    The bed is too soft. When we arrived there was a leak in the bathroom. It was fixed quickly next day. But still there was a specific unpleasant smell in the bathroom.

    The tap on the bathtub needs to be fixed as it was difficult to turn the hot water nob and took alot of strength to turn it on.

    The font desk and bellmen were extremely helpful when I arrived. I enjoyed the ride to my room in the oldest elevator in Istanbul with the bellman and was brought up to a beautiful & large 19th century room overlooking the city with a balcony. The bed and bedding was extremely comfortable, and I enjoyed the deep antique soaker tub along with the shower in the bathroom.

    Having to leave.

    The word exceptional was created for the Pera palace. Being there went beyond staying in a high-class place. As you enter, history envelops and transports you to an era of relaxation and of opulence while making you feel part of a warm and nostalgic family. It is a totally rare experience that will stay with this writer. Every part felt so unique and nostalgic. From taking the ancient elevator on the first trip to one's room, visiting the suites of Agatha Christie's, Alfred Hitchcock, Mustafa Ataturk and staying in Ernest hemingway's suite. The dining experience, along with time in the Orient Express bar, are must-dos. Their breakfasts were extremely good. Above all, I feel that every single staff member deserves high praise for their genuine desire to be there for their visitors. A true feeling of being totally welcome.

    Rude, 20 yo bartender (he told us his age), didnt know how to make several popular drinks, including a martini. We observed several guests complain about their drinks. Expected much more from a hotel of this caliber. Training!? !

    Beautiful hotel, gorgeous decor, old world style meets new comfort. Lobby, spa, pool all lovely, great Hamam experience.

    Breakfast was not so great, and i didn't like that water in the room was in a cheap plastic bottle, and we had to constantly ask for refill.

    Great location a few minutes of walk from Istiklal street. Lots of great restaurants nearby, including with a Michelin star. Great view from window. The experience of being in such a legendary place is exceptional.

    We were initially given a room with the view of a wall and the room smelled of cigarettes. Luckily the front desk were able to give us another room with a much better view and no smells, even though the hotel was almost full.

    I love the ambience, history and gorgeous decor of this hotel and have stayed here before. Concierge are extremely helpful and friendly, it is well placed within the city and I always feel special when I walk in the door of the Pera Palace!

    Room was very hot and dry. I called twice about the problem, and the reception told me that they checked. However, the room still felt too warm even after I set the AC at 12 degrees Celsius. The room card readers are old and not sensitive enough. We struggled every time we enter the elevator or to open the room door.

    I liked the luxurious experience overall. Very nice and tasty breakfast. Room was quite spacious with high-end amenities. Service was good. The hotel is well-staffed, and everyone was polite and helpful. It’s nice to spend one night and walk around the hotel to see some older artifacts.

    The only thing I didn’t appreciate that much is that the breakfast was too expensive (25 euro per person) when in Istanbul you can have a gorgeous breakfast in almost every caffè for not more than 6 euro. And also that pictures are not allowed inside :) The hotel is so gorgeous that definitely deserves a picture!

    The hotel is gorgeous, the location was very appreciated since it is right in front a taxi station (best way to move in Istanbul, in my opinion) and very near to many different facilities. The room was gorgeous and the level of the hotel is best quality.
