5.2/10

I stayed at the Opera Hotel Bosphorus for three nights, and while the location provided stunning views of the Bosphorus, my experience was marred by the service quality. The hotel has a stylish design that hints at luxury, but I found many aspects lacking-especially the attention from the staff and the upkeep of certain facilities. Overall, the hotel offers a beautiful setting but needs significant improvements in service and maintenance to match its potential.

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in was spacious with a lovely marble bathroom and a decent side view of the Bosphorus. However, the lighting was insufficient, and the TV malfunctioned, requiring technician attention.

Service

6.0

Service was inconsistent and often uninterested. Requests took longer than expected, and the overall demeanor of the staff did not meet the standards I anticipated from a high-end hotel.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location on a steep hill offers panoramic views over the Bosphorus and is just a short walk from Taksim Square, which is great for accessing public transport.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast offered a good variety of food with beautiful views, but the service felt rushed and unfriendly. The coffee was subpar unless you opted for the extra charge Turkish coffee.

Facilities

5.0

Facilities like the spa and pool area were decent, though the outdoor pool could use better maintenance and cleanliness. The sauna was a nice touch, but the attitude of the staff left much to be desired.

My stay at Opera Hotel Bosphorus was somewhat mixed. While the location near Taksim Square and views of the Bosphorus were stunning, some aspects of the hotel, such as the cleanliness and dining experience, could certainly use improvement. The breakfast was genuinely enjoyable, offering good variety, though I did encounter some service issues during my stay.

Rooms

6.0

The room had a stylish design, but I noticed some cleanliness issues, like stains on the table and mishaps with soap and shampoo not being replenished. The view of the Bosphorus was impressive, which helped compensate for the room's shortcomings.

Service

5.0

The front desk staff were welcoming and friendly, especially during check-in. However, I found that the service in the restaurant and spa was lacking, with long waits and inattentiveness that left something to be desired.

Location

8.0

The hotel is strategically located just a short walk from Taksim Square, which made exploring the area convenient. Despite being in a bustling neighborhood, I didn't find it too noisy, especially from the rooms with a sea view.

Dining

6.0

While the rooftop restaurant offered fantastic views over the Bosphorus, the food quality didn't live up to the pricing, and my experiences with the service there were disappointing. Breakfast was a highlight, with a variety of tasty options.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel provided a decent range of amenities, including a gym and spa. However, the gym staff could have been more attentive, and I felt the pool area could be more inviting.

My stay at Opera Hotel Bosphorus was a mix of great moments and frustrating ones. The stylish decor and the stunning views over the Bosphorus were definite highlights. However, I struggled with inconsistent service, especially during breakfast and at the reception, which left a lot to be desired.

Rooms

7.0

My room on the 5th floor had a lovely partial view of the Bosphorus. It was spacious and well-furnished, although I found the lighting somewhat inadequate for evening use. The air conditioning worked well, and the marble bathroom was elegant, but some aspects felt rushed in terms of finishing touches.

Service

5.0

The service was inconsistent. While some staff members were friendly, I often felt ignored, especially during breakfast, where asking for coffee seemed to be a burden. Communication about issues was inadequate; for instance, despite reporting a toilet problem multiple times, it was never resolved properly, which was quite disappointing.

Location

8.0

The hotel is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Taksim Square, which made accessing public transport easy. However, reaching it involves a steep incline, so it may not be ideal for everyone, especially in the heat.

Dining

7.0

Breakfast was ample with a good selection, though it leaned heavily towards Turkish cuisine. The rooftop terrace where breakfast is served provides amazing views, making it a lovely place to start the day.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel features appealing communal areas and a nice spa, though I found the pool too cold for comfort. The gym was well-equipped, and the overall cleanliness of the hotel met my expectations.

My stay at Opera Hotel Bosphorus had its highs and lows. The amazing views from my room and the rooftop restaurant were truly amazing, but I faced several issues with the service and amenities. While the location was convenient for exploring Taksim, I found the overall experience lacking in some areas. 🌅

Rooms

6.0

The room I stayed in had a beautiful Bosphorus view, but the air conditioning was unreliable, making it uncomfortable at times. Also, there was a lingering smell that was quite off-putting.

My stay at Opera Hotel Bosphorus was a mix of luxury and disappointment. While the hotel boasts beautiful views of the Bosphorus, and the rooms are stylishly designed, I encountered significant issues with service. Despite a well-equipped fitness center and a decent breakfast, the overall service experience was underwhelming and at times frustrating.

Rooms

6.0

The rooms are elegantly designed and well-furnished, but certain details like lighting and maintenance could use improvement. My standard room had a lovely side view of the Bosphorus, yet the lighting was inadequate at night. Additionally, I found issues with the TV and the cleanliness of some items, such as towels which I felt were only changed on request.

Service

5.0

Unfortunately, the service did not meet the expectations set by the hotel's aspirations for five-star excellence. Staff often seemed indifferent to guest needs, with basic requests taking too long to address. For instance, I had ongoing issues with a toilet that never seemed properly fixed, which was quite frustrating.

Location

8.0

Situated conveniently near Taksim Square, the location allows easy access to public transport, which is a great advantage. However, reaching the hotel from the tram station can be quite a workout due to the steep hill where the hotel is located.

Dining

6.0

Breakfast offered a nice selection of pastries and the chance to enjoy the view from the terrace, though I was disappointed that Turkish coffee was not part of the complimentary service. Overall, the dining experience could be greatly enhanced with better service.

Facilities

7.0

The hotel features a decent fitness center and a pool, which appreciated after a long day. However, the sauna and spa could benefit from more attentive care and maintenance to enhance the guest experience.
