Istanbul Hotels with Gym

A wonderful, new hotel with a convenient location. The street is quite quiet, the Bosphorus is nearby, and so is the Galata Tower. There are many cafes and cozy restaurants around, plus a pharmacy and a fruit shop within walking distance. The staff are simply amazing – check-in was fast, they were friendly, and room cleaning was top-notch. The rooms are bright with good soundproofing. They had everything except bathrobes: a garment steamer, kettle, cups (though no teaspoons), a fridge, safe, slippers, and so on. The toiletries were of good quality and had a pleasant scent. Highly recommend!

The Pera Palace Hotel is like a vintage edition. Commissioned in 1892 and opened in 1895, it was designed by the French-Ottoman architect Alexander Vallaury. Its original purpose was to provide luxurious accommodation for Orient Express VIPs, earning it the reputation as Turkey's oldest European-style hotel. It was the first electrified building outside the Ottoman imperial palace and the only place in the city to offer hot water, boasting Istanbul's first electric elevator. **Key Historical Guests:** * **Mustafa Kemal Atatürk:** Stayed multiple times starting in 1917. Room 101, where he made important decisions, has now been converted into a museum displaying his belongings. * **Agatha Christie:** A frequent guest from 1926–1932. Room 411 is famously where she wrote ******* on the Orient Express* and is preserved today as a themed room. Other notable guests include Hemingway, Churchill, Edward VIII, and Hitchcock, making it a social hub for the era's elite. The bedding is comfortable, and the location is convenient. I was inspired to visit after watching the Turkish series *Pera Palace*, and I highly recommend it. Both breakfast and dinner were excellent and refined.

The hotel's location is a bit far from the Old Town, and the room was on the small side. However, it was very clean and provided disposable slippers. They offer free parking and the breakfast is purely Western, with limited variety but enough to fill you up. The price isn't particularly cheap.

The hotel, the atmosphere, the service, breakfast, dinner, the spa, the pool – EVERYTHING was just super, top-notch. I always want to come back.

This is our second time staying at this hotel. We chose it for its location (the Galata area is our favorite) and stylish design. The first time, the hotel made an excellent impression. This time, we didn't book in advance; we made the reservation directly at the hotel, which might be why the room was cleaned in a hurry. Upon entering, we found a clump of hair on the floor. The toilet flush button was cracked. And when I looked up, I saw a dead fly inside the lamp shade. But these minor issues didn't spoil our stay. Last time, we had breakfast – it was quite varied and everything was fresh.

Everything was great and excellent Metro Access: The hotel is a convenient 9-minute walk (about 420 meters) to the Osmanbey Metro Station. This links you directly to Taksim Square, Nişantaşı, and historic sites Neighborhood: Situated in a trendy area surrounded by popular cafes, local restaurants, a pharmacy, and supermarkets. Taksim Square and Istiklal Avenue are just a 5-minute drive away. Airport Transit: It takes roughly 38 minutes to reach Istanbul Airport. An airport shuttle service can be arranged via the front desk for an extra fee.

Great appartments, wonderful facilities around the hotel compound. Found the cleaning staff in particular to be very helpful and friendly, specifically Sebahat and Nurgyl. When I noticed that the bedroom window was a little dusty they very cheerfully went and got everything needed to clean the windows there and then and they did it with a smile. Lovely to see and thank you!

We wanted to stay at Asian side before going to European side, this hotel is in the city place of atesahir . By bus you can find great breakfast and dinner options and also buy bus you can go for some shopping. You can also go by bus to nearby scenic places like kadikoy Sahili and other places you like , great big rooms with sofa and kitchen fridge etc iconic view … sea side or city view you choose while booking . Highly recommend it great hotel

Upon arrival we received a room facing the main street. We could not sleep well because of the noise of the cars, but the next day the room was replaced with a quieter one. Thanks to the understanding staff. Everything was good, but the room's bathroom is old and needs maintenance and updating.

My first night was a disaster because my room's power supply kept cutting off and they took almost 3 to 4 hours to fix it, due to that I couldn't sleep the whole night and my morning plans got wasted too. I asked the hotel manager Mr.Arda to give me an extra night, (he refused), airport transfer on my checkout date , (he refused) , room upgrade, (he refused) , Then Mr Arda promised us a complimentary dinner at the rooftop restaurant and that was amazing .My initial plan was to stay 3 nights but then I extended it for 2 more nights because of 1 man Mr.Karem at the reception , the nicest guy of the hotel , Mr.Karem and Mr.Arda helped us alot and supported us in every aspect, but sorry to say all the other staff members there had just 1 answer. im sorry we cannot help you we cannot help you , I'll definitely visit again, Thanks to Mr.Arda and Mr.Karem ❤️ and lastly thanks to Mr.Servet who told us about the free shuttle service provided by the hotel which takes us to Taksim . Thank you, Double Tree Regards Akif
