Pera Life

Расположения отеля очень удобное. Мы приехали на машине и отель расположен рядом с шоссе, поэтому не пришлось ездить по узким улочкам Стамбула. Рядом было свободное парковочное место, но даже если оно будет занято - в 300 метрах платная парковка. От отеля 5-10 минут пешком до Галатской башни и метро, а по пути большое количество ресторанов и магазинов. Очень красивая терраса в номере. Персонал очень приветливый, старается помочь. Завтрак вполне нормальный, не шведский стол, но нормальный набор, омлет, овощи, сыры, колбаски и т.п. Вполне достаточно.

Мы брали номер на четверых и на мой взгляд в нем было много лишней мебели. Для двоих - много кроватей, раскладных диванов, для четверых, когда все разложить - места не остается.Уверен, что если немного пересмотреть мебель - получится очень уютный и комфортный номер.

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.

Good breakfast…. Staff were exceptional and went out of their way to make sure everything was excellent.

Everything was Great

I mainly used this hotel as a place to sleep and recharge between exploring the city, and it was perfect for that. The location is great - close to almost everything. The value for money is excellent, the rooms are always clean, and housekeeping keeps everything well maintained. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help. During my stay, I had a sore throat and couldn’t get to a pharmacy because they were closed for Bayram. The staff helped take care of me, which I really appreciated

Maybe the only downside is some street noise, but that’s to be expected given the very central location. I usually travel with earplugs, so it wasn’t much of an issue for me
