West Pera Hotel

Prime location. Right on İstiklal street. The manager was really helpful with everything.

Just the fact that it is above a pud and there was loud music playing almost all night. But this might be a plus for those who like to party late. There is a good 10 to 15 mins uphill walk from main road for transport. Not ideal for people with weak knees.

Excellent clean spacious room for the price! It is above a very popular night club so expect some noise

Everything good

It’s in a great place live music light atmosphere throughout the night, but once you go to sleep, you don’t hear nothing. It’s so quiet.

Everything was fantastic

I’ll start by saying I have stayed in significantly worse places. The bed was comfortable and clean. The shower was hot and powerful. The room was large, with a fridge and a kettle. And the window seats, had the weather been better, would’ve been absolutely delightful to sit and read on with the window open. The location is absolutely fantastic for ease of access to transport and Istiklal Street.

Now onto the issues. You enter the hotel through an Irish bar, this presents issues in that certainly on the Friday and Saturday nights when I was there, loud music (sometimes live) and the associated noises with people drinking, continued until around 3 am. No earplugs were provided. In addition to this the bar presents another issue in that the cigarette smoke, as people are allowed to smoke inside, drift up the communal stairwell and into the bedrooms. If you turn your heater/cooler on this increases the smoke so I assume it must be drawing air from somewhere inside the building. The shower is mouldy with the walls deteriorating, and the water overflow in the shower tray very quickly flooding the bathroom. The room safe didn’t work, but I didn’t request assistance with that as it would’ve just highlighted that I required it for something valuable. Let’s not mention the skid marks in the toilet when I first arrived to my room 🤦🏻‍♀️ Overall, I put up with the cons as I had paid a reduced rate for the room, however, had I been paying a full amount I would’ve been most disappointed and would have raised my concerns.
