Istanbul Sapphire Office & Sapphire Skydeck — Attraction in Kâğıthane

AWFUL CAFETERIA!! DIRTY TEA CUPS!

We visited the 360 Istanbul and Sky Ride - really nice place. However, I would like to give a feedback about cafeteria on the roof.

First of all - no prices for the cakes shown and nobody gave us a menu either. Second - no bill was provided for the meal we paid for. Third and the most important and awful - dirty cups for Turkish tea!!! Me and my friend got 2 dirty cups with oily fingerprints and lips traces of the previous "user". We gently returned the tea to the barmen and asked him to change. However, he didn't even tell simple "sorry" to us. Instead of this he brought one clean cup, and one more dirty (again!!) When we asked him again to change it, he blamed it's our hands are dirty! Very rude and unprofessionally, not the level of high-level fancy place as Sapphire.

As the barmen doesn't speak English, I kindly asked his colleague from SKY RIDE to translate to the guy I wish to write a feedback in the feedback book. Instead of that, they started to explain to me how tired and busy they are, said "sorry" and even suggested my money back.

I told: I don't need my money, I wish to have the adequate service for the money I'm paying. And I want to warn customers not to eat/drink in the Sapphire cafeteria. It's not possible to trust a place after all.

Btw, the management doesn't care about the customers feedbacks - 2 weeks ago I sent the same email to them, however, I didn't receive any answer.... So just...

The Sapphire Istanbul, officially known as the Sky Towers, is one of the tallest buildings in Turkey, located in the Levent district of Istanbul. Offering an impressive panoramic view of the city, it stands as a prominent feature of Istanbul’s skyline.

From the observation deck on the top floor, visitors are treated to breathtaking views of the Bosphorus Strait, the Golden Horn, and major landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and the Topkapi Palace. On clear days, you can even catch sight of the Princes' Islands and the far-reaching Anatolian side of the city.

The Sapphire Istanbul also boasts luxurious residential apartments and offices, alongside retail spaces, but its most popular feature is its viewing platform, which has become a favorite among tourists and locals alike. It offers an incredible perspective of Istanbul, allowing for both daytime and nighttime views that highlight the city's dynamic nature and blend of modern and historical architecture.

For those looking to enjoy a full Istanbul experience, the panoramic views from Sapphire Istanbul provide a unique vantage point to appreciate the sprawling beauty of one of the world's most...

The shopping mall itself is nothing special. In fact there better shopping malls in walking distance. But the real reason you'd go here is the rooftop view.

Just so you know you'd have to go through security in order to get into the mall it's not as strict as it is on airports but still. There is an underground connection to the shopping mall which really makes it easy to go here, it is located on "4. Levent" station of the M2 line.

The rooftop view is the main (and only) attraction here. Bare in mind that you'd have to buy a ticket to get there and if you are not a Turkish citizen price is doubled. The view though is magnificent you can see the majority of the city from there. It is definitely something you should experience if you visit Istanbul. It is quite similar to the rooftop view in Empire State building. There is also a small gift shop there but I wouldn't recommend buying anything from there it's expensive and...
