Cesmeli Vacations from $264

The hotel was right near the busy shopping street, which made it perfect for us. It’s walking distance from the Galata Tower and has lots of transportation options. Food options were plentiful and if you are in Istanbul for the night life it’s one of the places to be. I stayed Wednesday through to Friday, the first night was quiet no noise from the street. But Thursday heading to the weekend was very noisy sound like a birthday party was happening under our bedroom window until 3am, so bear that in mind if you wanted a quiet stay. Also I booked the breakfast included options and the view of the city was amazing from there. All in all I would book again but mid week though.

The front of house staff which were available to support 24hours, were very friendly and helpful - excellent customer service. The room was spacious, clean and kept to a high modern standard. The room has a mini bar, with alcoholic (beers) and soft drinks. The bed mattress was on the firm side but worked for me as I much prefer it. The breakfast was also good, as a buffet type you get a choice between hot and cold food (or both). The hotel is in a superb location only 6mins walk to Sultanahmet Square and at close proximity to restaurants and bars. Public transport (tram) is also a few mins walk. I would highly recommend.

We were a group of 9 people divided over 5 rooms. This was an amazing experience made even better by the staff at the hotel. They made us feel at home. They were helpful, friendly, warm, and very welcoming. This is not our first time at Richmond Istanbul and it definitely won't be our last. Thank you for the management of the hotel.

We had an amazing experience in this hotel!

The staff, rooms, and location are excellent.
