SuB Karaköy - Special Class

Very cosy and safe area

Pro’s:
Great safe location. Tons of good restaurants, right near different museums and very walkable to other attractions. The hotel and room was clean. The breakfast at the hotel next door was amazing! Service there was incredible,

Con’s:
Way too dark, it was horrible and very small. They need better lighting not just in the rooms, the entire hotel. It was so hot in the hotel I was miserable. The AC did not work in my room. Staff was ok, it would’ve been nice if they spoke English just a little bit better.

If you’re just looking for a place to sleep the hotel is fine. If you’re looking for bells and whistles you’re not going to get it. I only stayed for 2 days but I made plans to stay longer I would’ve changed hotels. Between it being so dark and hot, I would not have been able to last.

Side note - the restaurant on the 6th floor is great. I was significantly over charged. I will say the food and service was fantastic. It’s not affiliated with the hotel. I was exhausted so it worked in a pinch. Much better restaurants in walking distance.

The hotel is very close to almost everything you need

Great boutique hotel in a convenient and safe location near cafes, restaurants, and transportation. The lobby is great to work from and the rooms are comfortable and modern. The staff was also very welcoming and helpful. Shoutout to Arda for going above and beyond when I needed help!

Quite a bohemian funky hotel which we loved, in the heart of Karakoy, handy for transport links and in walking distance of many of the major sites.
Breakfast was in their sister hotel down the street but choice was rather limited. No fruit or fresh salad and nothing if you were vegan. The sister hotel had a spa but the prices were outrageously high.
Overall a good hotel to stay in with friendly reception staff who went above and beyond to help.

Incredible location, clean and well maintained.

Amazing place. The rooms are comfortable. The staff is super friendly! My choice in Istanbul always 😊

It used to be a beautiful hotel, needs a bit maintenance.

Great location near some lovely eating places and close to the Galata bridge and lots of transport links. Staff not very helpful or friendly but we didn’t need them much. Breakfast was tasty but no options just the same thing each morning. Fine for a few days but by day 5 I was a bit bored! Breakfast staff at the sister “root” hotel were terrible smoking at the entrance to breakfast room, not providing clean cups etc. Rooms were comfortable, clean and quiet.

Overall a good stay but a few down sides. Great location and clean rooms. Poor staff and breakfast though tasty can get a bit repetitive

Great hotel in a great location. The breakfast was especially good.

This property is literally a dumpster! They didn’t refund my money which is totally fine! I saved on my medical bill to not stay more than 15 mins there!

Great location and walkability. Staff needs better language and customer service training.

Very close to metro station and shopping mall, walkable and a lot of choices for dining

The property is ok nothing special ,very unprofessional receptionist, we’ve been given a room that was occupied with belongings inside , my safe ,tv and my lights did not work in the room also walking into the next building for breakfast is strange, definitely not a great experience,. Would definitely replace the reception to more professional and friendly faces

Location is good but definitely overpriced,
Very small room

Berat and other thay are so cool

The breakfast had moved to their sister property and since then it’s downhill. The worst breakfast ever.

Don’t look further and book this hotel and you will not regret at all.Location is excellent it’s only 2
Min walk to train station.ion street there are tons of cafes and restaurants.Receptionist was extremely polite and speaks perfect English.Design of the hotel one of a kind in Istanbul also I believe it was futures on CNN.This hotel is better then most 5 star hotel I have ever stayed in Istanbul.It’s very retro and natural.They kept the original future of the building.

Great value and location

This was the second time we stayed this room was much better than the kne before, close to everything and lots of restaurant's around the area, train stop very close, staff very friendly and helpful. Woukd recommended this place to stay
