Guest Reviews
- David (6/5): -
- Claudia (10/5): A nice traditional small hotel in great location - We have stayed at this property several times and love the location. Plus we very much appreciate a traditional hotel as so much of the area is changing . It has a feel of a hotel that has seen many changes but still is warm and welcoming, small enough to feel intimate and that the staff knows and cares about you. They were also very good with arranging airport transfers at a good price. It was our type of hotel. Rooms were fine in size and clean and beds comfortable so no real complaints . There is a mosque next door and the call to prayer may bother some but it was part of the culture we came to experience
- Maria (10/5): - Everything was perfect!
- Guillaume (9/5): Séjour au top, je recommande cet établissement. - L’emplacement !! Dommage que le rooftop ne soit pas plus mis en valeur
- Carlos (7/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): - Many things including a wonderful attitude they displayed in relation to their guests. It is tough to say what I did not like because I did evaluate excellent every aspect of their service.
- Ali (9/5): Convenient location, comfy for a small trip - Ada Karaköy Hotel is very conveniently located nice to the Karaköy bridge, next to the boats, surrounded by nice cafés and resraurants. Some rooms, and the terrace, have a view on the bosphorus. Rooms are nice, beds comfy and windows well isolated. Room walls are a bit thin so you sometimes neighbour guests
- Leonardo (9/5): -
- Kalin (10/5): - Локация е прекрасна както и персонала!
- Alexander (10/5): I was delighted to have a few nice days to stay at Ada Hotel. - The attitude of the stuff was exclusively wonderful. They were very attentive to all the concerns I had. They were ready to go extra mile to meet my expectations and to be available at any moment I needed them. I would like to provide an example: for many dayes I was unable to make a reservation for a wheel chair. It took the front desk administrator a few minutes to fulfil my request. From my own experience it is very tough to deal with Turkish Airlines. At the moment I cannot say something definite on this score.
- Luiza (10/5): - We stayed at Ada Hotel in the Karaköy district of Istanbul and were very satisfied. The hotel is in an excellent location — practically in the center — with easy access to any part of the city: by ferry, tram, bus, or even on foot. Everything is nearby and very convenient for tourists. The hotel itself is clean and well-kept, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The staff deserve special mention — they are polite, responsive, and very helpful. The price pleasantly surprised us — a good, affordable option without overpaying. For us, it was exactly what we needed: when you travel as a tourist, you spend most of your time exploring the city and come back to the hotel to rest in a clean, calm, and cozy room. If we visit Istanbul again, we will most likely stay here. We were left with very positive impressions. We recommend it based on our personal experience — it might be a place that others will also enjoy. Rating: 10 out of 10 ⭐ Honestly, we didn’t notice any real downsides during our stay. Everything was exactly as we expected, and nothing caused us any inconvenience. The hotel fully met our needs, so we really have nothing to complain about. Overall, it was a very smooth and comfortable stay.

- Armin (9/5): Wir würden wieder dieses Hotel buchen. - Tolle Lage, mitten in Istanbul. Alle wichtigen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig erreichbar. Einige nette Restaurants direkt in der Nähe. Sehr freundliches und zuvorkommendes Personal, die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war prima. Tolle Dachterasse. Leider gibt es hier kein Frühstück aber in direkter Umgebung ist das problemlos möglich. Preis / Leistung für die Lage ist absolut in Ordnung. Ganz besonderes Lob an unser "Zimmermädchen“ - wirklich sehr herzlich. Çok teşekkürler 🫶🤲 Auch die Rezeption war sehr hilfreich - z. B. unser Taxi zum Flughafen war zu spät, da wurden wir tatkräftig unterstützt. Nichts zu beanstanden!

- MIYUKI (10/5): 自分の家の様にくつろげました。 - ポートのすぐ近くにあり、ユスキュダルやカドゥキョイなどへのショートトリップにも便利な立地でした。 屋上で朝日と海を見ながら飲むコーヒーは格別に美味しかったです。 朝の6時半にお祈りを告げる爆音が流れるので初日はビックリしました笑
- Celine (8/5): -
- eric (8/5): - Friendly and attentive staff Excellent location Flexible Check-in times The Hotel, as the city center, is due to mass tourism overpriced
- Wioleta (8/5): - Hotel w doskonałej lokalizacji. Obsługa bardzo miła i szybko reagująca na problemy. Pokój ekonomy jak na dwuosobowy bardzo mały, ale będzie idealny dla jednego gościa. Dla dwóch osób mało miejsca na ubrania.
- Erdal (7/5): qua locatie ideaal om paar dagen te verblijven - Top locatie matras was niet zo best en de tweepersoonsbed was klein 140cm

- Regine (9/5): Beautiful Hotel in Great Location - Rooms - Modern, well maintained and clean. Location - Easy to get anywhere in downtown Istanbul using the tram and ferries. Great access to nearby restaurants and port. Facility - Loved the dining room at Level 6 where we could enjoy the sunset. Getting there - Took HAVIST bus from airport to Eminonu and walked one tram station across the bridge. Very convenient. Note - Our room came with a staircase - which was special and we liked it. Not recommended for small children and elderly. Nothing!
- Francesco (10/5): Incantevole❤️ - Posizione ideale, circondato da locali negozi e attrazioni molto particolari. Un’attico con vista sulla città incantevole.
- Guest (5/5): عادية جدا - الموقع كان جيد صغير ولايوجد اي خدمات فقط سرير ودورة مياه
- JOSE GUILLERMO (8/5): Buena opción a buen precio - La ubicación es muy buena, casi hicimos todo caminando. Tiene accesos cercanos a metro, bus, etc. Su terraza es linda y la habitación cómoda y limpia.

- Ismetcan (10/5): Gerne wieder und sehr empfehlenswert! - Das Hotel war sehr sauber. Das Personal freundlich und die Lage des Hotels super.
- Marina (10/5): -
- Sridhar (10/5): - Excellent location, very helpful staff and convenient restaurant.
- Marco Henrique (3/5): - Ottima posizione per visitare la città, staff gentile e disponibile. La struttura è completamente da rivedere. La camera matrimoniale standard è di dimensioni irrisorie, dunque sconsigliata per chi soffre anche solo leggermente di claustrofobia, ma non è questo il problema. Al nostro arrivo in camera abbiamo trovato la carta da parati staccata dal muro ed un evidente problema di muffa (stanza 504). Dopo aver protestato, il manager della struttura ci ha gentilmente offerto una stanza più grande (stanza 507) nella quale però il soffione della doccia era difettoso e c’era un buco nel soffitto del bagno (probabilmente mancava una lampada). La cosa peggiore però è che la stanza 504 era già stata riassegnata nel pomeriggio, di conseguenza posso presupporre che il problema della muffa sia stato “risolto” semplicemente incollando nuovamente la carta da parati.
- fd0702 (10/5): - location was great near public transportation staff were nice and helpful and tended immediately to the water draining too slow in the shower terrace at the top floor
- Guest (10/5): I will definitely go back, loved everything there. - The staff was very nice and accommodating. Loved them. I dont have any complaints.
- Angela (8/5): - The hotel was in a great location. The rooms were very small and we had understood that we would be able to get drinks, or, at least coffee on the top floor. However, this was not the case.
- Philip (10/5): Generally ok. Taxis driver was speeding and refuse on the air-con. I don’t understand. - Staff service was very good above our expectations. Staff namely Onur and Shani. I have knee problem. There were like 5-6 steps between bed and bathroom. No good for me. Room was smaller than what I booked.
- Jason (8/5): - The WiFi could be better. It was dropping on me and get slow at times. The room was very clean and comfortable.
- Murat Ufuk (10/5): -
- Esra Aysen (7/5): - Es hat alles was man braucht. Die Lage ist Top, Die Wände sind sehr dünn.
- Sabina (10/5): Einfach top – perfekte Lage, superfreundliches Personal, alles in Gehweite! - Das Personal war unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Lage ist perfekt – die Fähre ist direkt nebenan, alles ist zu Fuß erreichbar, alle Sehenswürdigkeiten und Attraktionen sind in unmittelbarer Nähe. Es gibt nichts Negatives zu erwähnen. Alles war großartig.
- Maria (8/5): - La posizione è ottima La stanza mancava di cura nei dettagli.. ma che, fatti notare, sono stati rimediati subito
- Javier (10/5): - Hotel room was very clean and bed was VERY comfortable. Rooms are small but you visit Karakoy to walk around town, not to stay in your room. Great, friendly service and BY FAR, the best location in Karakoy, you can walk easily all over, including a brief walk across the bridge. The hotel is beautiful and a very good value.
- Marsel (10/5): - Our six-night stay at Ada Karaköy Istanbul was absolutely wonderful! ✨ From the very first moment, we felt the warmth and genuine kindness of the staff, which lasted throughout our entire stay. Everyone – from the reception to the housekeeping team – was always smiling, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome and at home. 🏨💙 The rooms were clean, comfortable, and carefully maintained every day, adding an extra level of comfort to our visit. The location is perfect for exploring Istanbul, but the true heart of this hotel is without a doubt its incredible team. We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for genuine hospitality, warm smiles, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely return! 🌟 A little bit poor shower system.
- Guest (9/5): - They were very friendly and the place was quite clean and affordable. I liked the 6th floor space where you can make tea and coffee for yourself and relax or work there. It's also very close to Galata tower and so many other tourist attractions, restaurants and also cost to the water.

- Marcus (10/5): Perfect location! - The hotel is located in a fantastic location, close to public transport, the Bosphorus, and many tourist attractions. The staff were very helpful and kind and we would be happy to stay here again if we come back to Istanbul! Nothing
- Amine (10/5): Exceptional - The payment via booking was easy, the perfect location of the hotel near karakoy port, the staff was smiling and friendly, the room was perfectly clean each day m,and secured i really recommended this hotel... (Thank you guys also for the early reception ) 🫶 Nothing at all everything was perfect
- Julian (8/5): Excellent value for the price. - The hotel was perfectly located, with both the Asian and Europan sides easily accessible by foot, tram or water taxi. Excellent restaurants with fantastic food options, great shopping, and major sights were all close by - literally within walking distance of the hotel. Despite its central location, the hotel was very quiet. We absolutely loved our stay. The room was very clean and cozy, though it is not the most comfortable for two - felt like a shoe box. The bathroom and shower were also rather tight and it was impossible for two to be in it together.
- Thanya (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location. We can connect to Tram, Bus and boat within 2-3 mins walk. There are also some nice restaurants nearby. -
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional - Awesome location very central and safe. Room was perfect and staff were awesome N/A
- Jo (8/5): Great staff and location nice and comfortable - Location 24hr reception that were so helpful and friendly Comfy bed So quiet when the windows were shut, soundproofing was excellent Bathroom fittings were loose on the shower and the loo seat, if you had a rainforest shower the whole room was soaked.
- Jose (10/5): Istanbul and the best hotel - Ada Karakoy is an incredible choice for accommodation in Istanbul. The hotel is very beautiful, as are the rooms. Everything was amazing, but without a doubt the best part was the people who work there and the location. You can walk everywhere; the port is three minutes away. They were extremely kind to us, helping us coordinate transportation to the airport and assisting us with everything. Thank you for making this trip even better. If I return to Istanbul, I will definitely stay at this hotel.
- Timur (10/5): Great hotel for a short stay. Convenient location. -
- Juan (9/5): Great value, quiet, friendly - We stayed four nights on the last week of May 2025, Shenar at the reception was very professional and friendly, everyone at the hotel was very nice, on the first night right after arriving we took a shower and noticed the shower was draining too slowly, we called the reception and they switched us to another room right away. There was always a bottle of water, tea and instant coffee in the room. The location is very convenient, on a quiet block, close to the Galata Bridge, the Galataport complex with modern shops and restaurants is 10 minutes away, tram stations is a few minutes walk away. Room was quiet with A/C and comfortable bed. None
- Natalia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mauro (8/5): Hotel comodo al centro e confortevole - Tutto perfetto
- Yaroslav (10/5): Exceptional - Great altitude to the guests, everyone was very friendly and tried to help as much as they could. The best location near the ferry and 10 minutes walk to Galata tower) definitely would like to return !
- Muhammet Ali (6/5): - 1 gece konaklamamız oldu. Odalar beklediğimizden küçüktü maalesef. Otelin konumu itibariyle de otopark olmadığı için çevredeki fırsatçılara gün doğmuş yüksek fiyattan aracınızı park etmek zorunda kalıyorsunuz. Otelde restoran hizmeti yok. Dışarıdan sipariş veriliyormuş kullanmadık. Genel olarak temiz ve konforluydu ancak otopark olmaması odaların küçüklüğü ve restoran olmaması eksi puan maalesef.
- Vasilki (10/5): Exceptional - The location, the staff, the cleaning. Everything was amazing. I will definitely go to this hotel again next time.
