Hotel in zona Shrine Of Zoodochus Pege-Balikli Kilise, Istanbul

My friend and I were staying at Mount Ararat Hotel for three nights. We were welcomed by friendly and helpful staff. Even though we barely stayed in our room, the room had everything what we needed after a long day outdoors. The beds were very comfortable, the place was clean and so was the bathroom. There were a lot of restaurants nearby and during the evening the neighbourhood became very lively with locals and tourists. We were happy that after a tiring day we could grab some food and drinks with our hotel in the close proximity. On our last evening Saleh helped us arranging the transport to the airport which was top-notch! On the other hand, we had an arrangement with breakfast included and it was slightly disappointing. It was buffet with various choices of food and drinks but my friend and I are a little bit fussy. We preferred to grab something on our way to the city centre. It is not a deal breaker though. All in all, good value for money. We were satisfied about our choice and would definitely come back.

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

La posizione geografica dell'hotel è molto eccellente. Sono stati trovati Starbucks McDonald's e vari piatti locali sottostanti, tra dieci minuti a piedi dalle attrazioni e stazioni della metropolitana della vecchia città. L'ambiente dell'hotel è pulito, il servizio è entusiasta, la notte è molto tranquilla, ci sarà la voce della metropolitana, ma non influenzerà il riposo, il rapporto costo-beneficiario, molto soddisfacente esperienza, raccomandare alle persone che giocano di rimanere

La posizione è ottima e tranquilla: si trova a pochi passi dalla stazione di Sirkeci, luogo nevralgico per i trasporti ad Istanbul. A piedi si raggiungono Sultanhamet ed il porto con una piacevole passeggiata. La salita per arrivare all'hotel sarà di circa 30-40 metri dalla strada principale: con bagagli pesanti può essere un po' difficoltoso. Camera pulita, arredata con gusto, letto King size comodo, bagno ampio, prodotti di qualità forniti in dispenser. Set per preparare tè e caffè ed una bottiglietta di acqua ciascuno per ogni giorno di permanenza. Il cambio delle lenzuola è avvenuto dopo due notti mentre gli asciugamani sono stati cambiati quotidianamente. È vero che nella biancheria da bagno si sente odore di cloro ma lo considero un elemento a favore. La colazione è di ottima qualità molto varia, sia salata che dolce. Il caffè della macchinetta non era di mio gusto molto buono invece quello preparato nel dispenser. Arredamento della reception e della sala colazioni di design, moderno e confortevole. Alla reception abbiamo trovato persone preparate e disponibili. Baris al check out è stato gentile e veloce nelle operazioni. Il prezzo pagato è molto conveniente e mi sento di consigliarlo. Segnalo solo due piccoli inconvenienti: il giorno del nostro arrivo abbiamo trovato nel frigo della camera un prodotto del precedente ospite la considero una dimenticanza così come l'assenza delle bustine di tè che abbiamo richiesto e ci sono state prontamente fornite. Ritengo siano errori rimediabili e giustificabili dalla recente apertura (marzo di quest' anno) e dalla necessità di mettere a punto l'organizzazione. Se posso permettermi un suggerimento: è la prima volta che vado in un hotel dove la reception è lontana dall'ingresso da cui si accede subito all'ascensore per le camere: è vero che è necessario usare la carta della camera per far funzionare l'ascensore ma sarebbe a mio avviso opportuno presidiare in altro modo l'ingresso.

La struttura è molto attraente, si trova a pochi passi dalla notte, a pochi passi dalla notte, a pochi passi dalla notte, a pochi passi dalla notte, a pochi passi dalla notte, a pochi passi dalla notte. Abbiamo prenotato senza colazione. Se sei arrabbiato - poi una piccola salsa, ma per il centro storico - è caratteristico.

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.

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.

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.

The only negative I had was the room not being ready till 1900. We arrived at 1800 and check in was from 1400. The family room. We had was good as was the pool for the kids. Reception and front lobby staff did speak English too. The location of the hotel is great very close to taksim and istiklal st. Surrounded by restaurants. We enjoyed the daily breakfast too. It had a good variety. A very special thank you to Nida from guest relations who came and spoke to us personally topped off a very good stay.

Molto felice del mio soggiorno! La camera era pulita e confortevole. Lo consiglierei sicuramente
