Pera Neuf

"💕 The Pera Neuf is a tiny but charming hotel (only seven rooms) without a reception. 👉 It’s close to the metro (Şişhane), Istanbul’s pedestrian shopping street (İstiklal Caddesi;) and the Galata Tower. 🛏️ The rooms have a warm, almost Parisian vibe. And I loved having a kitchenette, even though there are many great restaurants and cafes nearby. 😊 The first time I stayed at the Pera Neuf was as a solo traveller, and I felt safe in this area, even walking around at night. The only downside is that there is no elevator, so don’t bring a big suitcase. 🌟 If you want to feel like you have your own pied-a-terre in Istanbul, choose Pera Neuf. It is one of my favourite places to stay and one that I go back to over and over again."
