Pros:

Das Frühstück ist eine Sensation! und ein wichtiger Satz wird in diesem Haus erlebbar: Man kann vieles kaufen oder synthetisieren - aber Tradition und Geschichte nicht. Beides ist auf hohem Level spürbar - bei zeitgemässem Hotelkomfort. Ein Martini Cocktail in der Orient Bar befeuert die Fantasie an Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie und die "Revolution" Kemal Atatürks.

A wonderful indulgence in a memorable city.
Pros:

This is a really superb hotel, on a par with the very best we've stayed in. We took the (NW corner) Pierre Loti suite for four nights - there was plenty of room, the furnishings were opulent, the bed was really comfortable, the bathroom exceptional and the views were very good. The hotel and all its facilities were spotless and the staff were very kind. The breakfasts were great.

Cons:

We thought the restaurant dinners were just a little below the otherwise superb standard. And of course, the hotel is expensive to stay in, but that is to be expected!

A Living Legacy of Elegance, Heritage and Human Warmth
Pros:

Pera Palace Hotel is one of those rare places where history, elegance, and genuine hospitality come together effortlessly. From the moment we arrived on 23 October 2026, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. Our luggage was promptly taken care of. Thank you for your outstanding customer service.

Our room featured a beautiful balcony overlooking the Golden Horn, providing a view we thoroughly enjoyed throughout our stay. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and the entire hotel is exceptionally well maintained. Every corner reflects the charm and grandeur of a bygone era, creating a unique atmosphere that makes Pera Palace truly special. Special thanks to the housekeeping team for their hard work and attention to detail.

We enjoyed dinner at Agatha Restaurant, where both the food and service were excellent. Our sincere thanks to the restaurant staff and chefs for delivering such a memorable dining experience.

One of the highlights of our visit was the opportunity to ride the hotel's historic elevator, the first electric elevator in Turkey and one of the oldest functioning electric elevators in Europe. Experiencing this piece of living history was a privilege.

We had a guided tour of Room 101, now the Atatürk Museum Room, led by Esma. Her deep knowledge of the hotel’s history, engaging storytelling, and willingness to answer our questions brought the museum to life. Esma’s professionalism, passion, and friendliness make her a tremendous asset to Pera Palace. It was a pleasure meeting her.

Pera Palace is a truly magical destination, not only because of its remarkable architecture and rich heritage, but because of the people who bring it to life every day. The dedication, warmth, and professionalism of the staff consistently exceeded our expectations.

Cons:

Nothing, everything is just perfect. :)

We really enjoyed our stay.
Pros:

Room service was always there when needed.
Staff was very polite and helpful.
Really liked the facilities provided.
Beautiful classic style.

Cons:

Room for improvement: Jacuzzi and swimming pool were not as warm as expected. But I think there was someone trying to fix it after we mentioned it.

A Beautiful Glimpse into a Bygone Era
Pros:

Great location, beautiful building with a nice touch of history, top personnel. I loved the mandarine scent of the bathroom products.

Cons:

The air conditioning had its limits, and the room was too warm (even in November). The windows are perfectly soundproof, but when we opened them to cool the room down, the noise from outside became unbearable.

What I really didn’t like, however, had nothing to do with the hotel itself, but rather with some of its guests.

I am writing this here for future guests to reflect on: you may be wealthy enough to afford a stay in a place like this, but if you behave as though you own the place, showing no respect for its heritage, its staff or your fellow guests, you are not demonstrating your wealth. You are exposing your intellectual and moral poverty.

Pros:

Разкошен хотел. Изисканост, лукс , почувствах се като част от аристокрацията на Ориент експрес :) . Стаята беше огромна и с всички необходими неща за един изключителен комфорт. Персоналът е много любезен , гостите на хотела могат да посетят безплатно апартамента (превърнат в музей) на Ататюрк и асансьора. KUBBELI LOUNGE има невероятна атмосфера. Много добро местоположение.

Cons:

Водата в басейна и джакузито беше студена.

Обязательно нужно посетить и пожить пару дней, но для длительного проживания не очень.
Pros:

Исторический флёр, интерьеры, картины, фотографии, экспозиция исторических артефактов, старинный лифт, наличие музея, отличный СПА, доброжелательный персонал. Было очень приятно увидеть комплимент от управляющего в виде красиво оформленного набора десертов. Заселение прошло раньше регламентного срока, спасибо команде ресепшен! В номерах очень чисто и уютно. Прокатили на ретро-лифте-СПАСИБО! Это было здорово! Много мест для классных фото.

Cons:

Вечером немного шумно (рядом в клубе отмечали Хелуин), но терпимо.
Очень-очень плохой WIFi интернет, для гостиницы в таком ценовом диапазоне это недопустимо. Впервые столкнулись с таким низким качеством гостиничного Wifi (связь неустойчивая, несколько раз в день приходится перерегистрироваться).
Шумно работает климат-контроль в номере, плохо настраивается,
розетка у прикроватной тумбочки (N520)не держит вилку зарядки телефона (чтобы подключить телефон, нужно отключить светильник), но учитывая возраст отеля- это мелочи.
В ресторане на завтраках столкнулись с путаницей, не смотря на наличие карточек для фиксации заказа (из трех заказов- три раза ошиблись и приготовили не то).
На завтраках отметили для себя, что персонал ресторана на вид какие-то уставшие и замученные. Несколько дней до Пера Палас жили в другой гостинице- там по утрам на завтрак царила атмосфера праздника и заряжала позитивом на весь день (встречали с улыбкой, предлагали напитки, внимательно обслуживали). Здесь два дня по утрам, к сожалению, было не так. Хотя набор блюд/продуктов и выбор неплохой.
На второй день не было каши на завтрак (только суп), если ребенок привык есть на завтрак кашу-нужно быть готовым).
Еще столкнулись с забавным случаем, вечером в баре к коньяку хотели заказать шоколад, но его не оказалось, не смотря на наличие десертного кафе рядом, и ежедневного обновления шоколадок в номерах))

Indimenticabile.
Pros:

Quando entri in Hotel passi dal caos del traffico di Istanbul in un mondo ovattato, di altri tempi. Sembra veramente di viaggiare nel tempo. Il soggiorno stesso è una tappa imprescindibile del viaggio.

19세기로 잠시 돌아간 느낌을 즐겨본 여행
Pros:

Taxim 광장에서 기깝고 1km이내에 M2 정류장이 있어 관광과 귀국시 교통 편리함 호텔에서 조식을 이용하지 않았는데 근처에 아칭식사 할곳이 넘 많아 오히려 다양한 선택이 가능해 좋았음. 오리엔트 특급, 아가사 크리스티등 역사를 지닌 고전적인 호텔이라 숙박해 보는 것 자체가 재미있는 경험이 됨, 호텔에서 탁심광장, 이스트랄거리로 가는 길에 아기자기한 가게가 많아 이 또한 관광거리. .아침식사 추천- Books coffee 조용하고 예쁜 가게.
호텔의 애프터눈 티 타임도 좀 비싸긴 하지만 경험해 볼만함

Cons:

1. 아무래도 역사를 가진 호텔이다 보니 시설은 현대적인 편리함은 좀 떨어짐
2. 위치가 옛부터의 번화가 중심이라 소란함 그래도 밤엔 커튼을 삼중으로 치고 자면 숙면 가능
