Istanbul Homestays

I really liked this hotel. The room was clean, cozy, and had a unique charm, with all the necessary amenities. It was also very quiet! The view from the breakfast terrace is magnificent. You can even enjoy tea and coffee on the terrace until 11 PM. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. They offer a luggage storage service on check-out day, and your bags are kept under video surveillance. When I returned in the evening to pick up my luggage, they even let me have some complimentary tea/coffee on the terrace. The hotel's location is perfect – right in the city center, yet situated in a peaceful spot. I'm so glad I chose this hotel and highly recommend it!

The hotel is a three-storey house, coupled with a cafe outside (where the tastiest breakfast is served (thanks!)). My room was very nice, thought through, I really liked the oldish appearance of the house itself and the design of the room, wooden furniture and huge windows. Since the room was on the first floor and the windows were facing the cafe, it was a little noisy in the evenings, and I needed to pull down the curtains as well. The room had all the listed appliances (incl. a small fridge and a kettle) but I lacked a table, however I guess the room size does not allow for it. The main advantage for me was the location: I really love that district, walked around it a lot. There are two very pleasant parks that descend to Bosphorus (going down the slope is pretty easy), and there is Üsküdar dock nearby if you want to get to other parts of the city by ferry. The metro station is ±8-10 min away and there are shops and local restaurants around.

Booked a room back in March. Everything was excellent! The location is top-notch, and they clean the room every day. The water pressure in the shower is strong, and the radiators heat up really well, but you can turn them down. The staff resolves any issues instantly. The Wi-Fi is super fast, and the fridge keeps things nice and cold. I'll definitely be staying here again. A couple of minor points: 1) They only provide water upon check-in, but if you ask nicely, they might bring more. 2) On the first floor, cats have marked the terrace, and the smell can drift into the room. So, I'd recommend booking a room on the second or third floor.

Very comfortable stay! The room was clean and had everything we needed. Unexpectedly, I was impressed by the kitchen. There was an electric kettle and we enjoyed coffee and tea. There was also a microwave, so it was easy to heat up a meal in the evening. The bedding was soft and comfortable. And most importantly, the showers were nice! The showers in this hotel are the warmest in Turkey. The owners are very caring and easy to contact if you need anything. The Grand Bazaar is close by and was a fun place to shop. There is also a supermarket nearby. I wish I could have stayed in this hotel more often. I would use this hotel again! Thank you very much.

A quiet place by the river in the middle of flowers and trees. The wooden mainhouse is as cosy in Summer as it might be in Winter, adorned with a majestic and well worn stone chimney. The garden and deck over the water create an intimate setting with the wonderful Ağva area, between river, forests and the black sea. The staff is friendly and attentive and the service was on point. The food offering covers Turkish basics and they are tasty and plentiful, some western staples are on offer too. The rooms are comfortable enough and each bungalow is hidden in the beautiful garden vegetation, one is even surprised so many rooms can feel so secret in such a small setting. The çay samovar sits by the quiet waterway and is enjoyable all day long with the lazy sway of reeds ruffled by the wind off the sea. Overall a fantastic stay.

Lovely hotel and the staff are very nice and accomodating. They are very happy to help with things for example they helped me find a place to do my laundry. Even with the language barrier they still helped with me mainly using Google translate to express anything. The only issue I had here was that I wasn't very fond of the breakfast foods however this didn't affect me much since I usually wake up once breakfast is over. I will be coming back here as otherwise amazing hotel.

We have been hosting in La Pera Suites, generally we were happy. The rooms were clean and regular, the location was very central. The staff were interested and helpful. A comfortable and preferable place for short-term accommodation.

The location is right next to the Galata Tower, a 7-minute walk from the metro station, super convenient. Most importantly, the rooms are very large; I wish I had stayed here all the time. Of the several hotels I stayed in Istanbul, this was the best. The only issue was that it was a bit noisy during morning prayers, otherwise perfect.

Decent clean saucer, but there was no toilet paper). Room of normal size enough for 1 person. Condey didn't work but it was indicated when booking, zero convictions. Sad that there is no teapot in the room, Water and overall except 1 bottle of shampoo is about nothing. Transfer to airport 30 euros, given the distance of 20 minutes drive - overload. Taxi would be cheaper, but there was no local money more, only euros, so it was necessary to use the transfer. By the way, he was promised an individual, and eventually a micric came and took 3 families. Well, that's it.
