Brilliant breakfast, bedding, services and breathtaking views. Impeccable interiors won't leave you untouched. Direct passage to the shopping mall is a nice convenience once you have come for shopping.

Luxury and Comfort at Its Finest

TripAdvisor rating 5.0/5

İrem O TripAdvisor review

If you're looking for a luxurious and comfortable stay in Istanbul, this is the perfect choice. From the moment you enter the glorious lobby, you're transported to a world of elegance and refinement. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, and the rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. The view from the hotel is breathtaking, and you can enjoy it from your room or from the rooftop bar. The spa is also a must-visit, with a range of indulgent treatments to choose from. The breakfast buffet is delicious and varied, and there are several on-site restaurants that serve exceptional cuisine.

Dissapointing Breakfast-Wonderful Service

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

Tunc o TripAdvisor review

This was our 4th visit to Raffles Hotel in 7 years. We stayed in the Silhouette Suite. The Quality of the room and service was impeccable as always. The customer service was awesome. The room was comfortable with great beds, had everything one can need during a stay.Well done Raffles. As for breakfast, it is another story. I always remember the spectacular buffet breakfasts of the Raffles Istanbul Hotel. This time it was a great disappointment.I have no idea what happened. The mouth-watering breakfast pastries were gone, we were looking for the former Raffles Breakfast Buffets where you could find at least 3 different types of Danish,2 types of coffee cakes,many varieties of bread(raisin, walnut,olive) various fruit tarts.....what happened? there was a section where candies and Turkish delights were displayed.Who eats candy and Turkish delights for breakfast? really ? You could not find butter on the buffet, you need to ask the waiter...they will bring a small piece from the kitchen 15 minutes later.Butter is treated as the most expensive Russian black caviar in the breakfast lounge. I remember having a fresh fruit salad in one corner which I used for my yogurt.That too was gone ..the was a corner where a guy slices fruit for you. The french toast was as hard as a rock, waffles were cold.there were no pancakes but crepes which is fine but the crepes were uncooked and simply nonedible.we left them on our plate. For all this they will charge you 800 liras.This is insane.You get more variety and better buffet section in 3 star Sultanahmet Hotels. What are you doing Raffles People? you are a luxury brand hotel.There are luxury hotels opening in Istanbul every other month. I hope you get your act together very soon.
