The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing views of Bosphorus. 5 star feel from start to finish. I chose Bosporus view and also got Kabatas stadium view as a bonus. All famous places quite next to us. Taksim square, dolmabace palace, Kabatas port for ferries and Nisantasi amongst many. Pool area and views from it were amazing. Loved it."
