I had a wonderful stay at Port Bosphorus Hotel on October17 to 21,2025.. Felt very safe there as a single woman! Hotel was very clean and room & very spacious, staff at check- in were very courteous and helpful. They offered tea and water while I waited for my room. When I arrived to my room there was Wine, Pastries.Fruit bowl and nuts that was all in my room. I did reserve the room with the balcony it had a king bed and a twin bed and bed was very comfortable.It was so nice to wake up and sit on the balcony with a patio table and umbrella. I was able to see the cruise ships & Port Galata.Its very walkable area and the tram right down from the hotel. The breakfast buffet was awesome and so is the restaurant upstairs.Everything about the hotel was awesome!!!Will stay there again!

Unser Aufenthalt im Port Bosphorus Hotel war insgesamt sehr angenehm. Besonders gut gefallen haben uns die Sauberkeit im gesamten Hotel und das leckere Frühstück. Das Zimmer war allerdings kleiner als erwartet und auch die Aussicht entsprach nicht ganz unseren Vorstellungen. Ein großes Lob möchten wir an Frau Ayca aussprechen – sie war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Sie hat uns sogar mit einer kleinen Überraschung zum Geburtstag meiner Frau überrascht, was uns sehr gefreut hat.

The location is perfect right across from the cruise port. We had the deluxe room with varanda. Though facing the port and a busy street we slept well. They have a pillow menu which we woukd have used because the ones in the room were too plump for our personal enjoyment. As with any service industry waiters were a bit slow so I refilled my coffee myself. The fruit gift in the room was appreciated . Would stay here again.

We stayed before our cruise. The staff is amazing, in fact one of them helped us with our luggage agents boarded the ship. The room was modern with room darkening coverings. After our long flights we had an excellent night's sleep. On top of that, the hotel is just across the street from the cruise terminal.

The hotel's location is great. I liked the fact that it was across from the Galata port. I had multiple issues though. the most important one was the sexual harassment calls that I received during the first day of my stay. someone kept calling my room asking for S**. I was travelling with my sisters and it was terrifying for us. I kept going to the front desk and they wanted us to move our room instead of investigation and kicking the guest out. I had already emptied my luggage and settled in the room and they expected me to pack my things again and leave which I wouldn't because I had plans that evening to meet my friends. I disconnected the room phone till the next day. The second issue was that i booked this hotel because its a VIP through Expedia but when I got their they told me that they wont upgrade my room even if they have the availability. I called Expedia and they tried to tell me that its upon the hotel approval. I pulled the VIP footprint and read it to the customer service representative and asked her to transfer my call to a supervisor. The supervisor couldn't resolve the issue with the hotel and they send me $200 voucher. the hotel walls are really thin and can hear everything that happens in the hallways. I wouldn't stay in this hotel even if its 10$ a night.

Our recent stay at your hotel was unfortunately marred by a series of unpleasant experiences. The receptionist we encountered was not only unhelpful but also quite rude. To our dismay, he assigned us a room with a view of a useless hallway (totally ridiculous). When we requested a different room, hoping for a more enjoyable stay, we were offered a room with a basement window. Needless to say, this felt incredibly claustrophobic and significantly impacted our comfort level. This entire experience was quite disappointing and left us feeling frustrated. We would appreciate it if you could address this issue with the staff and offer some form of compensation for the inconvenience

Check in by Yigit was super fast and he offered us a room upgrade to a more spacious room. The luggage attendant was very informative. The hotel breakfast was amazing, comparable to cruise ship buffet breakfast. It’s very convenient to stay if you’re boarding or disembarking from a cruise since it’s right across Galataport. It’s a convenient location because in front is a tram and other public transit options. I mainly walked, it’s about an hour walk to main tourist attractions; it sounds far to walk but I feel I experience more of the city this way.

Over het algemeen een hele fijne hotel met een goede ligging. Vlakbij de tramhalte. 1 minpunt. De bedden zijn SUPER hard. Maar het personeel heeft ons goed geholpen door de volgende dag 2 dekens onder de lakens te zetten zodat het wat fijner zou slapen. Betreft de VIP voordelen. Weten ze in het hotel niks vanaf en doen ze ook niks voor je. Dit kan wel beter geregeld worden door Expedia.

Took public transportation to the Blue Mosque area and Grand Bazzar which were very easy to access. The hotel itself and the staff were wonderful. We pre-paid for the breakfast which was good but I think I would have wandered the area more to find other options.
