Mfb Tarabya Hotel Reviews

An excellent hotel, the staff are very successful and friendly.

The service is very poor, the service staff basically can't speak English

We left Istanbul to spend just one night at MFB My Finest Bosphorus Hotel. We had been invited to a Wedding to be held at nearby Izoletta – a magical, rural, wedding venue. We booked a Special Deluxe Room with Bosphorus view, wanting to stay in the same hotel as the wedding party. This charming “olde worlde” hotel stood just over the road from that great restless swell of water that is the Bosphorus. Our elegant room was number 106 and on the corner with a slender balcony and a great view. I am guessing that 106, 206 and 306 were the best rooms along with the three front facing rooms in the same category situated at the opposite corner of the building. In fairness, we arrived late at the hotel and had to hurry to get ready for the wedding and the next morning we had a taxi booked to take us back to Istanbul so that does impact on the review. We did not really have time to relish our environment. I cannot say whether the hotel is or is not well-located as we were not there long enough to make this assessment. The bedroom was spacious with a large bathroom and we had a lovely breakfast of good coffee, fresh fruit and sweet rolls before we left, sitting out front enjoying the sunshine, the breeze and the waves. This is an old-fashioned hotel but with appealing faded glory and an air of nobility. The staff grappled with English at times but really, truly tried to be helpful. Perhaps the feeling of being off the usual tourist grid added to the piquancy of the setting. If the excitement of travel is about the “otherness” of places and bases then this is a gracious if rather anachronistic stop over.

They mandatorily took my car for valet parking when I arrived for the night. The next morning, they crashed my car in front of my eyes while hotel driver was pulling my car from the parking spot. I learned that the licensed valet driver was sent for to an airport pick-up and they had their waiter from their restaurant to drive and pull the parked cars for that time period. The waiter literally didn't know how to drive. He stopped my car 2-3 times on the street. The hotel manager funnily offered me to pay $30-$60 to fix my car or asked me to leave the car at their place and they’ll get it fixed. My bumper and front right-light had deep scratches, bumper offset from the body that I need to take my car to a body shop. On top of this incident, they charged me $55.06 for the extra bed they brought to my room for my 14 y.o. son even after I paid $429.98 for the room for two nights. Their rooms are very small. Breakfast is not free and overcharged compared to restaurants around. I don’t recommend anyone to stay at this hotel. Letting customer’s car drive to a person who doesn’t know how to drive is not an accident! It is lack of responsibility. Under their management logic their valet driver may cook your food at your stay, be careful!

Boğaz da ev sıcaklığında bir otel istiyorsanız kesinlikle tek adres. Daha öncede gelmiştim ama çok değişiklik olmuş ileri seviyede bir hizmet anlayışı ile güzel bir deneyim oldu . Aile ile gelinecek nezih kaliteli bir lokasyon.

We spent a wonderful weekend with my family and close friends. The hotel is in a perfect location. There are many nice restaurants and clubs within walking distance. I would like to say about the hotel staff that they are very friendly.I especially want to thank the lady from FO .Her name is Betul, who works at the reception. She organized a wonderful weekend for us.I congratulate her and the hotel .management because of their hospitality.

I was sent an email by the hotel staff ahead of my check-in letting me know that singles could not be allowed to stay within the hotel, however they ended up letting me in. Thank you for this. The next day on my check out I was told by the gentleman at the reception that the hotel was designed for rather conservative/religious individuals at my big surprise. I thought that Turkey is rather a secular country though. Of course I will take their message into account and no longer consider nor recommend this hotel to anyone. Besides this, the establishment is clean nicely located. The heater is not covering the bathroom area though and this is not convenient on a winter season. Good luck with your divisive and conservative approach.

Perfect location ,all rooms face the Bosphorus. We often spotted Dolphins. Hotel is clean, people are friendly. In the neighborhood enough Nice restaurants with lovely seafood. Recommendable for people who are seeking rest and a beautiful scenery

It was nice stays with decent room condition and amazing ocean view. Just one comment for next travelers, just keep in mind there are no grocery stores on site and you need 10~ 15 min walking to grab some foods. I

The marble work of the hotel and room was very luxurious. The room itself was grand with amazing views of the Bosphorus. All around excellent hotel.

Our room had a very nice view of the Bosphorus. The hotel was very clean, staff very friendly.. It;s in a quite neighbourhood... Will go back

I could not check in with my girl friend. This hotel accommodates married couples only. This was not disclosed during reservation. Please refund the charge!

The hotel was excellent, easy to locate and has a great view, also the employees were very friendly and helpful.

It would be perfect if they offered alcohol
