I had a nice stay at the Mövenpick Hotel Istanbul Bosphorus, with impressive staff and lovely views, but some room issues slightly dampened my experience. The rooftop restaurant was a highlight for its great ambiance. However, the breakfast variety left something to be desired on freshness, as some options felt pre-prepared. The location was a plus for my business needs, but a bit of a trek from major sites.
