Right away, we were treated with respect and kindness, and given a glass of water after the long and hot journey from the airport. We stayed in a beautiful room with a lovely view of the water. The breakfast was delicious. We would gladly return.

The room was spacious and nice however it was first floor and it was next to the road. Therefore you could hear all the noise from outside. But the room itself was nice and spacious.

Value for money. Well placed close-by Galata and not far from the Sultan palace and all the ferry boats. The room was comfortable clean and well equiped. The hotel itself is small but nice and well maintained. Breakfast is ok, it maybe be better with little but is fair and the terrace where it is served is really nice

What an amazing experience! Boutique Hotel steps from Galata Tower, central to everything. I’ll try to be detailed but brief. And for reference when deciding if you would pick this place, I will give you a reference point. Mentally Im Ritz Carlton (lol), financially Hilton Garden Inn (ok, moving on) So overall, yes, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. (and yes- this was our first time to Istanbul) Gift Hotel Centrally located-Euro side Staff: Outstanding, friendly, helpful (small treats everyday at checkin) Breakfast daily 8-10am: Delish + sufficient. We felt full everyday. Fresh everything! Room: tidy, clean, plenty of room for us two Bed comfort: ok, a bed topper would help Pillows: clean, comfortable (I need a good pillow) Bathroom: not huge-but shower was a nice size, water pressure-amazing, got hot fast, clean and cute. No bad water smells and wasnt afraid to brush my teeth with it. Towels: Big, clean, a little worn, non issue. Wifi: good+pretty fast Wet bar with cokes, water bottles, coffee + quality teas. Quiet streets, AC cold at 23°c with the fan on max, then would raise to 24 for comfort. They handled our private airport transfers for 90euro (total) roundtrip Metro 5 min walk (but we always walked 10 min to Karakoy by the water to get to Asian side), Galata Tower few minute walk (5min). We really didnt need a GPS bc the tower is your landmark, once you orient yourself its super easy to get around. I definately reccommend the Gift Hotel!

Absolutely wonderful boutique hotel nestled right on the edge of Beyoglu. Everyone on staff present was respectful and polite. The property was well maintained and incredibly charming. One thing to keep in mind is they tend not to answer the phone, so if you book through Expedia the airport transfer may be difficult to schedule preemptively.

The hotel is very small and old. The first room that we settled wasn’t good at all. It was small, dark, humid, no air, no window and overpriced. The location was right on the street and taxi couldn’t park there because there wasn’t any parking spot. The walking path around the hotel was terrible. It had broken stones and unsafe. The staff was nice. The breakfast didn’t have much choice.

Excellent warm hospitality. The rooms are compact but modern and chic. My only complaint was the sound isolation between rooms and corridors. Breakfast is very good overlooking a seeworthy view across the golden horn. Hotel is located on a slightly steep road in case you walk there with luggage otherwise the metro is quite close.

My husband and I stayed for 15 days (September 2024) at this hotel and we liked it a lot. I selected a room with bay window for an additional fee and was very happy. T tis hotel is conveniently located within 10 minutes walk of the famous Istiklal Caddesi (Independence street) where lots of good shops are located. The area is safe even late at night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The manager Gokhan Ozcetinkaya greeted us on arrival as we got out of the car. I also met the owner of the hotel and had a nice chat with him. The building has been fully renovated a year and a half ago, and is earthquake proof and offers all amenities. The shower is amazing. The breakfast is served daily from 8:30 am to 11 am and I found it to be healthy and delicious. It is served on the 6th floor which has a very nice view of Halic. I recommend this hotel to any traveler to Istanbul who does not want to spend a lot of money but who wants quality and convenience, especially for first time travelers.
