Hotel in zona DOSTLUK PARKI, Istanbul

As a solo female traveller who stayed here for nearly 2 weeks, I would have to say this is the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Istanbul. It’s in a safe, quiet and convenient location - 5 mins walk away from Osmanbey Metro station. It’s located in the heart of Nişantaşı. There are plenty of local cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, etc. around. It’s 5 mins walk away from Lotus Walk mall, a few blocks away from City’s Nişantaşı mall and 1-4 stops away from the main tourist sites. I also appreciate the beautiful architecture and design of the hotel. From the moment I walked in, I noticed the classy and modern design - from the walls, to the furniture, the lighting and it smells so good too! It’s a new hotel so it’s super clean and the housekeeping ladies are extremely efficient, very polite and do an amazing job everyday. The staff are all very friendly, accommodating and truly the epitome of Turkish hospitality. I can’t wait to come back to Istanbul and stay here again! Hopefully, the restaurant will be open by then - all the best to the Noble Pangaltı family! 😊

Mir hat dieses Hotel sehr gut gefallen, denn wenn man das Hotel betritt, ist das Personal sehr aufmerksam und freundlich und man merkt, dass ihnen die Sauberkeit ihrer Zimmer sehr am Herzen liegt. Die Lage ist perfekt, die U-Bahn-, Bus-, Minibus- und Taxihaltestellen sind nur 2 Gehminuten entfernt. Im Badezimmer gibt es alles von Shampoo, Duschgel, Handtüchern und Hausschuhen. Ich denke, ich werde diesen Ort immer wählen.

L'hotel ha superato tutte le aspettative! Situato a pochi passi dai trasporti pubblici, Istiklal Caddesi. C'è sempre una piacevole musica nella hall, la camera è grande e pulita, appena rinnovata, cassaforte, frigorifero, comoda posizione del condizionatore (non soffia sul letto). Il bagno è molto pulito, buona pressione, c'era sempre acqua calda! La colazione è generalmente monotona, ma tutto è delizioso, sempre uova sode, su richiesta verrà preparata una frittata o uova strapazzate, diversi tipi di formaggi, olive nere, verdure, insalata di verdure fresche, pasticcini, cereali per la colazione, succhi di frutta, tè, caffè, latte, frutta anguria, fragole, ciliegie, marmellate di vario tipo. Pulizia perfetta ovunque!!!! Personale molto gentile ed educato!

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.

Central House Istanbul galata stay was one of my favourite memories while in istanbul. The most best part is the quality of the morning breakfast that makes your stay. Amazing experience. I would love to book again if the price remains affordable. The view from the roof top is also amazing. I have attached some photos. Thanks.

Easy to check in and out. Nice place to stay around the Yeditepe University.

The staff were very helpful particularly Ahmed ( Duty Manager Reception) and Beliz ( Guests Relations) and Katia ( Gym). The hotel was opened just 18 days when we arrived. There were a couple of “snagging’ issues, which were dealt with really quickly. The vegan buffet breakfast is the best I have ever eaten. I have a the few recipes and ideas for when I get home. Thanks Muhammad for the marinated tofu recipe. The gym is also very well equipped. Lots of cardio machines, weights including 20kg Olympic bars with various sized plates (15,20kg), 5 different boxing bags. There is also a class timetable and Stand Up Paddle Boarding. The gym staff are AMAZING; really know their stuff. The location is fantastic. Only a ten minute bus ride into the old time. We had a fab time.

L'hotel è il più vicino al tram Sultanahmet. È raggiungibile a piedi, ma per arrivarci la prima volta avrai bisogno di un'app per le mappe perché dovrai proseguire lungo la strada principale. Tutto il personale, dai proprietari uomini e donne al personale del banco, è molto cordiale e cerca di comunicare attivamente con gli ospiti. La colazione era a buffet, con piatti turchi e alcuni piatti cinesi, ed era deliziosa. Tè (cay) e caffè vengono serviti su richiesta, ma personalmente il caffè latte era davvero delizioso. Tuttavia, il tipo di cibo fornito è stato lo stesso per tutti e 3 i giorni, quindi dovresti prenderne nota se rimani a lungo. I servizi in camera avevano tutto il necessario, soprattutto il mini-frigo. Per fortuna, tutte le nostre richieste sono state soddisfatte durante il nostro soggiorno. Tuttavia, nel caso di mia moglie, ha detto che il sistema di scarico del WC aveva un cattivo odore. Penso che tu debba controllare una volta.

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
