The Pearl Suites

Getting around Istanbul was easy from here. The tram, ferry, minibus, and bus stations are about a 0.5-mile walk away, and public transport can take you to many of the famous sights in 30 minutes or less. We got an Istanbul Card for the trains, trams, buses, and ferries, and didn’t need a car in the city. There are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby, too. Our room was quiet and cleaned every day, and the hotel served a delicious Turkish breakfast. The staff were super friendly, welcoming, and helpful. It was a comfortable, clean stay in a convenient spot, and I’d gladly recommend it. Definitely felt like a 5-star experience, or better.

The breakfast room is cosy, and it’s a lovely spot for a cup of Turkish coffee. The staff are sweet, friendly, and helpful, which gives this small boutique hotel a homey feel. With so few rooms, it’s very quiet. The location is one of Istanbul’s best, with easy access to multiple places and plenty of central Istanbul within walking distance. The rooms are fairly good, though they could be cleaner. I’d come back, especially for the value.

At The Pearls Suites, the room was sparkling clean and breakfast was Traditional Turkish. It’s in the Beşiktaş neighborhood, close to public transport, the harbor, and restaurants. One of the best künefe places in town is just a 2-minute walk away. Everyone on staff was welcoming and very friendly. I’d definitely recommend staying here.

We stayed three nights with my best friend, and the room felt secure, clean, and tidy. The traditional breakfast was very fresh, and the hotel is close to the center and public transport. The staff were lovely and handled even a small request, like killing a bug, with a smile. The WiFi sometimes lagged for about a minute, then came back and worked properly. There was no firewall, so it wasn’t an issue for us. I’d recommend the hotel.
