The hotel is very well located, close to Taksim Square and a few minutes walk from Istiklal Avenue, which was amazingly convenient for us. Also there is a bus stop nearby, and lots of taxis. The room was small, but comfortable, we didn't spend much time there anyway, as we were out and about most of the time. We really liked the system where we could press a button and indicate not to be disturbed or ask for cleaning. The staff at reception were usually very nice and friendly and there was a lovely cat in the café area!

The bathroom could do with more ventilation and a shower screen, as there isn't a proper divide between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, so everything gets wet. Although we had breakfast included, we didn't eat there, we had a look at it and it just wasn't very appealing, it didn't look fresh. The coffee was very disappointing - the only option was instant coffee, which was not what we expected, and it was tasteless.

the most things I liked in hotel are staff, they were very friendly,kind and strive to meet the needs of the guests..😊 The location of hotel is great, directly on the main street, very close to transportation and Istiklal Street.. The room was beautiful with a panoramic view, clean and comfortable.. The breakfast buffet was very good, modest, but it enough for me..

Some notes were not of big deal for me, but I would like to mention them in order to improve performance..😊 - The elevator is very small Bathroom glass wall (you need privacy in the bathroom) - The hand wash basin in bathroom is small, it would be better if it was bigger - need an extra bath items (there was only shampoo) - Installing an electric socket on the coffee corner.

Comfortable room, spacious bathroom, nice view overlooking the city, good breakfast.

Area

The hotel's location is perfect; it is close to the city centre and within walking distance of Taksim Square. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, from the moment we arrived the manager went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We mentioned in passing that we were celebrating our daughter's birthday, and the manager suggested a fantastic restaurant which ended up being the highlight of our trip. Throughout our stay, the staff were always available to help with any requests, big or small, and they did so with genuine care. I'd like to mention a special thank you to Furkan, who helped organise the events for my daughter's birthday including a boat trip on the Bosphorus River. His attention to detail and dedication to ensuring every aspect of our stay was perfect truly made our trip memorable.

Ahmet attitude can't be beat, he helps in everything with a smile on his face always!!! Highly recommended

I enjoyed the company of the staff. Very friendly people who are open to help you enjoy your time in Istanbul. Throughout the day, they offer you complimentary Turkish tea and water to help you get through the day. The open air lobby helps brighten up your day with freshness as you enjoy your tea; allowing the city to join you. The main host Awws was superb 💕✨🇹🇷, loved chatting with him about the city and was so helpful.

That I had to leave 😘

"I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff (especially BERNA) was incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. I truly felt welcomed and well taken care of. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area."

I went to visit Istanbul with my girlfriend, in meantime fiance :D, and we stayed in this great hotel. Staff is very kind, polite and friendly and rooms are perfect for couples. Istiklal street is 5 minutes walk, very close but far enough from loud clubs at night. It is near road, however it was very calm traffic at night and there was no big problem for sleep for two of us, even though we love to sleep long :). Very good position for transfer with bus and 15 min walk from nearest tramvay station. Also very close to metro and Taksim square. I can surely recommend this hotel and we will come back for sure :)

Little bit sounds from other rooms but nothing special.

My stay at Golden Pera was amazing! The staff, especially Awws, were fantastic hosts, making my experience truly enjoyable. The hotel was cozy, and the in-room jacuzzi was the cherry on top. The location was perfect—everything was easily accessible, and Istiklal Street stayed lively and open until 3 AM. I had such a wonderful time that I’ve already booked the hotel again for March!

Breakfast could be better

nice interior, very comfy beds, wonderful view over the city, good location a few steps away from Taksim square

breakfast a bit small but very tasty!
