I had a fantastic stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul. The spacious room with a amazing view of the Bosphorus was a highlight, and the breakfast spread was absolutely amazing! However, the hotel is located on a steep hill, which made exploring nearby areas a challenge without relying on taxis.

My recent stay at The Ritz-Carlton Istanbul was a blend of luxury and challenges. I initially hoped for a balcony room, but after several room changes due to water quality issues, I found a satisfactory space with clear water. The staff proved to be really good-very attentive and helpful-which greatly enhanced my experience despite the hiccups. The direct access to various dining options and a commendable breakfast made for good mornings, but the spa was closed, which was unfortunate.
