Good hotel with great amenities like free wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a lift. I remember the staff helped me with a hot drink when it was cold. I recommend enjoying breakfast for a good start. I'll be back for a weekend!

Location is excellent, with major attractions within walking distance. However, room size felt a bit cramped for a family of four.

Positive, The location is fantastic, just a minute from the tram. The breakfast blew us away with so many delicious options. The staff were super helpful, arranging our airport shuttle and fixing a minor issue swiftly. The room was comfortable and clean 😄

This place was just a good match for a mini-break over the weekend in Istanbul with fantastic value for money. I loved how the staff were quick to help when my shower had low pressure, resolving it swiftly. Bring earplugs if you’re sensitive to noise from the street.

I was almost ready to rave about this place, but alas! The wall between rooms is so thin, I could hear a neighbor cough the flu. And what about a bedside lamp? Total lack of thought! I also desperately needed an upgrade, but alas, I received nothing special but a standard room. How utterly disappointing!

family-friendly gem with amazing breakfast options

proximity to main attractions, excellent dining options

limited room space

we had a bit of trouble with the hot water at first. but the daily cleaning made the rooms spotless, also they provided complimentary water bottles each day. breakfast had so many choices, and the staff was super friendly and attentive!

This hotel is a perfect base for exploring Istanbul. We visited the nearby Topkapi Palace, which was just a short walk away. With spacious rooms and a decent breakfast, our family of four felt right at home during our stay.

In my wife’s opinion, more kid-friendly options would be great.

Our stay at black pearl exceeded expectations during a quiet weekend. The location was perfect, just a short walk to major attractions. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety!

the room lacked a bedside lamp.

An Unforgettable Istanbul Family Getaway!

Our family enjoyed a delightful stay with a generous breakfast that catered to all tastes. The staff's exceptional attentiveness, especially when arranging transportation, made our experience seamless. Proximity to historical sites allowed us to explore easily. Bring earplugs for tram noise, but the nighttime atmosphere is serene!

The location is unbeatable, just a minute from the tram stop and within walking distance to major attractions like the Grand Bazaar and Suleymaniye Mosque. Breakfast is impressive, featuring a variety of delicious options, including focaccia bread. Despite the lively street noise, we found the staff exceptionally helpful and accommodating, promptly addressing any issues we encountered. However, we had some trouble with the lack of bedside tables and plug sockets, which made it inconvenient for a comfortable stay. Also, a steep staircase leading to the elevator might pose a challenge for some guests.

This hotel was a commendable fit for a short layover in Istanbul with real value for money. The breakfast had a great variety of Turkish fare that kept me satisfied each morning. Make sure to ask about the nearby tram stop for quick travel around the city.
