Hotel in zona CMT ISI MARKET, Istanbul

Close proximity to the airport Sabiha. But at the exit from the airport building poorly organized signs with the direction of the way to the hotel. While I was looking for the way to the hotel I made several unnecessary circles. In addition, You have to take two elevators to the fourth floor. Spacious clean room with stylish design. On arrival, it was sweltering hot in the room with the temperature 26,5 °C. Windows don't open. The air conditioner failed to adjust to a cool temperature. At most I managed to get the temperature down to 25.5 °C. In doing so, the conditioner made a lot of noise. This negative moment spoiled the impression, as it did not let me sleep well. Perhaps this problem (Malfunction of the air conditioning system) was only in my room. One more advantage - 24 hours room service. Convenient, in case of a late arrival. Overall, it was a pleasant experience also thanks to helpful friendly staff.

This review is based on a recent 4 nights stay in this hotel. It is not a very positive review and will most likely be followed up by a response from the hotel, so it is up to you to consider who you would like to trust. I normally have a large degree of empathy when travelling and staying at hotels all over the world, but this hotel crossed definitely my threshold I had arranged a shuttle from the airport to the hotel and was provided with details as to where to locate the agent outside the arrival at the airport. Went to the designated “agent” who had a list of customers needing rides to the city. However, my name was not on the list and therefore waited 10-15 to see if perhaps there would an update or another “agent”. Let me add that I had my phone in airplane mode to avoid the ridiculous high tele and roaming charges in Turkey, perhaps a mistake on my part but I was not expecting any problem catching a ride. Should be very simple. When the “agent” never showed up, I arranged my own transport to the hotel, and this is where the “fun” starts. I was immediately met by an angry receptionist who claimed that I had never showed up as agreed which is a lie and continued to claim that I showed no respect and was lying. We “settled” his continuous claims by splitting the fare from the airport to avoid my hotel bill being charged for this. And now to the room: How on earth can anyone sane person construct a bathroom floor that tilts away from the drain causing a flood in the bathroom and the door and doorstep become rotten from guests showering. You are “graciously” provided with a swap to clear the water but it takes at least 5 mins to clear the significant amount of water accumulated on the floor. I am curious to know if the bathroom has a watertight membrane under the floor to avoid leaking below. Should the guest really be doing this - just wondering and to the lack of authorisations required to perform this type of work. Seems to be done by an amateur. There is a bad un-identifiable smell in the room, most likely caused by the regular floods in the bathroom and it is impossible to sleep with the windows open due to noise from the streets. On top of that, the room is so small that is it impossible to move around without hitting the bed, the cupboard or a chair. The wire for the bedside lamps are stitched together with electrical tapes causing a potential fire hazard Again done by an amateur. In summary, here is my evaluation of the hotel: Positive: Good location within walking distance to major sites and plenty of restaurants Negative: Un-reliable shuttle service Flooding bathroom floor Poor smell in room Dangerous electrical wiring which is a fire hazard Noise from streets and adjoining rooms

I personally liked this hotel very much. There were a lot of things that made my staying there comfortable and enjoyable. The staff speaks English very well, everybody’s warm and hospitable. Thanks a lot to Hasan from the front desk who was helping us with any questions we had. Also a masseur Erkhan Ali, who gave a wonderful massage. A waiter Umit, who speaks Russian, is a very polite and nice guy. Frankly speaking, every worker in the hotel is polite and nice. The room was clean every time we needed a cleaning, the staff offered us umbrellas when it was rainy. Any problem we had was solved quickly and efficiently. Talking about minuses, we didn’t like our room the first time. There was bad smell in the hammam and a view of a wall. But after we asked for changing the room, it was changed into a better one with no extra payment. And also the second room had a trouble with water and heating - the water in the bathroom was constantly changing between super cold and boiling, and the heater was blowing with cold wind instead of hot. But these were the only troubles we had. The restaurant is amazing, the view from it is gorgeous - Bosphorus, the Suleymaniye Mosque, the Hagia Sophia Mosque, Galata tower, the New Mosque and Topkapi Palace. I strongly recommend this place for staying. Hope to come back again next time!

L'hotel mi è piaciuto per la pulizia, il prezzo, la posizione da piazza Taksim e la metropolitana.

Un hotel eccellente, vicino alla piazza e a Istiklal Caddesi in pochi minuti, e tutti i servizi sono disponibili intorno ad esso, da ristoranti, negozi di alimentari o barbieri. L'auto entra e la zona è sicura e protetta. Tutto grazie allo staff dell'hotel del fratello Ibrahim Ma Qasr e il direttore dell'hotel, il signor Amrallah.. Grazie, grazie per il rispetto, l'attenzione e l'ospitalità. Ci hanno trattato come se fossero la loro famiglia... solo un piccolo ringraziamento... e un hotel che consiglierei a famiglie o singoli individui, e la colazione è disponibile. Torneremo, a Dio piacendo

Hotel e ostello allo stesso tempo molto belli Il personale è molto disponibile e rispettoso La pulizia è ottima e il prezzo è il migliore Ho preso una camera condivisa con colazione gratuita Le camere sono climatizzate e molto pulite Sul tetto dell'hotel è presente un'area salotto, da dove è possibile vedere Istanbul dall'alto e osservare l'area salotto La colazione è fantastica e ha molte opzioni Lo consiglio vivamente Ottimo prezzo, pulizia e posizione L'unico aspetto negativo era che la mia camera era sulla strada principale e i rumori delle auto erano un po' fastidiosi

I have booked at Pera orient hotel because it offers what I want from an hotel during my travels and the feedbacks were in its favor. Just after my booking was done I stumble on a negative review that was posted on trip advisor. I was worried about my choice. But when I went to Istanbul and stayed there, I felt compelled to share my own experience, which was entirely different and absolutely fantastic! I believe it's essential to give credit where credit is due. First of all , if you are seeking a resort , Pera Orient is not a resort and it never claims to be one! My stay at Pera Orient was comfortable and pleasant. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the friendly and attentive staff, who made their best to help me in every possible way and to answer my queries during my 5-day long stay. Their warm smiles and genuine willingness to assist truly set the tone for my stay. The location of the hotel is ideal. A 6 min walk from the hotel takes you to Taksim square where you can take the Metro or bus to reach your desired destination. And it allowed me to make regular daily walks on istikal street . The street is a little narrow yes, but there are plenty of hotels all around that I have never felt scared or unsafe ( as it was mentioned in the negative review). And I always took the upward direction then turn right towards taksim. I was greeted by a spotless clean room with a tasteful decor. The bed was incredibly comfortable, The housekeeping staff was attentive and meticulous, making sure that my room was impeccably cleaned each day. Coffee and tea were left daily next to the kettle (sometimes with a bottle of water). When I will visit Istanbul again , I will definitely chose Pera Orient to stay in.

I stayed in a Single Economy Room and chose it based on the booking description - 12 square meters. The room turned out to be very small and could hardly moved once in, worse when I had to open the luggage and get things to use. Room amenities were sufficient. Room and bathroom were clean, but room size description could have been more honest. English of staff was generally not good, except for one night male staff. They responded to questions but not in a particularly enthusiastic manner. It was difficult to get recommendations. Breakfast was reasonable and F&B staff were attentive.

La struttura era pulita e sicura, e il personale della reception era gentile. Bello anche il bar nella hall. Tuttavia, il tassista che mi ha guidato dall'hotel ha fatto molta strada per l'aeroporto ed era quasi in ritardo per il check-in in aeroporto e ha chiesto un costo aggiuntivo.

Beautiful looking hotel, great staff. The Location is not really the best but there was a huge mall 10min drive away. Taxis and public transportation is accessible but the traffic is crazy in this area. I stayed for 3 nights and I was moderately comfortable, there was a Strange smell in the room and I would blame the damp.. I don’t know if Turkey struggles with damp a lot but is seems like they do seeing that the last hotel I stayed in had the same problem. Besides this the hotel was nice, with a beautiful atrium. There was also a Chinese restaurant attached to the hotel building with very high priced food plus tax charges, I only had lunch there once and made sure to avoid it afterwards. The only thing I can say is the hotel is maintained well compared to what I have experienced in the past. I really appreciated the service when checking in, there was a person to help to with your bags and show you to your room and helps you connect to the Wi-Fi, this was a nice gesture. The hotel also has security with scanners which gives the guest a sense of real security, I liked this. There leisure centre was amazing, they have a great fully equipped gym free to used with staff. They also provide a personal trainer at an extra cost.
