This great hotel was perfect for our stay, inexpensive, nice above basic rooms and very clean with a great breakfast on the roof terrace and perfectly situated literally minutes from the Blue Mosque and onward to Hagia Sofia Museum/Church, Topkapi Palace and Basillica Cisterns. I cannot praise Ramazan too highly for his friendly and very helpful personality, lots of advice... More

This hotel was perfect for us! We could walk to the Blue Mosque and all other destinations were within reach by foot or tram. The breakfast was delightful as was the rooftop terrace. The hotel manager was extremely helpful, even loaning us 100 L when we arrived (very tired) so that we could get a quick sandwich without having to... More

Great location, helpful staff and basic clean rooms...also delicious breakfasts.. Stayed at the Peninsula hotel last time in Istanbul and this one is better...recommend this hotel to money conscious travelers.

We have just stayed at Hotel Grand Peninsula for four nights. The staff, especially Sabo, were excellent as far as suggesting restaurants in the area, places to visit and assisting with directions. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. Everyone we encountered spoke English well which was a great help to us. The hotel is located a short... More

This is a moderately priced (for Istanbul) hotel which had everything that we needed: VERY central and convenient location (though on a quiet street - i.e. best of both worlds!), clean rooms, good hot shower, hot water pot, refrigerator, safe deposit box (small and key-operated), and good service. Ramazan (day) and Sabo (evening) were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Ramazan... More

Nice little hotel very near Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and tram line. Dozens of restaurants just around the corner. Friendly staff and nice breakfast on the rooftop which has a view of the Bosphorus. Room was pleasant but no tea, coffee, bottled water or shampoo in the room. We were given an upgrade in room but it overlooked... More

We stayed six nights in April. It is two minutes walk from the main sights. The hotel is in a quiet area tucked away down a little sidestreet. No frills, but very clean with a good turkish breakfast of yoghurt, fruit, salad, cheeses and rolls. Ramazan and his staff were very friendly and helpful and arranged all airport transfers etc....

We stayed in this great little hotel for 4 nights. It was good value for the money, breakfast was good, and the roof-top breakfast room had a nice view of the Bosphorus. Like all hotels in this area at this price range, the rooms are not large, nor are the bathrooms, but everything was clean and fresh. Staff were helpful... More

Tucked away on a little side street between the Sea of Marmara and the Blue Mosque/Hagia Sophia, the hotel had a delightful location for a day's worth of sightseeing in that area. My main complaint though, is that from this area, it is relatively hard to get to/from other sights and the best nightlife/restaurants, which are across the Golden Horn.... More
