I stayed at Pera Palace for several days before and after the Orthodox Easter (April 15 this year), got a room on the top floor, which from otside looks like a mansard, though it does not actually feel like one when inside and even has a balcony. The room was clean and cosy, but probably would be a bit too... More

We stayed in the Pera Palace during the Catholic Easter holidays. We had a very nice time in Istanbul and in the hotel despite some small hitches. First, the pluses.

Just about anybody who is anybody has stayed at this hotel as this was a stop off point for the Orient Express. The comfort factor wasn't there, this is a rickety hotel with character.

After a long restoration period the Pera Palace Hotel has been restored to its glory. The rooms are a bit on the small side (to be expected from a classical hotel), but the level of furnishing and comfort is second to non. The staff are amazing and they would go out of their way to help you. Free WiFi is... More
