About

Hotel Perula & Spa

Hotel Perula & Spa sits in the heart of Sultanahmet, the old city of Istanbul, on a quiet street off the main tourist trail. The 3-star property has a classic, elegant facade and interiors finished in a neutral, contemporary style.

The hotel's greatest asset is its position: the Serpent Column is a 5-minute walk away and Hagia Sophia a 9-minute stroll. With a spa, a Turkish bath, and a 24-hour reception, it covers the essentials for a sightseeing-focused stay in Istanbul.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms are on the smaller side — Several guests note that the rooms are small, though they add that they are comfortable and well designed. The Comfort rating is 7.7, the lowest among the rating categories.
  • Mixed reviews on staff and service — While most guests praise the staff, a few reviews are critical, calling out poor service and housekeeping. The Service rating of 8.4 shows variance.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so if you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place.
