Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

10/10 Excellent
"Brilliant location to stay The staff were great and friendly The proximity of the hotel to the main strip with the Grand Bazaar on one side to the Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque and the Basillica Cistern. The metro stop is very close to the hotel. I stayed in this hotel last year in 2025 and now again in 2026. If I return to Istanbul, I will be staying at this hotel again. It nice and clean, and a brilliant hotel to come back to after a busy day in Istanbul!"

"Return to the late Ottoman Empire and imagine yourself freshly arrived from the Orient Express. Pera Palas commands instant relaxation and repose from the bustling city. A short drive to the old city with fantastic views from the higher floors and surrounded by lovely side streets with cafés and restaurants tucked down alleyways. The public rooms and guest rooms are beautiful. The history and grandeur of the hotel is surpassed only by the incredibly warm and gracious staff who make you feel a part of their family despite the ornate surroundings."

"We stayed 6nights at The Marmara Pera Hotel and the kids loved it. The staff were very professional, welcoming and helpful. Mustafa did a great job ensuring our rooms were clean, tidy and well maintained. The location is amazing, just 2mins away from Istiklal Avenue, and 10mins walk away from major landmarks like the Galata Tower and approx. 30-35mins from the Mosques. The views from the room were amazing with the large windows allowing for a great snapshot of the beautiful Istanbul landscape. Would highly recommend."
