I've stayed at this hotel 6 times since 2003, the most recent stay being in May 2013. Ten years ago, a room averaged $100 a night and the hotel was in better shape. Ironically, they're charging way more nowadays for dated rooms. We booked a park view room because, from experience, I knew that even park view rooms have a... More

Gentile stuff, very high quality rooms and services. My only problem was when I couldn't open my room with the key, so I needed to call the reception and waited for a while. The fitness center was very good and I think all one normal sporty could need.

We spent three nights in two connecting rooms with our two kids. The hotel is well located and well equipped although needing some renovation. The staff is very friendly and service is very good. Breakfast is generous and the concierge very helpful. We have enjoyed our stay at this hotel..

My partner and I took a short break to Istanbul. We did not want to stay in the old city. The hotels were charming but the potential for noise until 5am put me off. We were there for a break and rest. We took a stab at the Swissotel. There were a few negative comments on various sites but we... More

This hotel meets all expectations of a 5 star hotel, and of what you're paying for per night! The staff are very informative about all the activities and tours you can do, the rooms and comodities are certainly up there, and the views are great. We unfortunately got a garden view, not the lake view. But this was a misunderstanding... More

We stayed at Swissotel on our wedding day. After such a stressfull and exhausing week, it was the perfect end to our happiest day. We were welcomed by the friendliest stuff and were taken to our room. The management was so kind that they upgraded us to honeymoon suit and even arranged us to have late late check-out. Hotel is...

Attended as a member of a business group but I would love to visit again with family without the craze of business meetings and deadlines. Incredible facility, fantastic service. Meals and presentation were very good. What views!
