Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated near Taksim Square, allowing easy exploration on foot, but the rooms show signs of aging despite having nice amenities. Service was exceptionally friendly and even included a surprise upgrade to a luxurious Presidential suite. The central location offers quick access to all of Istanbul's attractions, making it a convenient choice. The dining experience, while with some variety, may not match expectations for the price paid.
The hotel offers a beautiful side view of the Bosphorus from its immaculate rooms, but they need some attention and renovation. The service, although efficient, lacks friendliness and flexibility. The location is perfect for exploring Taksim Square and Nisantasi, just a short walk away. Dining is quite expensive and not the best value for money.
The hotel offers fantastic views over the Bosphorus, with cozy and comfortable rooms that are clean. However, updates and new carpets are needed. The service is exceptional, with very helpful and friendly staff, although professionalism could be improved in some instances. The location is convenient, with easy access to Taksim Square and Nisantasi, but the room views vary. The dining experience is top-notch, with fresh dishes, although individual pricing for menu items could be fairer. The facilities are well-rounded with all needed comforts.
The hotel is ideally located just minutes away from Taksim Square and offers clean and comfortable rooms up to 5-star standards.

The hotel is ideally located near Taksim Square, making it perfect for exploring the city. The rooms are decent, though not exactly as pictured, but they did provide an extra bed for our kid. The dining options vary in quality, with some standout selections and repetitive menu items.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were spacious with a ceiling-to-floor window offering a stunning Bosporus view. They were a bit dated but very clean, and it was the first bathroom on our trip through Europe that still had a bath instead of a walk-in shower. The service was fantastic with always smiling staff who were happy to assist with anything I needed.
My stay at the Intercontinental Istanbul was truly remarkable. The hotel offers breathtaking views of the Bosporus and the Sultan Ahmed Mosque, with lovely decorations in the rooms. The only drawback was the noise from surrounding cars, but overall, a fantastic experience.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms, while not overly fashionable, were huge with everything one could want or need in a hotel room. The view of the park was lovely, and being on an upper floor provided a nice view of the Bosphorus. However, the price could have been more budget-friendly.
The hotel is well-located, clean, and spacious, but could improve furniture and cleanliness attention. The service stands out for its offerings, yet there were some issues with negotiation and rudeness. The location is convenient, close to key sites, but had delays during check-out. The dining experience needs enhancement in quality and vegan options. The facilities are decent, but some aspects need attention.
The rooms were clean and the staff very helpful and sweet, despite some cigarette smell issues; however, the noise from traffic and police cars can be disturbing. The location is wonderful with a great view, although a bit far from the center. Overall, the service is amazing, especially highlighted by Ahmet Darakci's efforts. Dining was wonderful but relatively expensive.
Despite the rooms being old-fashioned and a bit small, they are very clean and comfy. However, they need renovation to match up with other InterContinental branches. There was a lot of hair in the bathtub despite them saying the room was ready.
The hotel has pretty spacious rooms with a beautiful view to enjoy and comfortable bedding, although there were a few power plugs lacking. The service is friendly, making you feel at home, even with early room knocks. The location is ideal, being close to major attractions and venues. The dining experience, although somewhat expensive, may not fully match the variety of other 5-star hotels in the area.
The hotel location is brilliant for both nightlife and daytime attractions, with rooms offering a nice view of Bosphorus. The service was exceptional, especially thanks to Mohammet from the spa and Ali, the manager. The dining experience was varied but somewhat pricey. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with spacious rooms offering amazing views of the square and the Bosphorus. The location is superb, making it a high-class hotel. However, some areas could benefit from modernization and the price might not suit everyone's budget.
