Great 4.0
The location is great, the facilities are clean, & the staff are very nice. Thank you! However, after transferring to the 6-bed all-female dorm, I encountered a suspicious situation that management should be aware of. Around 11:00 p.m., a woman claiming to be from Kor** asked me to book & pay for her ticket to Paris online, saying she had an urgent early flight the next morning and only had euros with her, promising to repay me later. I declined because the story felt inconsistent. The next morning, Despite saying it was urgent and that she had euros, she did not even make an effort to go to the kiosk near the hotel or to the airport to buy her own ticket. She had already befriended other guests, seemed to have been staying there for quite some time,& became upset when I refused. I wasn’t scammed, but I hope management looks into this for the safety of future guests. This happened in Rm. 29 3rd flr. I was staying in Bed 4 (upper deck) and she’s in lower deck. Anyway, GOOD HOTEL to STAY

room was very clean and nice. breakfast options were limited compared to other Hampton I’ve visited . I was issued a two twin bedroom, even though I had booked a king with sofa bed.

We enjoyed beautiful views of the Bosphorus Strait from a wonderful location until sunset. You can get a great view of Dolmabahçe Palace, Rumeli Hisarı, and the Maiden's Tower from the sea as you pass under the bridges. Chef Ahmet served warm tea and distributed blankets. The fruit and cookie platter, along with the additional french fries and toast, were also delicious. With drink service included, this tour offers great value and is highly recommended. Please do order drinks and additional food! Thank you for the lovely magnet gift! This is my third time in Turkey, and this cruise is the best for relaxing and enjoying the music. Thank you for the excellent service, Chef Ahmet!

The Bosphorus dinner cruise private table seat was a wonderful experience that left us with pleasant memories. The atmosphere was elegant and calming, and there was a beautiful view of the Bosphorus River throughout the evening. The waiters took care to provide food and refill drinks throughout the evening. Enjoying some delicious Turkish cuisine is pleasant. The nighttime scenery was amazing, and the performance was excellent! We were constantly entertained by the dancers and musicians. These spectacular evenings and sceneries were expertly photographed by a professional photographer and printed in an album. Highly recommended!

One of the most gorgeous sunset I have ever seen. If you come to Istanbul, this is must-do activities. I highly recommend this tour because: (1) Service: the employees and tourguide guy are young and very enthusiastic to me. I like them and thankful to their service. (2) Facility/ Tour: worth the price, almost everyone has space outside to enjoy the view or taking photos. The cruise will cross all the famous and iconic places in both European and Asian side. (3) I tried this tour in middle of May, it had small rain but around 30 minutes only. After that the sunset bright and you will see both Asian and European in sunset. When the tour was going to end, we even saw a lot of dolphins, birds like seagull… The view was so stunning and peaceful 🌅💛

a steal deal! among the activities in istanbul this is the most value for money.. cruise, live show and food! for fraction of a price-compared to museums or palaces which is a rip off in my opinion. they also respect time, cruise starts at 20:45 and finishes at 23:45, which gives you ample time to catch the last tram service at 00:00

This activity worth every penny. I recommend to take the meal option because you will be given priority to seat at the table with the best view. The 3-course dinner that we had was delicious.
