What Guests Say
Great location, comfy hotel, good and flexible heating, in general really nice staff. Massages were quite cheap (on a 50% discount). Nice to have a TV with Netflix & Youtube to watch a movie. Overall a great hotel to relax but in a really nice and well-connected area.

I loved everything at the property. I admire the professionalism of the management team. The take care of every single detail at the property. Beside the great work of the management, I loved the breakfast area and the team there is doing a great job, a big clap to the chefs. Furthermore, the house keeping staff were very good and sincere at their job, I can’t remember a single thing they forgot while cleaning our room for the whole 8 nights, even the coffee machine capsules were never skipped or forgotten (like other 4 star and sometimes even 5 start hotels). Yes, it is that specific! A clap to all the receptionists and the gate watchers. They were of great assistance at all times. I’ll say it again, such hotel success happens when there is a professional and hardworking management team behind all these sectors mentioned above. So a big clap to them.

When we first got there, we were not sure about the location of the place. However, once we explored, we quickly discovered that it was perfectly located to everything. The tram station is right outside like a 2-minute walk away. It has an entire block of restaurants and bars literally across the street. We found it so convenient for us, really. It's definitely a must book. It's close enough to everything one would want to be around. Next time we are in Istanbul we will definitely book this place. The room had great aircon which was needed as outside was really hot. Room has everything we needed. We didnt spent much time in the room anyways as we were always out and about. They also have a lovely rooftop restaurant with great views of the city.

The location is excellent, you can walk anywhere in 30 minutes. We booked a balcony room and loved the large glass door. The bed was super comfy and the shower was strong. The staff were always friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here.

The hotel is amazing! Very clean, the staff are amazing and it’s very good value for money - especially with the budget room. Meryem at reception is very welcoming and approachable, even messaged us on WhatsApp during our stay to check we were okay, or if we had any issues. The hotel is spotlessly clean. There is a gym, sauna and steam room all guests can use. Breakfast was good, amazing view.

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel. We had a balcony room with sea view on the seventh floor. There is only a partial sea view but it was still nice. The room had floor to ceiling sliding doors with access to the (small) balcony. The room was much nicer than we had expected, it was lovely to just sit there and look out through the large windows drinking a complementary cup of Nespresso. The room was spacious as was the bathroom with a good shower (although the green tiles in the bathroom seem a bit outdated). We did not include breakfast in our booking but we did try the breakfast on our last day. It was reasonable but I much more enjoyed trying one of the many breakfast places that were in the Karakoy neighborhood. However, the view from the breakfast area (9th floor) is great (sea view on one side and Galata tower on the other side). Karakoy is a very nice and lively area and you're very close to Galata Port as well. We enjoyed staying at this hotel!

My recent stay at the Root Karaköy Hotel in Istanbul was truly fantastic. What genuinely sets this place apart is its incredible staff, a special thank you goes to Maryam from guest relations. Maryam is an absolute star! Her fluency in multiple languages made communication incredibly easy and pleasant. She's remarkably professional, yet genuinely warm and approachable, always greeting you with a radiant smile that makes you feel instantly welcome and valued. She was particularly adept at putting first-time travelers at ease with her clear guidance. Thanks to Maryam and the entire dedicated team, my visit was truly unforgettable. I highly recommend the Root Karaköy Hotel for anyone seeking top-notch service and a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere in Istanbul.
