the hotel comfort and the price-quality rate are very good for this small hotel...I enjoyed the lunch there and teh ospitality of teh personnel of the hotel...I suggest you to try once in Istanbul

The Lina Hotel Taksim Pera is a place I’ve stayed at on a number of my trips to Istanbul over the years whether on my own, with a girlfriend and recently with my 80 year old mum and it never fails to disappoint. It’s become like my home away from home. It’s a beautiful boutique hotel housed in a historical building where Paul Parma the Italian tailor of the Ottoman Palace and his family lived (but more importantly it does have a lift 😊). Centrally located in the Beyogulu district: around 300m from St. Anthony of Padua Church, 600m from the infamous Istiklal Shopping Street and Şişhane Metro and 300m from Nevizade Street (Nevizade Sokak) where the party is on any day of the week or season. The tasteful décor, oil paintings and parquet floors throughout the property lend a feeling of comfort and opulence blending in modern amenities such as free hi-speed Wifi, an iPod docking station, digital radio, fridge and the air conditioning and heating ensure that you’re comfortable when visiting during any season. A coffee machine, free bottled water and a kettle are also provided and one can enjoy beautiful sea and city views from the rooftop terrace. More importantly the property management understand Turkish “misafirperverlik” well. They are professional & hospitable and Mr. Murat is extremely efficient and goes out of his way to ensure that ones needs are met and that you feel at home.

The hotel is centrally located, the location is accessible to the most famous spots so that everyone can visit them! The staff and especially Murat are very helpful, friendly, willing to help you with the area and anything else we needed either in the hotel or outside the hotel! The building where the hotel is located is very old with its own history, it definitely needs some upgrades but it remains vintage which makes it unique in the area we stayed in!

- great, central location - spacious room with private bathroom and everything that we needed - amazing balcony view with soundproof windows - super nice staff, especially Murad - very nice and soft bedding - everything was very clean (cleaning lady came everyday) - efficient, yet not harsh air-conditioning

Location is perfect, within 5 minutes walk you can be in Istiklal Street, and 15 min walk to Taksim Street. The staff are super helpful and great, I arrived to the hotel with a Taxi from the airport, the taxi driver called the hotel to confirm the location, and since the hotel enterence is not on the main street, one of the staff members asked the driver to wait with me until he comes himself to help me with my lugage, even though it's just less than a minute walk. I met with Murat & Shahir from the staff and they were both so helpful. The room size was big, and there was always hot water in the shower. the room was really clean. Over all, I'm more than satisfied with the hotel.
