    It doesn’t matter if you’re on the European or Asian side of Türkiye, they use European plugs on both sides.  That’s not the sea, it’s the Bosphorus strait

    Let’s be clear the Ciragan Palace is the historic building next door to the actual hotel. The hotel is a modern construction run by the Kempinski Group. There are two restaurants in the Palace the Tugra and the Bellini overlooking the Bosphorus which have to be booked in advance. The Hotel is amazing due to its location, but another amazing hotel adjacent to the Ciragan Palace hotel is the Four Seasons on the Bosphorus!

    This is my favourite luxury hotel, our arrival experience was amazing, we were escorted to a private room and treated like royalty. The soap smell is the most amazing soap smell i have ever had in a hotel. The property is stunning and VERY clean, and the staff are 10/10. Enjoy your stay.

    I have stayed there many times in the past, it is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. I highly recommend although it is not cheap.

    They change the towels every day and put fresh ones so those towels are not subject to and do not contain  bacteria from prevous guest. Fyi. 🌸

    Amazing review and hotel stay.<br><br>The arrival experience showed how great hospitality can be when staff are trusted to adapt rather than just follow a script. The &quot;Have you seen my voucher?&quot; moment at the bar had me laughing haha.<br><br>I also 100% agree about smoking in the food area. Even outdoors, there should be a clearly designated non-smoking section. It&apos;s frustrating when the views are amazing but non-smokers feel pushed indoors.<br><br>Glad to see the welcome gift was much more impressive this time as well.<br><br>Keep up the great work. Your editing and fun but detailed commentary are excellent. Nearly 10k subscribers already is very impressive for this category of videos.
