Independent - accommodation in Rumeli Hisari

We went to Istanbul for a family holiday with our 2 not-so young sons. We booked a superior family room - essentially 2 separate bedrroms (each with bathroom) but commected within a unit. Ideal! The rooms were super clean and the bathrooms were even cleaner, with top notch fittings. We loved the hotel, both for its location (walked everywhere!), near all the historic sights and next to a tram stop too; and the amazing staff. They reached out immediately after we booked to offer help. We cannot praise Burhan, Halil, Shams and Mohamed enough - they were so friendly and helped us arrange a tour of Istanbul - we really appreciated their honest advice. They even gave us their Istanbul travel cards we could top up and use during our stay. Definitely recommend that the hotel organise the airport pickup and drop off - we had a top notch luxury limovan pick us up - ideal when you read about the crazy taxi problems there can be in Istanbul. Little else to add except that we will definitely be back at the Carina Gold!!

InterContinental Istanbul – Where Elegance Meets Unforgettable Views My experience at InterContinental Istanbul was exceptional from start to finish. Perfectly located near Taksim Square, the hotel offers sweeping views of the Bosphorus and the city skyline—especially stunning at sunrise and sunset. The rooms are spacious, elegant, and comfortable, with every detail thoughtfully arranged. The staff were professional, kind, and always ready to assist with a smile, making the entire stay smooth and enjoyable. Breakfast was a true highlight—fresh, diverse, and delicious, with both local flavors and international favorites. Whether you’re in Istanbul for business or leisure, InterContinental blends luxury with warm hospitality in the heart of this vibrant city. A stay that’s both restful and inspiring—I’d return in a heartbeat.

Great facility, elegant
