Istanbul is an amazing place and safe. The people were all very friendly and helpful, other than one taxi driver who ripped us off, we then made sure we booked taxis through the hotel.
Having purchased a beautiful rug from an established trader the family who took us out for a lovely meal. On another occasion we booked a trip to a traditional Turkish evening through the hotel which was very enjoyable and very good value.
The Pera Palas hotel is steeped in history and totally awesome. The rooms have been kept in original condition and are very clean. Breakfast was excellent too. If you want to see Agatha Christie's room just ask reception who will open it up for you. Even if you don't stay at this hotel pop in just to see the stunning decor including the loos and the coffee shop.
We changed rooms as we found the ones on the lower floor to be noisy at night although the rooms on the top floor were a bit smaller.
Make sure you take a huge suitcase to bring back all the shopping. We bought jewellery, bed covers, cushion covers, rugs, handbags (lots) as well as spices and tea.
We can't wait to go back again.
