Orient Bar - Always a pleasant visit
Pros:

As a local of the city, I have not yet had the opportunity to stay at the hotel. However, every now and then when I want to have a relaxing day out, the Orient Bar is a delight to visit. Most recently had a chance to try some of their signature cocktails. They were delightful; thanks to Mr. Şevket for his suggestions.

Outstanding Service from Şevket Bey at the Orient Bar!
Pros:

Had the pleasure of spending some time at the iconic Orient Bar. While the atmosphere itself is amazing, what truly elevated our experience was the outstanding service we received from Şevket Bey.

His mastery of the menu is very impressive. He knows every detail inside and out and provided perfect recommendations tailored exactly to our tastes. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure his guests are happy.

If you are visiting Pera Palace, do yourself a favor and visit the Orient Bar. You will be in excellent hands with Şevket Bey. Highly recommended!

Class and calm
Pros:

Pera Palace is pure class. It’s old world charm adds calm to such a busy city.
It’s located near the Galata tower and main shopping area. We walked everywhere. It’s about 30-40 minutes on foot to old town.
The rooms are large and the beds very comfortable. The showers are good and the rooms spotlessly clean.
The place is a little tired but still elegant.

A historic hotel that has been tastefully modernised while maintaining it's character.
Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and couldn't fault the friendly attentive service we received through out our stay.
The hotel has been tastefully modernised, but retains a lot of it's original character, giving you that old world feeling.
We arrived in time for the afternoon tea, with an abundance of tasty sandwiches, cakes, and pastries. The choice was almost bewildering, and throughout there was an accomplished pianist playing. Old fashioned English afternoon tea - taken to another level! The breakfasts were equally good, and you could almost survive the whole day on what was available. The restaurant wasn't open in the evenings when we went, but the bar menu was comprehensive, with a mixture of local and European Dishes.
We were lucky enough to stay in the Agatha Christie Room, which was beautifully appointed. (They didn't have air conditioning in her day!!)
The concierge organised a Bosphorous boa t trip for us, with pick up and drop off back to the hotel. He was really helpful., and the trip was not on one of the really big trip boats, so well worth the extra.
The hotel is not far from local tram links, which we found was the best and cheap way of getting around. There are lots of bars and restaurants locally if you want to explore.
The only note of caution is that none of the tourist locations take Turkish Lira, so you have to pay by card. We managed to get rid of our Lira in duty free at the airpor.t Basically don't bother taking a lot of Lira with you. The largest denomination is 100 Lira which isn't worth a lot, so you potentially end up with a wadge of notes!
All in all, a wonderful experience that I would repeat!

Amazing Turkish bath and massage
Pros:

I had my first Turkish bath at the Pera Palace hotel, the entire team was amazing . It was such a wonderful experience, Pelin at reception was so kind and walked me through the entire process and went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable.
Lena did the actual bath and she was amazing! I had a massage after the bath that was also amazing. Lena knew exactly what she was doing and helped relieve some pain in my back!

Both Pelin and Lena are amazing, couldn’t recommend them enough!

History, Luxury & Outstanding Hospitality
Pros:

Pera Palace Hotel is truly one of the most unforgettable places to stay in Istanbul. The moment you walk in, you can feel the history and elegance surrounding you. Every corner tells a story, yet the comfort and hospitality are exceptional.

What made the experience even more special was the incredibly friendly and professional staff. A special thanks to the housekeeping team—they have two shifts, which means the rooms are always spotless and perfectly maintained throughout the day. Their attention to detail and genuine kindness made us feel truly welcomed.

Without a doubt, Pera Palace has earned a place on my list of top hotels in Istanbul. If you’re looking for a unique blend of history, luxury, and outstanding service, this is the place to stay. Highly recommended!

Cons:

Every thing from facility to staff and location
