"This hotel is one-and-done for me and I am very unlikely to return.  It looks more interesting than the boring Marriotts Sheratons or Deltas, but it's Autograph brand so I must compare with the other Autographs I have stayed in Istanbul, and also Design + Tribute brands; of the 8 hotels of these brands that I have stayed in Istanbul before, I rank Burdock dead last because it's not nearly as wow or memorable in terms of style.  The second issue is that this hotel is not nearly as generous with upgrades for Bonvoy members. The positive about the "Grand Deluxe" room we received is that it looks like a suite because the living room is separate.  But the positives end there.  We had a wall-facing room on the first floor, it's as close as you can get to a window-less room.  Such a tragedy in a hilly city like Istanbul with so many hotels with postcard views.  Also the floor is some cheap vinyl which has been poorly installed because it "bubbles up" so when we walk the floors sinks in at various places in the room.  This is the perfect example of why I like to try hotels for one night only before committing for a longer stay later on.  I can weed out the bad apples easily. We had this poor room assignment not because the hotel was full, but because they told me they upgrade to suites only if a client burns a "Nightly Upgrade Award" from their account. It is in huge contrast at some other hotels in Istanbul they roll out the red carpet for Bonvoy Ambassador Elite guests and put aside a great suite for us, sometimes even when the hotel was full for example at our latest stay in Orientbank Hotel or the 2-bedroom suite at Casa Foscolo. Of course Burdock is free to assign whatever room they want to their guests, it's not my call to make. My call is rather to decide to go where we are treated best, and it's not at Burdock. In fairness a non-Bonvoy guest might find this hotel suitable but even then in a city shock full of great hotels this is still not the one I would recommend to such people."

"Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights (May 27–29, 2026). During my stay, I left my bag with the hotel, trusting that my belongings would be kept safe. Unfortunately, my glasses (worth approximately $500) were stolen after my bag was left in an area accessible to other guests. 📹 The hotel reviewed the CCTV footage and confirmed that another guest opened my bag and took the glasses. ❗ The hotel’s response was simply to place the guest on a blacklist. ❗ No compensation was offered. ❗ No meaningful resolution was provided. I find it unacceptable that guest belongings were not stored in a secure location. If you plan to leave luggage or valuables with this hotel, make sure they are properly secured and do not assume they will be protected. Very disappointing experience."

"Awesome staff at the restaurant! Stayed here during the Parkour World Cup and the service team was very good (8/10). Super friendly, quick, and welcoming every single day. Definitely made the trip better. Special regards to Erdem Canan Sefer Yusuf Burak Levent Abdullah Yagiz Tugce and Halil"

"Reception, excellent. Room, excellent. Restaurant, excellent: Breakfast staff learned, the first day, my room number, my lactose intolernt diet and my wife´s caffeine free diet. The kitchen staff even prepared for me the second and third breakfasts lactose free pancakes (with admond milk). One night I had dinner and the personnel there were vary kind."
