Rixos Pera Istanbul

Rixos Pera Istanbul is a fairly good hotel with a classic charm and an excellent, strategic location in the heart of the city. The ambiance captures the essence of Istanbul’s rich history, and the location makes it convenient for exploring the city. However, my experience was somewhat underwhelming. As a Platinum Accor member, I could not fully enjoy the benefits typically associated with this status. The hotel does not provide a lounge, which was disappointing. Additionally, I noticed an unpleasant odor in the hallway near my room, which detracted from the overall experience. Another major drawback is the policy of charging for Nespresso capsules in the room, a surprising decision for a five-star hotel. Nearly everything in the room seems to come with an extra fee. Even more surprisingly, basic amenities such as body lotion and hand soap were missing from the bathroom. While the hotel has its positive aspects, these shortcomings made it fall short of the high standards expected from a five-star property.

We had a fantastic stay at Rixos Pera with our 4 year old. The location is excellent & very convenient to visit the sights of Old town Istanbul as well as restaurants & shops on Istiklal street. The most memorable memories we had are of the Rixos Pera team - right from the reception team to the restaurant team and the cleaning teams. We had a lovely time and would to come back soon

- Excellent Location, 2 mins walk from İstiklal street. - Very nice & cooperative staff. - Very tidy & clean rooms. - Excellent breakfast buffet at the roof top with sea view. - Wide bed with too comfortable mattress and a special menu fir pillows upon request.

We were made to feel special from the moment we arrived at the door and passed to our charming Front of House personnel (Emre, Nuri and Turhan). It's wonderful to be greeted by happy yet so professional people on arrival. Next, we were led to our rooms, where the porter explained the operation of some of the features in the room. The views from the windows down over to Goldern Horn were fantastic. Our Deluxe room was beautifully appointed and far exceeded what we were expecting. Having settled into our rooms, we next sought out Elmira the Concierge. We had some ideas of what we wanted to see, but Elmira was able to make recommendations, which were truly outstanding. Every one of his suggestions made our two days there amazing. It honestly felt like we'd been there for a week, because of how much we accomplished in the two days. He arranged our private tour guide on day one and planned our Bosphorus cruise for day two. Then when we wanted to venture out for dinner directed us to a beautifully tradition Turkish restaurant. I cannot rave enough about this hotel and the staff. I've mentioned a few, but the whole team there makes this a very special place to stay.

Luxurious hotel and very nice and polite staff
