10/10 Excellent

Great hotel in a good location in Karakoy, walkable to many dining spots and the Galata tower. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and modern - however, I would definitely pay a little bit extra and book a spacier standard room rather than the economy room (which is pretty much just a bed and bathroom). Lots of options for coffee and restaurants (though the famous dining area running parallel to the hotel street is almost entirely Turkish food...which is awesome, until you start craving variety after a few days). I do think the hotel is a bit too dimly lit, but that is the chosen vibe of the hotel. Finally, the woman working the front desk is very friendly and cute :)

The best Root in Istanbul

The check in staff were very professional and helpful to us with all our requirements. Location was central to cafes, restaurants, shopping centre and the waterfront.

Excellent stay. Would specifically like to thank the friendly lady who reset our room daily and always greeted us kindly whenever we crossed her in the hallway. Excellent location in vibrant Karakoy.

Mariam, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was clean and exact as you look in pictures, the description about how close are the galata Tower, and Istiklal square was not even close, (the description says 4 and 8 mins walking which it is not true, not even in car...) The lobby hotel and other spaces look exactly as pictured and considere them very pretty!! the front desk service considered mediocre, as tourist non turkish language knowledge, asked some help asking one of the guys to talk to a company by phone which we needed some info, and didn´t show any urge or act of interest in helping us. Also, we where kind of lost trying to get to the hotel (walking) cause we didn't have a sim card at the moment to ask for a grab or uber and it was impossible to get there walking with bags due to the wrong info in description about the walking distance time. so.. more less the place was more than great, but would not stay again because of the average service.

This hotel is in an excellent location. Service was good, but there was too much of an effort by staff to recommend bookings for hamam, dining and the like. Hotel is a bit dark overall.

Good place to stay! Friendly staff. Had to make a couple calls to the desk for items that should have been in the room. They left the amenities a mystery we had to figure out as we went. Other than that it was nice!

Malek, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Immediately upon arrival, the toilet malfunctioned. I was there for three days and there was no fix. But what’s worse is they did not give me a discount. Disappointing. The breakfast was amazing. Room was great otherwise. Amazing location.

8/10 Good

Good location and close to attractions and tram. The Wifi is very slow and almost not workable so I have to use my cell data to connect to the internet. Also the taxi the hotel booked for me overcharged me to the airport. When I booked the taxi the front desk told me the charge will be a flat rate at 750 Lira (about $26) but when the driver dropped me off at the airport he asked for $35. I had to catch the flight and had no choice but paid him money. that is not honest and the hotel should not hire the taxi company.
john, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Uncomfortable

Room is super small. My friend paid for the exact same room $105, but I was charged $192. This made me very angry. On top of that the room was freezing and they could not control the air conditioner. Very small room to walk. Bathroom super small and uncomfortable. They didn't even had a transformer. Definitely paid too much for this hotel I feel robbed.
