Pros:

J’ai eu la chance de passer ma lune de miel dans cet hôtel et j’en suis très satisfaite. Un cadre très cozy et chaleureux. L’emplacement est top, tout est à proximité.
Le personnel est très sympa et gentil, je me sentait comme chez moi.
Si j’aurai l’occasion de revenir un jour je ne le changerai pas c’est sûr.

Άψογη φιλοξενία, υπέροχο προσωπικό και πάντα μια ζεστή αίσθηση σαν το σπίτι μου
Pros:

Το Richmond για μένα δεν είναι απλώς ένα ξενοδοχείο, είναι το δεύτερο σπίτι μου στην Κωνσταντινούπολη. Όλο το προσωπικό είναι καταπληκτικό, ευγενικό και πάντα πρόθυμο να βοηθήσει σε οτιδήποτε χρειαστείς. Κάθε φορά που βρίσκομαι στην πόλη δεν μπορώ να φανταστώ να μένω κάπου αλλού. Το προτείνω ανεπιφύλακτα.

Pros:

Location is great, overall this place is ine of my favourite

Cons:

I hope booking can reach out to Richmonds top management. I reached around 5:30 am and i had already requested an early check in. When i reached the staff (hotel receptionist was sleeping), thats not a oroblem when he hears the doop open he quickly woke up. I asked dor my room he said we cant give a room we are fully booked, then after 30 min i went ro him again he said we cant give you a room untill the cleaners come and clean whatever rooms get checked out and they come after 8pm.
His shift finished at 7:30 and a new hotel receptionist came, i asked him for a room he immediately helped and gave me a room.
The issue i have is that he was lying to me.

Pros:

The location is great. The breakfast is good. The staff are very helpful

Cons:

The rooms are a bit outdated. The walls are very thin and one can hear everything from the adjacent rooms. Not only from the rooms , but washroom as well.

Pros:

My husband and I stayed at the Richmond Hotel during our trip to Istanbul. I have been to Istanbul three times, and this was by far the best hotel I have stayed in.
The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always helpful — especially Harun, who also helped us with a restaurant reservation and remained smiling, friendly, and attentive throughout our entire stay.
The rooms were very well equipped and spotless. The location on Istiklal Street was also perfect and very convenient for exploring the city.
For my birthday, they even surprised me with a cake and a birthday card that I discovered when I returned to the room, which made our stay even more special.
A huge thank you to all the staff at Richmond Hotel for their wonderful hospitality. We highly recommend this hotel!

Tolles Hotel & top Service
Pros:

Wir waren sehr zufrieden und die Lage des Hotels ist top. Besonders Harun hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert und war stets freundlich und zuvorkommend. Aber auch die Angestellten im Restaurant, als auch beim Room Keeping waren sehr aufmerksam. Wir würden immer wieder kommen und das Hotel weiterempfehlen!

Cons:

Im Restaurant musste man sich das Besteck von anderen Tischen holen.

Highly recommended
Pros:

Amazing, spacious room with very comfortable beds and a cozy sofa. The windows are well insulated, so you can’t hear any noise, which makes for a very peaceful stay. The breakfast was also delicious.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—they even assisted me with my luggage, as there are stairs leading to the lobby.
The location is excellent, right on Istiklal Street, within walking distance of the metro station, taxis, and Galata Tower. Galata Port is also just a 10–15 minute walk away. The area is lively and full of restaurants, cafés, and shops, making it a perfect place to stay.

Cons:

Nothing.
