Our review
Overall ratingB
The InterContinental Istanbul is a classic five-star high-rise situated near Taksim Square, renowned for its sweeping Bosphorus views and exceptional Turkish hospitality. While guests consistently praise the attentive service and excellent dining, the hotel's overall appeal is currently hindered by dated guest rooms and ongoing renovation noise.
Best for
- Business travellers and IHG loyalists — The hotel is highly suited for corporate guests and loyalty members who value a strategic location near transport hubs and top-tier service.
- Scenic view enthusiasts — Guests seeking spectacular panoramas will appreciate the stunning Bosphorus views from the upper floors and the rooftop lounge.
Not ideal for
- Tech-focused travellers — Those who require modern in-room technology will find the unrenovated rooms frustrating due to a shortage of power outlets and lack of bedside USB ports.
- Smoke-sensitive guests — The presence of designated smoking floors means cigarette smoke occasionally drifts into adjacent rooms through the ventilation system.
Rating breakdown
- ALocation — Superbly positioned near Taksim Square and the metro, though the surrounding terrain is quite hilly.
- C+Rooms — Spacious with comfortable beds, but heavily dated with limited power outlets and old bathroom plumbing.
- AService — The hotel's strongest asset, featuring highly professional, attentive, and helpful staff.
- ADining — Excellent traditional Turkish breakfasts and a high-end rooftop restaurant, though drinks are very expensive.
- B+Facilities — Features a great outdoor pool, a well-equipped gym, and a spa, though hammam access requires a paid reservation.
- B-Value — While service and views are premium, the aged rooms and steep incidental costs impact overall value.
Verdict
Book this hotel if you prioritise top-tier service, excellent dining, and panoramic Bosphorus views in a central location. Avoid it for now if you require modern, tech-friendly room interiors or are highly sensitive to construction noise and tobacco smoke.
