Hotel Black Pearl

Excellent hotel with perfect location. The mosques and bazaars within walking distance. The rooms are quiet and has everything, cleaning comes every day. The staff is really kind and helpful with everything, they even brought my brother a cake on his birthday. We had a really good time.

The location, size of room with 2 queens and a single, very comfortable linens, very nice staff (especially Aslan & Ahmet H) and price make for a fabulous stay.

Strategic location, friendly staff, clean rooms.

Great location and very helpful staff

The hotel is located in the heart of Istanbul, surrounded by historical sites and restaurants. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly, special thanks to Aslan Bey and Erken who were superb throughout the trip. The hotel is extremely clean, rooms are cleaned daily and breakfast is good. The tram is located opposite the hotel and takes pretty much all the important locations in Istanbul. We were a family of 5 and had no issues at all. Would highly recommend.

The key value of this hotel is their stuff, 10 out of 10.

From the moment we arrived at Hotel Black Pearl, we felt truly welcomed. It wasn’t just the warm hospitality or the spotless, cozy room—or its perfect location in Fatih that made exploring Istanbul a breeze—but the unforgettable gestures that elevated our stay. On my niece’s second birthday, the staff surprised us with a beautifully decorated cake and played the “Happy Birthday” song. Watching her eyes light up—and seeing the smiles of everyone around—made us all feel so happy and truly cherished. The team also went out of their way to accommodate my dietary needs. As I’m lactose intolerant, my father asked if they could prepare something dairy-free for me, and they kindly made me a fresh omelette. That thoughtful gesture made me feel cared for and shows the level of attention they give every guest. Every morning, breakfast was fresh, delicious, and varied. The staff’s kindness and attention to detail made our first family holiday together so special. Thank you to everyone at Hotel Black Pearl for going above and beyond to make this trip one we’ll always remember. Definitely book again in the future

Great staff who helped us very well with an emergency situation. Location is great, next to Topkapi Palace, Gulhen park and walking distance of Hagia Sophia, but also near tramways/Metro and ferrys. nice family restaurants and shops nearby

Excellent Stay in the Heart of Istanbul! We had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect—just a short walk to major attractions like Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern, with many other historical sites nearby. The tram station is conveniently right in front of the hotel, and the metro is just 250 meters away, making it very easy to explore the city. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Special thanks to Mr. Furkan, Arslan, and Numan, who went out of their way to assist us with anything we needed. Their warm hospitality truly made a difference. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!

Charming place, great location close to the most popular attractions and landmarks of Istanbul, and all are reachable on foot. Just by staying at this hotel, you are already saving on transport. The tram line is also on the same street, and if you want to go further, just buy the Istanbul Card near the Gülhane tram stop. Plenty of shops and restaurants around with delicious food to match any taste. The staff cleaned the room and provided new towels daily. We also booked a transfer to and from the airport through the hotel, and the service was excellent. The reception staff were very helpful, but Aslan stood out as very attentive, kind, and answered all our questions well. Moreover, the delicious breakfast was another significant benefit of saving money. I highly recommend this hotel, and we will return one day.

Superb location, Gulhane Park right around the corner, and many other popular tourist attractions. Laundry is behind the corner, money exchange is in the same building. Tons of cafes nearby with delicious food. Also we would like to recognise Aslan, who works at the reception for his politeness, willingness to help and kindness. He gave us a lot of good recommendations where to go and what to see. So, if you want to go to Istanbul and looking for a good hotel, look no further and stay in Black Tulip. Cheers, Andrey and Alexandra.

Staff are incredibly helpful, the location is brilliant and the room was a really generous size.

I would like to thank all the staff for their wonderful hospitality. They were very accommodating ، kind and made our stay truly special. Everything was perfect, the staff, the service, the rooms, the breakfast... Thank you so much for everything and we will be back again inchallah.

Location and staff

Friendly and unobtrusive staff. Good location. Large rooms. Bottled water always available.

Such friendly welcoming helpful Staff. Great room for a family of Five.

We couldn't have chosen a better hotel for our family vacation in Istanbul. The room was perfect for our family of five: spacious, clean, bright, with comfortable beds and a fridge. The service was excellent. Special thanks to Aslan and Ertan at the front desk, they were incredibly kind and helpful, assisting us with tour bookings, airport transfers and explaining how to use public transport. The hotel is small, clean and very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and varied. Air conditioning and hot water worked perfectly. Even though the tram runs in front of the building, we were never disturbed. There's a tram station right on the corner and the Blue Mosque is just a 10-minute walk away. Plenty of cafés, restaurants and shops nearby. The location is perfect!
