Had a lovely stay here. Fantastic breakfast and service. Great location. I loved the history of the building and how they incorporated that into the theme of the decor. Complimentary tea, coffee and water provided in the room. Only warning is the mini bar prices are obscene at 10 euros for a small can of soft drink. No minibar price list provided and no physical copy of hotel services and protocol provided so you just need to memorise everything they tell you at check-in. The balcony was a nice touch but the view is just other other room balconies so not that necessary. Great in room amenities such as iron on request and capsule coffee machine. Sound proofing of rooms was not the best but bearable. Overall, would reccomend if you want a good breakfast, clean room and good location

Ok- if I could give this hotel 20 stars, I would. A great location, beautiful rooms and hospitality. Speaking of hospitality and overall personable 10/10 experience, Younis. Younis went over and beyond anything we could’ve expected. He truly has made the stay at Ecole an unforgettable one and we couldn’t thank him enough for his gracious hospitality. If you are looking for a world class stay in Istanbul, Ecole should be your first choice.

Great hotel with amazing service, good location and friendly working personal. Absolutely deserving his high rating. We had very worm welcome with wine and cheese board, room cleaning each day and free breakfast at two restaurants. All amenities are in room, still water, coffee and tea free of charge.

Our stay was for 4 days, we had 1 room and 2 suites. Absolutely one of the best stays i’ve ever had in Istanbul. The staff are really what make this place, they went above and beyond to any requests we made, the restaurant in the courtyard has great food, a lovely atmosphere and kind accommodating staff (the San Sebastian cake is the best i’ve tried in all of Istanbul). The location is great, right next to the Galata tower and most places of interest are at a walking distance. Thanks again to Batuhan, Yusuf, Gökberk, Yunus, Hakkan and the others who made our stay a joy. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

An exceptional hotel. They went the extra mile to mark my sons first birthday. Absolutely spoilt him with two cakes, drinks, baked biscuits and number 1 balloon, all on the house. My 3 year old enjoyed decorating the baked biscuits with icing. They upgraded us to a suite which was absolutely lovely and accommodated our needs. Every employee was helpful, friendly and took care of us so well. It was a perfect stay for my family. A great selection of breakfast too. The room was big and our bed was very comfortable. There isn't anything I can possibly fault. A big thank you to everyone. Ms Begum.

We had a very pleasant stay here. Situated at a central and accessible location, Ecole St Pierre is a small hotel that brings warmth and coziness - the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. The room we had is spacious, modern and the bed was comfortable. We enjoyed our stay here.

Very luxurious and comfortable rooms. The mattress and bedding are so soft. The hotel and rooms are super charming, modernized without removing the old charm out of it. Extra friendly staff who support any question and advice, and take the extra mile to make you happy. Thank you Batuhan, Berk and Yousef from reception and Hakan from breakfast restaurant for extra special personalized service. We received complimentary stuff almost every day of our stay in our room with cute little notes. Very generous hotel and staff. Food option for breakfast is a little limited for guests planning to stay longer.

Absolutely loved our stay here, the location and the hospitality of the staff has been superlative! I cannot recommend this property enough, blown away by the food and as well as the front desk concierge’s availability and graciousness during the Bayram holiday week! The ease of walk to the tram station (10-15 mins downhill walk to the tram station, 3 mins walk to Galata Tower, 7 mins walk to SALT Galata, 7 mins to Kamondo Steps) The food is phenomenal at the italian restaurant on site as well as the turkish cuisine restaurant with beach vibes next door - A great way to start your day as you head out! There’s no other place we’ll recommend in Istanbul for a fabulous stay!

We come to İstanbul often, and on our last visit we were delighted to stay at Ecole St. Pierre. The whole experience from walking into the hotel up until leaving was incredible. We were greeted by Batyrkhan (I think), and he was all politeness, took our luggage to the room, and otherwise was very helpful. The hotel itself is very tastefully decorated, and the location is just unbeatable, it's our favorite area to stay.

Lovely stay at the St Pierre. Location is just perfect for meandering the cobbled streets around Galata Tower. All the staff were most helpful, particular mention to Hakan in the il Cortile restaurant for looking after us so well - always serving breakfast with a smile, helps to set the day up nicely.

Truly a hidden gem near Galata Tower we felt like our Suite w/ Terrace was an escape from lively Istanbul....location was ideal in the historical part of town, with their own excellent restaurants, both inside & another outside w/ live music under the sky in the evening. Our trip was for pleasure & we would give the hotel 6 stars if possible as their staff: Yunis as Concierge at the front desk + Batuhan & Elgin went out of their way to please and assist. We felt protected, guided, pampered and relaxed at the Ecole - they even helped get us into a sold-out Jazz nightclub Sat. night (Nardis) nearby which is Istanbul's oldest and best! The Turkish breakfasts are served open-air under the perfectionist's eye of Hakan, manager and overall detail throughout this boutique hotel and attention to each guest is what made this stay delightful & beyond expectations!

Beautiful small hotel. It was nice to come back to a quiet and cozy room from the bustle and hustle of Istanbul streets. We received a very warm welcome by Yusuf. Yusuf was super helpful with our requests. Turkish breakfast served by Hakan was superb.

Hotel staff are attentive and extremely knowledgeable in both the building’s history and the local area. They are keen to share this with guests, their enthusiasm is second to none. Can’t fault this boutique style hotel, if you want luxury with a touch of old world, this is definitely a great base in Istanbul, right by the Galata Tower.

Charming Stay at Ecole St Pierre Hotel – A True Istanbul Delight! Walking into the Ecole St Pierre Hotel was like stepping back in time, thanks to its unique location within the historic Genoese Walls, built between 1304-1317 during the Eastern Roman Empire. This boutique gem in Istanbul wraps you in a cozy and inviting atmosphere, where history meets modern comfort. The rooms, well-appointed and snug, made settling in a breeze. From the moment we arrived, Gökberk, the receptionist, set a welcoming tone with his polite, professional, and warm demeanor, proving to be an excellent host. His attentiveness ensured a smooth check-in and a great start to our stay. Breakfast was another highlight, where the fresh, quality Turkish delights each morning set the tone with vibrant flavors and wholesome choices. Hakan, the attendant, provided service that made each meal delightful and memorable. For anyone looking for a warm, friendly place to stay, where ancient walls echo centuries of history and mornings start with exceptional service and flavors, Ecole St Pierre offers this and so much more. Whether you’re gearing up for a day of sightseeing or a leisurely day in, the staff here, from Gökberk’s warm welcome to Hakan’s breakfast service, will make sure you have everything you need. Don’t just take my word for it—make your next Istanbul trip one to remember by staying here!

Personnel très accueillant et gentil. Nous avons passé un séjour incroyable dans cet établissement. La propreté est très soignée ainsi que l’attention aux clients. Le moment du petit déjeuner a été très agréable grâce à la gentillesse de Hakan, le serveur qui nous a accompagné au long de notre séjour. L’emplacement à quelques mètres de la Tour de Galata est parfait. Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir une chambre avec terrasse qui avait une vue directe à la Tour. De même, le personnel à l’accueil a toujours répondu à nos questions. Je recommande vivement cet établissement.

Traveling in any major city, it can be hard to find a hotel with the right scale: large enough to offer experienced service from trained staff and high-quality F&B, but small enough to feel personal, relaxed, even residential. Ecole St. Pierre manages to balance these approaches well, with a high-quality boutique experience in a design-forward building. Tucked onto a quiet street in the old Genoese neighborhood, in the shadow of the Galata tower, this former school has been painstakingly renovated to craft a chic boutique hotel centered around a domestic courtyard, which plays host to the hotel’s restaurants and bar. The rooms are spacious, well-lit, and appointed with simple furnishings redolent of Scandi modernism: textured boucle fabrics in soft grays and blues, warm lighting filtered through rattan, plush rugs on oak floors. Our room featured a sitting room with a sofa, a massive terrace with a sofa, rocking chairs, a small dining table, and awnings—in addition to a comfy bed and upholstered headboard. We found the room to be the ideal respite from our adventurous exploring of Istanbul, and the location—in a fashionable neighborhood in the hills of Beyoğlu—both close to the action of Kariköy, Taksim square, and a short tram ride to Sultanahmet on other side of the Golden Horn and removed from the tourist traps of the Old City. Breakfast was a delight: table service of refined Turkish breakfast (much preferred to the breakfast buffet, which always seems so hectic) served in the hotel’s restaurant, with old city walls displayed in the dining room, and a plant-filled courtyard just outside. Service was attentive without being overbearing. When we needed assistance with restaurant reservations or even finding a doctor (thank you, Yusuf!), the staff were accommodating and quick to address our needs, whether by WhatsApp or in-person. In our last few minutes at the hotel, as we lounged at a table in the courtyard, staff immediately came over to offer us a parting coffee. I mentioned in our booking that our trip is a celebration of our 12th anniversary, and the staff kindly prepared a cake and bottle of wine for us—a thoughtful and much appreciated touch. For those guests who want a large resort (with a pool, hammam, etc.), this hotel is not for you. But for guests seeking a small, private hotel with courteous service, chic rooms, and a place to lounge in your downtime, this hotel is perfect.

I had the most fantastic time staying at Ecole St. Pierre while visiting Istanbul for the past five days, and cannot recommend the hotel highly enough. The location is excellent, the rooms are elegant and well designed and the decor is brand new but the best thing about the hotel is its staff. From arrival to departure everyone was, without exception, kind, gracious and welcoming, from front of house to the cleaning staff and wonderful Maître d’hotel Hakan. They went above and beyond every time, from upgrading the room to one with a beautiful Galata balcony view and providing a delicious cheesecake on arrival, to remembering a birthday and providing a cake in the room. I’ve never stayed somewhere with staff who are so attentive to clientele and the experience really made my visit. It was such a lovely, calm place to return to at the end of busy days spent exploring the city. The breakfast is also amazing and the hotel has two resident cats! I would love to return and highly recommend Ecole St. Pierre as by far the best hotel in Istanbul. Çok teşekkür ederim!
