Guest Reviews
- Mehmet (10/5): - Otel personeli çok ilgiliydi ve konaklama çok keyifliydi. İstanbuldaki en iyi otellerden birisi..
- Asma (8/5): - اقمت في هذا الفندق وكانت تجربتنا جميلة جدًا، وكانوا متعاونين معنا لأبعد حد.
وأخص بالشكر المانجر أحمد التركي، وكذلك الأستاذ أحمد المصري، والاستاذ فاتح والانسة الي معهم على حسن التعامل والتعاون والاهتمام، فعلًا ما قصروا معنا وجعلوا إقامتنا مريحة جدًا. شكرًا لهم على أخلاقهم وخدمتهم الراقية،
- Garcia (5/5): No lo recomendaría y no volvería - Sin desayuno !! La ubicación , es una zona oscura de negocios de baños , con inodoros en la calle y no muy segura de noche
Nos llevaron a otro edificio que tenías que subir un piso por escalera , jamás lo aclararon y yo tengo problemas de rodilla
La habitación era solo con buena vista y limpia
Éramos 3 , solo dos vasos y dos tazas
Para cualquier cosa teníamos que bajar 9 pisos por ascensor y luego una escalera muy larga
Me molesta que No lo digan !!! Es una falta de consideración no avisar si alguien tiene una patología y no puede subir escaleras
Mi hija no podía salir sola ya que la zona es muy oscura
Está cerca de todo es verdad !! Pero no para volver caminando
La propietaria apenas me retiraba pedía que ya pongan una buena reseña del hotel y me miraba el celular , me molestó muchísimo que sea así
- Isabel (10/5): Wonderful and much more than I expected - This place is a real marvelous find! I am a travel agent and I’ve been in more than a few hotels in Istanbul. I finally found the best hotel for my style of traveling. Rooms are spacious, staff is super helpful and the view! OMG! Looking forward to coming back soon! Nothing
- Nasser (10/5): شكرا لهم كنت أتمنى يمنحوني وقت للمغادرة حتى الساعة 1 م لكن يبدوا الغرف مشغولة - حميمية الموقع
- Hector (10/5): Fue excelente , cuando vuelva a Estambul estaré nuevamente por ahí - Excelente todo y el personal es excelente !!! Es excelente
- Konstantinos Fragkakis (10/5): - - For apartments on higher floors, there is excellent view over "The Golden Horn" and Sultanahmet
- Very friendly staff
- Very clean appartment
- Walking distance to main monuments
- Faihan (10/5): - مكان نظيف
- Samia (7/5): Personnel exceptionnel mais beaucoup trop bruyant. - La localisation dans Karakoy, la vue exceptionnelle, la gentillesse exceptionnelle et la disponibilité du personnel, la propreté Le bruit partout et tout le temps. Nous avons choisi cet hôtel pour la vue et elle est exceptionnelle. Mais il est très mal insonorisé et on entend en permanence soit le bruit de la rue qui est très passante, soit le bruit des voisins (on avait l'impression qu'ils étaient dans notre chambre). Les boules quies sont plus qu'indispensables mais elles ne sont pas suffisantes pour pouvoir se reposer. C'est dommage mais je ne reviendrai pas.
- Hussain (10/5): -
- Sandra (10/5): - Tolle Aussicht und sehr zuvorkommendes Personal.
Wasser wird grosszügig zur Verfügung gestellt.
- amina (10/5): -
- Keanu (10/5): - The staff are so friendly and the room is clean
- Markus (10/5): - Sehr gute Lage, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Mitarbeiter sehr empfehlenswert 😊👍
- Gulnar (9/5): На ресепшене хорошие менеджеры, приветливые и компетентные,особенно доброжелательный был Фатих, завтраки отсутствуют в о - Чистый и большой номер Вид красивый. но дерево перекрывает основной вид из окна.
Слишком дорого заплатили за вид на море
- davis (10/5): -
- ابراهيم (10/5): -
- Lisa (9/5): Fantastic golden horn views, comfortable room - Schone en comfortable kamer. Simpel ingericht.
We boekten specifiek voor het prachtige zicht op de Golden Horn en dat was echt fantastisch.
Locatie is heel goed en centraal (alles is makkelijk bereikbaar), alleen is het wel gelegen aan een drukke weg dus wij hadden wel oordopjes nodig om te slapen.
Ik zou wel aanraden om hier te verblijven als je houdt van een uniek uitzicht zoals wij.
- Florian (7/5): -
- Liviu (10/5): - The view over Bosphorus was spectacular The neighborhood is a bit dirty bit the hotel is perfect
- Marcel (8/5): - Wir waren 5 Tage im
Hotel und haben uns dort sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Das Personal ist super hilfsbereit und gibt viele Tipps. Jeden Morgen gab es Kaffee, Tee, Wasser und Kuchen als kleinen Start in den Tag. Die Lage ist super und man ist direkt in wenigen Metern am Ufer oder der Metro/Bus. In direkter Umgebung gibt es mehrere kleinen Supermärkte oder Bäckereien.
Die Ausstattung ist modern und renoviert. Wir hatten das Zimmer 801 mit unbezahlbarem Blick über den Bosporus inklusive Galabrücke, den Moscheen & Co. Absoluter Hammer.
- Sara (9/5): - L'équipe est très gentille et très réactive à nos demandes. Malheureusement la proximité avec la route très passante engendre beaucoup de bruit la nuit. Je pense que plus haut dans les étages, le problème est moindre.
- Cosmin (7/5): - Staff was nice Very bad sound proofing. The hotel is located in a very noisy area also during the night
- XAVIER (10/5): - Emplacement génial, personnel serviable et de bon conseil
- Rodrigo (9/5): Ideal para visitar lo esencial de Estambul - Esta cerca de varias atracciones y lugares entretenidos para visitar caminando Esta ubicada en una calle muy bulliciosa y fea.
- المطيري (8/5): -
- Arbr (10/5): Great Staff and very helpful, and a perfect location, near galata tower tram and port -

- Mariia (10/5): - Отель прекрасный - номер просторный, чистый, всё свежее, вид потрясающий! Уборка номера была качественная. Очень удобное расположение - близко общественный транспорт и главные туристические места. Персонал очень радушный и вежливый, всегда готовы помочь и угостить турецким чаем. Всё понравилось, в следующую поездку буду снова останавливаться в этом отеле всё было прекрасно
- Karima (8/5): - L’hôtel est propre , la chambre est confortable.
Les chambres donnent sur la rue
- بيدو (10/5): -
- Gökhan (10/5): -
- Jean-Myrtil (10/5): Un hôtel idéalement situé pour profiter pleinement du Bosphore et du centre d'Istanbul - localisation idéale, suite junior au 9eme étage avec vue imprenable sur le Bosphore et la Corne d'Or. Isolation sonore insuffisante, bruits de la rue perturbants pour le sommeil.
- Chrisoula (9/5): - Ολα πολύ ωραία ! Ευγενικό προσωπικό και όμορφο δωμάτια
- Ales (10/5): -
- Eftychia (10/5): -
- Gregory (10/5): -

- Granell (9/5): - La ubicación y la amabilidad del personal. El cuarto de baño tenía poca luz

The location is very good, I recommend this place.

- Egor (9/5): - Location, very good for all means of travel car, taxi, cab, tram, metro
- Zerrin (10/5): Het hotelpersoneel was ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam! Het hotel zelf was brandschoon en we hadden een adembenemen -
- Zinaida (10/5): Всё понравилось! - Заселили пораньше, чисто, все работает, свежий ремонт.
- Luca (10/5): -
- Valentina (10/5): Замечательный чистый отель с потрясающим видом - Прекрасный отель с очень чистым и уютным номером! Впервые столкнулись с таким хорошим обслуживанием в Турецком отеле! Понравилось все: чистота номера, расположение, уборка и самое главное-вид из окна. Советую! Обязательно приеду еще раз!
- Furkan (10/5): - Locatie uitstekend, hotel hygiënisch, zeer klantvriendelijk
Dit is mijn 2de komst aanrader
- Wang (10/5): - very clean, very comfortable, excellent view. I will defenitely come again
- Zhang (10/5): 10 out of the 10 in Istanbul - Everything is so much good, the view, the service, I like. Nothing
- Ekaterina (10/5): - Simple and stylish design, comfortable, a lot of light.
- IOANNA (10/5): - Our stay at the Union Hotel was absolutely outstanding!
From the very first moment, the staff made us feel truly welcome. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and always willing to help with anything we needed, constantly checking in to make sure everything was perfect.
The room was spotless, cleaned every day with fresh towels provided regularly — a level of care we really appreciated. The view from our room was simply breathtaking and made our stay even more special.
The location is ideal, as we were able to explore everything on foot without any difficulty.
Honestly, 5 stars are not enough to describe this experience. We will definitely choose this hotel again on our next visit to Istanbul!
- Dimitra (10/5): - Ευγενέστατο κ πολυ εξυπηρετικό προσωπικό! Οτι κ αν χρειαστήκαμε μας βοήθησαν! Καθαρο κ βολική τοποθεσία εισαι κοντα σε όλα τα αξιοθεατα.
- Valeria Dell'Aquila (10/5): Camera con vista - Pulizia impeccabile.
Camera molto spaziosa e nuovissima.
Nonostante avessimo una camera "con vista parziale" (quarto piano), dalle vetrate si godeva una bellissima vista sul Bosforo.
Il personale molto cortese e gentile.
La posizione semplicemente perfetta: 4 minuti a piedi dal tram 1 che porta al centro storico in 8 minuti; 10 minuti a piedi dalla torre di Galata; 10 minuti a piedi dai traghetti che collegano tutta la città, compreso il lato asiatico.
Ci siamo trovate davvero bene! L'unico commento negativo non è relativo all'albergo. È una zona che è diventata molto turistica, con i suoi pro ed i suoi contro. La via dell'albergp però è ancora molto "local" e si trovanp poccoli commerci frequentati da persone del luogo.
- Haiven (10/5): -
- Lecic (10/5): Nice hotel in great location. We will stay there again when we come to Istanbul. - Clean and very comfortable place in the heart of Istanbul. Close to the all main attraction of Istanbul and a public transport so you can go whereever you want. Very kind and helpfull employies Fatih, Ahmet and Azaz made our staying very pleasant. From the top floors of hotel you can see Golden horn and Hystrorical part of Istanbul and have a wonderfull view. We didn’t get that rooms with a view. We had a room on the second floor, but room was nice and clean and we were always out, so it was not such a big issue for us.
- Johanna (10/5): -
- Lelia (9/5): -
- Sven (8/5): -
- Nazim (10/5): Agréable - La vue Rien
- KUAN-JU (10/5): - We were welcomed by staff Fatih, Ahmet and Aziz, all of them were very nice and helpful.
View from ours rooms was so amazing.
- Rebecca (10/5): Amazing location with Bosphorus views, friendly staff and clean facilities - Amazing views and walking distance to Galata. Breakfast isn’t available at the property however they do serve coffee and cake in the morning and cafes are walking distance. More so convenience of having breakfast on site would add value to stay.
- GRANDE (10/5): -
- Sara (10/5): Vista, localização, conforto e funcionarios nota 10 - A vista do nosso quarto era espectacular. Melhor que as fotos até. A localização é ideal, perto de Galata Tower com muitos restaurantes e atraccoes. Tambem facil de chegar ao centro da cidade. A limpeza era feita diariamente e as toalhas trocadas todos os dias. Os funcionários muitos prestaveis e simpaticos. O Fatih, o Ahmet, Azar e o Kasim tornaram a nossa estadia sem duvida mais agradavel. Merecem a nota 9.8 do booking. Nada a apontar, tudo perfeito.
- Michaela (10/5): -
- Christina (10/5): -

- Abdel Monem (10/5): -
- Sabine (7/5): - Vue sur la Corne d'or exceptionnelle. Chambre spacieuse et lumineuse. Personnel serviable. Hotel situé sur une rue très bruyante. Chambre à la décoration minimaliste. Lit d'appoint manquant de confort.
- Qi (10/5): 非常好,很喜欢伊斯坦布尔~ - 绝佳的位置,距离码头地铁站电车站都可以步行到达,附近还有地下电车可以体验,石塔和大桥步行可达,附近的美食也很多,看钓鱼和猫咪也非常惬意
工作人员非常热情贴心,帮忙拿行李还给我们提前办理了入住
感谢老板送的冰箱贴 房间临街哦(不过对我们影响不大,走路累到倒头就睡)
- Helen (10/5): Great value hotel with amazing views - Staff were friendly and helpful
Great size rooms in annexe with amazing view
Clean and comfortable
Convenient location for ferry, metro, bridge, restaurants etc
Good value for money Hotel is surrounded by DIY/hardware shops which are all closed up at night when it’s a bit dark & solitary - but only 5 mins walk from main area and didn’t feel unsafe. Road can be noisy
- Reno (9/5): -
- Jan (9/5): -
- anne (2/5): Je déconseille - Rien Le personnel
- Olga (10/5): -
- EVANGELIA (10/5): - Το ξενοδοχείο ήταν μια πολύ καλή επιλογή για τη διαμονή μου. Ο χώρος ήταν καθαρός και άνετος, ενώ η θέα από το δωμάτιο ήταν πολύ όμορφη και έκανε την εμπειρία ακόμη πιο ευχάριστη. Το προσωπικό ήταν ευγενικό και πρόθυμο να εξυπηρετήσει σε ό,τι χρειάστηκα. Συνολικά, έμεινα ικανοποιημένη και θα το επέλεγα ξανά.
- Joan (10/5): Lugar para volver! - No se puede pedir más, buen servicio, limpio, amplio y buena ubicación. las vistas de las habitaciones de los pisos superiores eran fenomenales, vale la pena pagar la diferencia y alojarse en los pisos de arriba. Nada que objetar
