8/10 Very good

Staff was great, lounge is great. Limited noise from the street. Location was awesome, just a block from the walking street. Rooms are small. I thought I booked a king bed but got a queen. In December the room was warm, almost too warm. We were on the 8th floor and had to crack a window for any ventilation. That sadly meant on Saturday night smoke was wafting into the room, I am guessing coming from the 9th floor rooftop. It’s a nonsmoking room however. Good value and felt safe though.

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.

Zahra, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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 :)

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.

Small Room

Room is too small and the price was 105$ per night without breakfast it considered up normal for this hotel.
Ahmed, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent location. Steps from fun coffee shops, restaurants, shopping and the cruise-ship port. Artistic youthful decor. Espresso drinks located in the lobby. Several rooms in the lobby for socializing but there's a quiet library on site for writers to write their novels and scripts. LGBTQ travelers welcome. Excellent breakfast on the top floor with stunning views of Istanbul. Rooms larger than other hotels of similar price in the neighborhood. We opted for a room with a living room and bed room and it was worth it. We were in the back and it was quiet and peaceful with views of Galata Tower. There's an elevator and luggage storage. Early check-in and late check-out is available upon request. I've stayed at five other hotels in the neighborhood. This is the one I recommend. Location is excellent. Vibe and rooms are artistic and welcoming. Most New Yorkers, Californians and Europeans will be happy here. This hotel is also the official hotel of the renowned Istanbul Modern Museum (located a few feet away and well worth a visit). This hotel is hip, chic, youthful, fun, welcoming and supportive of all artists of all ages from every country. Don't hesitate. This is the place!

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.
