I've been to a lot of Hilton hotels before but it was my first time to see a loofah, dental kit, shaving kit and ladies set so kudos to Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus for offering a complete set👍 There was also a Majix shaving foam to go with the shaving kit which was generous.
Executive Lounge (9th floor)
Afternoon Tea (15:00 to 17:00)
Light Refreshments (18:00 to 20:30)
The third hot dish was baked pasta. There was also popcorn 😉
Breakfast (6:30 to 11:00)
Bosphorus Terrace Restaurant (Breakfast Buffet Restaurant)
The food selection was very extensive and had everything one could ask for (almost). I noticed that there was no bacon in the buffet and asked the waiter if they had them. He immediately asked the chef and told me it would be done in about 5 minutes. I told him it was okay (and not to bother) but in a few minutes, I got a plate of freshly grilled bacon. 👍

CONCLUSION
I've read a lot of good things about the Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus and that a lot of celebrities have stayed here, meaning it's a great hotel. The views of the Bosphorus is no doubt one of the best reasons to stay here. Although the room I got was not that modern, the views made up for it. The food selection from the breakfast buffet was just extensive and I have to commend the waiter for doing his best to serve the "bacon". The staff in the executive lounge were also very nice and helpful although I was misinformed about the opening hours of the breakfast buffet in the restaurant. The facilities were great although I did not have the time to use any of them. Hopefully, next time. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at the Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus. I have an upcoming stay at the Hilton ParkSA and Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus so I will come up with my favorite hotel in Istanbul after these stays 😉
