Spent 4 days in this nice hotel. The rooms were clean with good showers and very helpful staff. Lovely views over bosphoros from the rooftop bar. Close to Taksim square and 15 min walk from congress centre.

We enjoyed our stay at the Opera Hotel with a tour group. We had a little problem with our room, and it was changed immediately. The rooms were clean with comfortable bedding. They served a good buffet breakfast. Lovely rooftop restaurant. Convenient to Takism Square.

Overall very nice experience, the Bosphorus view is absolutely fascinating especially from the sky bar and restaurant. Breakfast is very good. Very conveniently located, 5 minutes walk from Taxim square, hence all kinds of transportation. I will be happy to come back.

After paying 400 pounds for three days I am assigned to a dark room with an awful smell. The room faces out onto an ally and gets no daylight no matter the time of day. Check-in staff were not concerned and would not allocate me another room. The rooms are also poorly soundproofed The breakfast is not bad and there... More

Normally, I'm pretty clear about whether to recommend a hotel or not, but this one leaves me slightly undecided. And after a five-night stay too! In the end, I've gone for 3 stars, but I did consider 4. On the positives, this is a good halfway house between the smaller no-facilities boutique hotels, of which there are many, and the... More

Unfortunately we chose this hotel based on trip advisor reviews, many of which dont reflect our experience. I'll list the good and bad points: BAD POINTS - This is not a 5 star hotel, 3 to 4 star. - The air conditioning in our room didnt work , despite requests to check it. You can turn it on but cant...

Very helpful staff. A few negatives are that there is a smell at the room but it goes away when you turn on A/C,... More

Located in the new part of town, only a short walk away from the bustle of Taksim square and Istiklal street, Beyoglu. I really enjoyed walking down this street looking at shops and being amazed at the sheer number of people walking around late at night (it is shoulder to shoulder even up to 11pm). The hotel was acceptable, nice... More

Apart from when I've stayed at one of the 5* hotels, a good night's sleep in a hotel in Istanbul appeared to be difficult to find, but I spent 6 blissfully quiet nights at the Opera. It is on a main road, but I was on the 3rd floor and hardly noticed it. At night it's pretty quiet and I... More

Opera hotel has confused me, it is part nice hotel, but let down by numerous oversights. Whilst impressed by the photographs of the hotel, I was given a standard room on floor -1 with no balcony or view of the Bosphorous, which is pretty much what I naively expected from the impressions I got from the booking website. The hotel... More
