The Pera Hotel Istanbul, Istanbul

I was amazed by what they achieved with the economics of space in the rooms. The hotel is within walking distance from Sultanahmet and faced away from the street, which was great. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, and breakfast options were limited.

The hotel's rooms were disappointing with peeling paint and a claustrophobic, dingy feel, and a strong smell of cigarette smoke, but it was ready. The service varied from friendly to neutral but overall helpful. The location was excellent, near Istiklal Street and a short walk to Taksim Square. The dining experience was simple but fresh. The facilities were decent overall.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with very friendly staff. The location is fantastic, close to many bars and restaurants. However, the dining experience is a bit lacking with limited options. Overall, a convenient choice for travelers.

My stay at the hotel was an overall pleasant experience. The rooms were modern and clean, despite the occasional noise from outside. The hotel staff was very friendly and kind. The location was perfect, close to many attractions and a safe area. The dining experience was excellent, with traditional Turkish food served. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.

The hotel transports you to France with its belle époque style rooms, though they can feel a bit cramped, typical for Istanbul. The service is top-notch with a very convenient location close to Istiklal Street and Sishane metro station. Dining, while traditional Turkish, may require exploring other options. Overall, a cosmopolitan vibe with some small drawbacks.

The hotel rooms were very clean and nicely furnished but somewhat small with no external windows. The staff provided helpful and courteous service, with various assistance options available. Situated in an amazing and lively location near the Sishane metro station, the hotel offers stunning views of Istanbul. The dining experience, mainly for breakfast, had limited seating options. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel had a great location near Istanbul Pulse and Istiklal Street, making it convenient for exploring Beyoglu. The rooms were on the smaller side, ideal for one person, but a bit cramped for two. The service was friendly and helpful, especially Mr Ibrahim. The dining experience was traditional Turkish style, simple, and served early. The proximity to bars, restaurants, and clubs was a plus, but the lack of space in the rooms and street noise were minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The room, although small, was nice and well-stocked, but lacked a table for placing a computer and felt a bit cramped for two people. The peeling paint was a major downside, making the room feel claustrophobic and dingy. The service was exceptional, especially Ibrahim, who ensured all guests' amenities were secured. The location was fantastic, offering a great view and convenient access to various attractions. Dining was simple but fresh, although lacking variety. The hotel facilities were satisfactory but not outstanding.

The hotel is conveniently located in the center of Istanbul, with easy access to public transportation and a great area for exploring the city. The rooms are clean but feel a bit cramped and lack proper ventilation. The staff, especially Mr Ibrahim, are friendly and helpful, although some service aspects could be improved. The dining options are basic with traditional Turkish food, and the facilities are decent with a few shortcomings.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was superb, offering easy access to great bars and cafes, but the room size and lack of amenities were disappointing. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff, but the dining setup left much to be desired.
