Right away, we were treated with respect and kindness, and given a glass of water after the long and hot journey from the airport. We stayed in a beautiful room with a lovely view of the water. The breakfast was delicious. We would gladly return.

Location is key

An excellent location with most sites within walking distance.
Vusisizwe, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Value for money. Well placed close-by Galata and not far from the Sultan palace and all the ferry boats. The room was comfortable clean and well equiped. The hotel itself is small but nice and well maintained. Breakfast is ok, it maybe be better with little but is fair and the terrace where it is served is really nice
antonio, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was spacious and nice however it was first floor and it was next to the road. Therefore you could hear all the noise from outside. But the room itself was nice and spacious.

4/10 Fair

Not a hotel, just a bed and miserable breakfast. Don’t believe reviews saying breakfast was good etc… your breakfast at home is much better
Imad, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel has an excellent location near bars, cafes, restaurants and shopping stores. Also is near Galata Tower and many other attractions. The staff was very nice and helpful.
Luis Ricardo, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great stay at The Gift. The rooms are exactly as pictured on Expedia, the staff were super friendly, the breakfast offered was good. The area itself is very nice, close to the ferries that can take you to many varied districts in Istanbul. We were there for six days and had a wonderful time.

Selin, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent staff, very nice and helpful. My room in excellent condition, like brand new. Breakfast is good in the rooftop with a very nice view.
LUISA, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Absolutely wonderful boutique hotel nestled right on the edge of Beyoglu. Everyone on staff present was respectful and polite. The property was well maintained and incredibly charming. One thing to keep in mind is they tend not to answer the phone, so if you book through Expedia the airport transfer may be difficult to schedule preemptively.
Brendan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Charming staff and a great location with good interior design and an amazing view for breakfast. There’s no bar but you can take drinks up to the roof terrace to watch the sun go down.
jennifer, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent warm hospitality. The rooms are compact but modern and chic. My only complaint was the sound isolation between rooms and corridors. Breakfast is very good overlooking a seeworthy view across the golden horn. Hotel is located on a slightly steep road in case you walk there with luggage otherwise the metro is quite close.
Lance, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This boutique hotel is a gem! The rooms are very comfortable. They are well designed. The staff are extremely helpful. The location is excellent--it is close to Galata tower and many good restaurants. It is close to both the subway and tram. It was a wonderful stay.
Linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good hotel

Really nice hotel and great service and staff. Only problem was our room on the first floor was extremely loud at night as it’s facing the street. Was a pity as everything else was really great and we enjoyed everything else.
Salah, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A perfect hotel in every way!!! The staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very clean, tidy and everything is thought out. The terrace overlooks the sea and is always open. The breakfast is very delicious and fresh. The location is central, 5 minutes walking distance to Galata Tower and 8 minutes walking distance to Istiklal Street. It was the most comfortable, fun and safe hotel experience of my life. I would like to thank everyone who contributed. I definitely recommend it!
Damla, 3-night trip

Wonderful Experience

Wonderful experience! The hotel is new, extremely clean and well designed, with thoughtful amenities for a very comfortable stay. Location is short walk to Galata Tower (7 minutes) and Metro station (5 minutes). Staff were highly professional and went above and beyond. Very good buffet breakfast with wide variety of hot and cold options. Highly recommended hotel.
Gayle, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great experience! We had a great time and felt we had the best room in the hotel with our panoramic views from our balcony and everything! The staff from reception to breakfast team to everyone else were super hospitable and we would like to thank them. The rooms are really a lot better than the pictures and they have double insulated windows and when you close them you hear nothing from the street, plus you can have blackout shades if you like to use them. Definitely recommend!
Kia, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was an amazing find and would definitely stay again! It’s in a convenient area for shopping, tourist attractions, ferries/metro, and walking around to explore. It’s on a main road but the room was so quiet and had a great view of the water. The staff were so sweet and helpful, offered to call us taxis whenever they saw us heading out for the day, helped us find the nearest metro and gave suggestions of things to do. Also helped us send out our laundry as we’d been traveling for awhile and it was very affordable. Big breakfast spread in a rooftop cafe with beautiful views. The room was super clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Also the hotel is just beautiful design-wise; tons of cool art on the walls and tasteful decor.
Jane, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but not excellent

The hotel location is good, very close to the metro station, 10 min walking to galata tower. walking area around is not very difficult. the rooms are too small, and the AC was not really cold even it was at 18 all day. the breakfast is included but has no variety.
