Peradays

The Peradays accommodation impresses with comfortable, stylish rooms, excellent service, and a prime location near Taksim Square. Guests appreciate the cozy atmosphere, cleanliness, and delicious breakfast options.

We absolutely loved our stay at Peradays. Where to begin?!?! The check in was easy and quick. Kerim was so kind and helpful as were the rest of the staff. The location is perfect just on the edge of Taksim and only a short walk to Istikal. Plus so many bars and restaurants within minutes. Not to mention all the great shopping right outside the door. The room was small but perfectly adequate. The bed was very comfortable and we slept so well each night as it was also dark and quiet. The shower and bathroom were also just right. Every morning we were served a plentiful breakfast that included fruit, vegetables, bread, cheese and cold meats, eggs and other homemade warm goodies. The coffee and juice were also excellent. I highly recommend this hotel if you want something unique and local instead of corporate and sterile.

We arrived on a day when the main street into Taksim Square was closed for a political demonstration, leaving us to wheel our suitcases up a considerably steep hill. The hotel was none-too-easy to find in the labyrinth of streets, and none-too-impressive from the outside -- when we finally did find it ... However, the whole experience changed when we stepped through the door into a modern, well-designed space. The reception had a cozy, "retro" feel, with lots of books and old LPs lying around, as if people actually lived there. The kids loved our third-floor room, which had a sleeping loft and a window alcove -- totally cool. Housecats prowled the breakfast room. The people super-nice. We needed a pharmacy in the morning, so the night clerk when he got off duty walked us up to it, then waited outside in case we needed help. Later he gave us directions through the city to a place we wanted to visit. This was not a luxury experience, but neither did it feel downscale. For me, it was a perfect balance of comfort and authenticity. We would definitely stay there again.
