Le Petit Palace Hotel - Special Category

Friendly staff, great location walking distance to all things to see and do , lots of restaurants in the old part of Istanbul.

Nothing

The Hotel is in a great position, one street behind a main busy street where the trams run making local public transport accessible to explore other parts of Istanbul but far enough away to not be able to hear the trams, it’s also equal distance between Hagia Sophia and Galata bridge which is literally 10 minutes walk away. The hotel rooms are more than large enough, spotlessly clean and sound proofed, the hotel staff are amazing and could not be more friendly and helpful Hamit advised us on what number buses to catch when we had an adventure to Chora museum to see the mosaics. The breakfast facilities were very good we had omelettes, fruit drinks, coffee and pastries every morning. There is also a Hamam (Turkish Bath) on site which was excellent, the whole process is carried out discreetly and professionally, I would thoroughly recommend trying one.

Everything was very good.

The staff were very kind and helpful

TV reception not the best in room

Friendly staff, good breakfast, clean room, located near main attractions.

Room light pollution and awful air conditioner (ac) work. Our sleep was significantly worsened by ac unit enabling every minute for 30 seconds for the whole night. It was loud and annoying, alternating levels of noise were making good sleep impossible. Staff recommended just “to keep it on max always so it never stops”, but 1) that sounds like a bad solution in general and 2) didn’t work. Also amount of non-switchable led lights in room was too much (tv, fire alarm, door control panel). So no hope for good sleep for stimuli-sensitive person in here.
