“Bosphorus beauty, perfume-policy sting”
Mandarin Oriental Bosphorus, Istanbul is loved as a quiet, luxurious, beautifully designed hotel in the best part of the city, with stunning views, rooms featuring small balconies or courtyards, kind service and a rich breakfast enjoyed slowly in the Bosphorus breeze — several guests are repeat visitors. One serious complaint stands out: a guest was not warned that rooms are treated with perfume scenting, developed a severe migraine that ventilation could not relieve, found every alternative room equally perfumed, had to leave immediately and was still charged for the entire stay.
