Opera Hotel Istanbul

Magnificent rooms with Bosphorus views, very friendly staff, delicious breakfasts and TOP location. Chosen because of its proximity to the Tupras Stadium, only 7 minutes from the hotel. Came especially to the concert Scorpions🥰 but location in general mega convenient near Taksim and the waterfront, trams and subway❤️

Let's see. The hotel itself is not bad. But there are many things that no one mentions. First, it is not in a good location; you have to climb a huge slope!! From the tram. Or you are a 10-minute walk from Taksim. You have nothing around, no supermarket, no restaurants (only one with a Michelin star) below. The spa is unheard of. They do not even provide flip-flops to walk around there. The dressing room has air conditioning set to 10. The buffet is scarce, very Asian, and one day the milk was bad. Imagine drinking spoiled milk in Istanbul. The pool they advertise is sad, with neighbors on the balconies, and it does not get sunlight. You pay for it and the spa too, but they are worthless.

Opera hotel Bosphorus is a beautiful boutique hotel located near Taksim square and Kabatas making the entire city very accessible for public transport. It is located off road the tourist areas, and has a stunning view of the Bosphorus and the entrance of the Marmara sea. The rooms are very comfortable with excellent beds. Great breakfast and very friendly staff. Although not part of the hotel, the top floor accommodates and excellent Turkish kebab restaurant Mesai with equal stunning view.
