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!!

I really love the location as it was close to amenities and moving around was convenient. Getting food was super easy. Also the staff were very friendly and always accomodating. The hotel was clean and the bed and pillows were really comfortable.

We got a room on the lowest floor facing the street with a doner and tea shop in front so it can be a little noisy with people chatting and delivery trucks making their rounds in the early morning. Also we often get whiffs of cigarettes and grilling of kebabs , though I guess smokers wouldn’t mind. Unfortunately I am a non smoker. A small problem that needs mentioning, though it didn’t bother me much, was the shower floor doesn’t drain out the water well. Also the wooden stairs bannister was wobbly which could be dangerous for an elderly guest who needs to hang on to it when ascending the split level room.

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.

You couldn't pay me to find a flaw with this hotel lol

Just in the center but still in silent location. Great tea outside. A lot of restaurants in short walking distance. Highly recommended.

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

Small rooms, but okay for city tourism. Mold in the bathroom.

Room was quiet even though it faced the street, it was well kept, clean and the bed was very comfortable. Staff were available and polite. Location is really good as it's a 5 minutes walk from the Galata bridge, from the Karakoy Galataport and a 10minutes walk to the Galata tower area. The ferry pier is also located right behind the hotel so you can easily hop on a ferry to other areas of the city. Karakoy is very busy at night, with plenty of places to eat/drink, despite this though the hotel sits on a really quiet street.

The bathroom looked a bit old / it's seen better days. Lot of limescale accumulating along the shower doors / guides, along with some grime. Could do with a bit of a makeover. Roof terrace doesn't seem to be in use if not as a smoking area and it's also closed by windows so not particularly enjoyable, which is a shame as it would have a partial but decent view over the sea and the Bosphorus channel.

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.

The location was fantastic only few steps to Karakoy ferry and around 250 meters to karakoy tram station . Halic metro station was also near around 6 minutes walk All The staffs were very cooperative and kind They were responsive at any time and to any demand .They offer water,tea and coffee free of charge at any time day and night I really appreciate Mr.Sener who was really friendly and helpful I will definitely come back if will visit Karakoy again

You have to book deluxe room if you want to have space at the room because as usual in Istanbul the rooms are very small

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.

Rooms are larger than expected for a European hotel, but may be small compared to North American standards. Some rooms have nice street views but others have no view at all, if you are specific it is worth contacting the hotel. The shower heads could be a bit leaky, but water pressure was great.

Excellent location in a quiet street, walkable distance to many attractions and also close to the tram which is efficient and easy to use. Reception staff were welcoming and helpful, especially Kemal who even walked us to the corner to locate our airport taxi, and Sener who also helped us the day we were leaving. The bed was very comfortable and our room was kept perfectly clean.

We found nothing to dislike but you must be aware that budget rooms are very small. Fine if you only have cabin bags but would not be suitable for anyone with large suitcases. At first we thought the noise from the nearby mosque might be annoying but it didn’t bother us at all.
