6/10 Good

Es wurde mir ein ruhiges telefonisch versprochen. Es wurde bis 4:00 morgens so laut Musik gespielt, dass selbst bei geschlossenem Fenster es noch laut im Zimmer war. Bei Beschwerde wurde mal gesagt, dass die ruhigen Zimmer sehr klein sind. Bei der nächsten Beschwerde gab es angeblich keine Doppelbetten. Die Lage ist sonst super - mitten drin

房間寬敞,舒適及設備齊全。員工友善,服務態度良好。整體不錯。不過,由於位於酒吧區,晚上較為嘈雜。

It was situated above a bar and the loud music played up until around 2-3am every night. It was horrible.

Hotel bom, café da manhã baixa qualidade.

Hotel bom, mas nada demais, fiquei hospedada por 6 noites, , bem localizado, mas o café da manhã é muito fraco, nao tem quase nada de opções. Na primeira noite me deram um quarto super pequeno que nao condiz com o tamanho descrito no site, no dia seguinte mudei de quarto mas tive que pagar um valor maior. Funcionários simpáticos, mas eu não voltaria a me hospedar por causa do café da manhã de pouca quantidade.

10/10 Exceptional

The location is amazing. 5mins to the ferries and 15 minutes to the Galata Tower and 25 Minute Walk to be at the Bazaar over the Galata Bridge with an amazing view. Stayed here for the second time, the street is lively, full of restaurants and bars and very safe. Hotel staff was very nice and a good room with a good bathroom :) Breakfast is rather small but always fresh and there are options all around. :)

Dear Nabu Team, Thank you very much for your kind message. We were very satisfied with our stay at your hotel. Everything was excellent — the hotel was clean, the breakfast was just right, and the location was perfect. It was very easy to reach everywhere we wanted to go, as public transportation was very close. What impressed us the most was the friendliness and helpfulness of the hotel staff — especially Mr. Fatih, who was incredibly supportive and kind. We are definitely planning to return, and we will gladly choose Nabu Hotel again for our next visit. Best regards, Lanja Ahmad

Hospitality was phenomenal, we were thinking of taxi from hotel to Port, but instead, one of the hotel staff carried our luggage and escorted us by foot to the port, saving us time and money. This is above and beyond any expectation, and it shows kindness of this place.

Our experience at Nabu was great, located in a perfect area to see the Galata Tower, the port promenade and much more on foot, a quiet area but with enough great places to dine and more. Totally recommended.

I think of NABU as my home in Istanbul. The area is lively and so convenient to everyplace I want to go. I won’t try to mention all the staff name as I am uncertain of spelling but they are all great!
