We just returned from Istanbul and the lovely Bentley Hotel. We booked a corner room, which is a step up from the standard room, but a step down from their suites. It is basically an extra large room with floor to ceiling windows covering the whole corner (provided a ton of light). The room was very modern, very clean and... more

We stayed 3 nights to finish a weekly business trip in Turkey. We knew the location of the hotel was not within a touristic district but it is less than 15/20 min by taxi to the Blue Mosque, 5 mn to Dolmabaçe Palace, 15 mn from Ortakoy and 15 mn walk to Taksim Place. Rooms are stylish and quite big... more

I stayed at the Bentley as part of a business trip to Istanbul in September 2007, which covered 3 hotels over one week (due to logistical circumstances). Having started my Istanbul stay at the Ciragan Kempinski I expected quite a step down, but I was very positively surprised. I got upgraded to a suite, as the hotel was completely full.... more

The Bentley is not quite a 'design hotel' compared to other european hotels. Generally it was ok but the staff were not the most helpful. On our first day we had no running water (due to maintance of the pipes.) We were not informed of this at all dispite being told that they apparently phoned. We argued that they should... more

We recently returned from a two week trip to Istanbul for a week cruise on Windstar to Athens and feel we must advise other travelers to steer clear of the Bentley Hotel in Istanbul. Indifferent service from the moment we checked in! We had specifically reserved a non-smoking room which wasn't available, so they said, but they did have the... more

The hotel is situated about 10 minutes walk from Taksim Square. The rooms are a great size and as with the rest of the hotel very stylish and fitted out well. Unfortunately the staff did not live up to expecations. Our mini bar was not refilled, and we are meaning bottle water here! The restaurant they suggested on the first... more

Istanbul, to me, was a noisy, chaotic, cluttered, crowded place... what the tourist books would call "bustling." I have a low tolerance for all this hub-bub. Which made the Bentley my oasis.I arrived from the airport by taxi via a wild ride and trudged inside to the lobby via revolving glass doors, and as soon as I stepped in a... more

With the range of 'chain' hotels and three star tourist options on offer in Istanbul - I chose The Bentley in the hope that it would be a welcomed change. Although not a bad location - if you are looking for the main sights (Grand Bazaar, mosques etc...), it is not the best. I would say it is more of... more

I had read all the reviews of the Bentley before making the booking so i was a little wary of the place. It was however very nice. i've stayed at the Ritz, the Four Seasons etc. This place is more like a W hotel. the staff was always helpful, very nice and pleasant. rooms were spacious - we had a... more
