Hotels near Besiktas Pier

"This trip to Istanbul became even more memorable thanks to this hotel. Everyone who works here was incredibly kind, and even when we had small or inconvenient requests, they always helped us with such pleasant and warm service. The moment we walked into the hotel, we were welcomed by a lovely scent, and everything was spotless and perfectly clean. The bed was so comfortable that we slept deeply every night. The highlight of this hotel was definitely the breakfast. Starting each day with such a generous and delicious meal was wonderful. And I want to give special thanks to the manager, Tutuk, who always prepared the drinks we requested even before we arrived. I truly appreciate her thoughtful service. The location was also absolutely perfect—wherever we went, everything was easy and convenient. I would love to visit again next year, and I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. "

"Let me just say if you didn’t know you wanted to stay at a real palace and be treated like royalty, now you need to add that to your bucket list! I originally booked a regular room (I was already happy that the hotel was a functioning palace and I booked it mostly for the Turkish Hamman) but was offered an upgrade at the suite on the Palace side facing the Bosphorus - I am thankful to the sweet lady at the reception that told me about it. The entire butler team, led by Necmeddin along with Erhan, Goksel and Ayhan are impeccable when it comes to customer service (think what you expect to get at a 3 Michelin star restaurant) - and I have stayed at many nice hotels. They always go above and beyond to ensure my parents and I had the most memorable experience, even though it was only for one night. I was left speechless how thoughtful and sweet they all are to ensure the entire experience was as special as possible and of the highest standard - (even the last part with the type of VIP taxi for transfer) and I’m someone that doesn’t get impressed easily given my extensive travel experiences. I would definitely come back to stay the palace suite again for a special occasion - money well spent for the unforgettable and the rare experience you get. Now I need to start looking at where else in the world that I can stay in a real palace!"
