Vera Life Hotel

Lovely hotel that we stayed in for 6 nights in May and would highly recommend!!!! We were greeted by a very friendly and helpful Gentleman on the front desk. Our room was on the 3rd Floor and was very light and spacious with 2 doors that opened fully overlooking the side street below. There were complimentary slippers, toiletries and 2 bottles of water per day, a kettle with tea and coffee etc and a fridge/mini bar, very soft towels, air conditioning, very good Wifi and wall mounted television. Tucked away just behind the main street down a side road (do not be put off by this) with a tram stop within a couple of minutes walk! Extremely central to the sights with the Grand Bazaar literally a few steps away and the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern just down the road. PS - If this is your first visit to Istanbul then you will not go hungry as there are places to eat everywhere and shopping bargains to be bartered for everywhere too 😉 !!!

Very clean and friendly staff. Ideal location and only a stone throw away from the Grand Bazaar and the metro link. The rooms are modern in design and there is a safe and a mini bar. There is 24hr front desk and there are plenty of places to eat near by. The staff were accomodating and helpful with local information with regards to shopping, food and transport. The breakfast is moderate but the drinks and food need labels and would benefit from some more variety. It was same every day.

Clogging in the drain and the sink. Couldn't use the sink at all. We had to ask them to clean the room (otherwise it wasn't done). It was not possible to be in the bathroom because it smelled so bad from all the drains, even though they had "solved" the problem with the sink. A smell from the drain through the toilet that made it impossible to be in the bathroom at all. No air conditioning, so very hot and bad air if you don't open the window (and then it makes a lot of noise from the street outside). The breakfast had milk that had been left for a long time without refrigeration and no coffee, we had to go out and buy our own breakfast instead. Meat and diary that had been left without cooling for a long time did not feel healthy. Nice staff the first two days.

Tarrible hotel. Horrible service. The staff is not nice at all. This is the first and the very last time that we will ever be booking in this hotel. My advises to you is to pick anoter hotel. We came out with bad feeling

The breakfast is not bad as compared to some other hotels around here.

Staff and hotel beautiful but lots of cats and very annoying when Eating and walking past.

Center of old city. Walking distance. Very clean and reasonable price. I would love to stay agin.

Our stay was very comfortable. My husband and I were celebrating an early wedding anniversary. Everything was very clean. Staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. Housekeeping was exceptional 😃 Great variety in the breakfast meals. Entrance is on the backside. Within walking distance to many sites.

We had a good stay Staff very friendly and food was good
