Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

10/10 Excellent
"The best thing was the Bosphorus view of my room, which was very calming, peaceful. The room was quiet, insulated from the noises around and had an interesting unusual shape. The room was clean and efficient and the cleaning crew were very helpful and pleasant. The spa and massage experience was excellent. The outside pool was very pleasant as well. The breakfast was good but ended too early for people spending vacation in the hotel. I missed it most of the time. Thankful for the cafe inside and outside for late risers like me… overall I enjoyed my stay and will really missed the view."

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Balat hotel for you.
