Disliked: Cleanliness
I only went there one morning and that was not many options what to eat or drink and there was no easy very small area people will come down to eat, and there was no tables available so they’ll go back upstairs
it was a very pleasant stay, even for one night only, and the comfortable atmosphere of the Pera style with the beautiful view over the pedestrian Taxim area was a plus.
First we got a room on the second floor, and that was too much noise from the street. We couldn’t sleep well. I requested to change my room, and they gave me a room on the sixth floor. The room was so hot and I have been told that I can use furnace and not AC. I expected to have breakfast at rooftop, but they moved it to basement which was so small and without fresh air. The staff was very friendly and kind. The lobby was nice which give you a very nice and awesome atmosphere. The location is perfect, but I am not sure that I want to stay there another time.
The hotel was ok. Good location. Nice staff. The negative side is that the room smelled like smoke(cigarrettens) and the air condition was very old. No cold air, only hot.
In the middle of Taksim ,actually very close to everything needed, restaurants shops mini market and the most important 2 min walking distance to Istiklal street where all the shops and everyone who visit istabul will definitely pass by to spend sometimes over there
