In general, a good hotel, although the hotel clearly does not reach the real five stars. The location is good: in the center of the modern part of European Istanbul, next to the metro. The rooms are nice and spacious, although many of them overlook the courtyard. We were unable to change just such a room to another with a normal window, despite persistent requests, due to the full workload of the hotel. The staff is friendly and tries to help. This help was constantly needed during the three days of stay: the TV does not work, then there is a lot of noise from the bathroom, then the hygienic shower does not work. All issues were resolved, but it would be better if they did not arise. I would especially like to mention the kind concierge who organized the transfer from the hotel to the airport very well
Interesting area, wonderful breakfast. I especially remember the honey in the honeycomb and the abundance of fruits.
A cozy and functional room. I recommend.
When ordering a taxi, always ask if they accept cards (if you pay with a card).
Nice hotel. Convenient location in the urban European part. The rooms are compact and clean. Cleaning every day. There were not enough bathrobes in the bathroom.
There is nowhere to eat at 22.00 near the hotel. But we didn't need to. On our next visit to Istanbul, we will stay at the same hotel.
We had a family vacation, we liked it.
+Normal gym,indoor pool,Jacuzzi,hammam,steam room,sauna (weak). There is a swimming pool outside, it was just cold. The breakfast is excellent. The location was convenient for us.
The metro is nearby and there is a stop. It was also cheap to take a taxi.
Opposite the entrance is a supermarket
- The Internet is weak, even very weak.
The key to the room and the same from the elevator are constantly working incorrectly.
This hotel interested me in terms of price/ quality ratio .
My score is a solid four.
Clean room , comfortable bed, 2 pillows, different in severity .
The quality of the pillows is at -3.
Breakfast / usual for 4-5* hotels, but don't expect anything more.
The waiters are not very quick to offer you tea or coffee.
I liked it - big and proper 👍 - hammam , SPA area, sauna .
We visited and had a great rest in the sauna every day .
The sun beds , unworthy of a 5* hotel , are already worn and worn .
The location of the hotel is at 4 .
In relatively close proximity to the hotel, there are both meat and fish restaurants ,
Conveniently located: 5 min walk from the metro (taxi is a problem in Istanbul), you can get to Taksim (Istiklal) and the historical part. Also in 2 minutes is the Dzhevankhir shopping center, where Zara, Mango, Adidas.... Etc. Convenient: I bought clothes and took them to the hotel)) Swimming pool (outdoor) The hotel is closed in May. There is a very large spa in the hotel, there are plenty of baths/saunas. The breakfasts are monotonous on the 2nd floor, the nicknames of the terraces. But in general, the norms, the business level is kept)
Surprisingly, there are few adequate reviews on Yandex about non-beach hotels abroad. The ones that are there - do not understand what they are about and, as if, not about this hotel at all. I hope mine will come in handy.

is an excellent location. 200m to the metro. There is 1 stop from Taksim. You can get anywhere to the center by metro, buses, and probably on foot. Next to the metro is the Jivanshir shopping center with a bunch of local and global middle-class shops, with an excellent food court, near a Starbucks. In the evenings, street musicians perform on the square in front of the shopping center. Opposite the hotel there is a very decent grocery store, a wonderful pastry shop and a souvenir shop are just a stone's throw away. There is a mosque nearby, but the sound insulation of the rooms with the windows closed protects those who wish from loud noises.
- very good breakfasts. A lot of fruits - cherries, strawberries, peaches, watermelons, etc. Freshly squeezed orange juice, good coffee, honey in sets, honey and jams in serving jars, a variety of cheeses and olives, a good selection of hot dishes. There is no interpretation, everything is decorous and elegant. There aren't many people at all, by the way.
- rooftop pool. This is Love. On hot summer days, after many hours of walking around Istanbul, it is priceless to plunge into the blue coolness of the pool in the evening! By the way, this is one of the reasons why I chose this particular hotel.
- the rooms are very spacious, we had 3 beds and there was still a lot of free space.
- I was very impressed with the bathroom, which includes the bathroom itself, a shower room and a toilet, fenced off by glass doors.
But there were some disadvantages, though minor ones)
"-"
- a deposit of $ 100 upon arrival "for a mini-bar". Unjustifiably - there's an entire mini-bar and it won't last for 30. It's inconvenient- I expected to spend the $100, but I brought it back. On the other hand, they will be safer.
- the windows of our room looked into the wall (with windows) of the neighboring building. So-so view. There is no balcony either.
- once they forgot to clean up, put on water and bring towels. On the call, everything was quickly fixed.
- a little taste - the hotel is gray-brown, cement-gloomy for my taste. But this is generally a small thing, we were not there.
Conclusions: the hotel is wonderful, definitely to go - large rooms, good food, convenient location, swimming pool! Of course, no one is begging for money, (as indeed nowhere else in Istanbul) And the rest is not a five, of course, but a very good 4!
A great hotel with good sound insulation and delicious breakfasts. For girls, there is a normal hair dryer in the bathroom with an ordinary cord and good power :)
No need to go to the gym, Turkish bath and pool, use your valuable time elsewhere, do not waste time with the employees in this department, do not be disgraced with your money in vain
I want to leave a review, since I booked a room on the hotel's website, I often use this grid, flew home with my daughter from Abu Dhabi, the room was rented for a day, rest between flights, went to read reviews already at the moment)) when I was driving from Istanbul airport, I read a lot and got upset, I already figured out where I would go if it was absolutely terrible here. In fact: the room is excellent, we really did not check in to the standard, but a little higher class, but we are happy with both the room and the staff, while we were checking in, our suitcases have already been lifted, the room is in good condition, all plumbing works perfectly, there is both a shower and a bathroom. Just opened the suitcases to change, the room service knocks, brought a compliment - a bottle of wine, fruit and a postcard. After 3 hours, the reception called, asked if everything was fine or if we needed help, in general, gentlemen, I don't know why my predecessors were not happy, I am happy with the hotel and 100% I can recommend it to everyone, just in case number 618.
Good evening! Based on reviews on the Internet and ratings on various sites (including booking and trip advisor), we chose the Radisson Blu Hotel Sisli 5* with a price per night of more than 10 thousand for a standard room.
After checking into the room, the first thing we did was wash our hands, and there someone else's hair and the remains of someone's mascara smeared on the countertop by the sink flaunt on the sink. The bathroom is a tub (sorry, but there are no other words to choose). They asked for a replacement room and moved it. To be honest, I have not even seen such tin in lower-class hotels: bed linen with stains and hair, dried dirt everywhere, shabby furniture, scratched walls and the cherry on the cake is the shower... It's not like washing there, it's scary to go there, the walls and plumbing are covered in lime and rust... The audibility in the room is as if the guests are lying next to each other on a pillow. If one day fate brings you to Istanbul, I advise you to avoid this hotel... 5 stars have clearly been here for a long time and now it is far from true.
A good hotel, lived in business, the staff is friendly and helpful, the breakfasts are even too great...)unfortunately, we didn't get to lunch, the location is great, the whole infrastructure is nearby,
This hotel chain takes an advance payment, but does not provide seats. I arrived at the hotel for which I paid an advance payment (588 Turkish lira, which is 6800₽), and they said seats. The question is, why did he pay? They were sent to another hotel in this chain. They asked me to pay for the room in full. And as for the prepayment, it's not for them. Another hotel where I booked in advance promised to return the money in 3-5 days, but a month has passed and there is no money. The hotel "feeds breakfast" that will return, you just have to wait. In short, I feel abandoned. I do not recommend giving this network money in advance, as this is not a guarantee of booking places. They will simply send you to another hotel, and in a new hotel they will demand the FULL amount. Give it away upon availability!!! The hotel itself is really good. 5 out of 5 would have been if they hadn't tipped over with the deposit. Be happy. Don't let yourself be fooled. Have a nice day.
Breakfast at the hotel is very limited, there seems to be a lot of things, but in fact there is nothing to eat. There are no Turkish sweets, it seems that you are not in Turkey, but in some other country.
