Nayna 9.0

Palmera Old City was my first stop after landing in Istanbul. Omer went above and beyond, offering to arrange transportation from the airport and was of great help during my stay (pointing out places to visit). The rooftop terrace was beautiful, and a very special way to be introduced to the city.

Duncan 8.0

Fatima-zahra 8.0

The highlight of the stay was the people and the owners, it genuinely felt very warm and comfortable being there.

Christine 9.0

Excellent family run hotel. Extremely clean, great central location. The room was double glazed and the street was quiet both day and night. Breakfast was a highlight - the menemen eggs cooked by the grandmother were the best I’ve ever had in Turkey- Would recommend for a no frills friendly stay.

Irshad 9.0

Palmera hotel is managed by the very helpful Mr Omer, always reachable even when we messaged him at 1am. All the staff are courteous and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is nice... ask for their Turkish coffee. A short walk from the main sights and tram station, the hotel is also in a quiet area not far from shopping areas.

Dharmalingam 8.0

The staff were very nice. Rooms are small. Looks like it was recently renovated. I will stay there again. Book a bigger room. Very accessible and one can walk to most of the attractions. We used surface transport for transfer to the airport which is cheap and works well.

Craig 8.0

A family run hotel in the old city of Istanbul. My room had views of the Bosphorus and Sea of Marmara along with the Blue Mosque. Omar spoke good English and was very helpful in arranging tours, transfers and giving personal background to this ancient city.

Ionut 9.0

nice stuff. As we arrived early in the morning and left late in the afternoon from Istanbul, they kept our luggage which was a great help for me. In one night, there was some noise from a neighbour room but once i reported it to the reception everything was settled. Nice and easy

Ali 8.0

The location was near to everything. A 10 min walk to everything. The people working there were so kind and helpful. They took very good care for us. The food was very yummy. We had a problem with our room and they upgraded us to a better room with a better view. You really felt welcome, and the service was out of this world, and you could feel the warmth. They would every night order different kinds if food for me and my husband after what we liked and you really felt heard!

Yash 9.0

Excellent location and rooms but the stand out are the staff who go above and beyond to help out on whatever is required
