Find hotels near Riva Castle, Istanbul from AED 204

"The location, the cleanliness and the staff were all great (Gorkem Mecit at the front desk was super helpful). Overall a great experience. Now on the negatives: I had higher expectations for their breakfast, and unfortunately, the food quality and taste didn't meet. Their gym is also underground and extremely musty. Decided not to work out after seeing it. "

"A perfect stay"

"Excellent. Would stay here again!"

"I stayed here twice - in September 2025 and again in May 2026 - and both stays were excellent. The staff are warm and professional, and the location is good for sightseeing by taxi, though less ideal for walking since the hotel sits on a hill. Nişantaşı is about 15 minutes away on foot, Dolmabahçe Palace around 10 minutes downhill, and Taksim Square roughly 15 minutes away. The hotel itself is fantastic, with a huge lobby, luxury boutiques, and one of the best Bosphorus views in Istanbul - especially from 16 Roof (reservations recommended). My suite was very large, with a dining table, several sofas and armchairs, and two bathrooms. Water pressure was excellent. Suite guests get Executive Lounge access, including breakfast, so there’s no need to pay extra for a breakfast package. The lounge breakfast is decent but somewhat limited by Turkish luxury-hotel standards. Breakfast in the main restaurant, however, is truly excellent and much more extensive. The hotel also has a very good gym plus indoor and outdoor pools. Very little to complain about. If I had to nitpick, the bathrooms lack a bidet, which feels surprising at this level of luxury. Also, outside breakfast and happy hour, the lounge offers relatively limited snacks and drinks. Overall, this is an outstanding five-star hotel and one of the best luxury-value options in Istanbul. Even as a long-time Marriott Bonvoy Ambassador/Titanium member, I would happily stay here again over many Marriott properties in the city."

"Our reservation was for a double room with Bosphorus view, for my surprise they upgraded my room for a suite with a king and bed room, a balcony with a beautiful view of the Bosphorus. The staff were so friendly. The location is a little bit far from the interesting points to visit so I recommend to use public transportation which is very easy and economic service. I recommend the hotel is you want luxury hotel with beautiful views, this is for you. "

"Since we arrived staff and property was ave and I will come back again our room view was spectacular and food was excellent. Spa facilities are top notch"

"Very clean and good location, near bus and metro and taksim square. Hotel was clean and staff were friendly. Spend 8 nights there with out issues"

"Friendly helpful staff"

"Room was very spacious, and ultra clean! A/C worked well, and it was very easy to maintain a perfect room temperature. Never met a staff member who wasn't smiling. Morning breakfast buffet was an abundance of riches! (I won't dare tell how much weight I gained!) Highly recommend this hotel."
