    Charming Experience with Stunning Views

    I had a lovely stay, enjoying breathtaking views of the Bosphorus from my room. The piano player in the lounge added a special touch to our evenings. For future guests, try to arrive early to secure a great spot. Not all staff are equally attentive, but a few shine brightly!

    The elegant design of Sofitel truly impressed me, particularly the spacious lounge area that made it easy for seniors like myself to navigate comfortably while enjoying a nice cup of tea.

    french bread
    spacious rooms
    taksim square access
    concierge absence
    shower gel issue

    Oh, the French bread was divine, a must-try alongside their delightful pastries! Plus, being just steps from Taksim Square was a sweet treat for exploring. The spacious rooms made us feel right at home, and the breakfast was an energizing start to our days.

    We had a bit of a hiccup with the concierge. no one was around when we needed reservations. Also, the bathroom lucked out on a shower gel delivery—funny, right? But they eventually sorted us some adjacent rooms when we pointed it out.
