The location of Perula hotel is very good. It’s a 5 minute walk to Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque and about 15 mins to grand bazaar. There are good restaurants around. We skipped breakfast as we were only there for a day and checked out early the next morning. We had a few issues during check in but they were resolved and while most of the hotel staff was very friendly the gentleman who checked us in and had the day shift didn’t seem to share the same enthusiasm. We unfortunately got stuck in a bad storm while seeing the Blue Mosque and when we came back drenched and requested for some newspapers to dry our shoes (we would have been happy to pay for this as well) we were declined with a very cold and unfriendly response. Having said that the staff in the evening and during our checkout was very friendly and helpful. From what I understand this area has older buildings as it’s the older part of Instanbul so do not expect something modern or fancy but the room is comfortable and basic. They do have sheets instead of blankets but this is common in some parts of the world during summer. Super location, hope to return but wish all the staff had the same eagerness to help that usually superhosts have.
