伊斯坦堡蘇荷飯店(Soho House Istanbul)

This didn’t feel like a 5 star service, very slow, nothing special, room service was limited and overpriced for the experience I wouldn’t stay here again.

It was an amazing experience to get married there and spend the night. The rooms are excellent. It’s an old American embassy historic building renovated smartly. The service is spot on. I’d definitely recommend to stay there if you want to spend your vacation at the heart of the European side of Istanbul.

Greeting by friendly receptionist. The room was stunning and clean.

Our 'comfort' room was depressingly dark. At basement level with an outside space covered by a tree. The table and chairs constantly covered in dead leaves. I needed to use my phone torch to find the room in the barely-lit corridor. Even with all the lights on during the day it was dark and miserable. The room was well equipped with toiletries (which they kept telling us we mustn't take) such that there was no room in the shower room to put any of our own products. There is no relaxing space to escape the darkness (like a pool) although the members club next door was a redeeming feature. We had a very nice lunch there. However Cecconi's wine prices are off the scale. The cheapest red is a cheap Pata Negra charged at over ,£50 with their discretionary service charge. We were told it was because of Turkish tax but even the Kempinski charges significantly less for better quality wines. To cap it all when they arranged our taxi they said the driver insisted on a fixed rate rather than meter which turned out to be almost double the 'real fare'. The taxi driver told us the hotel told him to charge a fixed rate!
