Find Quiet Resorts & Hotels in Karaköy

"The Good: The staff are warm and welcoming, and the location is reasonably good: Nişantaşı, with its shops and restaurants, is about a 15-minute walk away; Dolmabahçe Palace is about a 10-minute downhill walk; and Taksim Square is about 15 minutes away, partly uphill. The hotel itself is fantastic, with a huge lobby, several luxury boutiques, and one of the best views of the Bosphorus – especially from its excellent rooftop bar, 16 Roof (featured on the photo; reservations strongly recommended). My corner suite was also outstanding: truly colossal in size, with a huge dining table, plenty of sofas and armchairs for relaxing, watching TV, or enjoying a glass of wine, plus a large terrace with a table and chairs and direct access to the outdoor pool. The suite included two bedrooms, kitchen, two enormous bathrooms with Grohe fixtures, and even a washer. The gym and spa are equally impressive, featuring large indoor and outdoor pools and multiple jacuzzis. An Executive Lounge is also available on the 17th floor. The Bad: Nothing really to complain about without getting too nitpicky. The Mixed: Breakfast options in the Executive Lounge are somewhat limited by Türkiye standards, but adequate. Summary: Overall, this is an excellent 5-star hotel in a good Istanbul location. The hotel is luxurious, comfortable, and offers all the amenities you could want - while also being highly price-competitive."
