Mecidiye Plajı

I stayed alone while I had internal throat surgery. The hotel (all the staff) were amazing and attentive. Even the room service man knew me and asked me how I was feeling everyday. The bed was very comfortable, the balcony was ideal for resting in my room and the AC worked! So important after an operation. The food was always good. And! I ate there everyday. I would absolutely stay again. I had a moment when I cried with concierge because it hurt to talk and she was so gracious and kind and helped me with what I needed. Thank-you Fairmont Quasar staff for your kindness and attention!

The hotel is beautiful. The location, in quiet Istinye Sariyer right on the water, is beautiful. If you have business or family in the area this is a beautiful hotel choice. Expect gorgeous accommodations without the crowds, but also without staff-there is no concierge. I just stayed for a week in August and there was no helpful staff. The front desk staff will not know you or be helpful. The rooms are very clean and the food is excellent…behind the scenes the staff works hard. It is the front of house staff that this hotel lacks, so be prepared if you do not speak Turkish.
