We stayed at the Union Hotel Karaköy on our second stay in Istanbul and are very happy we did! It allowed us to see a different side of the city being in close proximity to the Galata Tower, Taksim Square, and the Galata Bridge. Our room overlooked the Golden Horn offering spectacular views. The front desk staff were extremely helpful (especially Omar) and our room was very clean and safe.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, even accommodating my early arrival without any hassle. The service was prompt and professional throughout my stay. On top of that, the price was very affordable for the level of comfort and hospitality offered. Highly recommended – I’ll definitely be returning!

Jessica, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It offers great view of the old town, and is in a convenient location. The immediate surrounding area is a bit industrial with a lot of construction related shops. However, many cafes and interesting spots are also with 5 min of walking distance and many main attractions are within 15 min. of walking.

Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I would highly recommend this hotel , the staff is friendly and very helpful, the hotel is near the major touristic areas , thank you !
Farouk, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Our stay at the Union Hotel was comfortable and convenient. Kasim (night staff) and Anna (day staff) were friendly and helpful. Anna even gave us free magnets as a farewell gift. Convenient Location & Amenities The hotel's central location made exploring easy, with trams and bus stops nearby. We appreciated the free water, simple breakfast (coffee/tea and Turkish bagel), slippers, and iron/ironing board (provided upon request). The water pressure in the shower was also good. Minor Issues We had an issue with the shower drainage, but it was fixed promptly. We also noticed the bathroom doorknob was loose and would fall off, but it didn't bother us enough to mention it. Solid Choice Overall, the Union Hotel is a solid choice for a convenient and comfortable stay. While not perfect, the staff were friendly, and the amenities were sufficient for our needs.
