The location of the hotel is in a very "touristy" location but that was perfect for our short stay. It was close to all the major attractions and some very fun restaurants and hookah bars. (As a tip, use discretion when picking a restaurant. It is hard to find authentic Turkish cuisine among the tourist trap restaurants. Try turning down... More

Our room was in the basement so was nice and quiet and had it's own small terrace garden which my husband (a smoker) was very happy about. The room was comfortable and cleaned daily, the bathroom was fine with a really... More

Perfect little hotel located in the Old town area & within walking distance to all the main sites. Staff were very friendly with clean rooms & good views from the roof terrace (which also serves breakfast in the mornings). Highly recommended!

What a wonderful experience we had. My husband had to have an emergency operation after only 2 days in Istanbul. The owner and staff at the Peninsula couldn't have been kinder. After a week in hospital we were offered free accommodation until our next visit to the hospital for follow up treatment and the OK to fly home. At all... More

Stayed in the Hotel Peninsula for 3 nights on our Fabulous trip in Turkey. We stayed in the basement room, which is very nice for the price point of 50 Euro's a night for 2, which included breakfast. The room was very clean and the roof top terrace where the breakfast is served has a Fabulous view. The staff were... More

My friend and I shared a room for eight nights in April. This was a great place to stay, and I'd definitely stay there again. The location is very conveniently located in the Old Town. In terms of transferring from the airport, we opted to arrive by tram from Ataturk Airport, and it was about a ten-minute walk from the... More

Great home in Istanbul, this very friendly hotel really is just a few blocks from the Big Two- Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. It is a crowded area but so convenient to everything that it doesn't matter. Even the breakfasts are good and healthy, like much of Turkey's cuisine. And the hotel personnel here will help you with anything.
