This was our first stay at Pera Palace, as we usually stay at the Marmara Taksim. What a fantastic discovery!
The hotel is exceptional. The location is perfect; close to all the main attractions, with plenty of excellent bars and restaurants just a short walk away.
Everything was spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable with high-quality bedding, and the staff were attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming throughout our stay. The food was excellent, and the cocktails on the terrace were outstanding.
The hotel isn't cheap, but neither is Istanbul these days, so the pricing feels in line with the city. Considering the quality of the experience, we felt it was well worth it.
We'll definitely be staying here again. I think we've found our new go-to hotel in Istanbul.
