"As a hotel executive in New York City, I am a big fan of Turkish hospitality. No country can beat Turkish hospitality and service culture. My room was modest and clean. Everyday cleaning service and clean towels were making me feel so happy once I was back to my hotel room. Every day, 1 liter of complimentary Turkish mineral water was a simple, polite amenity. I did not get a chance to use the rooftop breakfast, however. The Pera district offers tons of great restaurant and cocktail bar options. Mahir Lokantasi ( gourmet's favorite) was also tasty and authentic. We will be back in August for another trip!"

"We're love to stay in this hotel, it's clean, best customer service, well maintained, also it's good deal"

"Super quiet location yet super central. You can walk to Sultanhamet square in 6 mins and 10 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. Breakfast was amazing too. And the staff is very nice! "

"The concierge staff was excellent thank you"

"Cleaning is zero, I stayed 5 days room never been cleaned. Breakfast buffet was horrible and dirty (there was hair on scrambled egg which they put on buffet). Automatically you are getting negative vibes on breakfast area."

"We had a wonderful stay at the Pera Palace. The sense of history is remarkable, and from the moment you arrive, the hotel exudes timeless elegance. While some may describe it as having an “old” feel, we found it to be more of a refined, classic charm—rich in character rather than dated. We were fortunate to receive an upgrade to a room with a balcony overlooking the Bosphorus. The views were truly stunning, especially at sunset and into the evening, when the city takes on a magical atmosphere. The Orient Bar is an absolute must, and the tea room is equally exceptional—both experiences that beautifully reflect the hotel’s heritage and sophistication. Although we spent a few nights in the Sultanahmet area, we found the Pera Palace’s location on the Galata side to be far more appealing, with easy access to excellent restaurants and vibrant nightlife. Without question, this will be our hotel of choice on our next visit to Istanbul. "

"Excellent breakfast with amazing variety. Staff very accommodating "

"Thank you for being so kind to me everything was great!"

"I had an amazing 3-night stay at Swissôtel The Bosphorus in Istanbul. From the moment I arrived, everything exceeded expectations. The room was incredibly comfortable—perfect for relaxing after long days exploring the city. The staff truly made the experience special. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful, and it was great that almost all of them spoke English, which made everything seamless. A special thank you to Öznur in the Executive Lounge for her outstanding service—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Her manager, Emre, was also incredibly friendly and attentive. I also opted for the breakfast package, and it was absolutely worth it. The breakfast selection was fantastic and a great way to start each day. Overall, a top-tier experience. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul."
