We have just stayed at Hotel Grand Peninsula for four nights. The staff, especially Sabo, were excellent as far as suggesting restaurants in the area, places to visit and assisting with directions. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. Everyone we encountered spoke English well which was a great help to us. The hotel is located a short... More

This is a moderately priced (for Istanbul) hotel which had everything that we needed: VERY central and convenient location (though on a quiet street - i.e. best of both worlds!), clean rooms, good hot shower, hot water pot, refrigerator, safe deposit box (small and key-operated), and good service. Ramazan (day) and Sabo (evening) were very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. Ramazan... More

Nice little hotel very near Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia and tram line. Dozens of restaurants just around the corner. Friendly staff and nice breakfast on the rooftop which has a view of the Bosphorus. Room was pleasant but no tea, coffee, bottled water or shampoo in the room. We were given an upgrade in room but it overlooked... More

We stayed six nights in April. It is two minutes walk from the main sights. The hotel is in a quiet area tucked away down a little sidestreet. No frills, but very clean with a good turkish breakfast of yoghurt, fruit, salad, cheeses and rolls. Ramazan and his staff were very friendly and helpful and arranged all airport transfers etc....

We stayed in this great little hotel for 4 nights. It was good value for the money, breakfast was good, and the roof-top breakfast room had a nice view of the Bosphorus. Like all hotels in this area at this price range, the rooms are not large, nor are the bathrooms, but everything was clean and fresh. Staff were helpful... More

Tucked away on a little side street between the Sea of Marmara and the Blue Mosque/Hagia Sophia, the hotel had a delightful location for a day's worth of sightseeing in that area. My main complaint though, is that from this area, it is relatively hard to get to/from other sights and the best nightlife/restaurants, which are across the Golden Horn.... More

Had a great stay here in March. First, the staff arranged an airport pickup which went very smoothly. Then checked me in with friendliness and ease. The room (especially bathroom) was impeccably clean, the rooftop terrace is beautiful, and the breakfast staff was very sweet--it was wonderful to wake up to lovely views of the city and pleasant people. The... More

The hotel is located very close to the Blue Mosque and with many attractions within walking distance. The hotel is reasonable priced and you get pretty much what you pay for - a very standard and clean room. We had a room with private balcony which we can recommend although there is a common rooftop terrace as well. Breakfast is... More

The hotel is located in a great area with a terrace view of the water during good weather. Our room was small, but comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was excellent and English was spoken which helped with recommendations of things to see & how to get there. We highly recommend this hotel for your visit to Istanbul.
