We recently stayed at The Stay Bosphorus and had an outstanding experience. The location is perfect, with stunning views of the Bosphorus, the bridge, and the mosque, creating a truly picturesque setting. The hotel itself is fresh and modern, with excellent amenities that made our stay very comfortable. What made our stay even more special was the friendly and accommodating reception staff. Beran, in particular, kindly upgraded us to the penthouse, which added an extra touch of luxury and made our visit truly impressive. Additionally, the hotel is surrounded by numerous restaurants and shops, and the close proximity to the ferry station made exploring the area very convenient. Overall, I highly recommend The Stay Bosphorus for anyone looking to enjoy a wonderful stay in Istanbul.

I had a very good experience at this hotel! When I arrived, the check-in was fast and easy. The staff welcomed me with a smile, and they were very friendly during my whole stay. My room was big, very clean, and the bed was super comfortable. I also liked that there was a lot of space for my things, and the bathroom was clean and modern. One thing I really appreciated was the quiet environment, so I could rest well at night. The hotel location is also great, close to everything I needed. I want to give special thanks to Omar from the staff. He was always ready to help, very polite, and he made sure I had everything I needed. He really made my stay much better with his kindness and professionalism. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel to anyone. I will definitely come back on my next trip!

Stayed in the penthouse . Amazing experience !! Worth every minute.

Nothing!

Amazing views from our superior room, onto the Ortakoy mosque and the Bosphorus Bridge; they made our stay. Comfortable and beautifully furnished room. Very convenient location for taking ferries, including to the cruise terminal.

Breakfast buffet was expensive (so we ate elsewhere). The toilet made a loud noise when flushed (like a horn of a departing ship, fittingly enough) and the overhead shower head poured water rather than spaying it.

Great location, great service

The location and the unique penthouse suite were quite modern while maintaining Istanbul's historic charm. It offered stunning panoramic views of the Bosphorus and Ortakoy Square.

Due to its central and lively location, there may be some noise late into the night from clubs and restaurants after 2am. I chose this location expecting this, so it wasn't a major issue for me, but it could be a concern for others.

Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect! The room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully designed. The location couldn’t have been better — close to everything we needed and with amazing views. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. And the activities offered were so much fun — there was always something to do! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway. Would definitely come back again!

Nothing

This is a 'boutique hotel'. It is very unique and quaint! I liked the ideal of the very old age of the property. The management ought to highlight the history (or a story) of the property, because there is surely a story there! The hotel is located next to a popular restaurant The Cafe, which is not related to the hotel, The Stay. The restaurant has a great view and is right on the water! The square outside of the hotel is fantastic and a great place for people-watching and also catching a ferry! There are several shops, eateries, cafes, and bars, dotted around this cool square! There is a ferry station right there on this square! This hotel is in a terrific location. The rooms are appointed nicely, and the beds and linens are very comfortable. The staff is friendly, upbeat, kind, helpful and accomodating! I'll stay here again!

The hotel was difficult for the taxi driver to find. The reception desk did finally come to find me to help me to the hotel which was very kind of them! The room I originally purchased was called 'city view', but it was a view of the very close building next door.

The balcony was amazing

Every morning, I watched a well-dressed woman in front of Ortaköy Mosque having her photograph taken by a professional photographer.The scenery is as beautiful as a postcard, with the breeze from the Bosphorus.If you stay here for a few days, you will be close to the words of Orhan Pamuk in his novel “Istanbul”. He used to enjoy seeing the Asian side from Beşiktaş, especially during sunrise.It's true that Ortaköy is far from the Garata Bridge, but it only takes half an hour to sail to　Eminönü.You can also take an Otobüs to Karaköy. Don't forget the magic words "Burada ineceğimiz" to indicate that you will get off the bus. (2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Türkiye.My heart goes out to those affected by the disaster. I hope things will get better soon.)

Sadly, at midnight, I felt like I was in a movie theater with the Dolby system(R) because of the bass coming from the hall or so on where the hopeful young next generation may be gathering.
