"The hotel looks great esthetically. The rooms are much smaller than what the pictures make them seem. Very dated. The AC didnt work consistently it would cool for 5 mins and blow warm humid air The rest of the day. No storage in the room for long stays. The showering amenities like shampoo are really low quality and Im one who never has an issue with this but I had an issue with their product. The carpets had stains and crust feel and need to cahnged. The pillows were lumpy and really poor. I had 4 different sized pillows lol. The breakfast buffet was great!"

"Beautiful place to stay! The room was amazing and the breakfast buffet was incredible."

"As a hotel executive in New York City, I am a big fan of Turkish hospitality. No country can beat Turkish hospitality and service culture. My room was modest and clean. Everyday cleaning service and clean towels were making me feel so happy once I was back to my hotel room. Every day, 1 liter of complimentary Turkish mineral water was a simple, polite amenity. I did not get a chance to use the rooftop breakfast, however. The Pera district offers tons of great restaurant and cocktail bar options. Mahir Lokantasi ( gourmet's favorite) was also tasty and authentic. We will be back in August for another trip!"

"Tout est parfait dans cet hôtel, lieu, l'emplacement et les chambres !"

"Super quiet location yet super central. You can walk to Sultanhamet square in 6 mins and 10 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. Breakfast was amazing too. And the staff is very nice! "

"The concierge staff was excellent thank you"

"Great location, clean and kind staff. The only issue for me is that when I checked-in they told me that I was upgraded from city view to sea view…they should have said downgraded to open rooftop club view facing my window playing very loud music from 9:30pm to 12:30 every night! Very unfortunate, bad sleep for 3 nights. "

"We had a wonderful stay at the Pera Palace. The sense of history is remarkable, and from the moment you arrive, the hotel exudes timeless elegance. While some may describe it as having an “old” feel, we found it to be more of a refined, classic charm—rich in character rather than dated. We were fortunate to receive an upgrade to a room with a balcony overlooking the Bosphorus. The views were truly stunning, especially at sunset and into the evening, when the city takes on a magical atmosphere. The Orient Bar is an absolute must, and the tea room is equally exceptional—both experiences that beautifully reflect the hotel’s heritage and sophistication. Although we spent a few nights in the Sultanahmet area, we found the Pera Palace’s location on the Galata side to be far more appealing, with easy access to excellent restaurants and vibrant nightlife. Without question, this will be our hotel of choice on our next visit to Istanbul. "

"Fantastic stay in a fabulous gem"
