Reviews
The staff smiled through gritted teeth. It was my daughter's birthday, and they didn't even congratulate me. I don't even want to return to this hotel.
One detail we really appreciated was the digital system for "Do Not Disturb" and "Tidy Up My Room"—a smart and convenient touch with lights outside the door. The security is top-notch, as access to our floor required a keycard. We felt very safe during our stay.
The location is stunning—you’re just a minute’s walk from the main street, yet the hotel is incredibly quiet. It's hard to believe you're in the heart of the city because you don’t hear any street noise at all.
And the breakfast? Absolutely beyond delicious! The selection was impressive, everything was fresh, and the breakfast staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help.
A big thank you to the entire team at Mukarnas Pera Hotel for making our stay so enjoyable. We’re definitely coming back!

Outstanding Stay – Highly Recommended!
I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel for six nights, and I can’t speak highly enough of the excellent service provided by the reception staff, especially Fatik and Yusuf. They went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable — from helping me with directions around Istanbul to assisting with room-related matters and ensuring I was connected to the internet. Their warm hospitality and willingness to help with anything I needed made a big difference.
The buffet breakfast was also fantastic, with a good variety and fresh options every morning. The housekeeping team was incredibly helpful and kept the room spotlessly clean throughout my stay. The room itself was super clean, comfortable, and nicely set up — I felt very much at home.
The location is absolutely perfect — everything you could need is right at your doorstep, from shops and cafes to transport and attractions.
I was extremely happy with my entire experience and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Istanbul and stay here.

It is a perfect place to stay if you want to be in the centre of the city.
Even the bathroom was so small
The bed was so tiny we couldn’t sleep normally with the stres if we fall to the ground in the middle of night.
The staff wasn’t friendly at all
The breakfast wasn’t tasty and it didn’t have option to choice
The walls were very thin we heard every noise outside our room
And this place was like burdelo there were a line of men’s waiting to get massage by two women’s
I can say that is not a place to go with your family
The only good thing was the internet
And that this motel was in the city center
Overall maximum grade.
For perfectionists you will probably always find many disadvantages, but if you want a hotel placed in a very good area, with a very good breakfast buffet, at a very good price and with a staff worthy of appreciation - I highly recommend this hotel.
I've been here for 3 days and I'll stay a few more days.
One mistake on the part of the receptionist (For which I have all the respect and I give it the highest grade for kindness) was that he passed me the POS payment note in Turkish lira instead of the euro conversion and initially I paid much less than I should have to pay.
They checked later and it was fixed immediately.
All respect for the reception and the people in the kitchen.
I read several reviews before choosing this hotel and many of the negative reviews are not true. The hotel has been renovated and is still being refurbished.
Grade 10 from me. I am convinced that the staff does everything possible to make you feel at home. 🇹🇷🇹🇩
