Velimese Vacations from $357

Great location. Murad is a great lad, he allowed us to check in early and helped us find a taxi for our transfer. I’d suggest Gritti Pera to work on their breakfast.

The receptionist, Burhan, did an excellent job helping us decide where to go and how to get to various places during our stay at Carina Hold Hotel. The rest of the staff was also very friendly and helpful. We loved having breakfast at the hotel, as the variety on the menu exceeded our expectations. I will definitely choose Carina Hold Hotel again for future stays.

Literally want to come back

Very nice hotel. Got the Pera suite which offers a great view of Istanbul. The hotel is located on a busy street so there’s access to many shops and restaurants. The staff at the hotel were also very helpful and proactive. I would definitely stay here again.

Staff were great. All the ladies working in the kitchen and dining room area were amazingly nice and welcoming, especially Rasha and Betul. There are plenty of choices in the breakfast section. The location was fantastic, it was 2 minutes walk to Istiklal Cadesi, where you find numerous restaurants and shops. If you’re not a fan of crowds and busy locations, this hotel might not be suitable for you. Our window was right above a busy street with many bars and restaurants which would stay open until throughout the night and playing music. However, for us this was a plus since we enjoyed the vibe even when inside our room. The negative point was that during our 8 days stay, the room was never vaccumed although we would leave it for cleaning. Only the towels were changed and beds were made. The last day of our stay, the room was super dirty and needed a good cleaning, but we couldn’t imagine staying there for another night! It would be great if the hotel consider doing a deep cleaning for guests who stay more than 3-4 days.
