The tour used this hotel during the trip. It was about a 5 minute walk to the beach. The wifi does not work in the hotel. I would rate it a 2 star. If you are on a tour then it is ok.. but if you are going on your own choose something else.

The hotel facilities are excellent, the location is good but can be a little noisy if you on the city side. Unfortunately for us we found the service to be sadly lacking. Particularly, the night manager who appeared to be reluctant to help with any of our requests. When we asked for tea bags (which housekeeping hadn't replenished) he told... More

I am in Istanbul for business but have the weekend as well for some sight-seeing. I lucked out with this hotel. It's situated such that I could easily get to business meetings by taxi and yet could also easily walk around the very cool Istiklal Street area and to the Old Town. On Saturday I walked to the Old Town... More

we stayed for 5 nights at the hotel in a wonderfull suite overlooking the bosforos. location- great right on istaklal street. breakfast- superb! staff- very polite and attentive. will recomend to all my freinds.

rooftop restaurant earn high score.This is perfect place to have a small escape from the street food. This is a strange mix of food that has no any turkish foundation, but has good taste. 3 and half stars. (PS:, restaurant does not have any connectinon with hotel except that they are at same place) PPS Some waiters communicate with us... More

Very good location. Very good rooms. Very good staff. Satisfactory breakfast. If you don't like noise, you should order rooms without window on the street. It's very noisy street :) It will be good for business trip.

We are very happy with Richmond Hotel in more than one stay. The location is amazing. Right in the middle of everything yet very calm and quite inside the hotel. easy access to a street and cab and metro without getting into the chaos of Taksim. Very close to cool bars, cafes and restaurant and ofcourse shopping all around. The... More

Situated high on the hill in the Byoglu area, this hotel is a great place to base yourself for touring all parts of the city. It is walking distance from the almost-funicular subway (the Tunel) that takes you down to the bridge connecting you with the Sultanahmet historic area. We had a Bosphorous view room on the 4th floor and... More

We stayed over a long weekend. The location is perfect for people who like the bustling athmosphere of modern Istanbul. The classic sightseeings are more on the other side of the Galata bridge. But there is a tunnel-railway from that bridge right to the hotel. The staff is fairly knowledgable about tourist information and very helpful otherwise. Our room was... More
