My experience at Turquhouse Hotel was mixed. The stunning views of the Golden Horn from the terrace were a highlight, and I truly enjoyed the traditional Turkish breakfast. However, the room was on the smaller side, and communication with the staff was occasionally challenging due to language barriers. I appreciated the clean environment, but the absence of Wi-Fi in the room and some initial miscommunication regarding transportation options were frustrating.

I had a lovely time at the Turquhouse Hotel, thanks to the awe-inspiring views of Istanbul and a stellar breakfast spread each morning.

Location

8.0

The hotel is perched on a hill, which provides wonderful views, but it also means that access to the city involves either a cable car or a cab ride through traffic. Despite this, I enjoyed the local atmosphere and the peaceful environment away from the tourist hubs.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was nothing short of amazing, particularly with the option of freshly made menemen on weekends. However, my dinner experience was disappointing due to a limited menu and cold mains, which overshadowed the otherwise good Turkish cuisine.

My four-day stay at Turquhouse Hotel was like a home away from home. The amazing views from the hotel were stunning, especially from the Aziyade Restaurant during breakfast. The staff were warm and welcoming, always ready to assist, although some language barriers made it challenging at times. The location, while not central, allowed for easy access to taxis and a nearby cable car down to the city, which I discovered a bit late in my stay. Despite some minor hiccups, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Rooms
