Hotel Gritti Pera & Spa

✓The location is really great! It's a quick 10-minute walk from the Galata Tower and Taksim Square, and there are tons of restaurants around, so the food scene is really good. The metro station is also not far away, so it's easy to connect to the rest of the city through there. The breakfast spread provided by the hotel has a lot of choices and is quite good.

!While the hotel itself has a nice boutique French hotel vibe, It is quite evident that the property is in major need for maintenance. In a lot of places, the wallpaper is peeling away from the walls. It is also in the heart of the clubbing area, so it can be really noisy until quite late in the night. If you prefer a quiet location, this may not be the right choice.

✓Excellent staff, very helpfull. They supported us very nicely to find an excellent hammam for the whole family. Family room was big.

!The family suite faced a back street where loud bar or disco music played until 3:30 AM on the weekend, making sleep very difficult. This was a big challenge for us! Breakfast was very limited—only one type of fruit per day—and there was no information on ingredients, making it hard to tell, for instance, which dishes contained meat. The sofa bed was lumpy and difficult for an adult to sleep on. AC one could not change yourself, it was controlled somewhere else and 16 degrees was a bit cold. We asked to put it to 19/20ish but nothing happened.

✓Personnel à l’écoute, réactif, petit déjeuner excellent.

!Attention, l’emplacement de l’hôtel fait qu’on entend du bruit dans la rue jusqu’à très tard en soirée/nuit
