My fiance and I stayed at this hotel for a few nights while in Istanbul, Turkey on our honeymoon. It was perfect! The room is small (the one we got) but very nice and the location of the hotel is to die for. You can easily walk to all the tourist hot spots, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and... More

Whenever we needed something- whether it was plugs for our computers to directions on where to go, they were there!! Breakfast was great. All in all it was a... More

I stayed for 3 nights in December, and was generally happy. The best part was definitely the very helpful staff. I got a great tip from Sabahattin for a local concert one night, he really made a big effort to help me find something that fitted just what I was looking for. The room (#203) was OK, but certainly nothing... More

We spent 4 days At the Grand Peninsula in July, 2011. The hotel is an excellent location... a five minute walk to most of the main attractions in old Istanbul. The staff was friendly, the rooms clean and bright and breakfast was great. We really enjoyed our stay. The roof top view was exquisite. Very reasonably priced. More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and booked a single room in advance. I arrived at 7 AM in the hotel, and even though my room was not yet ready, one of the staffs was nice enough to offer me breakfast even though I haven't officially booked-in yet. Even though my room is at the basement, it was... More

I said that if I go back to Istanbul, I would returned to the Grand Peninsula. And I did. The hotel is situated in the heart of Sultanahmet. It is full of charm, very quiet, the bedrooms are very clean and prettily decorated. Breakfast is served on the terrace wich gives a amazing view on Marmara Sea. The staff make... More

A friend and I stayed at Grand Peninsula Hotel over the Eid break in November. From the moment we were picked up at the airport (separately) we felt the warmth of the Turkish people and were made to immediately feel at home. Ramazan and Sabahattin and our driver were all really helpful in giving us directions, telling us about great... More

Grand Peninsula is a small, cosy place in the heart of Istanbul's Sultanahmet district, where most of the important sights are. The rooms were clean, the staff (ramadzan and Sabahattin) really friendly and cooperative (they pick you up at the airport, arrange sightseeing tours.. above all the hotel has an amazing terrace with a view over the Marmara Sea where...

We spent a Wweek at the Grand Peninsula and had a great time. It's not a fancy hotel, but the location is great. There were a number of good restaurants within easy walking distance. It was also a 15 minute walk or less from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Sultanahmet tram stop, and maybe 20 from the Grand Bazaar.... More
