Asmali Pera Hotel

This was easily the worst hotels I have visited. When we checked in (3 people, 2 rooms), the rooms were ridiculously small, full of insects, and we could see bedbugs all over. No soap or shampoo were provided. No blow-dryer, and no air conditioning (All of which are services that are advertised for online). When we asked to change rooms, the Manager refused and said it is fully booked. We asked if they can at least clean the rooms and provide toiletries, they said the cleaning staff is not around now and we need to wait till the day after. The manager had a really rude attitude. We immediately left and they refused to give us a refund. Worst experience ever.

Ok, sharing my experience to help others. First of all, if you are a person who prefers quiet and peaceful place, this hotel isn’t for you. It’s surrounded by bars and restaurants. Starting at evening until 4am you will be hearing loud music and noises, so say bye to sleep, but if you’re a person who likes hanging out at bars at night and take nap during the day, this is for you. Second of all, the rooms are tiny (at least mine which was one single bed) with limited space to put your stuff. Third, the staff are very friendly and nice, but not attentive to guests’ needs; I requested a cleaning service to my room at reception and even left the door sign to “Service” for couple of days, but nobody came. But, the area is metropolitan, a lot of restaurants nearby, variety of shops available , close to Galata tower and bridge, one min walk to Istiklal St, which was my fav place to go for a walk in the evening. Overall, it was a mixed of both good and unpleasant experience.

The front desk person. His name is Fatih He was very helpful. He suggests many tours he was right on the money. His personality was great because of him. I do recommend this hotel . other young guy. I’m sorry for forgot his name because these two guys we had a wonderful time . thank you very much.
