CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul

From the minute you arrive at CVK, you are immersed in sophistication and luxury. The hotel does not seem like a family-friendly hotel, with kids running around, people bustling in and out, and a 'warm' ambiance. Rather, it is sophisticated, classy, and has more of a professional atmosphere. The entire hotel is beautiful, and our room was plush, comfortable, clean, neat, luxurious, and spacious, and the housekeeping staff and other room attendants provided us with excellent service. The bed was so big and after my long days of walking and exploring the city of Istanbul, I would have the best sleep in the bed! Breakfast was included in the stay, and I enjoyed the food. There was lots to eat and drink, and I loved the Turkish teas. The location is fantastic, right outside the bus stop, for anyone wanting to use the public busses. It was also a close walk to the train station at Taksim Square. A simple 'Istanbul Card' gives you access to all public transport in Istanbul, and the public transport system works well, but it does get busy. I liked that it was fairly safe to use. There are also so many taxis outside the hotel, so traveling is very easy. The famous Istiklal Street, near Taksim Square, is literally a few mins away from the hotel, so entertainment and dining options are not a problem. From Istiklal Street, if you continue walking down, you can also get to Galata Tower. A short taxi ride is also a good idea to get to Galata Tower. The hotel is close to the famous Dolmabahçe Palace, and it's easy to get to all other popular places as well, like Ortakoy, NIŞANTAŞI, Balat, and the SultanAhmet area. My experience is that staying in Taksim and surrounding areas is better, as the hotels are newer and more modern than the older ones on the SultanAhmet side. However, it's a personal preference. For me, CVK was in the perfect location to enable us to stay in luxury whilst still traveling all over the city to experience the different areas, restaurants, and activities. Our return flight was very late, and the hotel allowed us a late checkout , and even after checking out, they stored our luggage and gave us access to the lounge, so that we could rest, use the bathroom, and eat, while waiting for the airport shuttle. Overall, I would definitely recommend the hotel and can not wait to visit again.

The hotel location is great and the staff in general were nice and friendly. The room furniture is good. My booking included breakfast and the restaurant were very nice and beautiful and the food was delicious and it has a partial view to the Bosphorus. Finaallly i specialy would like to thank the restaurant team for their very nice and friendly behaviour ( metehan, umuf, elifnur, leyla and gegum) specially metehan has treated us very very nice and like i was his own friend.

Close to Taksim square, with a beautiful lobby. My room (1776) was Bosphorus view but had a few obstacles, I don’t know if the rest were better. Concierge service was very helpful.

From the moment we entered the hotel, the welcome and attention of Mr. Salih at the reception and the cleanliness of the rooms made us feel at home. They did everything to make us comfortable during our family stay. I would recommend it to everyone.

First time staying here at this beautiful hotel, the service has been high quality, and everyone is very very friendly! Loved coming here and going to their restaurant on the top floor, the view is to die for! Highly recommend staying at this hotel during your stay in Istanbul. You are also in a good location for some shopping around
