We stayed at the Grand Peninsula a total of 7 nights (3 in the beginning of our travels, one night in the middle and 3 more at the end). We choose a large double which has enough extra space for your suitcases and roomy enough to enjoy. Has a small frig and a hot pot. The day manager (Daniel) was... more

We stayed for 4 nights in this 6 months old hotel (had been an old apartment block and was completely renovated to Australian standards, I think). The room was spotless, cleaned really well each day,with lots of clean towels, had the most functional bathroom of any that we used in 7 weeks in the Middle East (modern shower alcove, with... more

We were offered a room at the Grand Peninsula because their sister hotel, the Hotel Peninsula was full. We were surprised to meet someone from surburban Melbourne behind the reception desk, but Daniel was really helpful with all kinds of advice about Istanbul and Turkey. The room was really comfortable and the breakfast on the terrace was the perfect way... more

This hotel is a mere 5-10 minute walk to the main sights, yet removed enough to be quiet in the evenings. Excellent find, recently renovated, superb staff with helpful tips, great fun on the rooftop terrace - perfect for breakfast, sunning on the hammocks, and having evening drinks. Rooms are comfortable, include fridge & great bathroom. Highly recommend airport transfer... more

We stayed at the Grand Peninsula Hotel in Sultanahmet for 3 nights on our arrival in Istanbul. The best thing about this hotel is its position because it was only a few minutes walk to everything there is to see in Sultanahmet and beyond. There is a tram within a few blocks of the hotel, which will take you to... more

We took a room in this hotel because all the rooms in the sister hotel, the Peninsula, were booked up. We were not disappointed. The Grand Peninsula is superbly located in the centre of Sultanahmet and within easy walking distance of many of Istanbul's major historical and cultural attractions. The hotel appears to have been tastefully renovated recently and is... more

Istanbul accommodation obviously varies from opulent to downright down-at-heel, so we were absolutely delighted to have Tripadvisor feedback steer us to this one. In a little side street only minutes down hill from the Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia and Topkapi Palace, this gem of a hotel is all you could wish for as a base for this extraordinary city. Small... more

Stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning and end of our stay in Turkey. It should have been 5 nights, but there was a mix-up with our reservation. They booked us into a guest house down the street for that one night. Staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were nice, new and clean. They also had a kettle... more

Great place to stay. Others have said it was overpriced, but I paid 10 euros more for a much smaller older room in a hotel 2 blocks away so I didn't find that to be the case at all. My room was spacious and clean and the bathroom was a revelation after 2 weeks of showering over the toilet (so... more
