Hotels near Galata Whirling Dervish Hall

"Great"

"Great location, clean and kind staff. The only issue for me is that when I checked-in they told me that I was upgraded from city view to sea view…they should have said downgraded to open rooftop club view facing my window playing very loud music from 9:30pm to 12:30 every night! Very unfortunate, bad sleep for 3 nights. "

"We had a wonderful stay at the Pera Palace. The sense of history is remarkable, and from the moment you arrive, the hotel exudes timeless elegance. While some may describe it as having an “old” feel, we found it to be more of a refined, classic charm—rich in character rather than dated. We were fortunate to receive an upgrade to a room with a balcony overlooking the Bosphorus. The views were truly stunning, especially at sunset and into the evening, when the city takes on a magical atmosphere. The Orient Bar is an absolute must, and the tea room is equally exceptional—both experiences that beautifully reflect the hotel’s heritage and sophistication. Although we spent a few nights in the Sultanahmet area, we found the Pera Palace’s location on the Galata side to be far more appealing, with easy access to excellent restaurants and vibrant nightlife. Without question, this will be our hotel of choice on our next visit to Istanbul. "

"We woke up late for breakfast but after speaking with a manager, we received food in the room and it was excellent! The staff is accomodating which is much needed especially when you are coming for the first time. "

"We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very helpful and courteous. The amenities are lovely. The food is excellent. The view of the river is beautiful and can be seen from the restaurant at breakfast and dinner, It’s a short walk to the tram. We liked the tranquil escape it gave us from the bustle of Istanbul. The courtesy and etiquette of the staff is world class. We are grateful to them. Many thanks for making our stay wonderful."
