Li Hotel Pera

The location is perfect, a few steps away from Istiklal street Breakfast is a Turkish platter which was lovely The day receptionist was so helpful and friendly, he showed me how to get around easily..

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It’s hidden in a narrow street near Istiklal and finely combines touristic location and very cozy home-like atmosphere. We stayed at a comfortable room on the 4th floor (the bigger one). The room is very bright as it has 4 windows and two of them are French balconies. It’s new and clean, the AC is very strong and easy to manipulate - so the temperature was fine at all times. As there’s a lot of noise outside it was important for us that the room was quiet and IT WAS. The windows are new and don’t let the noise enter the room neither from the street nor from neighbours. The view is on the street and opposite buildings that are old and destructed – so if you’re looking for beautiful view you should think twice. Since we were not the view was fine for us – it was interesting to overview the street as people were walking by and locals do their business. The pearl of the hotel is the personnel. Can (it’s a name) the owner, Abdulla and the other Can made our stay and the whole visit to Istanbul worth sharing — they were so engaged in our experience in Istanbul! They would recommend the best places to go, the best routes to take and spent evenings sitting with us and sharing stories. They are not just the personnel but they are THE HOTEL themselves — can’t imagine Li Hotel Pera without the guys. Had you any question they would be there for you serving and ready to make an extra mile just so you to be happy. It’s my 5th time to Istanbul and definitely the most remarkable. I absolutely DO recommend the hotel! P.S. their food is gorgeous , especially the French Chocolate Cake Can’s wife makes – you must try it with tea 🫣

Great hotel, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The check in was very fast breakfast is amazing, food taste delicious. Elevator is available, rooms are spacious and very clean and new. We booked as a family of 4 the deluxe room, view from the room is nice. The hotel is like right there on Istiklal Street and mints walking from all around restaurants and shopping. Price was very good for the days. Check out was very fast and let us keep luggages until our transport. They helped us change dates due to our flight changes. Recommended 100 % and will book again. Thank you.

The Li Hotel is not just an accommodation. It is a home away from home. Strong points: • The human aspect. The people working there are the kindest, most helpful, good-humoured people you can imagine. They will go to great lengths to please their guests and help them kind-heartedly. Can, the owner (there are two people working there with this name and both are amazing!), would print a city map every morning and show us where to go/what to visit, what means of transportation to take, what to do in a certain place. Where else would anyone do this? • The rooms are exactly as shown in the photos. Spacious – bigger than what is usual for Instanbul (according to the info I have on other hotels), comfortable, cozy. • The AC works very well, and it felt so good after a very hot day in Istanbul. • They provide toiletries and the bathroom is clean and nice. • The breakfast is simple, but you get enough to make you feel you have the energy to face a working/leisurely day out. • We got two bottles of water every single day, which were left on the nightstand after they cleaned the room. • And how not to talk about location? It simply couldn’t have been better, just seconds – literally, seconds away from the famous and trendy Istiklal Street and its famous Nostalgic red tram. I mean, does it make the place noisier than in other places? Obviously, but that is only natural, considering you’re in the heart of Istanbul. Also, the big Taksim Square and its metro/funicular line is only 5 minutes away. What else could you ask for? All in all, let me just reassure you that staying in this property really made a difference in our stay in Istanbul. Getting to the hotel after a day working and visiting the city and being welcomed with a smile and a genuine interest in our day and general well-being does mean a lot. If we ever return to Istanbul, we know the place to choose.

Breakfast was excellent with plenty of options and flexible timing, making it super convenient. The location is unbeatable—just a minute's walk to Istiklal Street, close to a currency exchange shop, and an easy 10-minute walk to Taksim Square and public transport. The room was spacious and comfortable, with everything you need for a great stay. The restaurant was a highlight—especially the pasta! What really made the experience special was the incredible staff. They were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help. The owner and team went above and beyond to ensure our stay, both at the hotel and in Istanbul, was unforgettable. Would definitely book again, Highly recommended!
