Ecole St. Pierre Hotel

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. This was our first stop in Turkiye on our honeymoon. The reception, housekeeping and breakfast waiter team are all exceptionally helpful and friendly. There is a good selection of breakfast options too. Our room was immaculate and we truly appreciated the welcome prosecco to start our honeymoon. The location is also great - so close to the Galata tower but also reasonably quiet. Our only feedback point would be that the recommended hammam which we did on reflection looks to have been significantly more expensive than other similar experiences. Thanks you again to all the team for making this a memorable and special stay.

One of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. Everyone was genuinely friendly and the level of service was exceptional from start to finish. Every detail was taken care of, from the evening turndown service to the incredibly attentive staff at reception and in the restaurant. As someone who eats gluten free, I was especially impressed by how knowledgeable and thoughtful everyone was. Even the welcome drinks and snacks were prepared gluten free, which immediately made us feel cared for. A special thank you to Hakan and Mert in the restaurant, who went above and beyond to make every meal effortless and enjoyable. The reception team was also fantastic. They quickly arranged our airport transfer and made sure we avoided the traffic disruptions caused by a demonstration, which we really appreciated. The rooms were beautiful, spotless, and very comfortable. What really made this hotel stand out was the people. Their genuine hospitality and attention to detail made our stay truly memorable. We would return without hesitation.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Ecole St Pierre Hotel. The location is perfect—everything we wanted to see was within easy walking distance, making it an ideal base for exploring. What truly made this hotel stand out was the incredible hospitality. Every staff member was warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. From the moment we arrived, we felt so well taken care of. We were welcomed with a thoughtful basket and a handwritten card, which was such a lovely personal touch. Throughout our stay, the hotel kept surprising us with little gestures that made us feel special. We were treated to refreshing homemade lemonade, and one afternoon when we returned early, they served us traditional Turkish Ashure dessert along with a handwritten note explaining its history and significance. It was such a unique and memorable experience. The room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained every day. And if you’re a cat lover, you’ll fall in love with the hotel’s two adorable resident cats, Cashew and Pistachio—they made the atmosphere even more charming! We can’t recommend Ecole St Pierre Hotel highly enough, and we would absolutely stay here again on our next visit. Thank you for making our trip so special! ❤️

Beautiful boutique hotel in an excellent location right in the heart of Galata. The design, character and views are stunning, and the reception and housekeeping teams were fantastic throughout our stay. The bed was incredibly comfortable and we loved being able to walk almost everywhere in Istanbul. The reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that the overall experience didn't quite match the premium price point. Breakfast service felt inconsistent, the menu was fairly limited for a longer stay, and there were a few signs of wear and tear in our suite that I'd expect to be addressed at this level. We also found some of the third-party services recommended by the hotel, including airport transfers and excursions, to be significantly overpriced compared to arranging them independently. Overall, we had a lovely stay but wouldnt probably return. With a few improvements, this could be an excellent boutique hotels in Istanbul.

Everything is perfect about Ecole St Pierre. The view, the location and the people. Sply I loved the breakfast here during the stay. Hakan was very kind & sweet to serve us everyday.

It was a wonderful stay, the vibe and the breakfast at the outdoor seating was amazing and the staff are very friendly specially Hakan.

A simply superb hotel in the perfect location and even better service. Many highlights including pizza in the outdoor terrace and beautiful breakfasts each day that were delightfully hosted by Hakam. We will be returning and recommending to anyone we meet travelling to Istanbul

Wow!!!!! An amazing, beautiful, perfect location and superb service. From the reservation process, communication was incredible, promptly response and kindness all the time. Our check in was perfect, from reception to restaurant and our room impeccable, beautiful and luxurious amenities. Full of details; they welcome us with champagne and cake to celebrate my mom’s birthday, Istambul souvenirs and the view of a landmark, Galata tower, just one block away from it and the neighborhood with lots of cafes, stores and restaurants, walking distance to everything. But I want to recognize all the staff, they do and outstanding service; Burku, Natali, Gogberk, Bedirhan, Hakan, Elif, Ali, Elain and all the staff, smiles, greetings and service over the top, luxury, friendly, comfort and hospitality to the high standards! Thank you for a great and unforgettable experience!

Unfortunately, I had a very disappointing customer experience. Not what you would expect from such a highly rated hotel. Not recommended if you want anything different to standard nor if you expect decent treatment for the price you pay.

Замечательное пребывание в самом прекрасном бутик-отеле. Помимо самого отеля, фантастической еды и коктейлей, а также великолепного расположения, главным достоинством был персонал, который сделал все возможное, чтобы наше пребывание было приятным. Для них не было ничего невозможного, и в нашу серебряную годовщину мы вернулись в номер и обнаружили милую личную записку с бутылкой игристого вина и тарелкой домашнего шоколадного мусса, прекрасно приготовленного и украшенного замечательной командой поваров. В другой день мы вернулись и обнаружили бутылку охлажденного белого вина и тарелку свежих ягод с запиской с извинениями за шум, который был ночью – мы ничего не слышали! Не могу не порекомендовать этот отель. Спасибо за то, что сделали наш отдых таким незабываемым и особенным!

What a fantastic hotel situated just below Galata Tower. The vibe is very cool. The rooms are minimalist and very comfortable. The showers are powerful, the bedlinen is top class. The attention to detail is extraordinary. We had a delicious varied breakfast every morning with the friendly cheery Hakan in attendance. A great way to start the day. We ate in the Italian themed restaurant on the night of our arrival and it was delicious. We can’t thank the reception staff enough for their considerable attention even alerting us to events of interest going on in the vicinity. There are a lot of big chain hotels in Istanbul. If you are looking for something more original and with bags of style this is the place to stay. It’s well located with easy access to the metro, team and ferry stops. Nothing

Fantastic. Comfortable, luxurious, spacious room. Staff very welcoming & helpful. We were here for 1 night on a layover, they arranged airport transfers for us, & we had delicious dinner and breakfast at the attached Il Cortile restaurant. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Hope to return and stay longer.
