Small new hotel in center of busy area. Location is really good - just start of street with a lot of local restaurants that leads to Galataport area and 5 minutes walk to tram station and Galata bridge. Everything is new and of high quality, including furniture, amenities. Good cosmetics provided. Overall sound isolation is also ok - with comments in minuses. Check-in and check-out very fast, reception guy is really welcoming and ready to support if you have questions.

Be advised - they did not have breakfast (missed this during booking) - so if you need it - have a budget for nearby restaurants (and there are plenty within 2-3 minutes walk). Room size is overall ok (not big) - but ceiling is low (around 2.2-2.3 maybe only) - if it's important to you. Despite very nice repairs - it seems that door is completely get any sound through - anybody passing by, cleaner working - so on, it's good that hotel is small and people are rare there. And some rooms are with windows on top of restaurant - so there is a background music coming through window anyway till 23-30. Personally I was to tired to be bothered by it - but if your sleep is very delicate - ask for room with windows to other side.

Excellent hidden-gem of a hotel in a fantastic location. Rooms were huge by Istanbul/European standards, and very well renovated. Staff very friendly and helpful. Felt like a 5-star stay without the same pricetag.

The main door to the hotel room itself was very thin, and so often heard other guests coming and going. The curtains were also slightly broken in our room, and so blocking out the light required some creative positioning of our luggage.

It was very comfortable, clean and no smoking in the room. The rooms are modern, the bed and pillows are cloud comfy compared to other hotels I visited in Turkey. Turks seem to prefer hard mattresses and pillows vs plush. The entrance does not do justice to the rooms which are modern and well designed. My room was on the fifth floor (top). No noise from the busy mostly pedestrian street close to neat cafés and kebabs, Italian restaurants and pubs! It’s in a nice neighborhood of Galata and is near the port. Just have to cross the bridge to go to the spice market, Blue mosk and Grand bazar. You You have to try the pomegranate tea and pressed juice in the street. Amazing.

One thing I would ask them to add is an espresso machine as they serve instant coffee in the room. This to appeal to an international crowd. Keep in mind Turks drink Turkish coffee and tea. Also, they offered a good service but the front desk had difficulty speaking English and referred very basic touristy restaurants.

My wife and I recently stayed at Casa De Port Hotel İstanbul and had an excellent experience. The location is absolutely perfect—situated in the heart of Karaköy, a vibrant and historic district that’s just a short walk away from the Galata Tower (about 10 minutes), the Bosphorus (5 minutes), and the famous Istiklal Street (15 minutes). You’ll find yourself surrounded by charming streets, boutique shops, and a plethora of dining options. The hotel is also conveniently located near key transport options. The Karaköy Ferry Terminal is just a 5-minute walk away, offering easy access to various parts of Istanbul by boat. The T1 Tram Line, Halic Metro Station, and the Tunnel (a historic underground funicular) are also nearby, making it effortless to reach all of Istanbul's iconic landmarks, including the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. One thing to note is that the hotel does not offer a breakfast service, but this is actually a plus. The area around the hotel is filled with fantastic places to eat. We highly recommend Namli Gurme, which offers an incredible variety of Turkish delights and delicacies. If you're looking for a cozy spot for coffee, Rafi is just around the corner and serves excellent brews. The hotel itself is very well-maintained, with daily housekeeping that keeps the rooms spotless. We particularly appreciated that they provide a liter of water each day, which is a nice touch. The Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, which was perfect for both work and leisure during our stay. Additionally, the check-in and check-out processes were quick and hassle-free, making the start and end of our stay smooth and stress-free.

However, there are a couple of downsides to be aware of. Since the hotel is surrounded by lively restaurants that stay open late, it can be quite noisy at night. We would highly recommend using earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Also, despite the hotel’s non-smoking policy, some guests unfortunately ignored this rule and smoked in their rooms, which is absolutely unacceptable. Overall, Casa De Port Hotel offers a great blend of comfort, convenience, and local flavor, but it’s important to be prepared for some potential disturbances. Despite these issues, we would still consider staying here again on our next visit to Istanbul.

Excellent location, very close to many tourist sites and public transport. The room was very large and nicely decorated Air conditioner is a single unit, so you can control the temperature Staff were excellent and very helpful and friendly

Shower is slightly small Some fittings were a bit loose Can be noisy at times due to its location

The hotel was everything we asked for.The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city..near every major sightseeing...and safe to walk anytime, day or night. The stuff was very polite , especially Nevzat. He is the kindest hotel employee we have ever seen. He was always with a smile and he helped us so much during check out with the taxi communication .For almost an hour during heavy rainfall he was going back and forth to find our driver , out of politeness . The room was very spacious, comfortable , clean , and fully equiped ( bath amenities, slippers , water and tea etc) and so was the bathroom. I would stay there again for sure when i revisit Istanbul!

Very friendly staff, the location is really nice, the hotel itself has everything you need, everything worked properly, very clean

It could shine noisy for people who haven’t stayed in Karakoy before. The street is very vibrant, full of cafes there people stay till midnight. But I personally love this charm

A high spec hotel in a fantastic location near Galaport. The rooms were big, finished to a high level with comfy beds and very quiet. The bathroom was also excellent with a high power shower. Now onto the best part . . the staff! They couldn’t be more helpful or communicative. Yassin sorted an airport transfer for the group and it felt like we had a personal concierge for our trip. He embodied the spirit of the people of Istanbul- friendly, warm and football obsessed! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this property to a couple, group of friends or solo traveller. Just perfect !

Great location, friendly staff, comfortable room, clean room (everyday cleaned!) and comfortable bathroom! Definitely suggest this hotel to others. Furthermore it seems to me, that the area of karakoy, is the perfect location to stay. In a walking distance of 30 minutes, you can visit all the major sites of Istanbul. Next to hotel you can find many choices of breakfast, food and drink.
