About

O'Pera Okanli Suites

O'Pera Okanli Suites is a small, family-run property tucked into a calm side street in Beyoglu, Istanbul's historic heart. The building is an older Istanbul apartment block, converted into a hotel but keeping its original charm – high ceilings, parquet floors and a lived-in warmth that the area is known for. The location is the headline: Galata Tower is close enough to reach with a selfie stick, and the Sishane-Zemin Istanbul metro station is a five-minute walk, putting Taksim Square and the old city within easy reach.

The rooms are apartments in feel: soundproofed, with separate sitting areas, dining tables and kitchenettes. Many have balconies, some with the Bosphorus in view. The service style is personal – guests repeatedly mention the manager by name and praise the staff's attentiveness. Breakfast is served in the room on request. The property is small enough that the team can look after you properly, but it means there is no on-site restaurant or gym. This is a stay for people who want a neighbourhood base with real character, not a resort.

  • Soundproofed, well-appointed suites — Rooms come with soundproofing, balconies, sitting areas and kitchenettes; many feature Bosphorus views. Guests describe them as spacious, quiet, and comfortable for a good night's sleep.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited on-site facilities — There is no restaurant or gym – breakfast is served in the room, and the property is small. Guests looking for a full-service hotel may need to look elsewhere.
  • Some rooms may feel dated — While the classic apartment-style décor has charm, it may not suit travellers looking for ultra-modern interiors. A few reviews appreciated the older character, but it's not for everyone.
  • Check-in window closes at midnight — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 23:59, which could be inconvenient for late-night arrivals.
  • Mixed value for money at times — While prices are reasonable, some guests have reported experiences that didn't fully match expectations for the price, given the modest facilities.
