“Bosphorus views, smoke leak unresolved”
Shangri-La Bosphorus, Istanbul faces the sea in a convenient walkable part of the city: an amazing spa, large executive suites with partial sea views, a scenic outdoor breakfast area and free extra beds for children. It is no longer new, and one guest had a genuinely bad night — their non-smoking room filled with cigarette smell from adjacent smokers all night and the front desk could not resolve it, ruining sleep. Another review calls overall quality poor for the tier, though most guests rate it excellent for exploring Istanbul.
