Bebek Hotel By The Stay

The hotel has one of the best locations in Istanbul with stunning sea views — that’s truly the highlight of the stay. The room was clean, stylish, and comfortable despite being compact.

However, service is very poor and not what you would expect from such an expensive boutique hotel. It’s difficult to find anyone to assist you, and it’s not even clear who works there — no uniforms, no name tags, and the reception area is often empty. There’s no sense of concierge or hospitality service.

If you’re visiting mainly for the location and the amazing Bosphorus view, it’s definitely worth it. But if you expect warm service, luxury treatment, or professional hotel staff, this is not the right place.

There are nearby restaurants that are very trendy with great atmosphere and always deliver good food and service. The room was very clean and had a great view of the sea. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The balcony was a great feature.

This place was one of the best hotel rooms I have stayed in. Great view of the water from our balcony. Room was clean and modern bathroom. Hotel staff let us check in early which was great after a late night flight. Highly recommend. Staff was very nice.

It was not a good experience at all. There was a very loud disco on the rooftop and the earliest it ended was midnight and the latest was 3 am. We paid top dollar for the penthouse and we were absolutely miserable. We left a day early and went to another hotel. This was an awful uncomfortable experience . The only nice thing was that there was a pretty view from our balcony but it was definitely NOT worth it.

We recently stayed at this hotel, and it was an amazing experience overall. The location is perfect, and the view from the sea view suite is breathtaking, especially from the small balcony that makes you feel like you’re right inside the sea. The reception and housekeeping staff were friendly and helpful, as were the waitresses.

The food and drinks were enjoyable, and room service was efficient. However, we did face one issue with the hosts at both the restaurant downstairs and the rooftop. Their attitude made us feel like they were doing us a favor by seating us, which was disappointing. Aside from that, our stay was great, and we would recommend the hotel for its stunning views.

The property is in an old building but refurbished, rooms adorable, toiletry smells delicious, complementary fruit bowl, and lots of bottled water and nesspreso/tea. The area is fancy and the people attending the bar and restaurant are pretty people. Staff could be nicer & of service for the price you are paying, seems like they are tired or mad. I booked through expedia and since I am a Gold member, I could have an upgrade if available. It was available but they wanted to charge me 150€ per night for upgrade (i stayed 3 nights), the offer in internet was also stay 3 nights in Bebek and get complementary massage in Nisantasi, but it wasn’t respected either. They ended up saying I needed to stay in Nisantasi. Restaurant, waiters could be more attentive & better attitude: 40usd for Caesar salad with chicken & Pellergrino. Bar (roof top) great DJS, great music, beautiful view of the Bosphorus, upscale visitors & celebrities, waiters attentive if not too crowded, otherwise if your not a regular, you will be served last. So I am giving 4 stars even though I could have give them 3, but since it was fancy, pretty rooms, and great location, I give 4.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Bebek Hotel by the Bosphore in Istanbul and I cannot speak highly enough of my experience. The staff at this hotel were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure that my stay was enjoyable.
From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The staff at the front desk were attentive and accommodating, providing me with all the information and assistance I needed. They were always ready with suggestions of places to visit and dine, ensuring that I made the most of my time in Istanbul.
The hotel itself was beautiful and clean, with comfortable rooms and stunning views of the Bosphorus. The amenities provided were top-notch, making my stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. The attention to detail in every aspect of the hotel's design and services was truly impressive.
What really set The Bosphorous apart from other hotels I've stayed at was the helpfulness of the staff. They made every effort to ensure that my needs were met and exceeded my expectations. Whether it was arranging transportation, making reservations, or simply answering my questions, they were always there with a smile and willingness to assist.
I cannot thank the staff at The Bosphorous enough for their exceptional service. They truly made my stay in Istanbul memorable and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area. If you are looking for a hotel with helpful staff, stunning views, and a comfortable ambiance, The

Got a partial water view suite and was given a full city view with a view that was barely looking at the water.

The windows completely brought the sound in from the street with cars, ppl yelling and busy traffic.

The room bed was facing the apartments across the room in which everyone was looking in as the curtains were transparent.

The tv placement in room was weird as you couldn’t watch tv from the bed.

Finally, the worst and most disappointing was when I arrived back into the hotel from dinner at 11:30.

I went out to the back deck / restaurant in which was 1/4 full.

The guy running the back even after asking for a seat by the water. Which was completely open, made me sit on the wall. Completely far away. Which made me get up and leave.

This was a Tuesday night at 11:30. The individual was very disrespectful and pretty much triggered me to completely give an honest review about the rest of my stay.

The best part of the trip was the nicely built and designed rooftop. That is all.

I will most likely not be staying here again. It is not worth the price being charged.

Hotel is great. I had problem with the restaurant! Reservation was very difficult to impossible. We hardly found a spot at the bar. While we were there about an hour or so there were many tables empty. It was very disappointing. The food at the restaurant is not the best at all. People are going there for the place. I think they are trying to make the place more demanding by making it impossible to make reservation.

Excellent location, views and decoration. Expect to have some noise though as there is a restaurant downstairs and bars nearby so there will be some noise until midnight but it is not disturbing. There is also a mosque and that's a bit of a different story with the morning prayer at 5am. You can have a nice walk next to the sea and the hotel restaurant is very good.

I didn’t really understand that the reason that this is an adult-only hotel is because it is a club with loud music and partying until very late.
The water in the bathroom sink wasn’t running. Apparently a pipe was broken somewhere.
The main room light flickers so badly that it isn’t usable.
Most of the staff weren’t wearing masks at all.
And the reception woke me up at 2 am to tell me that my syringes had been delivered. I hadn’t ordered any syringes so I didn’t know what that was about.

I've never had a room with so stunning a balcony view before. 206 I believe it was (could be wrong here). In any event, it was heaven. The staff goes above and beyond (especially Simi at the front desk; he made things happen). I would have liked a gym, and they don't have one, but no big deal. The room could use a *tad* updating (specifically the naugahyde club char), but I'm really being picky with those comments. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Klima inanılmaz gürültülü çalışıyor; 1052 numaralı odada konakladım, boğazı görüyor doğru ama önce camın önündeki korkunç yeşil plastik çim peyzaja ve çiçeklere katlanmak zorundasınız. Çay bahçesi kıvamında görüntü için bu fikri düşünen ve uygulayanlara teşekkürü borç bilirim.
Ayrıca konakladığım gece otelde bir event vardı ve odamıza çıkmak için 10 kişi tarafından durdurulduk ve odamıza çıkacağımızı açıklamak zorunda kaldık; son derece saygısızlar otele girince önünüze atlayan bir kadın terasta event var özel davetli diye bağırıyor, ayrı bir komedi; o paraya hem ruhunuza hem bedeninize iyi gelecek tonlarca seçenek var.

Cet hôtel n’est pas un hôtel.

Cet hôtel n’est pas un hôtel.

C’est un club (avec de la musique sympa) pour la jeunesse dorée et où les clients peuvent dormir sur place à la fin de la soirée. Vers 2 ou 3 heures du matin.

Malheureusement pour les clients normaux (businessman, touristes etc) il n’est pas possible de dormir avant 3h du matin même fenêtre fermée. L’isolation phonique est faible. Sinon la vue des chambres est exceptionnelle . Le service de l’hôtel est attentionné.

À noter que le service côté restaurant est séparé de l’hôtel. Être un résident ne vous garantie pas une table sur l’eau qui sont systématiquement réservées. Elles sont d’ailleurs restées vides les deux fois où nous avons dîner ou déjeuner avec ma femme.
