well located, near to Blue Mosque but in a busy neighborhood, taxi wasn't be able to let us by the door so we had to walk one block with all luggage over stones side walk . Room was too small with no space to fit luggage so it was expensive for that area . dirt under beds and stair walls need some paint. Restaurant has a great view but breakfast is basic

The hotel is a good options for those in transit. It is clean. Be aware about getting taxi service to the airport. Even though the staff assured me the driver had a fixed rate and paid in advance at the hotel, the driver tried to charge me extra to get to the faster route to the airport. It is unfortunate drivers are always trying to get advantage of tourists.

I can only speak highly of this group. After staying for 1 week, they made my feel like it was home. The staff were really tentative, happy to share conversation, gave great advice, went out of their way to get our room ready 5 hours before check in. They're such hard working, hospitable people.
They went out of their way to get my husband's dinner from another restaurant and were all round amazing and helpful, except for the guy sleeping during his shift, who also gave me the wrong pricing for our laundry which ended up costing a fortune, and the lady that gave me a massage had terrible and left the room 6 times! But to the managements defence, they offered me another massage.
The room was perfect for our needs. It was well cleaned by their amazing cleaner. We had a cute balcony to view the action below. It can be noisy but its a busy part of Istanbul, just 5 minutes walk to the blue mosque. So central to all of the tourist attractions, all within easy walking distance.
The rooftop has a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner with an amazing view of the blue mosque. The kitchen closes at 11 but the staff cooked for us at 10.50 pm and allowed us to take it to our room. The food was delicious, staff were feiendly and talkative. All in all, i loved my experience at Hotel Perula, the guys have shared in my memories that will last a lifetime! I would definitely recommend them to everyone and if i was fortunate enough to visit again, this would be my first choice!

My room on 5th floor was right below restaurant. There was small staircase that separated my room from the rooftop restaurant. It was very noisy from the afternoon till late night.

I complained about the noise from loud music and people talking loudly in the rooftop restaurant...especially late night but nothing was done for all 4 nights i stayed at this hotel.

Each night, the noise level was terrible until midnight or later. I was not able sleep or properly rest all 4 days and nights I stayed at this hotel.

This hotel should not be considered VIP property. That will deceive people when booking this hotel.

This hotel really needs to either close the rooftop restaurant or close all 3 rooms on the 5th floor that are so close to the restaurant.

It is not fair that after paying so much money for 4 nights stay, what I had to go through in terms of noise levels in this hotel, especially during each night.

2- A mesmerising view on the blue mosque and bosphore- mornings & evenings are so beautifull and enjoyable in the roof top restaurant. Very unique view.

3- Very delicious breakfast and great service.

4- Very good & comfortable charming rooms.

5- our stay wouldn t be perfect without the permanent support of the whole staff. A big thanks to all the staff members met including the Hotel manager.

Perfect for short stay near Istanbul's attractions

We had a comfortable stay. The room was clean and cosy and though the air conditioning took time to speed up, once that happened, the temperature was to our liking. The shower was strong and enjoyable but the shower door itself was slightly unhinged.
The rooftop restaurant showed stunning views of the Blue mosque. We didn't eat a meal there (aside from the complimentary breakfast) but drinks were expensive.
The reception was good at booking us travel back to the airport.
The hotel itself could use updated or cleaned carpeting as it looked quite dirty. The fridge wasn't super cold either.
The location was fantastic- about 350m from the Blue Mosque and not far from the other attractions either.
We'd definitely come back for a short stay with minimal amenities.

After giving four different credit cards, they said the machine was not taking them because they were american credit cards? And when I asked why table next to us paid with c/c they told us because it was an European card! They just wanted for us to pay with cash and they just created this show to make us feel embarrassed!! Besides that, hotel is basic but staff and location was excellent.
