I stayed at the Hotel Peninsula in November for a couple of days. The location is great, as it is only a short walking distance to a lot of main tourist attractions on the European side. The only downside is, that there are many mosques very close by... and call for prayer quite early in the morning! The staff was... More

I stayed here with my sister late December 2011. The location was excellent, a short walk to restaurants and the main attractions of old Istanbul.

However, a warning, there was a mosque right outside our bedroom window, the call to prayer at dawn... More

We're a family of five that just returned from five nights at the Hotel Peninsula, and while we're certain there are... More

Hotel Peninsula is a good value option, within walking distance to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkai, Cisterns, and the Archeological Museum. The employees are friendly. As I was staying for two nights before flying back to the States, the owner provided me with directions to some sites that were off the beaten track (partially because one museum, the Panorama 1453...
