Top hotels in Beşiktaş
Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul
A hotel that concentrates on corporate clientele. The garden rooms overlook a noisy corporate events facility so opt for a room in the east wing if you want peace and quiet. Food very good but very overpriced as we’re the drinks.

Çırağan Hotel Bosphorus
breakfast menu is with fresh produce with cultural dishes. Plenty of options in a very pretty area. Air conditioning works perfect, no sound. Rooms are clean, bathrooms smells fresh and it is so worth to get a room with a view!!

Melas Hotel Istanbul
A lovely modern hotel. The buffet breakfast was excellent, with a big choice of food. The staff were all friendly and helpful. The swimming pool was excellent and a good size for a hotel pool. The only downside was that the area was very busy, with lots of traffic, but you could not hear any traffic ...

Crowne Plaza Istanbul Ortakoy Bosphorus by IHG
The lady on restaurant floor was totally negative and un happy to give answer or assist. She was rude almost I can say, twice I returned back from the door. Whatever she should be loving her job, if she is not happy let her resign.
