Top Cagaloglu Hotel Reviews

Demiray Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"Super friendly and helpful staff, room and generally around the hotel nice and clean. Great view from the restaurant. I wouldn't say this felt like a 5* hotel, maybe a 4* and location made it difficult to get cabs."

The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed for two nights in June 2026 and had a great stay at the Ritz. It’s in a really convenient location - the major sights are just a short cab ride away, and there’s a ferry landing that’s a short walk away if you want to explore the Asian side of Istanbul. The staff were very friendly and helpful - they helped us with dinner reservations, directions, booking tours, etc. Although I didn’t go, my husband enjoyed the Turkish bath/sauna at the spa/fitness center. Lastly, I’d recommend getting the Club Room access - we stopped by multiple times to refuel (snacks, breakfast, drinks, etc). The noise from the nearby stadium during a concert didn’t bother me, although traffic around the hotel was greatly impacted - that’s the only thing I’d keep in mind! Would definitely stay there again."

Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"First class hotel. Stayed 2 days and could have stayed longer. The rooms are 5 star, spotless and the staff maintained this at a very high level. The reception staff made our visit very easy . And the breakfast buffet is exceptionally good. Azize in reception and Kerem in dining room and Sergen were wonderful and thank you for a lovely experience. Well done to the Management here. This is a very well run hotel! Thank you !"

The Wings Hotels Pera

10/10 Excellent

"The support team at The Wings Hotel Pera were so kind and helpful during our 8-day stay: Fatih Hocalar at breakfast was extremely friendly, our housekeeper, Fatos kept our room spotless. And Bharat the porter was helpful and spoke excellent English. The hotel itself is a very nice, boutique style hotel. It’s located one street away from the main shopping area and is surrounded by hundreds of restaurants. In short, a good location in the new town - it felt very local and safe. Our room - a premium delux - was very comfortable and big enough for a sofa bed for the third person. Located at the front of the hotel, it was quite noisy at night - the restaurant opposite had live music, there’s a bar outside and traffic is noisy. Given it’s a city centre hotel, there’s no outside space (other than a small smoking area on the street at the front. Breakfast (accessed by a lift which goes to every floor) is on the top floor with lovely views. It’s a Turkish breakfast served on a platter with multiple small dishes of olives, cheese, meats, honey, etc - very nice and good quality but for an extended stay became repetitive. There’s lots of practical things like kettle, fridge, safe, water, coffee and nice touches like dressing gowns. It all felt sophisticated and I would recommend this hotel."
