Highly recommend this welcoming spot. This small yet luxurious boutique hotel nestled near the Galata Tower was perfect for our Istanbul getaway. The whole team is super thoughtful and attentive. They worked with us before our trip to help plan (restaurants, hamam, sightseeing). During the trip they were always available and helpful. The room was chic and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious. Note, we emailed them directly and got a better rate than online. Extra kudos to Yunus who took particular care of us during our trip and made sure we were taken care of with genuine hospitality. Thank you to the whole team!

We had a lovely stay at Hotel École St Pierre. The hotel is full of charm, perfectly located in the old city, in a beautiful historic building with a lot of character. The location is ideal for a weekend stay, with sights, tram, restaurants and cafés within easy walking distance. What really makes the difference is the staff. Everyone is incredibly helpful, kind and attentive. We received a lot of personal attention throughout our stay, which made us feel truly welcomed and taken care of. It is rare and very appreciated. The rooms are on the smaller side, but this is understandable given the old city center location and the historic building. There is no gym on site, but the hotel kindly arranges access to a nearby partner hotel, which is a nice solution. It can be a bit noisy at times, again part of staying in such a lively and central area. Breakfast is a real highlight. Served à la carte, it is very generous and delicious, with excellent quality. We especially loved the Turkish breakfast option. Overall, a charming boutique hotel with exceptional service, warm hospitality and a great atmosphere. We would happily stay here again.

Just a fabulous experience all around—perhaps one of the best hotels in Istanbul after staying at several (the Four Seasons Sultanahmet and Tom Tom are included it that list). Our stay at Ecole St. Pierre began with Natalie at the front desk, who is truly exceptional. We had just come from The Bank Hotel, where we’d had a disappointing experience, and she immediately eased our concerns about having a comfortable room. Everything from then on was top notch. The room was spotless and utterly charming (thank you, Elif—you’re clearly outstanding at what you do). The sheets were unscented, the bed very comfortable (both such an important details for us that Natalie ensured- a treat after the rock-hard beds and heavily scented sheets at The Bank hotel). Breakfast in the courtyard was both welcoming and delicious. Thank you to Chef Luigi for the healthy, flavorful Italian dishes, and to Gokay, Hamza, and Salih for your warm attentiveness in serving us breakfasts. We truly cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. A big thank-you as well to Berk for the late checkout and help with other things, and to the young woman Elcin who helped me arrange a doctor’s appointment at the eye hospital across the street! hats off to you Emer!!! Bravo on creating such a charming, memorable hotel.
