Very nice Culinary Experience

“At the Pera Palace Hotel, dining is nothing short of really good. The Orient Terrace restaurant quickly became my favorite spot. I cherished my mornings there, sipping tea and indulging in their delicious eggs benedict, a perfect remedy for my hangover after a night out with friends. The ambiance was lively with live music serenading us on my last evening, enhancing the whole dining experience!” view full review

Relaxing Spa Experience

“Despite some initial disappointment with the pool being closed during my visit, the overall spa atmosphere at Pera Palace was relaxing and luxurious. The spa area is spacious, featuring a well-equipped gym that is truly a rarity in hotel environments. Although I couldn't use the pool, I appreciated the management's really good response to my concerns, offering complimentary afternoon tea as an apology. This level of service truly demonstrates their commitment to guest satisfaction.” view full review

Charming and Comforting Rooms

“The room I stayed in was beautifully designed and exuded charm, providing both comfort and elegance. Every detail was meticulously maintained, and cleanliness was evident from the moment I arrived. I especially loved the spacious bathroom, which was a good retreat after a long day of exploring the city. The combination of comfortable beds and stylish decor made it feel like a true home away from home.” view full review

Enchanting Afternoon Tea

“One of the highlights of my stay was the enchanting afternoon tea experience at Pera Palace. The grand Kubbeli Saloon offered a fine ambiance, elegantly decorated and filled with history. The buffet showcased an array of pastries, cakes, and Turkish specialties while a piano player provided a beautiful soundtrack. It was a magical experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to indulge in a slice of the hotel's rich heritage.” view full review

My stay at the Pera Palace Hotel was a good journey into its rich history, complemented by elegant decor and excellent service from the staff. While the grandeur of the hotel transported me to another time, I did face some challenges with noise disturbances during the night which slightly marred the experience. Overall, I had a nice stay, and the combination of the hotel's storied past and its comfortable accommodations makes it worth a visit.

Rooms

I stayed in the Greta Garbo room, which was beautifully appointed and had a luxurious feel. The private balcony offered stunning views, and the bed was ridiculously comfortable. However, I did notice some maintenance issues like a moldy smell in the shower that detracted from the otherwise high standard I'm used to.

Service

The service was generally really good, with staff going out of their way to assist. Levent, the night manager, truly stood out with his generous hospitality when I needed assistance late at night. However, I did encounter slightly rude service during check-in, which was surprising for such a prestigious hotel.
