What guests think

At Renaissance Istanbul Polat Bosphorus Hotel, travelers frequently praise the friendly, attentive staff, clean rooms with striking Bosphorus views, and well-regarded leisure facilities like the pool, spa, gym, and rooftop venues that enhance stays.

Location works well for public transport and reaching sights, though the immediate area has fewer cafes, some find it far from the Old City, and construction nearby has affected views and caused early-morning noise for a few. Room quality varies: several mention small or dated spaces and occasional maintenance issues (air conditioning, TVs, fixtures), with sporadic smoke or damp odors and some hallway noise. Breakfast and on-site restaurants are appreciated, but food and beverage prices are high, and paid parking and valet fees are a recurring complaint. Overall, expect strong amenities and a comfortable base, with trade-offs around location, room age/size, and extra charges.

Well located for public transport (bus and metro) and also easy to get uber taxis. Overall we had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend this hotel.

ホテルは清潔で朝食会場のスタッフはとても親切でした。最上階のバーはバンドが毎日演奏していたようですが、音が大きすぎでした。料理や酒はとても高いです。安全な地域ですが、周辺にはカフェ等はあまりなく、ボスポラス海峡やグランド・バザールに行くにはタクシーでも少し距離があります。あと、当ホテルとは全く関係ないですが、外国人だとタクシードライバーは間違いなくふっかけてくるのでトルコ版のUberをご利用されたほうが良いです。タクシードライバーは英語はできません。また空港内のタクシー案内所もとても高いので気をつけてください。

Amerika’dan gelirken bavullarımız 3 gün boyunca Paris’te takılı kaldı. Bunu öğrenen otel görevlileri bize destek olmak ve bizi rahat ettirmek için ellerinden gelen her şeyi yaptılar. Odalar güzel, banyo konforlu, her şey çok temiz. Ama en önemlisi çalışanların güler yüzü, iyi niyeti ve hızlı sorun çözüp insana kendini evinde hissettirme çabası. Havuz büyük ve temiz, spor salonu çok güzel. Yeniledikleri saunalar çok güzel ve etkin. Çıkınca hemen yüzünüze buz sürüyorsunuz. Lobide ve spor salonu dışında soğuk, içinde meyve, nane olan su sebilleri çok iyi oluyor. Bu arada odaya söylediğimiz patates kızartması çok iyiydi. Soyunma odasında unuttuğum spor ayakkabılarını ertesi gün odama getirmeleri ise çok hoştu. Konaklamamızı daha keyifli hale getirmeye çalışan tüm personele, özellikle SPA çalışanı Ece Hanım’a ve Kalite Kontrol Direktörü Orkun Bey’e teşekkürlerimizle!

Room cleaning service was not consistent, and they forgot to replace towel once during our stay. Breakfast was not included in our room and it was too expensive in the hotel.

Room was nice and clean staff were friendly. However the tv was restricted so you could not use any hdmi ports so unless you speak Turkish it’s pointless having a tv. Breakfast was also ridiculously priced. It was around 850 lira which is around £23. I think considering I paid for the room I should be able to use the tv how I want, they do not even offer and movies you could purchase so it doesn’t make sense to restrict it for guests.

Upon arrival, the hotel manager informed us that there was a “major plumbing issue” and that we would have to be relocated to a different hotel for two nights. However, it became clear that the property was overbooked and the explanation provided to us was dishonest. Despite the manager’s assurances that special accommodations would be made for the inconvenience, no such accommodations were provided. This situation caused significant hardship. After traveling internationally for over 12 hours, we arrived to find no available room at the property we had reserved. We were forced into alternative arrange.

Otelin tanıtımında havuz görselleri ön planda kullanılmasına rağmen, konaklama sırasında havuzun kapalı olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Bu durum açıkça yanıltıcı bir tanıtım izlenimi yaratmaktadır. Personel çözüm odaklı yaklaşmamış, mağduriyet giderilmemiştir. Odaya kadar çıkarmadılar bile suratsız suratsız baktılar asla yardımcı olmadılar. Üstelik konaklama yaptığımız otelde otopark ücreti talep edildi. Hizmet, ilan edilen nitelikleri taşımamaktadır. Ciddi hayal kırıklığı yaşamış bulunmaktayız. Odayı deniz manzaralı alıyorsunuz tam önünde büyük inşaat ve inşaat vinci var. ileride zaten kapanır o manzara inşaat ile ama bunu da belirteceklerini sanmam. Ben not düşmüş olayım.

We stayed at the Hotel May 2025, there were construction in front of the hotel! They are building a high rise. Every morning at 7 am they start with heaving machinery. When we asked the manager about why they didn’t mention that on their website of booking! He said it is not everyday but that is not true it is full heavy work. The worst experience unfortunately. The manger name was Orkun Ozvural He gave us a pass for some free drinks and snacks, which we thought that was not the right way to solve this problem. Then he offered to change our room to a suite the last day of our stay .. we declined because we were going to wake up at 6am so no reason to change a room when we will wake up before the construction begins. We were really looking forward to stay at this hotel (we stayed in it 11 years ago ). It was a very bad experience and will never come back again!!
