Ada Karakoy Hotel - Special Category Reviews

Friendly, convenient location, you can order a car to and from the airport (50 euros for two people)

Domestic home-like level, hotel location is OK, others are average

The hotel is very central. The room is fine and the staff was very nice and helpful.

I booked a room that had stairs, but at the property I was told that I had to specify it as a special request. Please make sure you make it clear while booking the room. The rooms looked bigger in pictures. Also, the bathrooms didn't have hooks to hang clothes, etc. They are also very small.

The hotel was mediocre for business use and not large enough to enjoy the trip with a partner. I believe the name of the hotel “Boutique” can be misleading. But very accessible and convenient. The room amenity was so poor that they don’t give us tooth blushes. And small towels were not prepared. These points can be improved.

The staff were superb and so helpful. As a solo woman traveler they helped me navigate Istanbul and gave me recommendations on how to move through the city. The hotel was wonderful - quite, clean and convenient.

I had a lovely stay at Ada Hotel. The room was very clean, had everything I required. It was also very assessable to the areas I wanted to explore. The staff were lovely. I really enjoyed the company of Sener and had many a conversation about life, what was going on in the world, general chit chat. He also provided me with lovely things to do locally (museums, restaurants etc). He really made my stay most enjoyable. I would have no problem recommending this hotel to anyone. It's was perfect for what I was looking for. Thank you Victoria

I enjoyed my stays at ADA Karakoy. The front desk guys were very helpful and housekeeping was great as well. The location ,for me , was very convenient with easy access to ferries , trams, tünel, and buses. I would stay again!

The hotel is perfectly located in Karaköy, just nearby the Peninsula; walking distance to Galata Bridge. Lovely tea house in the street just in front the door. The staff is great, always ready to help you to whatever information you need. The place doesn't look great when you come in, however the rooms have been apparently recently refurbished and are really comfy with great bathroom (loved the shower). There is also a nice terrace on the top floor offering great views over Topkapi, Hagia Sofia, etc... too bad it's not open air one, and a pity they don't offer breakfast option.

The front desk Reception people were friendly and helpful and always available. I also liked the location close to the sea and the restaurants. Didn't like: rooms way too small and whole property did not match the website photos. Staff struggled with mechanical and electrical issues. TV had no channels in English.

Customer service was excellent, room was very small but area that the hotel is in was really good, close to the water and tram station, so it was easy to get around. Masjid right beside the hotel, so I could hear the athan in the morning which was really nice. Ask the front desk for any reccomendations for shopping! Thanks for a great stay!

Overall, I would describe this hotel as “functional”. Clean, simple, and close to Eminonu for easy walking. Rooms are small, even for a “deluxe”. Only issue was shower not draining at all… had to take quick 60 second showers. If you’re looking for a quiet and reasonable hotel that is close to everything, then this should serve you well.

We had a positive experience here - the location was central, the room was clean, and the staff was helpful. There was plenty to do nearby and public transit many sites was easily accessible. We would return!

Lovely hotel with super comfortable bed and helpful staff. They really go the extra mile to make sure we felt welcome, even surprising me with a birthday cake in the room. It was so kind that it left me speechless. The receptionists are so polite and friendly. One of them even lent us his transport card after the machine swallowed our last Turkish lira bills. The area surrounding the hotel, I dare say, is one of the coolest in town, with narrow streets full of charming bars and restaurants. It’s also a short walk from the main attractions on the other side of the bridge. Great in all senses!!!
