Elan Hotel Istanbul Pera

The hotel staff was great , thanks for the reception guy who helped us very much, cleaning lady come all the day with clean towels she was so great .. great location especially for people who wanna have fun on taksim clubs and lounge ,so close , especially no-noise room with perfect view… also safe place for women who wanna travel alone and so close to metro station just 2mn walks with perfect coffe bar and restaurant.

The location was great - right off the back of the main shopping street, and a few moments away from quite a few good restaurants, bars and nightlife. It is also opposite Soho House, so it is definitely a slightly louder area at night - that being said, you feel like you are in the hustle and bustle of it all, which was what we wanted. It took us 40 minutes to walk to the main monuments on the other side of Galata Bridge, and a taxi cost about £20 - but this was because we were silly and did not order through the Uber app! Galata tower itself is about 25 minutes walk away, and we generally found ourselves walking 10-20 minutes for breakfast / lunch / dinner although there were closer options nearby. The room cleaning was good, the bed was large (very wide) and comfortably - although we booked a room with no window, we actually got one, which was a nice bonus. The room served it's purpose - as a place to put your head at night after a busy day of exploring. We checked in at 2.00am which was comfortable and nice to know this was a possibility for late night flights. Staff were accommodating and pleasant.

Thank you for hosting us very well since the day 1 we arrived at the hotel. I would like to thank and complement the reception team: Ahmet, Burak, Uğur, Yusuf and Muhammet Ali in addition to a big compliments and respect to the house keeping ladies Deria and tuba. See you again soon inshallah and I will definitely recommend this lovely place.

It’s a really good place to stay when visiting Istanbul. The staff is cheerful and accommodating of any and all requests you may have. The rooms are clean and well maintained, as advertised. Another plus is the area - there are thriving markets, restaurants, bars and coffee houses open till late. Also, it’s super safe to walk the streets at anytime of the day/ night. Highly recommend.

I would recommend that for its price, location, which was relatively close to train and bus stations and of course the hotel staffs were polite and friendly.
