This is probably the best hotel I have stayed at! The rooms are very well appointed with everything you need and more. The hostess/owner was a dream and she could not do enough for you. I will be talking about Karakoy Rooms for a long time! Thank you, you made my Istanbul Holiday!

Karakoy rooms is a self contained flats hotel. We stayed for a weekend. It's 5 min walk from Galata bridge, 15 min walk from Istanbul Modern museum. The rooms are beautiful, stylish and very very comfortable. The hotel has no amenities apart from the breakfast (which is brilliant!). Theres an excellent restaurant on the street level (you need to reserve).... More

We stayed two nights at Karakoy rooms. Although we wanted to stay for three, overbooking by the hotel meant that we had to stay the first night at another hotel nearby. Karakoy rooms made up for this with an upgrade to a very large studio room with partial views of the Bosphorous and complimentary full Turkish breakfast. The reception staff... More

I travel a great deal for work and play, and the Karaköy Rooms will go down s one of my top three favorite hotels in the world. Reasonably priced, centrally located in a fantastic up-and-coming neighborhood... and the rooms! They are huge and so, so stylishly done. I was there on a scouting trip to put together an Istanbul trip... More

This was one best hotel we've stayed so far..The design of the room was very stylish and very clean. All the small details they have make us that we are at our home..Staff was extremely helpful and kind and we've already booked the room for our next stay in March. Highly recommended !!

I spent 3 nights at this petit-hotel Karakoy Rooms last weekend. This was my 3rd visit for Istanbul and this accommodation was the best ever, absolutely outstanding. Location is perfect, minutes away from Karakoy tram station, and the best part is; no mosques with loud speakers close by where this hotel rooms nice and quiet. Very charming owner and helpful...

To really enjoy Karakoy rooms, you really have to spend some time at the hotel. The rooms are BIG, whether normal or suite (we stayed at a suite). The decor is unique, being a fusion of Turkish / Art Deco. It is obvious that the lady owner paid a lot of attention to detail in terms of the overall presentation... More

Absolutely amazing. We couldn't have been happier with our stay. Gorgeous rooms, beautiful views and a great location where we were able to walk to everything in both new and old towns. The staff also was very nice and helpful. Definitely would recommend. Keep in mind that there are no real common areas and that service is limited, but they... More

We spent four nights at Karakoy Rooms last week. The room was very spacious, comfortable, stylish and it smelled very nice too (I love the essential oil they use). The hotel was located slightly off the main street so it's very nice and quite but you can easily walk to Galata Tower, Istiklal Caddesi, Istanbul Modern,etc and have easy access... More
