About
Flower Palace Hotel

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Prime location in Sirkeci — Within easy walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and Grand Bazaar, with the main tram line, Eminonu ferry pier, and bus station around the corner.
- Friendly and helpful staff — Guests repeatedly mention the warm, polite, and cooperative reception staff, with one noting they even organized an airport shuttle.
- Good value for money — As a 2-star hotel, it offers affordable rates with clean, functional rooms and a highly rated breakfast, making it a solid budget choice.
- Clean rooms and strong showers — Several guests noted the rooms as clean, and the shower pressure as excellent, which is appreciated after a day of exploring.
–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Triple room is small — One guest found the triple room too small for three people, despite the double being an okay size.
- Housekeeping can be infrequent — A 7-day stay saw the room cleaned only twice, which may be a concern for longer visits.
- Rooftop terrace under renovation — The rooftop terrace, which offers a Bosphorus view, was noted as under construction in a recent review, so the view may be compromised until completed.
