After reading so many good reviews we decided to stay in this hotel. We booked standard double room a month in advance, received several confirmations and were ready to spend an excellent time in this hotel. The transfer from airport was good, but when we arrived in the hotel tired after flight we received the room downstairs with the view... more

Thank you for your feedback. We must say we are surprised at your review. Please allow us to explain why. Yes it is true we accomodated you in our downstairs double (nicely photographed the following morning after usage) - but only after you amicably agreed. The reason you were given for the roomchange was that a customer fell ill and...

We stayed at Hotel Peninsula for 3 nights. The room was basic, but very clean, with an excellent shower, and air conditioning. The hotel serves a delicious Turkish breakfast on the roof terrace, which has views of the Bosphorous. I loved the fresh yoghurt and fruit jams. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The only real downside of... more

I have spent (together with my spouse) 5 days/nights in Hotel Peninsula. It was very cosy, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfest is tasteful and served on nice terrace with overview of Bosphorus - to see the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque, you have to move one level up. The room was tidy and cosy; it had... more

We stayed at the Peninsula for 2 nights last week and really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly, the breakfast is a traditional Turkish buffet with a beautiful view of the sea from the rooftop terrace (with hungry cat!), and the rooms are clean and tidy. We stayed in a ground floor room and even though we're two young... more

The rooms are spacious, very clean, with separate bathroom, A/C and clean crisp linen. Lovely rooftop complete with hammocks and a view over the Sea of Marmara, the Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya. Whilst there is no bar at the hotel, there is no problem with buying your own drinks and food and taking them up there - the hotel... more

The shower was awesome. The breakfast was wonderful. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We love the view from the rooftop. The location... more

I just returned from Istanbul (mid-May 2009) and had an overnight stay at the Peninsula. I took advantage of their airport pickup for 15 Euro (most hotels charge 25 Euro or it's free if you stay for atleast 3 nights), and their driver was right there to pick me up even though they had garbelled my name on the sign... more

Please be informed that Hotel Peninsula is not a 2 star hotel. We are a small boutique hotel located in Sultanahmet. The customer refers to '2nd hand type furniture' maybe an...
