Location: The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic! It's centrally located, making it convenient to explore the city. Moreover, it's incredibly close to the ferry and major tourist attractions Staff: The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Cleanliness: The cleanliness of the hotel exceeded my expectations; the rooms and common areas were impeccably maintained. Elevator: Having an elevator was a great convenience. Hospitality and Gifts: The hotel went above and beyond with thoughtful gestures, such as complimentary treats and even a room upgrade – a delightful surprise!

Elevator Size: The one drawback was that the elevator was a bit small, accommodating only two people comfortably. This became inconvenient, especially during peak times when a larger capacity would have been more practical. Noise: Another notable drawback was the insufficient sound insulation in the rooms. Improved insulation would greatly enhance the overall comfort of the stay.

the staff were amazing, very helpful very kind. I booked three rooms, 2 of the 3 rooms were upgraded for free. I got sick and they sent me ginger tea to my room without me asking for it. look for Ismael he’s a dear, we were sad we couldn’t say goodbye before leaving. the room view was breathtaking, and even with my messiness they were able to clean the room perfectly and organize my stuff. location is also great, metro station, super market, pharmacy, currency exchange, river and galata tower, all is 2-5 minutes walking distance. galata port and Eminonu grand bazar are 20 minutes walking distance taksim square is 8 minutes away. bars and restaurants are less than 10 minutes walking distance. over all, location is close to everything.

I think they should start including breakfast in the hotel

I believe hotel should start thinking about creating breakfast included packages it would help allot.

- Amazing location: 5’ walking distance to Galata tower, Galata bridge and the district with bars and coffees. At Galata bridge you may take tram T1 which transport you in few minutes to main sights(Aya Sofia, topkapi, Sultanahmet camii, basilica Kinsterna, grand bazaar). Also, at Galata bridge (Eminonu) you may take the ferries to Asian side, besiktas, ortakoy etc. 15’ walking distance to Egyptian bazaar and Yeni camii. At the other side of Galata tower you may take tram T5 to Balat, fener and Patriarchate. - Magnificent view to Bosphorus, Yeni Camii, topkapi,Aya Sofia. From the room you can also enjoy golden hour. - All guys at reception are very supportive, provide detailed information and explain you everything you need. - Transport to airport (with charge) with comfortable car -At plus, every morning they offer filter coffee and simit (Turkish sesame bread rings) free of charge

Centrally located and within walking distance of attractions and the connecting metro from the airport. The staff were all fantastic, very attentive and nothing was too much hassle - excellent English which was a massive bonus for us. The service received for the price was exceptional, a very modern and clean hotel We needed an ice pack at 11:30pm and it was brought to our room door within 5 minutes after phoning the 24hour reception Wi-Fi connected TVs in the room which is better than the Sheraton Grand in Edinburgh If we were to return to Istanbul we would absolutely book again

The room was tidy and cleaned everyday, the view was amazing on the Golden Horn and some famous mosques. Staff were excellent and pleasant to deal with, they offered us tea and coffee (and it was for free). The location of the hotel is wonderful because you can get to the famous sights easily on foot or by public transport (tram, bus, subway, even ferries).

Some minor issues: 1. Wi-fi just turned off time to time (or lost connection). 2. the nearest mosque starts "signing" for praying at 4 am. It isn't a big deal but can bother you if you are sensitive in your sleep. 3. During our staying, there was odor (like from a sewer) time to time. 4. the TV is placed strangely, it is shifted from the bed and the bracket can't be rotated.

Everything was perfect since the beginning. All the staff from the Union Hotel was very friendly to us during our whole stay. They treated us really well, they made us feel as home and they even gave us a welcome coffee and a capuccino just upon our arrival :) They were always ready to give us information about the city and recommendations of restaurants. The first night we arrived kind of late and we were a little bit hungry, they helped us to order food online and brought it to the room. Thanks! This was really helpful because everything was in Turkish. They also helped us to make a reservation for a Hamam, they managed everything for us, we were picked up and brought back to the hotel. They made everything feel really easy. We had really zero mental pressure thanks to them. Plus, the room was super clean, the bed was really confortable, the views were amazing! Waking up everyday with the view of the river and the mosques was a huge win. The hotel is also really well placed next to the tram, the metro, the ferry and historical center.

Everything was perfect.

Clean, friendly staff, helpful. The noise isolation problem was not an issue for me, as the reviews say, the windows are good and sound proof, and I am a regular in Istanbul, I can compare to previous experiences.

you can’t see any view from the lower floors and the neighborhood is not the prettiest to be a tourist in, it is full of small shops and a market for construction, so when walking you have to pass by a lot of objects exposed on the street floor like toilets, cables and others but it is within walking distance to the main atractions, so you can ignore this detail.

I had a fantastic and comfortable 6 night stay at this hotel. The staff were kind and courteous from start to finish and would always ask if we needed anything whenever we seen them, they even provided umbrellas for us on a rainy day! My partner and I stayed on the 8th floor and the views across the city were incredible. I'd highly suggest a high floor room for the view alone! The jacuzzi in the room was very relaxing (especially after a long day exploring) although plan to allow around 90 mins for it to fill up with hot water. My partner worked from the room online several times and the WiFi connection was strong enough to support it with no problems. There's no dining options in the hotel although it's surrounded by a plethora of cafe's and restaurants so eating was no problem. The hotel is situated on a main road but the sound of traffic outside wasn't loud enough to be bothersome and we both had 6 very good nights sleep. It's also a stones throw from the cities public transport network. The area the hotel is in felt very safe and we would often return late at night with no problems. Other amenities include airport transfers (around 30-40 minutes from Istanbul International), bedside plug sockets, complimentary daily tea, coffee and a bottle of water, a safe, central heating. I'd once again like to thank the lovely staff for such a wonderful stay, the hotel had only been open for a month at the time of staying and I'm glad I gave it a chance. Should I ever return to Istanbul I have no doubts that I would happily return to this hotel and I would encourage you to do the same!

We loved our stay here and will definitely come back when we are again in Istabul! The view from the room was stunning (just like in the photos) and thanks to the staff it made our trip unforgettable! Location is great, close to the historical part of the city and to the metro station. We were offered a welcome drink, which was a very nice gesture. The Wi-Fi connection was one of the best we've had in a hotel! Room was cleaned every day - new sheets and towels, new bottle of water and coffee. They even gave us a small gift when checking out which was a lovely final touch to our whole experience. Highly recommend it!

Everything was great! Maybe the only thing was the loud noise from the traffic on the street, but this is not the hotel's fault and it helps you feel Istanbul even better :)
