The hotel is very close to almost everything you need
2-night trip

8/10

Great location with easy access to the tram, ferries and plenty of local bars and restaurants. The surrounding streets are quite quiet at night. Breakfast and gym/spa are located at another hotel a few doors up the street. Room was compact and had a musty smell, but overall was fine. I appreciated the cool bluetooth speaker.

Great boutique hotel in a convenient and safe location near cafes, restaurants, and transportation. The lobby is great to work from and the rooms are comfortable and modern. The staff was also very welcoming and helpful. Shoutout to Arda for going above and beyond when I needed help!

Quite a bohemian funky hotel which we loved, in the heart of Karakoy, handy for transport links and in walking distance of many of the major sites. Breakfast was in their sister hotel down the street but choice was rather limited. No fruit or fresh salad and nothing if you were vegan. The sister hotel had a spa but the prices were outrageously high. Overall a good hotel to stay in with friendly reception staff who went above and beyond to help.

The breakfast had moved to their sister property and since then it’s downhill. The worst breakfast ever.

Great location near some lovely eating places and close to the Galata bridge and lots of transport links. Staff not very helpful or friendly but we didn’t need them much. Breakfast was tasty but no options just the same thing each morning. Fine for a few days but by day 5 I was a bit bored! Breakfast staff at the sister “root” hotel were terrible smoking at the entrance to breakfast room, not providing clean cups etc. Rooms were comfortable, clean and quiet. Overall a good stay but a few down sides. Great location and clean rooms. Poor staff and breakfast though tasty can get a bit repetitive

The property is ok nothing special ,very unprofessional receptionist, we’ve been given a room that was occupied with belongings inside , my safe ,tv and my lights did not work in the room also walking into the next building for breakfast is strange, definitely not a great experience,. Would definitely replace the reception to more professional and friendly faces

When the hotel first opened it must have been just great. Personal, cool design details, great food and bar. But now it seems to be on life support. The rooftop bar and restaurant is now closed. (Covid casualty?) and thinks in the room broken. The owners have a cool new place three doors away ‘Root’ which they seem to be focussing on. Maybe stay there? The location is great but the hotel no longer merits the ‘cool boutique design hotel’ title.

Loved it. All the cool art and details were so cool and the room was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, better than we anticipated. Staff were helpful and kind. The location is perfect, literally the center of everything but quiet at night so sleeping is easy. Didn't hear a thing from other rooms. The price is excellent for such a high quality hotel. My only small issue was the bidet wasn't working very well, the handle came off and the water was weak. You also need to be careful of the curve in the bed headboard so you don't hit your head on the slightly sharp edge. Did nothing to take away from our wonderful stay. Thank you so much!

Extremely Pleasurable Experience!! I travel a lot for work and stay in a lot of different hotels, but the experience I've had at this hotel has been by far the best experience out of all the hotels I've stayed in over the years. As soon as I checked in I was welcomed with a warm greeting from the staff and all my bags were handled for me, the breakfast buffet and the staff that cater for it we're both amazing and I enjoyed a lot of new Turkish dishes that I had never got to experience before. My experience was so pleasurable that I decided to extend my stay for another week and when it came to checking out I felt I had built a very warm and personable rapport with all the stuff at the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel for anybody that's looking for something with unique touches and a dedicated service team!!!! I will let no doubtedly be coming back to stay here on my next work trip to Istanbul

6/10

We had booked this hotel for a 2 night stay. On arrival the counter staff were very friendly and helpful, however the hotel lobby and dining room has most definitely seen better days. It looked unclean and rough (maybe that’s just the industrial look). Anyhow, we decided to not stay at the hotel based on what we had seen. We walked down the road and booked another hotel and came back to remove our luggage. To be fair we did not get an opportunity to see the rooms, however based on what we had seen of the reception area and dining room - I think we made the right choice not to stay at The Sub - Karakoy as it looked very dated and run down.

Honestly , it was disappointing! The cleaning staff did a great job but other than that reception and other staff members weren’t helpful at all. There’s no hamam, Sauna, spa or whatsoever you can use for free. It’s not even in the same building. We had to go to a hotel next door. Breakfast is also not in the same building. The manager of the hotel wasn’t helping at all when we expressed our disappointment. It never deserves 4 stars! Never again

Rigtig fin hotel til prisen. Super beliggenhed. Venlig og hjælpsom personale. Eneste ulempe er larm fra gaden, som kunne høres tydeligt i værelset.
