Istanbul is one of the most magnificent cities of the world. Ciragan Palace is a very good reason to visit Istanbul. It is a First Class hotel, with all the amenities of a Palace and with an breathtaking view to the Bosporus! In order to avoid any surprises, ask for a Superior Bosporus View room or a suite in order... More

I would recommend this hotel for a short stay; the old palace is beautiful, the customer service is exceptional, and the entire place is impeccably clean. The rooms are nicely appointed, and the highlight is the 5 piece bathroom. A view of the Bosphorus is very nice, but I am not certain it is worth and extra 90 Euro a... More

What can I say about this hotel?? Everything was as luxury hospitality services should be in every hotel!!! Turkey is famous for its tourism yet overall the country is far behind a proper star rating system whith many proclaimed 5 stars to be proven to be 4 stars at least. Ciragan Palace though is not only an exception but a... More

Stayed in this hotel in January for one night. The hotel is beautifully decorated. Rooms are very nice and spacious, very comfortable bed. They are located in the new building, not the palace itself, which is fine, since it give you the view of the palace. Location of the hotel is great, right on the Bosphorus, short walk from Ortakoy,... More

I have been meaning to write this for some time.... Our stay was at the start of our Orient Express trip to Venice. Our room and service was fantastic.

I have stayed at this hotel on several occasions and it is just OUTSTANDING! From the greeting at the front door, the magnificent breakfasts, the fabulous hot chocolate afternoon teas in the opulent tea room overlooking the Bosphorus. The rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. The staff are well trained attentive and NOTHING is too much effort. We had... More

I was so exited to hear this is where they filmed a recent james bond. Super elegant and high class. The building was breathtaking. Stay in the main hotel if you want to see people and action. If you want q quite desolate building, stay in the palace part. Beautiful for a Turkish coffee and watching boats down the river More

The setting is absolutely magical and the service was exceptional. We were there in winter but it was still wonderful to walk along the Bosphorus in front of the stunning palace. Stopped by the Sultanahmet Four Seasons - it's pretty and centrally located but boring. Stopped at the Four Seasons on the Bosphorus - all the rooms face into a... More
