Istanbul Beach Hotels

First and foremost, as I always say, rather than focusing on a hotel's food or sea view, I prioritize the quality of its staff – that's my most important criterion. At this hotel, from the General Manager Uğur Talay to all the employees, every single person truly deserves the word 'excellent'. I even made a point of noting down names: Aysel from reception, Öznur, İlayda, and İrem from the SPA department, and Öznur again [presumably another person named Öznur or a typo].

A quiet place by the river in the middle of flowers and trees. The wooden mainhouse is as cosy in Summer as it might be in Winter, adorned with a majestic and well worn stone chimney. The garden and deck over the water create an intimate setting with the wonderful Ağva area, between river, forests and the black sea. The staff is friendly and attentive and the service was on point. The food offering covers Turkish basics and they are tasty and plentiful, some western staples are on offer too. The rooms are comfortable enough and each bungalow is hidden in the beautiful garden vegetation, one is even surprised so many rooms can feel so secret in such a small setting. The çay samovar sits by the quiet waterway and is enjoyable all day long with the lazy sway of reeds ruffled by the wind off the sea. Overall a fantastic stay.

Amazing hotel, amazing services and with amazing view. They found us we were family they gave us their suites even though we booked normal rooms with sea view. Everything was provided with really nice staff members that always were helpful and ready to help us and our family if we needed. And to not forget really close to many tourist attraction spots only in 10 minutes walk and between really nice alley roads.

I stumbled upon this hotel in what they call their 'Asian district,' and for the same quality, hotels across the river would cost a lot more. The public transport options around here are excellent — light rail, buses, ferries, and the subway are all very convenient. It's a great choice, especially since we booked a sea-view room. The ocean view is absolutely stunning; you just want to take pictures every time you look up. It would be perfect if the hotel windows were a bit cleaner, but otherwise, it's wonderful, and there are plenty of dining options nearby too.

Location 10/10. The staff, Muhammad and Nargis, were the best, and there was another guy whose name I don't know. Everyone helped as much as they could 🫠. The room was clean; towels and bedding were sufficiently provided on the first day. Liquid soap, shampoo – everything as booked. Thank you.

The view from our room was beautiful. We found the shampoo and soap in the bathroom to be overly scented and did not like them. The room was clean, and the hotel was easy to access. However, the sign indicating the entrance to the hotel from the parking area could be more visible.

Overall, it was good. We arrived at 12 PM and had to wait for our room. The front desk struggled with the credit card machine; it kept failing. I suspect they were trying to process my VISA card using the UnionPay option. No wonder all my other purchases outside the hotel went through without a hitch, but it wouldn't work once I got to their hotel!

The hotel's location is great, and the sea view is beautiful. This is my second time staying here. There are many local restaurants nearby, and the people are very friendly. The only downside is Istanbul's terrible traffic.

A great hotel that I can warmly recommend. The breakfast was incredibly good. The facilities met my expectations. The pool was a decent size and was cleaned regularly. I enjoyed visiting the sauna in the late afternoon, followed by a walk along the sea and exploring the nearby restaurants.

The location, cleanliness, and breakfast were excellent. Although I mentioned a problem with the shower head when I checked in, this problem was not resolved. Such problems can occur in any business. A faster response would be great.
