Dealing with Raffles Istanbul was such a pleasure from start to end. We had issues with our credit card which we used to make the booking and Esin from the hotel contacted me and helped to resolve my issues. She then helped to arrange for the meeting room which you can book when you book a club suite. Overall beautiful hotel and helpful staff
