The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, even accommodating my early arrival without any hassle. The service was prompt and professional throughout my stay. On top of that, the price was very affordable for the level of comfort and hospitality offered. Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be returning! ##### Humera Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Luiz Oct 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great views (if you select the junior suites with view) at reasonable price however this is a boutique hotel meaning there's no common area like balcony or separate space to sit or lounge and no breakfast. Hotel has two separate buildings, the rooms with the views will be at the adjacent building which is a side entrance at an alley, you will have to climb up one floor of stairs (tight and inconvenient) to get to a small elevator which can take you to your floor. The staff were very friendly though. I think they advertised it as soundproof room but I could still hear much of the busy city despite being in the 7th floor with the soundproof windows. I only recommend staying here if you select the annex junior suite (sea view) which made up for the incovenience otherwise it's not worth it. ##### Luiz Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Farouk Jul 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I would highly recommend this hotel , the staff is friendly and very helpful, the hotel is near the major touristic areas , thank you ! ##### Farouk Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent place, location value Great place, front is excellent!!

The room we had was on floor 5 with a fabulous view over the river and the Sultanahmet district. The property was clean and the staff warm and friendly and genuinely interested in their guests and making sure they had everything needed. Berk, provided us with tea or coffee each morning if we wanted it at no extra charge. Lovely lad and we hope he enjoys his adventures in Slovakia next year. The location was excellent being at the foot of the hill for the Galata Tower, make sure you bring decent footwear. Great choice of eating places and a stone's throw from the Galata pier for ferries to the Asian side or the Galata bridge to get over to the Sultanahmet district where most of the big Mosques, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar and Egyptian Market are. Overall, great hotel with great staff in a great location. ##### Fiona Isobel Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Paul Nov 15, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Overall okay but not worth the price We took a room for 4 nights with a sea view, which was as expected, an impressive view. Check-in process was quick, and staff welcome was great. Overall, it was okay but for the price we paid it was not worth it and we did have some misadventures. Some of them below: 1) Noise level from street and especially from neighboring rooms was horrible!! You get used to the constant traffic noise from the street. But noise from other rooms is not acceptable. There is no insulation at all. You could hear anything happening around you. The first night we had some people staying next door and they were talking loudly non-stop until 3am. We have called reception twice to ask them to do something about it, but nothing changed. The other nights were still a bit better, but we could still hear ‘less noisy’ neighbors. This is unacceptable to have no insulation at all!!! 2) Second day: while we were out exploring the city, we received a message late afternoon from the hotel telling us that we needed to move rooms as there was an unexpected plumbing issue in the bathroom (pipe exploded). When we arrived, we were escorted to our room by a very unprofessional staff member. He would talk to us incredibly informally and make very bad jokes (this for the rest of our stay). One of the jokes was really racist. But the most important thing was that when we arrived in our room, some workers were already in with doors wide open and doing their things. We had to move our stuff while people were around us. ##### Paul Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick Nov 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and helpful staff! ##### Patrick Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Amira Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hotel-Amira-Istanbul.h3546734.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marmara Pera](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Marmara-Pera.h11691.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Hotel, Istanbul Sisli](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Hotel.h6250043.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at Sultanahmet - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-Sultanahmet.h443490.Hotel-Information) > > [Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hagia-Sofia-Mansions-Istanbul.h29743791.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Istanbul at the Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Istanbul-At-The-Bosphorus.h1856092.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Istanbul Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sofitel-Istanbul-Taksim.h42400472.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Quasar Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Fairmont-Quasar-Istanbul.h16385021.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Istanbul.h14428.Hotel-Information) > > [The Marmara Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Marmara-Taksim.h26048.Hotel-Information) > > [GLK PREMIER Regency Suites & Spa - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-GLK-PREMIER-Regency-Suites-Spa.h1876165.Hotel-Information) > > [Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sultanhan-Hotel-Special-Class.h1388776.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Wyndham-Grand-Istanbul-Kalamis-Marina-Hotel.h5484206.Hotel-Information) > > [Istanbul Marriott Hotel Sisli](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Istanbul-Marriott-Hotel-Sisli.h6771400.Hotel-Information) > > [CVK Park Bosphorus Hotel Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-CVK-Park-Bosphorus-Hotel-Istanbul.h6055713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sultanahmet Palace Hotel - Special Class](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sultanahmet-Palace-Hotel-Special-Class.h479516.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bomonti Hotel & Conference Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bomonti-Hotel-Conference-Center.h6226720.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Hilton-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h20867.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Istanbul City Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sheraton-Istanbul-City-Center.h38329865.Hotel-Information) > > [Conrad Istanbul Bosphorus](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Conrad-Istanbul-Bosphorus.h15234.Hotel-Information) > > [Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Sura-Hagia-Sophia-Hotel.h8046669.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Yavuz Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Yavuz-Hotel.h531232.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Istanbul by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-InterContinental-Istanbul.h521137.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h565576.Hotel-Information) > > [Dorne Suite Taksim](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Dorne-Suite-Taksim.h38494876.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Cevahir Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Grand-Cevahir-Hotel-Convention-Center.h972529.Hotel-Information) > > [Pera Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Pera-Palace-Hotel.h20555.Hotel-Information) > > [Elite World Grand Istanbul Kucukyali](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Elite-World-Asia-Hotel.h26886285.Hotel-Information) > > [Barcelo Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Barcelo-Istanbul.h32516024.Hotel-Information) > > [Swissotel The Bosphorus Istanbul](https://www.expedia.ca/Istanbul-Hotels-Swissotel-The-Bosphorus-Istanbul.h889869.Hotel-Information)
