I enjoyed the great location near Istiklal Street and the Galata Tower, which made exploring the area quite easy. The breakfast buffet was decent, though it could use a bit more variety. However, the rooms were on the smaller side and had some cleanliness issues that shouldn't be overlooked.

My stay at Pera Tulip Hotel was quite disappointing. The location is a big plus, as it's very close to Istiklal Street and metro stations, but the rooms and service didn’t meet expectations. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired, and while the staff were friendly, the overall experience was marred by several issues. I'd say it's not worthy of its advertised star rating.

The location was the highlight, situated in an area that's vibrant and close to popular spots like Istiklal Street and Galata Tower. This made it easy to explore Istanbul on foot, but be prepared for hilly walks.
