Hotell nära Eminonu-piren

"We stayed in the Annex (which is not on the hotel premises but on the street) and got woken up by the generator going on and off in the mornings. Every time it started the lights in the room went fully on and the noice was intense since the generator was located in our Annex building. The staff says they were sorry about it but they didn’t offer any discount or anything else. The hotel is a bit worn down but still nice and it’s in a little quieter area of the old town. The breakfast was good too with a big variety. The ”spa access” included in the room was only 30 mins per day in a limited space so not all of the spa, for example no jacuzzi was part of the ”spa access included” which we had looked forward to. Staff was generally nice but a bit short and when my wife asked about changing her welcome drink from tea to a soda the staff was a bit unfriendly in his reply. It’s still a good hotel with nice rooms but we wouldn’t book it again. "

"Bra personalen"

"Amazing hotel and amazing service. Very good breakfast with a panoramic view. Super friendly staff. Perfect location to explore the old town, walking distance to all major attractions and transport. Good restaurants around. "

"The personal was nice, friendly and was helpful. The hotels front and lobby gives 5 star impression, the bed was really good. However the rooms was very noisy from the people in the lobby and corridor. Also every time someone showered or flushed in the neighbouring room you could hear it loudly. The temperature in the room was not possible to regulate and it was very warm during the nights. All that together resulted in not so good sleep and not so cheerful vacation. If you are planning to book this hotel for the spa, bring a thick wallet cause the jacuzzi itself costs 75$/person for 45 minutes. "

"Servicen är mycket bra på hotellet. Men själva hotellet behöver uppdateras. Möbler och dörrar i rummet är slitna, avskavd färg och trä. Lobbyn är oinspirerande. Frukosten är okej, dom har väldigt svårt att få till äggrätterna som beställs a la carte. Over all, lite för högt prissatt sett till kvalitén på hotell och rum. Men servicen är hög och alla är otroligt trevliga och hjälpsamma! OBS - butiken i hotellet säljer kopior av kända märken. "

"Perfekt läge, tristt frukost och lite skojare i receptionen "

"The Peninsula Istanbul is an excellent hotel. The wings maintain a high classical standard, but the main building with the reception area would benefit from an update. Service by the pool is outstanding, especially from one of the staff members from Hong Kong who studied at a hotel program in Switzerland – the service level was truly exceptional. The breakfast staff were very friendly, but service was slow despite the restaurant not being full. The rooms were good, as was the gym, although the hotel lacks some machines for abdominal and back training, and the treadmills need to be replaced. The indoor pool and spa facilities are of the highest standard. Overall, The Peninsula Istanbul is a hotel that can definitely be recommended."

"We had a great experience at Mest Hotel. Location and everything else was great at the hotel. But most importantly all the staff from reception, cleaning, breakfast area, room service all of them was very professional and super friendly!!! We really felt like home. Could ‘t be better. Would definitely stay at Mest Hotel again. Only downside for us was that families more than 3 persons cannot book rooms with sea view since they are to small. "

"We stayed at Decamondo Galata for five days with our family. Overall, I would rate our experience a 6 out of 10. The hotel certainly has charm and history—housed in a building over 1,000 years old, which adds a unique character. However, the age of the structure also means that soundproofing is lacking. We stayed on the third floor, directly beneath the restaurant, and unfortunately, we could hear noise from above throughout our stay. The sound of the staff door opening and closing early in the morning, as well as chairs being moved in the evening, disrupted our rest. Additionally, the cot provided for our four-year-old son was too small, which made sleeping arrangements challenging. The king-size bed was also not very comfortable, which further impacted our overall rest. On the positive side, breakfast was enjoyable, and the location is excellent—just a short walk to Galata Tower and close to the metro. The staff were friendly and welcoming, both at reception and in the restaurant. However, the restaurant team did seem understaffed at times, which led to delays during breakfast service. While there were definitely some positives, the noise issues and lack of comfort made it difficult for us to fully enjoy our stay. Unfortunately, we would likely look for alternative accommodation if visiting Istanbul again."
