Top Cagaloglu Hotel Reviews

Elysian Airport Hotel & Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location Great staff"

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

6/10 Okay

"Old building with old decor. The lobby is dark. Shower has poured drainage. They were doing construction during the day in room next door. Poor and nonfunctioning lighting in room. The bedsheets had stains on them. The only good thing is it’s location in the middle of the tourist area. We wouldn’t go back. Breakfast was decent."

Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant

10/10 Excellent

"We booked the Carina Gold based on the reviews reviews and it didn’t disappoint. The location was perfect. We walked to everything in the old city within minutes. The concierge was very helpful in giving us itinerary ideas and setting up what we decided to do. The hotel arranged pick up at the airport and back. The breakfast was very extensive for the size of the hotel. Also very good. Spotless clean room and common areas made me happy. Staying here was an excellent experience that I highly recommend."

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here twice - in September 2025 and again in May 2026 - and both stays were excellent. The staff are warm and professional, and the location is good for sightseeing by taxi, though less ideal for walking since the hotel sits on a hill. Nişantaşı is about 15 minutes away on foot, Dolmabahçe Palace around 10 minutes downhill, and Taksim Square roughly 15 minutes away. The hotel itself is fantastic, with a huge lobby, luxury boutiques, and one of the best Bosphorus views in Istanbul - especially from 16 Roof (reservations recommended). My suite was very large, with a dining table, several sofas and armchairs, and two bathrooms. Water pressure was excellent. Suite guests get Executive Lounge access, including breakfast, so there’s no need to pay extra for a breakfast package. The lounge breakfast is decent but somewhat limited by Turkish luxury-hotel standards. Breakfast in the main restaurant, however, is truly excellent and much more extensive. The hotel also has a very good gym plus indoor and outdoor pools. Very little to complain about. If I had to nitpick, the bathrooms lack a bidet, which feels surprising at this level of luxury. Also, outside breakfast and happy hour, the lounge offers relatively limited snacks and drinks. Overall, this is an outstanding five-star hotel and one of the best luxury-value options in Istanbul. Even as a long-time Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador/Titanium member, I would happily stay here again over many Marriott properties in the city."
