I stayed here in April 10 and booked 3 months in advance specifically to request a room with a view. I was given a room in the basement at the back of the building, mostly below ground level with a strip of window at the top of the wall, with a view of peoples feet passing by. They could also...

This is my first ever review for Trip Advisor. We stayed at this hotel at the beginning of December and were very pleased with the location. We had a large double room on the top floor, with views of the Bosporus. There is no lift, but the stairs were no problem for us & the staff brought our cases up... More

The décor is tacky and wi-fi’s provided only in the tiny lobby, but comfortable beds and an excellent rooftop breakfast make the Peninsula a good budget choice in the generally pricy enclave between the Hagia Sophia and the Bosphorus shore. We paid TL100 per night for a double. More

I stayed at the Hotel Peninsula in November for a couple of days. The location is great, as it is only a short walking distance to a lot of main tourist attractions on the European side. The only downside is, that there are many mosques very close by... and call for prayer quite early in the morning! The staff was... More

I stayed here with my sister late December 2011. The location was excellent, a short walk to restaurants and the main attractions of old Istanbul. I would recommend it to anyone looking for budget accommodation the staff were very friendly and helpful. However, a warning, there was a mosque right outside our bedroom window, the call to prayer at dawn... More

This hotel was really amazing. Located blocks from some of the most famous sights in Istanbul, this hotel maintains a relaxed environment with clean and comfortable rooms with excellent English speaking staff who was very friendly and competent. The hotel offers a very nice roof terrace with great view over the Bosphorus. There they serve a very good breakfast. You... More

If you are interested in staying at a hotel in the center of everything Istanbul has to offer, consider this lovely boutique hotel with a wonderful front desk staff. We felt the value was very good and the room comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. More

This is a great hotel in an ideal location for visiting Istanbul. The hotel is a short walking distance, along pleasant streets, to the metro and main attractions. The area around the hotel is very quiet but contains several restaurants and shops (an even a market which is great for buying large jugs of water). More

I will highly recommend this hotel. Located conveniently to major attractions in Istanbul. The room was clean and cosy. It's a 4 storey hotel. For those with problems climbing stairs, request for rooms at the lower floors although the breakfast is at the terrace on the 4th floor. However, the rooms on the top floor have view of the sea....

This is a delightful small hotel with comfortable rooms and beds and a wonderful, engaging, and helpful staff (most humorous Rohat and most kind Baris among them) that's within a truly short walking distance to many of Istanbul's treasures. We're a family of five that just returned from five nights at the Hotel Peninsula, and while we're certain there are... More
