Top Istiklal Avenue Hotel Reviews

Pera Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente ubicación !"

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this hotel is fantastic. Especially the concierge team who gave us the best experience with their information on where to go and how to get there and just their professional, friendly service. Special thanks to concierge team. Breakfast was a wonderful experience with a great variety and choice of food to suit all tastes. We will revisit this hotel again in the near future and will recommend to everyone thinking of visiting Istanbul. My only concern with this hotel is the geographical area in the city as we found it required taking a taxi to most places as walking around is difficult due to its location, however the views of the Bosporus are amazing so I suppose there must be a compromise."

"Good hotel, well placed just on the edge of the main Taksim strip - easy to walk into the pedestrian high street, but can still get a taxi straight up to the hotel. Close to all amenities. Clean, tidy, well looked after. Staff were incredibly warm, helpful & very diligent. Frequently visit Istanbul & would definitely visit this hotel again."
