Nothing could have been better.

Location of hotel was very good - close to Istikal. Breakfast was excellent, many opitons and everything was deliciious. The staff of the hotel couldn't have been more helpful. The hotel itself is a treasure.

For the price we expected more than just the room however everything from breakfast to 3 o’clock tea and even parking parking was extra and prices are inflated. I declined flowers in the room at a cost of $5 per flower and opted to purchase our own at the florist around the corner at the cost of $15 for a large bouquet.

We loved the old nostalgic feel of the Pera. Everything was clean and well preserved.

Lifts that make you feel like a sardine. Service was more 4 star than 5 star as not always attentive or quick.

Beautiful hotel with period fittings and great history with modern facilities

The service was amazing!

It’s a really noisy location mainly due to surrounding hotels playing loud music till 2am (yes Soho House I mean you!) There’s only one working lift in the hotel. Bizarrely for a luxury hotel, the bar doesn’t open till 6pm (and even this was delayed). The indoor sitting area is quite small, so guests go out onto the terrace, where there was an additional bar, which had no staff, so some confusion from the guests as to whether it was table service or bar service as it took staff some time to come out. It’s as though the hotel don’t want to make money and would rather the guests spend their money elsewhere (maybe Soho House). We were also told don’t serve hot drinks (tea/coffee) in this bar.

The suite we stayed in was quite spacious for the age and style of hotel. Breakfast was good and the breakfast manager (sorry I didn’t catch his name) was fabulously efficient, welcoming and friendly.

We found the location a little difficult, it was fine on the way out but we had trouble with the taxis in Istanbul so it made things a little stressful on the way back sometimes. Not the hotels fault at all.

It’s a beautiful hotel and was a lovely place to stay. The room was a good size and comfortable as was the bathroom. It was nice to have a small balcony too.

Absolutely beautiful, iconic, lifetime experience.

I liked the sense of history mixed with comfort.

The view from our room was basically a parking lot and a highway, I was not expecting that from the Pera Palace. A bit old fashioned in some aspects - expecially for the price

The Pera palace is a historic hotel definitely worth a visit. Amazing interiors and very good service. The room was spacious, although not as amazing as we expected for the price.

It’s a little far from the centre, but it’s a relatively short Uber trip. The Afternoon Tea sandwiches were just ok, and could have been more varied. And it’s pricey, but I can see why

The staff were great, the place looks great, the breakfasts were varied and plentiful, the rooms are clean and comfortable and things worked

Breakfast fell a bit short as at that price I expected more and of better quality. It was Ok but just a little bland compared to similar properties in Turkey. Full of tourists...

it has the old school ambiance even though the entrance area and lobby is very shallow( very near the actual entrance), ts doesnt expand backwards but rather sideways. My Great Garbo room was very nice.

The dinner experience. For example, bread wasn't warmed (first world problems, I know). The good news is there's tons of other dinner restaurants footsteps away.

Pera Palace Hotel is located in the perfect location - can't be beat. When visiting you'll be just a few blocks away from tons of attractions. Doorman service is a definite plus for safety, security, and comfort. Staff are fluent in multiple languages. The history and story of the hotel speaks volumes. The front desk clerk Deniz is amazing.

Young employees don't have a good english level.

Stepped into 1892, with very welcoming staff and a very cosy atmosphere.

That we had to leave.

Pera Palace is not an ordinary luxury hotel. It is a historical location where the new Türkiye republic was born, where the father of modern Türkiye, Mustafa Kamel Ataturk lived in the most critical historical moment. Hotel is beautifully restored, and offers all the comfort a discriminating traveler can ask for. We stayed in a studio, and there are historical rooms, like Agatha Christie, Hemingway, etc. Breakfast is a very delicious, and with a great variety. I created a "heavenly bite", rolled puff pastry, toped with clotted cheese, toped with raw honey. Bar is very stylish. And you can have an afternoon "old time style" tee in the main hall. All and all, a great place to explore Istanbul.

Unfortunately but understandably, due to building’s construction with wooden floors, one could hear guests footsteps from the room above ours.

Beautiful and elegant historical property. A Fantastic spread for breakfast with so much variety.

a hotel with such a history needs also a hardcover menu in the bar and restaurant in my opinion. Everything thing goes with a QR CODE.

Nothing, really.

Everything was outstanding. First of all, this place is legendary, you can feel the history within its walls. They know the meaning of the word hospitality. I really appreciated the fact that seeing there was queue to take the modern lift from the lobby, the doorman showed us the other way to the old lift, the 2nd in Europe, the one Agatha Christie went on, and which is now usally unused. The room was neat and charming, everything was perfect inside and the only downside would be the view to the decrepituded building on the opposite side of the road. We did not dine at Agatha's Restaurant, but its breakfast buffet was excellent. And the Orient Bar is just like I imagined it.

We had a forced overnight stay via Turkish Airlines so it was centrally located so we could walk to shops and grab food.

We had the Greta Garbo corner room that was absolutely perfect! Roomy.
