Reviews for The Peninsula Istanbul
Exceptional in Every Way
After staying at many luxury hotels in Istanbul, The Peninsula Istanbul has officially become our favorite. It truly stands out and is now the hotel we will return to every time we visit the city. Everything about our stay was exceptional. The breakfast was outstanding, with a wide variety of fresh, high-quality options. The spa is elegant, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Istanbul. The highlight for us was the beautiful heated outdoor swimming pool overlooking the Bosphorus. Even on cooler days, it is warm enough to enjoy a swim while taking in one of the most breathtaking views in the city. It creates a truly unforgettable experience. The staff were consistently kind, welcoming, and professional, always happy to help with anything we needed. I genuinely cannot find a single negative thing to say. From the service to the facilities, everything was flawless. If you’re looking for the ultimate luxury hotel in Istanbul, The Peninsula is simply the best. Highly recommended, and we can’t wait to return.

Amazing hotel, the best in Istanbul
What a wonderful hotel! We did the meet and greet where they drive you from airport to the golden horn and their boat picks you up from there to the hotel. We also used their boat for a sun set trip and dinner. We were upgraded on arrival and everything was perfect. We leave tommorow but we will return for sure

Elegant Hotel in Istanbul
Just returned from 3 nights at the Peninsula Istanbul and was very impressed by the opulence of the hotel and the incredible staff. It was the finest Peninsula property we have stayed in. Grounds, setting and room details were absolutely top shelf while maintaining a level of warm and attentive service. Every single employee was well trained and outstanding. Those details are very rare these days and did not go unnoticed to our family. German Tezgor leads an outstanding Guest Services team and Gotham Sedef oversaw great dining experiences. Would highly recommend

Loud music until late at night
Three nights out of four kept up by the hotel party music. If you are looking for somewhere to relax after sightseeing DO NOT STAY HERE. I am typing this at approaching midnight. The manager tells us the party will finish at 02:00am. It would not be so bad, but the diesel engines from the boats wake you up early morning. I came on holiday, but I have had 4 sleepless nights.

Best combination of luxury plus view
To me, this hotel has one of the best views in Istanbul, especially if you are looking for a luxurious place to stay in Istanbul, with a view, this is the place to be. The roof bar or the rooms looking at the sea are unbeatably good!
