Opera Hotel

This is a really nice hotel 5 minutes walk from Taksim Square. It is an uphill walk but a pretty easy walk. But it isn't all positive. The rooms are lovely and the breakfast is excellent. Reception desk service is superb. I do have to raise a couple of faults: The room wasn't cleaned properly for 2 nights as the same crumbs that were already on the floor of my room when I checked-in were still there right next to the bed when I left. The second thing, and this is partly culture, is that they have a small outdoor pool but whilst you are using the pool both staff and guests come out and smoke in this area - there is even a large ashtray. I know this is a perception thing but having a smoking area between the pool and the fitness suite is a bit off-putting. Other than that, and these are minor comments, the hotel is excellent.

An amazing experience! I have stayed in many luxurious hotels all around the world, also many in Istanbul, and never stayed anywhere else better than the Opera Hotel. Personnel, food, cleanliness, view, decoration, best of the best!

Good hotel near Taksim Square. Well located. Very good service. Staff was always very quick to respond to demands and solve issues. Only disappointment was that the pool was closed in early May.

Amazing !!! Very nice hotel & very friendly staff The room view is amazing, the breakfast buffet was great, beds are extremely comfortable and the room is spacious and very clean Relaxing too much with gorgeus view! Would love to stay here again ! ❤

Check-in was smooth. We had some issues with their policy of no outside food or drink allowed. We told them we should be allowed to bring bottled water for ourselves and milk for our toddler, to which the manager agreed. Hotel location is excellent, about 8 minutes walk from Taksim square. Beware of the incline though. Room and bed is a bit small for two adults plus 1 child. But they did provide extra blanket on request. What I did find strange was that there is no latch or lock on the bathroom door. Staff (especially housekeeping staff) was very helpful. Buffet breakfast could a little better. City View room is a bit noisy (street traffic). Room size is not bad.
