Pera Life

The location, the breakfast was delicious. Nazli and Farbod were exceptional, friendly, went out of their way to assist us and make our trip a wonderful experience.

Nothing particular, the bed I slept in is getting a bit old.

The loveliest staff. Very friendly and accommodating. Provided the best service. Room had an amazing balcony with view.

Nice and clean. Excellent location just near the metro station. Very friendly host.

I lovely little hotel with 24 hour reception who can organise airport transfers. They contacted us via WhatsApp several times to confirm our booking firstly, then check on the details of our transfer a few days prior. Always clear and friendly communication. We arrived at 6am and our room was cool and clean. We had paid for the day before to ensure our room was available so we were able to have breakfast the day we arrived. A lovely selection of breads, cheeses, vegetables and omelettes, with lots of fresh bread. All served in the cafe beneath the rooms, which is open for tea, coffee and snacks until 10pm. There is also a convenience store next door, for those last minute bits and pieces or late night snacks. The room is a nice size with a very small balcony and great view of the city and the Golden Horn River. Room 304, is in fact the only room with a balcony, all other rooms have a Juliet balcony. Plenty of shelf space and power points. Shower was hot with great water pressure. AC kept the room nice and cool with the option of opening a window or balcony door for fresh air. All staff were fabulous and super helpful especially Narsely who organised for us to go to a Hamam close by, which was fabulous and definitely worth doing. Very close to Galata Tower and only a short walking distance to many cafes, restaurants and bars. Would definitely return if we were ever in Istanbul again.

The bed is firm and small (double) and was too short for my 6’3 husband. The room was very bright as the curtains didn’t cover the windows and the display from the AC lite up the room. The towels were thin and forgotten on one day.
