4/10 Regular

Pera Bosphorus Hotel, Istanbul
I would not recommend this hotel despite its good location.
Cons:
Upon arrival, neither WiFi nor phone lines were working.
Breakfast on the rooftop is chaotic — it’s crowded with non-guests who come for the view, so expect long waits and no relaxing start to your day.
When I asked for an iron, they didn’t have one. After 24 hours of follow-ups, they said they had lent their irons to other hotels nearby, clearly to push their paid ironing service.
The rooftop restaurant doesn’t serve alcohol, only shisha — so you’ll be stuck eating while surrounded by heavy smoke.
At 3 AM, when checking out, the doorman insisted on calling their airport taxi, which cost me 400 TL extra because the meter was already running.
Staff seemed overworked and poorly trained. No sense of hospitality — never heard a single “welcome” or “enjoy your stay.”
Pros:
The A/C worked well.
Free bottled water.
Prime location.
In short: This place feels more like a busy rooftop restaurant with some rooms underneath, rather than a professional hotel.
