on up the hill to the Topapki Palace etc
4/5 - Good
Jo
Half of it is closed for renovation- but the half that's open has some very impressive exhibits.
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveller
The museum is in the middle of major renovations. 80% of it is closed (and you only find out after you buy the tickets)
3/5 - Okay
Joy
A rather large part of the Museum being restored and closed to the public hence above rating.
