Istanbul Hotel Guide - New Mosque hotels in Istanbul, Türkiye.

"The guest relations, reception team and housekeeping are 2nd to none. They were very welcoming, helpful and make sure that your stay is perfect. Special thanks to Hikmet and Samet who came to my rescue when I needed help and they really are a credit to the hotel. The hotel is in a great location, great facilities and and a short walk (few minutes) to Hagia Sophie, the Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern"

"Hotel was clean, was in a wonderful location, and the staff was helpful (although English challenged). Hotel was quiet and very clean. Surrounded by wonderful restaurants. Breakfast was extensive and although not to OUR tastes was well liked by all other guests. Had a heating problem with our room which was fixed by the next night. Would certainly stay again. Suggestion: Do NOT book the night dinner cruise on the Bospherous. Bad food but good entertainment. Expensive. Take a day cruise instead. We booked an official Turkish guide through the hotel and were very satisfied with him and official Turkish guides are highly regulated and VERY knowledgable. In all of our travels on the Med. we liked Istanbul the best over Rome, Barcelona, Lisbon (although all of those are world class cities). NOTE: Change money in Turkey. Evidently everybody does and the exchange rates are MUCH better than we got with our bank and there appear to be currency exchange kiosks with 4 on every block. Almost everybody LOVES dollars or Euros but carefully note the exchange rate that merchants are giving. Turkey appears to be a bargaining culture and tips are appreciated although not expected. We found Turkish merchants to be persistent but NOT objectionable. Turkey is NOT a touching culture. Arrange airport pickup through the hotel. The "new" Istanbul airport is large and modern with a LOT of walking and poor English signage. Note that Turkey is not an EU country with significant passport procedure"

"Excellent hotel and great courteous service. My only peeve is that though it is a nice area but at 3/4 of a kilometer away from shopping areas. "

"The Pera Palace is a ten out of ten. The staff is super friendly. I loved the rose tea ant check-in. Emma, the concierge, was so friendly and showed me to my room. We took the antique elevator. I enjoyed that very much. The room felt like home with nicely framed and paintings, graceful furniture, heavy curtains and an antique rug. The bedding was soft with an embroidered pillow case and the bed was quite comfortable. I liked the turn down service in the early evening. A friendly fellow would knock on the door and hand me chocolates. There were some very nice healthy dried fruit snacks and small pastries in the room. The place is part museum and the cafes and parlors were superb. I now have some very fond memories of Istanbul. Tekim at check out did a perfect job and the bellman Kemal was very helpful."

"Staff were excellent. Breakfast was phenomenal with lots of tasty local options. Room was very spacious and beds were very comfortable. Lots of hot water. Location is perfect for local attractions e.g blue mosque and hagia sophia"

"Amazing Ottoman era lounge welcomes you upon arrival with a Turkish tea and a small treat. The hotel is beautiful! Staff is friendly and give recommendations for your stay. Breakfast on the rooftop offers views of the city and water! You can spend time exploring the hotel just as much as the city. It’s located very near the train for ease of access to sites around the city. Highly recommend this hotel! "
