Staff were super friendly, breakfast great and the rooftop was a to sit and overlook the city from. Super walkable to all the main sights and the neighbour has some lovely shops and bars hidden away from the main tourist trail. Would definitely recommend"

Top French Street Hotel Reviews

Pera Bosphorus Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is really nice, the only thing is my hairdryer wants working and it took forever to get a replacement. First they came to see, then they sent me to another room to dry my hair, then they wanted out and they brought me a hairdryer. It was all over the place. Finally got my hair dried."

The Wings Hotels Collection

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent property. Well located. Excellent service and well maintained. Extremely helpful staff"

Aria Palace Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Great area with lots of food options, including Turkish and Arabic restaurants for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The location felt very safe since it's near a police station and one of the main taxi pickup spots. The staff were extremely friendly and spoke Turkish, Arabic, English, German, Farsi/Dari, Russian, and Uzbek, which made communication easy. The neighborhood is very multicultural and welcoming. It's close to the nightlife and all the action around Taksim, but it becomes much quieter later in the evening, making it easy to sleep. The air conditioning worked well, the bathroom was clean, and the room had plenty of space. The hotel is literally a 4-minute walk from Taksim, with all the shops, restaurants, cafés, and entertainment venues nearby. At the same time, there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, and convenience stores right outside the hotel, so you don't even need to go far to find what you need. Overall, this was a great place to stay. Excellent location, friendly staff, plenty of space, and a perfect balance between being close to the nightlife and still being able to get a good night's sleep at least for me. The spa was very nice and legit as well"

Richmond Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really good hotel. The location is excellent and very clean. Even though it’s right on Istiklal street, but no noise at night in the room. The breakfast was really good. But the best part was the extremely kind and helpful staff. Jurideh, Feret and all the staff did everything that they could, to help us in every possible way. I highly recommend this hotel."

The Wings Hotels Pera

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel had a great boutique vibe. It was in a great location. Staff were friendly and helpful. The King Size bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was nice and clean. Great value….Recommend it highly"
