Find 3-Star Hotels in Istanbul

The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Upon arrival, they offered coffee or tea and provided maps, explaining nearby attractions and convenience stores, which was super helpful. They even gave me a special scarf, which came in handy for visiting the mosque as it requires a headscarf – a meaningful touch! They also helped carry my luggage upstairs and provided several complimentary bottles of water, which not all hotels do. The breakfast spread was one of the best I've had at any hotel, with a good variety, and the fruits like cherries and watermelon were very sweet! When checking out, they even gave me a local fridge magnet, which was a lovely gesture! The value for money is excellent, and the owner and staff are all so warm. The hotel itself is clean and well-maintained, and its location is fantastic – very close to the mosque. You just have to walk up a hill and cross the road to get there, or you can take the tram up the hill for convenience. The only downside is that the uphill path can be quite steep and uneven, so wearing sneakers is recommended for comfort. Hauling luggage can be a bit challenging, but you can always take a taxi directly to the hotel entrance. Despite the tricky walk, overall, I'm extremely satisfied!

Fabulous 👌 I had the balcony room at the top (501) and the views over the Bosphorus and Galata tower were amazing. The breakfast was plentiful and varied, and the location ideal, only 5 minutes walk to the tower. But what really makes this place special is the staff. They were wonderful. They made me so welcome on arrival and even went to the shop for me to buy some wine. Highly recommend.

Review of Pera Sultan suit: Hotel was booked for 2 person, I told in advance what will we need: expat pillows, blankets, plates with cups, cutlery ets. Send messages few times and got reply, so all will be ready. First day, I arrived, while check told about second person who will arrive next day. (All was in booking). When next morning second person arrive they didn’t let check in that easy seems in booking was only one person, even if other person showed his name in booking and all details. Reception didn’t open door from the room seems they don’t have extra key, so woke me up to open the door by myself! First day when I enter to the room, floor was dirty and there was no dishes, only one blanket and added few pillows, but only decor pillows. Actually it was only kettle and 2 small plastic glass with water to drink. When I asked about cups they showed me plastic. It was weird bcz I asked them in advance and also how I can put hot water there, have no idea. So asked them again and owner take me to the room where I told some plates, cups and other stuff like that. Next day (second day) was asked about cleaning. Because for sure the first day nobody clean anything, so answer was “ones in 3 days”, and was not matter of floor was dirty from the first day. Most needed things got from the reception. I could say thanks, but for sure it should be in the room from the beginning. Requested quiet room on booking and in the end somebody was building house next to the hotel. And get ready to listen azan 5 times per day pretty loud. Also the is no space to keep things like shampoo or others on the bathroom. Balcony was nice, nobody was cleaning the floor there while staying, but it supposed to. Also first cleaning was the 5th day. I guess ones in 3 days was accepted wrong, ones in 4-5 days usually. Floor wasn’t clean very well, seems nobody never washed the floor in the living room. Just changing towels and bedsheets. Also clean towels and bedsheets doesn’t mean very clean, always was somebody’s hairs on there. Comfortable location, there are few shops nearby so u always can buy some water, vegetables etc. Close to Taksim metro station. Only few days we saw the guy in reception who speaks English. Son of owners. Most of the time was people who wasn’t able to understand or speak English, it makes things a bit harder. But room was pretty light, with good curtains. They accept dollars, Turkish lira, Euro in reception . I didn’t make lots of pics (wasn’t sure if want to give a feedback, but can be useful). The plates on pic I took from kitchen of owner family to use. Mostly staying was ok, could be much better. Thanks.

On our first day, we arrived at the hotel and the room was full of flies. We asked to change rooms, which they did, but the rooms weren't as clean and tidy as they appeared in the pictures. The service from the reception was great; they were very helpful. However, I have a major complaint about what seems to be a scam they're running. On our last day, they brought our luggage down to reception. When our car arrived, they loaded all the bags, but one bag was left behind at the hotel. We only realized this when we got to the airport. We contacted them, and they casually said it happens often and they would send it by taxi. They then charged us 2000 Turkish Lira to deliver it. It seems they frequently engage in these kinds of scams. I definitely do not recommend this hotel. The only good thing about it was its location; otherwise, it's a no-go.

This hotel was truly in a fantastic location. My wife and I had a quick holiday getaway, and the staff's attitude was wonderful. It's within walking distance to the ferry terminal and the high-speed train station. I would genuinely recommend it to everyone I know, and it's definitely my top choice for all my future Istanbul trips.

Great location in the historic district, everything is within walking distance! Very polite reception staff: Gilfidan, Imamcan, Umut. We especially liked one lady whose name we didn't catch! Delicious breakfast with several types of cheese, omelets, boiled eggs, a large selection of fruits, vegetables – everything was tasty, including the pastries! The rooms are small. Our air conditioning wasn't working; we asked them to fix it, and it seemed to work for a bit, but then broke down again at night. Get a room with a balcony, otherwise, your clothes won't dry in the room. Other than that, everything was great! There are inexpensive restaurants nearby!

I met the kindest and nicest host while staying in Istanbul. They even upgraded my room and made my check-in time 2 hours earlier, and they welcomed me warmly. This was the first time I felt kindness among the Turkish people I met for 4 days. The room was also nice. The water pressure was strong! The room was really spacious.

Convenient location. Staff was helpful.

the guy at the reception is a gem , he is a very nice person, helpful and very professional. The room was big enough, very clean and have a view on the bosphore. very close to the tram station Cemberlitas. i will be back for my next trip to Istambul.
