Guest Reviews

• sinan (10/5): mükemmel bi yer harikaydı - mükemmel bir yer hertarafa yürüme mesafesinde ulaşabiliyon geze geze 15 dakka sürüyo bütün tarihi yerler
• DIMITRIOS (8/5): - Excellent location , rooms are not very clean and neglected. Reception staff were very helpful and friendly especially Murat and Abdullah. Breakfast is so basic and served outside of hotel, in a street canteen.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - It was simply the most terrible hotel I ever stayed at. Even though my reservation was for 7 nights, I was only able to last for 1 night and then I had to go to some other place. The room didn't even have enough space for me to unpack my bag. The bedsheets and towels were not clean, and the door was broken, the air conditioning didn't work, the bathroom smelled, and ... . I can't say enough about how awful the experience was. The only good thing about it was the beautiful view of the room and friendly staff.
• Muzaffer (2/5): - Das dreckigste Hotel in Istanbul. Müll von den vor Besuchern lag noch im Zimmer rum. Schimmel, rost an den Armaturen, überall schmutz. Sofort wieder ausgecheckt. Einzig positive war das man mir den Betrag sofort ausgezahlt hat.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Hvis du kun skal bruge beliggenhed så book - Beliggenhed er vanvittig god, ellers er værelset for småt, morgenmad er ikke noget at råbe hurra for, der er koldt på værelset.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Guleryuzlu calisan sayesinde rahat ettik konforlu ve temizdi ve ozellikli konumu cok iyi
• Ayse (2/5): Ailecek tercih etmeyin - İyi yanları sadece çalışanların güler yüzlü oluşu Kötü yanları 1- otopark yok ve gecelik 40₺ 1 km uzağa bırakabiliyorsunuz 40₺ fazla ödeyip otoparkı olan bir otel tutmak daha mantıklı 2- otelin kapanmayan bir havalandırması var tam yatağın üzerinde uyumak çok zor devamlı motor sesi ve toz atıyor odaya 3- temizlikte kötüydü yorgan çarşaflar değişmemiş 4- balkon yok 5- çocuklu ailelere tavsiye etmiyorum
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Lage war sehr gut.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Top ligging Donderdag, vrydag en zaterdagavond Jazzavond in de bar en rooftop met het nodige muziekgeluid tot middernacht
• Yilmaz (8/5): - Ist wirklich ein sehr schönes Hotel mitten von Istanbul gut zum Taxim und aber auch zu Bazar alles in einem sehr schönes Hotel ein wunderschönes Dachterrasse bezaubernde Ausblick wirklich fantastisch und ein vielfältige Speisekarte mit sehr gute Weine!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Perfekte Lage freundliche Mitarbeiter Aber sehr sehr kleine Zimmer Nett war auch zwar klein aber sauber und gemütlich Der Boden war nicht gerade sauber
• Alex (8/5): - Like the location and friendliness of the staff, Galata neighborhood is charming with great shops and cafés. Rooms are clean and in good shape considering how old the building is. Also liked the restaurant with good choice of Turkish wine and spectacular views of the city. Disliked the cleanliness of the breakfast restaurant, that also operates as a jazz nightclub Disliked the loud music and stomping coming from rooftop restaurant on a Friday late night. I suggest breakfast to be served on 9th floor for the views.
• Yoyce (10/5): - This property is very close to Galata Tower. So if you don't mine the crowds and the noise this Hotel is a very good choice.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - In den ersten zwei Nächten (ein Donnerstag und Freitag) konnte man ab 22 Uhr SEHR laute Musik mit starkem Bass hören, wodurch das einschlafen schwer fiel. Diese kam aber nicht von der Jazzbar unter dem Hotel sondern von wo anders. Die Musik hat bis 1 oder 2 Uhr angedauert.
• Rolf (8/5): En vecka i Karaköy - Trevligt hotell i extremt centralt läge vid Gyllene hornet. Nära Galatabron, spårvagn, bussar, båtar, t-bana. Nära basarområdet och kryddmarknaden etc...Rummen små men med ok ac och wi-fi. Rent och snyggt. Receptionen i minsta laget om man är ett gäng som stämt träff för att ge sig ut på stan men å andra sidan bemannad med trevlig personal som kan sitt Istanbul. Minus: frukosten kunde ha varit lite generösare och mer varierad.
• Jessica (10/5): Toppie - Goed hotel en heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Der Service Personal war einfach supernett ..Das Hotel war sehr sauber und nah zu einkaufen
• Erik (10/5): Great hotel - It was great.
• MARIA (2/5): - Não tem nada de “hotel boutique” este Purl. As únicas coisas boas são o chuveiro do quarto 602, a cama e a localização do hotel. O resto não condiz com a descrição e nem com o valor cobrado. O café da manhã é pobre, não tem nem um suco, nenhuma torradeira, nenhum iogurte ... não tem as coisas básicas ... e o café estava com gosto de queimado. Temperatura do quarto: eu estava com calor, botões não funcionaram - liguei pra recepção e o atendente disse que o hotel está neste período de “inverno” (primavera com 20 graus lá fora) apenas com aquecimento - então ou ele aquece todos os quartos do hotel ou desliga. Se eu estava com calor, a única opção seria desligar, não teria ar condicionado para refrescar l. Teria que abrir a janela e ficar com o ultra alto barulho da rua, carros, buzinas, música ao vivo do primeiro andar do hotel, além de cheiro de gordura pelos ares. Os atendentes, tanto da recepção, quanto do restaurante do térreo e da cobertura, de um hotel super bem localizado pra turistas, praticamente não falam inglês, ou seja, pra um hotel, fica bem difícil a comunicação. Quarto 602: telefone não funciona, tem apenas 3 cabides pra roupas de 2 pessoas, quase nenhum canal na TV, bem apertado (metragem super pequena) com uma cama enorme que não condiz, frigobar dentro do armário esquentando as roupas e objetos dos hóspedes. Elevador mínimo, então prepare-se pra aguardar ou use as escadas. No título mencionei que parece um hostel, não q hostel seja ruim, preço conta.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Also es ist zentral ist in karaköy zu Taksim zu Fuß 10 min zu Sultanahmet mit dem tranvay 15 min aber Hotel Ansicht mit Sauberkeit oder möbeliesrung enttäuschten wir hatten 5 Tage lang Geruch von Kanalisation ich hab es reklamiert aber es wurde nichts gemacht wir müssten ständig lüften und die Türe zum Bad geschlossen halten und das war sehr schlecht
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Das Hotel ist echt in einer guten Lage und bei den Preisen darf man sich eigentlich nicht beschweren, aber der Lärmpegel am Samstag in der Nacht war kaum auszuhalten. Wir bekamen auch angeblich ein Upgrate aber doch war das Badezimmer einfach viel zu klein. Das Personal hingegen war sehr sehr freundlich und wie gesagt die Lage war super.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice clean rooms. Good service and perfect location.
• SAMET (10/5): - HARİKA COK GÜZEL VAKİT GECİRDİK. TEMİZLİK ÖN PLANDAYDI . MEMNUN KALDIM
• Verified traveler (8/5): Sehr gut - Sehr empfehlenswert... Service fabelhaft sehr nett....
• Amélie (10/5): Séjour très agréable - Le séjour était tres agreable, la chambre, surclassée, comfortable, propre. L'hotel est très bien placé à mi-chemin entre le centre historique et le coeur moderne, avec le tramway juste en bas. Le personnel était serviable et sympa, merci à Burak et Aytun à l'accueil pour leur aide et amabilité!
• Tina (6/5): - Es gab einen Brand im Hotel. Ich fand die Unterstützung danach gut. Wir wurden unverzüglich in ein anderes Hotel versetzt, jedoch fand ich es schlecht das während dem Brand keine Sirene ertönte stattdessen die Mitarbeiter versucht haben die Gäste telefonisch zu erreichen. Dadurch das der Brand tagsüber war gab es keine verletzten. Ich will es mir nicht vorstellen was passiert wäre wenn es Nacht passiert hätte.
• Nelly (6/5): - Prys niet in verhouding -----------------------------
• Kafkas (6/5): - it is located in the historic district but very difficult location, impossible to stop with a car, impossible to park, no bellboy, no vallet .. very small bathroom.. and very noisy due to the restaurant/bar ..
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice location and atmosphere around Galata Tower. Kind and helpful staff.
• Joshua (6/5): Great location crappy hotel - Room was very small and bathroom was not so clean. The air conditioner sucked and the noise from the street was very loud. The elevator was broken and stopped on every floor. The entrance is strange and you have to carry your luggage up a set of stairs.
• Rachel (8/5): Convenient for the sites - Easy access to the Galata Tower and Istiklal Cadesi which is full of eateries and bars. Tram stop to other main attractions only 5min walk from hotel. 4 out if 5 nights stayed were quiet, final night (a Wednesday) there was a party in the restaurant upstairs and the music kept us awake until 2am. The rooms are small with no where to store luggage but for a city break where you just want somewhere to sleep after a busy day sightseeing that's not a problem.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel with good tram connections - Nice hotel very close to tram station and a short 5 min walk across the bridge to restaurants and mosques. A few short stops on the tram to arrive in main Istanbul area around Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace. Room was very small but we made do. Mini Fridge was not working and asked staff several times to have a look at however they kept forgetting. Although in the end they offered to bring us cold water to our room instead.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Die Lage ist super! Zimmergrösse enttäuschend - Die Lage ist Top. 100 m zur Galata Brücke und wenn man den Berg hoch läuft (an vielen süssen Geschäften vorbei) Ist man direkt am Galata Turm und dann direkt auf der Istiklal. Das Hotel ist auf kleinen Raum gequetscht. Wir hatten Standard Zimmer gebucht aber das ist wirklich sehr sehr klein mit einem mini Fenster versehen mit Blick zur Seite. Das Frühstück lässt zu wünschen übrig. Man bekommt einen Teller mit Salat, 3 Scheiben Käse und bei Glück eine Scheibe Wurst. Also nicht typisch türkisches Frühstück. Dazu eine tasse filterkaffee. Direkt gegenüber ist ein kleiner Imbiss die verschiedenen Paninis und Döner machen....da kann besser in den Tag starten. Die Sauberkeit war hingegen Top! Wir waren 4 Nächte dort und haben über die Größe locker hinweg reden weil wir eh nur zum schlafen dort waren und die super Lage das ganze locker ausgleicht
• So (10/5): - Petit hôtel très bien situé. Chambre confortable et contemporaine. Excellente literie. Nous n avons pas profité du bar et du restaurant, il y a tellement à faire dans les environs... A recommander.
• Parisa (8/5): Good place to stay - Morning staff very good, but the night receptionist (avoid him at any cost, he is not trustable)
• Verified traveler (10/5): Hervorragend - Das hotel ist empfehlenswert sauber central direkt gegenüber von öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln wie Tünel, metro, man kann in 5min in istiklal sein oder in eminönü .. top lage auch alleine besuchbar zimmer unbedingt meerblick nehmen top aussicht
• Yetkin (6/5): Oda küçük :( - Otel merkezi bir yerde ama oda çok küçüktü :(
• Chen (10/5): The front desk Urmit has been very helpful. - Highly recommend for any guest to look out for front desk staff Urmit whom has been very helpful throughout our entire stay. Great service! Thank you.
• Verified traveler (8/5): a nice hotel with great locaion - a nice small hotel with great staff and sevice. nice modern and sexy small hotel room with huge mirrors next to the bed. not too fancy but in a great area just between the more modern part to the old city and market. have fun.
• Onur (10/5): Good experience - Not spacious but comfortable rooms. Excellent location, friendly staff, clean.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Yetersiz! - Konumu iyi... Eğer ekonomik oda tutarsanız hizmet de ekonomik olur.. Yüksek fiyatlı odayı tecrübe etmedik,, Bizim kaldığımız kat 8. kattı,,8. katta parti vardı ve ben hangi şarkı çaldığını bilebiliyordum,, tüm baslar odadaydı..recepsiyon görevlisi hizmet sektörü mevzusunu çözememiş... Kendi içinde problem yaşayan otelin bana dert yanması hoş değil,,vs vs
• Fatih (10/5): Kaliteli bir yer - Odamızın manzarası harıkaydı. Karaköyün tam merkezinde. Odanın dizaynı, konforu, döşemelerden tutunda yatağına kadar herşey harikaydı. Sevgilimin doğum günü için özel bişeyler hazırlamak istemiştim. Reception görevlisi ümit bey sağolsun cok ılgılendı bizimle. Jestleri de oldu. Bukadar kaliteli bir gece gecırcegımızı düşünmemiştim. Bundan sonraki tek tercihim burası olacak ...
• Oguz Alp (8/5): Hizmet ve Organizasyon 0 - Otel konumu çok güzel ancak işletme ve hizmet kısmında bazı sıkıntılar var. Lobide danışacağım resepsiyon görevlisini 10 dakika bekledim, sonrasında kendim gidip buldum. Tarihi yarımadaya yakın bu kadar güzel bir otelin işletmesinin bu denli kötü olması çok garip.
• Hasan (6/5): Mükemmel olması gerekirken, yazık olmuş !.. - Böylesi güzel konumda vasat bir hizmet anlayışı. Yazık olmuş ...
• Verified traveler (2/5): proche du trame, mais pas du tout 4* comme indiqué - proche de trame, mais accueil décevant, chambre très petite, taches sur les toilettes, un projecteur sur la fenêtre qui clignote toute la nuit, heureusement que ce n'était qu'une seule nuit
• Engin (10/5): - Sitenizde yer alan restaurant yerine fasıl var,rezervasyon şart,yemek ylyemedik
• Verified traveler (10/5): Affordable boutique hotel - very central. great staff.
• Phillip (10/5): Great stay in Istanbul - Umit front desk was fantastic. Very nice man. Check in is not 24hrs as stated. Its 2pm. Great central area in Karaköy...walk to the mosques, Taksim, Galata or Bizaar....love Istanbul and this hotel had exactly what i wanted for 2 nights. Clean room, great bed, air con....mini bar...the works!!
• chronic travele (8/5): Great view of the water while relatively quiet - I started at Purl hotel for 4 nights and overall is was a good experience. Walking distance to things in Kadiköy and nice to just wander back as I pleased. Room was clean and large (duplex) and bed was pretty comfortable. The sofa was comfortable to lounge in as well. Now the problems including smoke coming in the room from adjacent rooms and the hall way was not nice. The staff did clean and spray the hallway but it still had that smell of cigarette lingering. My room for the most part was smoke scent free. Also the carpeting in the third floor Hall is disgusting and should be just pulled out because of for traffic. The other issue is the wifi, almost non existent. It connects but my free Sprint service was faster at times. Staff were very inventive, scheduled a taxi for me and always had a smile on their faces. Also first night the safe was locked and the TV didn't work and the staff member jumped out of his seat after asking if he could come see it now and everything was resolved in under 5 minutes. Overall, thanks for the great stay and will keep you in mind for my next stay in Istanbul. Cheers
• Verified traveler (6/5): Very good location! - Very good location, two minutes walking to Karakoy Sahil. It's amazing to have a cup of coffee there in the morning with fantastic view. The room is okay but would it be perfect if there was a balcony, but unfortunately all the rooms do not have balcony!
