Radisson Blu Bosphorus Hotel

Right on the Bosphorous Sea and great location in Ortakoy, a pretty little suburb of Istanbul. A 20 minute boat ride (cost about £1) from the pier near the hotel takes you to the main tourist area of Istanbul - Hagia Sophia, Topkaki Palace, Blue Mosque etc. The hotel receptionist and concierge were extremely helpful. The House Cafe 2 mins from the hotel was an excellent spot for breakfast and dinner overlooking the Bosphorous.

The hotel is a bit out of the city centre but that was a bonus I felt as the city is soo busy. Ortakoy is a great location with good public transport options (or cheap taxis) with loads of lovely little restaurants and cafes plus the hotel is right on the water with a ferry stop too. The main sites and shopping area are easily accessed from the hotel. Great breakfast with a brilliant view of the bosphorus and very good air conditioning made for a lovely stay.
