I typically do not leave review, but this hotel and stuff is just 10/10. Design, attitude, friendliness. All perfect. Whoever created this hotel is a pure genius. Perfect place to stay with friends for a few days to explore the city.
There is a nice hotel in Bominti, the receptions are so polite and responsible. Every thing is so chic and clean. The residence and hotel are both in one building.
Great place with awesome location and very attentive staff, very good breakfast and a neat restaurant. Comfortable rooms with marshall speakers and spacious beds. Cozy rooftop terrace with hand-picked vintage furniture and a modern twist. Very much consider coming back.
I had the distinct pleasure of being a guest at the Ikonik Istanbul for two weeks, as a New Yorker / Canadian - I have to say hands down the staff was incredibly kind and extreme gentlemen. Eager to take care of my every request small or extremely specific. As an interior designer I found that the rooms were tastefully furnished with modern hard loft, yet cozy vibes. As for the Turkish breakfast - if you haven’t experienced it - come without expectation of what it should be. A wide selection of fresh fruits, a great selection of delicious Turkish cheese and veggie spreads - I would highly recommend at least trying it once with a traditional cup of tea. As for the location, the soundproofed room I was in faced the Main Street where the infectious energy of the street left me eager to go out and discover the mixture of amazing restaurants, pubs, clubs, vintage clothing shops and so much more. What sticks with me the most is that I left there with the feeling that I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in Istanbul. The team works extremely well together to keep the property super safe, clean and ... feeling like a second home.
This is not a paid post - I rarely write reviews unless I feel they are earned. Give this hotel a try and I hope you walk away with the same feelings I did.
Excited to visit again. BRAVO.
A fabulous boutique hotel with modern industrial vibe. The location is convenient- it is tucked away near the Grand Bazaar and not too far from Galata Bridge.
Everything was perfect - bed comfortable , room quiet and the restaurant and room service were tasty. The prices were reasonable as well. The staff was helpful and kind. I even extended my stay here because I liked it so much. I am hoping to come back to stay in a few more days.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, the rooms were tastefully decorated, fairly good soundproofing considering the area.
The staff were great, very helpful and decent spoken English. Mehmet was particularly helpful and friendly. Good breakfast each morning. Stayed in the deluxe double with bath. Definitely a perk after such long days walking around the sights. The blue mosque amd ayasofya are practically on the doorstep. Fantastic location and well priced. Mini bar was not in use due to hygiene measures. Disposable masks available at reception. Overall, I would stay again
Excellent place to stay in the old city area of Istanbul, at only a walking distance from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and several other landmarks. The staff is extremely pleasant and the rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. Expect a personalized experience. The panoramic view of their terrace restaurant is simply amazing with the Blue Mosque on the one side and the sea of Marmara on the other. Highly recommended.
Great hotel tucked away in the old city.
If you are looking to get close to the hustle of the city but yet remain in a great hotel. This is the place. People were great and helpful.
I never ever recommend this “suits hotel ”. Services are much below the standard , as well as the reception, they don’t speak English and very hard to communicate with.
The location is poor
The breakfast is nothing but name and take them one hour to prepare, car cannot reach to the hotel. I booked 6 nights and decided to leave after 3 nights “they refused to give the money back.
The room is very comfortable and a good size. The shower is excellent. The staff (especially house keeping and janitorial) work really hard and do an excellent job! Most of the staff are very helpful and welcoming, though there are a few who seem to only pay attention to very wealthy guests. It is an upscale hotel, so very little is included with your nightly rate. The ladies pool is very nice, but you do have to purchase a swim cap from the hotel (20 TL for each person) before you are allowed to use it. So its not really included/free. I didn't try the spa or gym.
Amazing location, in the middle of the best neighborhood "Ortakoy". Plenty of restaurants and cafés are around. Rooms are so confortable, big and clean. The staff in the reception are really helpful and kind. I am really satisfied with my choice! And I would definetly come back to this address. Thank you
We've argued in December over dates amendment but finally we managed to get here to Sura Hotel for a 4 nights stay and we will never regret. Everything was excellent from location, room service, parking service, internet speed, to breakfast, snacks, dinner, roof top restaurant etc. They have the best lamb chops in town and we've tried few restaurants these days, trust me. The guys in the bar and restaurant are very friendly and professional and they speak 5-6 languages, especially Ali who was very helpful. I recommend the restaurant at the ground floor, with terrace and gas heating. Overall 5 stars out of 5. Thank you guys for the service.
I have so much good to say about Peradays.
My girlfriend and I for a total of 5 nights and loved every one of them. After traveling many cities in Europe and staying at various hotels, none compare to Peradays.
The rooms were perfectly sized and extremely clean. The sheets were very soft and the A/C worked very well in high heat temperatures.
They offered complimentary Turkish style breakfast which was very convenient and delicious.
What stood out the most was the hospitality and friendliness of the hosts, Bora and Murat. The communication was impeccable and very efficient. They kindly made recommendations on good restaurants, sightseeing and also offered to order us shuttles/cabs to help us with getting to/from the airport.
Overall it was a perfect experience and we will definitely stay again on our next trip to Turkey!
Best location for tourists staying in Istanbul since it is close to all the major landmarks. The staff were very friendly and breakfast was great despite covid restrictions.
The hotel is located in an old mansion, the building is restored good and looks nice. Although, the pool is small, it was very satisfying to swim with that magnificent view on the city. It is located in the historic district of Istanbul and many sites can be walked to. The negative part is that the hotel is surrounded by neighborhood resembling slums, there are a lot of abandoned houses, trash on the way, chicken farm nearby. All the roads to the hotel made me feel unsafe. The service and hotel stuff are friendly and nice.
A great place to spend a few days in Istanbul. If you value silence, tranquility, proximity to the center and a beautiful interior, then this is the place for you. The staff are very welcoming and always happy to help.
I do my best to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. I last updated it in February 2025. If you know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list, let me know. Click here to contact me. Thanks!
