Absolutely amazed by this hotel, breakfast is great, and the staff is very professional and pleasant. The hotel is shiny and clean! Designed very well, beautiful lobby…The restaurant on the 10th floor is stunning with excellent service.
SPA - hamam, sauna, steam room, and massage are also available. A separate room for a gym to work out! Bedding is very important for me also like good quality sleep like a baby. If you take this hotel you will definitely love it!!

Really nice property - the room was great, view was amazing, and the staff were super friendly. It is close to the tram and bus, however the area is not particularly walkable and there wasn't a lot in the immediate area. Trip to Sultanahmet was easy, but took about 45 min

Such a beautiful experience

Both my wife and I had a very good experience by all means. Service we very good and was worth every penny. Staff were amazing: very helpful and very warm. I remember some of the names in addition to the manager haydar: Salatin, Mert, Mehmet Nahail ... sorry if I spelled any of them incorrectly or if I missed any names. I strongly recommend other tourists to experience this hotel. For sure, in my next visit to Istanbul, I will choose it to stay.

Wonderful Stay and Excellent Service

We had an amazing stay at the hotel. Everything was spotless, the service was top-notch, and the food was excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. A special thanks to the breakfast chef who remembered our request from the first day and prepared it for us every morning without asking. Truly outstanding hospitality – highly recommended!

The overall stay was great. The hotel is clean and the staff is nice (specially Omer and Aysa during breakfast), except for one staff member: the man who stands outside the “welcome” guests. I didn’t get his name, but he was on the shift of Tuesday November 19 at 2:45pm when I arrived to the hotel. The taxi driver I had taken from Sabiha airport unexpectedly asked for 520 Turkish Lira in tolls (15 USD, which even in the US is a lot lol) in addition to the 1.280 TL fee and he didn’t show me proof that he had paid this much in tolls. When I asked for proof he was screaming at me, and then the taxi driver spoke to this Movenpick employee in turkish and I don’t know what he said but the employee was very rude, he sided with the driver and started arguing with me and then at some point he tried closing the taxi door on me and said “fine, go to the police station with him”. This is unacceptable from a five star hotel employee and very unprofessional. You do not close the car door on your guests and talk to them like that. I ended up paying the toll fees obviously and the taxi driver AND the Movenpick employee were wrong because when I left on Sunday from Movenpick to Sabiha airport I paid ONLY 130 TL in tolls!

Movenpick hotel deserves all praise for its location, staff, cleanliness and food in the hotel. We keep coming back to this hotel because it has everything that a 4.5 star hotel should have. Big thanks as always to Vedad, Burak and Ahmed. We also forgot the name of the man who cleans the 6th floor, all praise goes to him. A hotel that really deserves all the praise and one of our favorite hotels where we feel at home. See you soon inshAllah 🇹🇷🇧🇦

This was a great hotel. One of the best we have used in recent years. Staff were ever helpful and the level of English spoken amongst all staff was excellent.

Breakfast was really good and the hotel passed my long standing 'fresh orange juice' test! We had meals in both the ground floor lounge and the 10th floor restaurant and both we good but not remarkable. Price for wine is very steep.

The hotel is a bit isolated and not much can be done on foot but taxis are cheap and we picked the hotel as central to the activities we had planned.

We were unlucky to stay while very noisy work was being done on the first floor, but the hotel readily offered a room change and so inconvenience was limited (but it would have made sense not to put us so close to the work in the first place).

Traffic noise is acceptable for a city centre hotel.

We would definitely recommend the hotel and consider staying again.

The staff was very cordial and they went out of their way to help us. I booked a suite with a sofa bed and instead they gave us a suite with a sofa. I was told that since i booked a single perso'ns room that i could not get a sofa bed. I explained to the manager that i did call to make them aware of the change to 2 guests and i was not made aware that the rate would have been different long story short we were given a suite with a sofa bed. When we opened the sofa the mattress was a mess it was dirty and there was food behind and stucked in the mattress it was filthy not what i expected from a 5 star hotel horrible experience however housekeeping came right away and clened and vacuumed everything we went to bed at 3am after a 17 hor flight

I chose it because it’s a Swiss brand, expecting Swiss quality. But unfortunately it’s a big let down.
1 location: its far away from major attractions. The biggest problem is it’s on a major artery with heavy traffic. Implication: taxi drivers refuse to go its direction or would charge you 3-3x the usual fare. Eg. From holiday inn Old city to this Mövenpick it costed 600 lira = 20$. To give you an idea; from the airport to old city a journey of 67 km my fare was 900 = 30 $. Forget about public transit because you can’t have any information about the time schedule or where it goes as a tourist.
2. One of the reasons I chose Swiss Brand is for cleanness. Alas, I found rampant mold in the shower room.( see photos) in both the rooms I stayed. The room was a small definitely not the size they claim to be 20 m: 14 m² tops.(see photos for yourself.) there was no gym, no swimming pool, the kind of perks that you ‘s expect from a five-star hotel.
3. The property is right on a major heavy traffic street so the noise is a major issue. If you’re on the lower floor you won’t be able to sleep well.
Overall, it is an OK hotel but definitely not worth the number of the stars it claims.
I have stayed in many more than peak hotels this one is definitely not among the better ones.

Hotel is located in 15 minute drive from Sultanahmet (sometimes 25m with crazy traffic) but it goes along Kennedy street, with a fantasic sea view alongside the road. The valet and parking itself are FREE and it is handled by professionals, leaving you with no hassle at all. Guest relations manager, Zeynep, the reception staff, they are always there in case you need anything, service at this hotel is awesome. Definitely recommend to try their breakfast with a nice variety of food and once again, great service as they never leave someone unattended. The breakfast restaurant has a terrace for smokers, good option. Rooms are pretty clean, comfy and twin rooms (which we stayed in) has a nice view. Would definitely come back again!

Our room was super old for a 5 star hotel. The AC was not working so it got super hot at night. The bathroom faucet seemed to be broken and it wouldn’t turn off after multiple tries. Also, the chairs in our room had stains on it. We stayed there for a night so we did not contact guest services however this is not expected of a 5 star hotel given the high rates. The shuttle service provided by the hotel to site seeing is great but the shuttle driver dropped us off about 30 minutes away from the actual site and we struggled to find the area we were going to bc we were dropped off at a random street due to traffic in the area. I don’t think if I will ever return to the specific hotel due to my experience. Also, the hotel is pretty far from touristic sites so if you plan on doing more of touristy things I would encourage you to look at other hotels near Hagia Sophia/ blue mosque area as those are much better.

Also, they have a free shuttle 6 days a week, very nice and convenient if you want to go to Taksim Square or Eminou. I guess my only complaint is the hotel is slightly isolated. There aren't really any nearby stores or restaurants to walk to if you need something quick and the bus stop isn't super close. Fortunately, Uber is very reasonable in Istanbul.
