Convenient, nice and safe location

The staff were very friendly and welcoming. This hotel location is convenient to the water and the area historical sites. The tram is about a 5 minute walk that takes you anywhere a tourist would need to go.

Worst stay ever. This is not a JW Marriott. They don’t deserve that title. 100 reasons never to stay at this hotel—too many to list. Heaters didn’t work, no hot water, construction early AMs even on sundays making it difficult to sleep, dark closets, minimal hanger space, tiny rooms, worst dry cleaning service ever but they charge 15 Euros for a shirt, etc… and when u complain, all they say is ur right and it stops there…I cancelled all of my future stays for business w this hotel.

Perfect location for sightseeing, you can walk to all major attractions (Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazzar, spice market) or take the tram which is one block from the hotel and is very easy. The staff at the hotel are great particularly at the restaurants.

Property is located in a wonderful area. It's across the street from a wide and scenic broad walk along the Bosphorus with many casual restaurants to choose from. There is a high-end Turkish designers' shopping center right across the street and in front of the hotel. Peninsula hotel is across the street for formal dining. Galata tower, Istiqlal street and charming old neighborhoods are 15-minute walk and historic sites on the European side are 15-minute taxi ride. Property is in a good condition, new and clean. We had the Bosphorus view one bedroom suit that was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. There are 2 restaurant and one cafe inside the hotel. Spa is very nice. Service is excellent 10/10. Anytime we called for something, it was brought right at our door in less than 5 minutes. I have traveled a lot and have to say this was so extra ordinary. Hotel staff are generally very helpful and courteous. Front desk and Concierge staff were super kind, polite and always went out of their way to help. I really recommend staying at this hotel.

My stay at JW Marriott Bosphorus Istanbul was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Lara and Semih at check-in, who ensured a seamless and pleasant start to my experience. Their professionalism and hospitality set the tone for a fantastic stay. A big thank you to Rabia and Lara for recommending the spacious room with a stunning view and balcony—it was absolutely worth it! Waking up to the breathtaking Bosphorus each morning was an unforgettable highlight. The rooftop restaurant team truly made my stay extra special. A heartfelt shoutout to Serkan, Eyüp, Semih, Kenan, Elif, and manager Mehmet for their incredible service, warm conversations, and making every meal a delightful experience. The ambiance, food, and hospitality on the rooftop were simply unmatched! Check-out was equally smooth, thanks to Tufan, Firat, Borat, and Semih, who ensured everything was handled efficiently with great care. Their attentiveness and friendly demeanor made leaving this beautiful hotel even harder! Overall, JW Marriott Bosphorus Istanbul exceeded all expectations with its outstanding service, impeccable staff, and luxurious accommodations. I can't wait to return and experience this level of hospitality again. Thank you to everyone who made my stay so memorable! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
