My stay at Port Bosphorus was overall quite enjoyable. The hotel is situated in a fantastic location with stunning views, especially from the rooftop restaurant. However, I found some areas needing improvement, such as the dimly lit hallways and the friendliness of the front desk staff, which impacted my experience. The breakfast buffet was a highlight, and the cleanliness standards were commendable.

I enjoyed my stay at Port Bosphorus, especially due to its excellent location near public transport and a fantastic view from the rooftop restaurant. However, I found the hallways a bit dark and lacked sufficient lighting, which was a downside for me. While the breakfast was commendable in variety and quality, the communication with the staff could have been smoother as some had limited English proficiency.

My stay at the Port Bosphorus had some ups and downs. The location was excellent, right near the tram station and bustling Galata Port, making it easy to explore Istanbul. However, the communication with some of the staff was sometimes a challenge, and the lack of light in the hallways was a little off-putting. On the bright side, the breakfast buffet was truly a highlight, offering a variety that exceeded my expectations.
