we stayed at the Richmond in August 2008 and it was the perfect location. we were immediately welcomed in a very friendly way and had an upgrade to a superior room. that was a very good start! the room was of a very good size and clean. the breakfast was lovely and with a good choice of food. the area... more

This is the perfect location for bars, restaurants, sightseeing. The hotel is really nice. There is a rooftop bar that is very chic. The rooms are really nice, mine was overlooking Istikal and if you're sensitive then get a room on the other side. I loved it. There were people milling about on the street all day and music, I... more

If I were in Istanbul on business, I would stay here. The rooms are what you'd find at a city Hilton. The location was terrific for touristing and at night an easy area for finding restaurants. My husband and I stayed here and I agree - a bit noisy at night. The rooms are right over Istiklal Cadessi, and it's... more

We stayed at the Richmond hotel for three nights in July. I was on a business trip with my husband. Have to say the location is perfect! Right there on Istiklal street (3 milion people / weekend passing by) with shops and restaurants. It is close to the metro station also. We had a nice, big room on the second... more

I stayed three times in the hotel. It is clean. the first two times I was very excited with the rooms because of Bosporus view! It is extraordinary! the third time I was ok because i got a room that was looking in Taksim square and it was too noisy! I feel thought that it is a little bit expensive... more

The hotel was clean,well maintained and in a great location,but our room really had no view.We also missed tea/coffee facilities.We decided to have a drink at the rooftop bar one night, but paid 42 tl for two vodkas and cokes which was ridiculous.The bar itself is nice and has wonderful views,but we did not think it merited those prices. We... more

We ordered the Bosphorus view deluxe room and were lucky to be upgraded to the suite room. So, you see I may be slightly biased but I liked this stay a lot. Great view of Bosphorus (and Russian consulate building), very good, clean, well-designed, spacious room. Breakfast was reasonable 4-star (instant coffee for breakfast was the only disappointment). The location... more

A colleague and I stayed in this hotel while in Turkey on business. I requested a non-smoking room and ended up on the 4 floor facing the street. One thing that makes this particular hotel nice is its location to one of the most popular streets in Instanbul. Needless to say the noise from the street was nuts. I requested... more

We stayed here after having stayed in the Ceylan in previous years. We had an executive room which was spacious with tea and coffee making facilities and a large bathroom. The room was at the front of the hotel and there was a lot of noise on the Saturday night but the rest of the week was fine. The breakfast... more
