The hotel preserved the rooms used by Mustafa Ataturk. They are now shown as a museum. The breakfast buffet included lots of variety. The room was spacious (very important) and well-equipped.
The people helping with taxis seemed a little snobby.

My room was a Beautiful Pera Side Room King and it was nice. The shower worked really good, and the water was always hot. I also enjoyed the historic elevator. It reminded me of traveling in time.
Breakfast included wasn't great. There was not much variety. Staff seemed preoccupied, so getting their attention was difficult. It really affects the experience.
