10/10 Exceptional

The staff was so friendly and so helpful with scheduling my airport shuttles, suggestions of where to visit in the city, and even offering me a delicious homemade lemonade after I returned from a hot Istanbul day of walking around. Service felt very personal, and rooms were exactly as advertised. Great connections to the metro and walkable to everywhere.

Alain, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed at the Union Hotel Karaköy on our second stay in Istanbul and are very happy we did! It allowed us to see a different side of the city being in close proximity to the Galata Tower, Taksim Square, and the Galata Bridge. Our room overlooked the Golden Horn offering spectacular views. The front desk staff were extremely helpful (especially Omar) and our room was very clean and safe.
