Marmara Region Kid friendly Holidays

Nice hotel and amazing location near the Mall and Aquarium!

Istanbul is built on six hills and the central touristy areas are the Sultanahmet and Taksim Square / Istiklal Avenue and their surroundings. we stayed for six nights and this included the Eid ul Adha holidays spanning four days. The city was crowded no matter where you went. However, the luxury hotels are a bit further up north from these central areas and situated along the Bosphorus shoreline on the European side. These are all on hills and takes 10-15 mins walking to reach any useful tram or metro station. Swissotel is one of these and spread over 65 hectares. Taking an Uber yellow taxi to and from the hotel to Taksim square was around $5.00 each and made it very convenient to reach any touristy site. The calm, beautiful and elegant surroundings of the hotel were something to treasure. And on top of it all it was immaculately clean and artistically a marvel. The experience right from the moment of entering, checking-in and settling in the room was like a breeze. The breakfast buffet (included on our reservation) was out of this world. Despite being a large restaurant and full of guests, the staff were super attentive and the quality of eatables available was just fantastic. The room was made up each day and in a meticulous manner. I once left my night suit hanging in the bathroom and found it neatly folded on my bed when I returned. Tap water is not drinkable in Istanbul and this hotel provided an unlimited supply of free bottled water to the rooms. Top marks.

everything was very good

Hotel location is great, rooms are clean. The hotel is already old now and must be renovated. The rooms and bathrooms are in bad shape. Room service was ok but not that good for the overpriced meals. Outside pool is amazing but no staff on sight
