CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul

CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul

10/10 Excellent
"My wife and I stayed at CVK Park Bosphorus for the final night of our anniversary trip to Turkey, and it was the perfect ending. The location is excellent — right by Taksim with beautiful Bosphorus views, and an easy walk to Dolmabahçe Palace. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, and the staff were attentive throughout — they even responded to our pre-arrival email the same day with thoughtful anniversary suggestions. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and everything felt polished and well run. We only wish we could have stayed longer — highly recommended for a special occasion in Istanbul."

"Not providing much help on a confusion with the Expedia reservation. Also be aware of the offer of transport from the airports as their rate is double the standard. also, if you're using Expedia, and you get the 20% offer off spa and food, make sure they add it, because I had to request it at the end. it is a nice property. I'm just saying they were not very flexible."
