The hotel stay left me in a bad mood, but fortunately the city offered the best.. The location was good.
The staff was friendly.. NOTE THIS:
The hotel had a lot of problems. We had to change rooms three times during our 4-night stay. (The first room was not cleaned, the second one lost all electricity, the third one did not have air conditioning.
We stayed two nights on the 7th floor and on the last night the elevator did not work.
The breakfast was "terrify", the dining room was dirty, no dishes were available, the waiter picked snot out of his nose and then started arranging the foods with his bare hands, the coffee maker "exploded"!!, the cook was smoking inside the kitchen. The warm foods in the "heat bath" were ice cold (sausages, scrambled eggs, vegetables, potatoes)
The hotel's airport shuttles did not work at all.
We asked in advance about the airport transfer from the airport to the hotel, we got the answer when we had already spent the first night at the hotel.
We asked the hotel to get a taxi to the airport on the day of departure: we checked the flight departure time and the departure airport with the clerk on our plane ticket. At the Hotel's request, the taxi drove to the wrong airport, which is why we had to detour an extra 90 km.
The driver called his cousin, who was the hotel's receptionist, and he informed us that we would have to pay all the extra expenses. we paid about 100 euros for a 30 euro taxi ride.
If you happened to have coffee at breakfast, it was absolutely terrible. There was a Starbucks coffee shop in the lobby of the hotel, but for some reason we couldn't get coffee from it during our entire stay :(.

Exceptional. I want to share my experience staying at The Bianco hotel Pera. This was my first trip to Istanbul, and I spent about a week checking out different hotels. I had three options, and at first, I was going to book another hotel. But at the last minute, I changed my mind and went with De Bianco Pera—and honestly, I couldn’t have made a better choice!
📍 The Location is Just Perfect
The hotel is in the Galata Tower area, and it’s only a 4-minute walk to the tower itself. I think this is one of the best areas to stay in—there are so many nice cafes, restaurants, and souvenir shops around. And if you want to explore more, Istiklal Street is just 7 minutes away on foot, which is super convenient.
Another thing I really liked is that there’s a bus stop literally 100 meters from the hotel. If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can just hop on a bus and easily get to places like the Grand Bazaar or Dolmabahçe Palace. I took the bus a couple of times, and honestly, the travel time was about the same as a taxi.
🌟Super Friendly and Helpful Staff
One of the things that stood out to me the most was how nice and welcoming the staff were. They were always there to help, super friendly, and just made the whole stay feel warm and comfortable. I really appreciated their attention to detail—it’s the kind of place where you feel genuinely cared for as a guest.
One thing I really appreciated was the breakfast. No matter what your food preferences are, there’s something for everyone. But what stood out the most was how well they take care of you—you definitely won’t leave the table hungry! The staff makes sure you’re comfortable and have everything you need. It’s the perfect way to start the day before heading out to explore the city.
🌟Rooms That Look Even Better in Person
When I was booking the hotel, I looked at the photos, but honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect in real life. Well, turns out, the rooms are even nicer than they look online!. .

Exceptional. I really liked the location, it’s right next to Galata Tower in a beautiful and cozy area. The view from the hotel was amazing, you can see the water and the sunsets from this side are just gorgeous. The staff were very kind and caring, especially Kadri and Zafer — they made me feel very welcome. The room was comfortable and had everything I needed.. .

Exceptional. I liked the hotel I visited with my family very much. Zafer Bey's help for places to visit in Istanbul was very modest and well-intentioned. I thank him.. .

enjoyable. Great location, friendly staff. They need to replace their joinery, it’s very loud from the street outside, if you are a light sleeper you will have a problem..
