Pera Star Hotel
The hotel's location is very good. It's very close to Taksim and İstiklal Street. But a little loudly street and ıt's annoying while sleeping.

Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul
We had a room with a small terrace opening to the pool, which was still in the process of being opened. Staff generally were helpful and attentive, with the exception of the lobby bar where it was always a struggle to get someone to serve. Housekeeping and room service were excellent
