Ada Karakoy Hotel - Special Category

We have travelled in many hotels arround Europe, but this one was the best so far!! First let me begin with the staff: they were awesome, helped us with indications, recomandations and so on. Every member of the hotel was very polite and kind to us. I want to include here the cleaning lady, she was so kind and hard working. The room: was spacious enough for 2 people and very very very clean! I felt like home or even better! Every day we had fresh bottle of water, shower gel, shampoo and so on. Location: was near Galata bridge, in the heart of the city! Thumbs up for this place, it was 10/10!!

Ran out of the word limit writing my first review for this exceptional hotel! My wife and I booked three rooms at this hotel: one for us, and two for our mothers and sisters who were visiting Istanbul for the first time. We were very concerned about their stay (as the elderly are less flexible and our sisters are way pickier than us lol) and it took us days of thorough research before we made a pick. We didn't want a hotel with a fancy pool or anything, just a quiet, clean place to rest our heads at night and head out in the morning. Ada Karakoy is an excellent hotel! Situated in a flat area where you don't have to face steep inclines. The ferry port, bus stations, tram, funicular to Isteklal/Pera are all a 2 min walk. There's a money exchange right there and all sorts of eateries, sweets, pubs, bars, are a short walk. The hotel itself is peaceful and you'll have no trouble sleeping. Their beds are also super comfy. I can't stress enough how great the location is. There's free coffee with an awesome view on the 6th floor. The staff are all sweethearts! The Hotel Manager Mr. Onur is super helpful and very hands-on, so is everyone else at the front desk. They are very well coordinated, and anything you need is provided immediately. They upgraded the room for my mother and sister for free, and you can book tours from the front desk. The cleaning staff is very friendly and thorough. Your belongings are safe in your room. All in all, we never have to look for any other hotel again for any future visit to Istanbul. Like I mentioned, we were traveling with our families and had to be extra particular about things and Ada Karakoy was everything we could have hoped for, providing great value for money. It is very difficult picking a hotel in another country when all you have are online reviews to go by, but trust me when I say that you need to look no further than this place.

Most of the staff was very friendly and helpfull!! Top location!!

Ada Karakoy is at a perfect location in Karakoy as it's closeby to all the nice cafes and port but still in a quite street with no noise at night. It has a wonderful traditional turkish bakery, doner shop and kahva shop (all of which close by 5/6 PM) in the same street which was very convenient. It is very close to tram as well as metro station, both are at walking distance. The beds were extremely comfortable and the windows were completely soundproof. The air conditioning was amazing. The staff was super welcoming, friendly and helpful. They always gave the best advice when it came to directions of the city. Special thanks to Mr.Faruk for making our stay very comfortable and enjoyable.

This was the best place we stayed in our 3 weeks in Turkey. Ideal location, close to Sultanahmet, ferries to Kadikoy and the bustling Karakoy, but also a very quiet (but safe) street. Very clean, and incredibly comfortable with pillow top mattresses. The staff were exceptional, very responsive, and even walked us to meet our airport transfer at 4am.
