Great location, spacious rooms, delicious breakfast, and friendly staff.

Wonderful stay at Hotel Nabu, Istanbul

My experience at Hotel Nabu was excellent and exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff showed great professionalism and friendliness, always ready to help with information and recommendations about the city. The room was impeccably clean, comfortable, and well equipped, providing peaceful nights after exploring Istanbul.

Breakfast was varied and delicious, with both local and international options that made every morning special. The location is another strong point: very convenient for visiting the main tourist attractions, with easy access to public transportation and authentic restaurants in the area.

What impressed me the most was the genuine hospitality — I truly felt welcome and cared for throughout my stay. I highly recommend Hotel Nabu to anyone who wants to enjoy Istanbul with comfort, quality, and warm service.

Attentive and enthusiastic service. The place isn't very big, but it's comfortable and clean. Located in a central, bustling area.

Lovely hotel in Karakoy, service was amazing, buffet breakfast was very taste and the staff were very attentive!
19.09.2025 Benneo
Hotel has nice interior, friendly staff, and it’s located at the heart of a busy street, very vibrant atmosphere especially at night. It’s near galata tower too. Only downside would be staying at lower floor, you will hear loud musics till late night
18.09.2025 Guest
Thank you, excellent hotel, close to all tourist attractions
25.08.2025 Guest
Great hotel for the money! Clean, good location!
10.08.2025 Guest
The hotel is generally nice and new, but the soundproofing is a bit lacking. Downstairs is a street full of bars and snacks! It's very convenient, but some noise can be a bit disturbing at night. Not recommended for those with sound sensitivity! Highly recommended for those looking for convenient dining, entertainment, and fun! It's just a one-minute walk away!
The breakfast was basic, but the service was quite good! A top-notch recommendation!

The location is excellent. Breakfasts were varied and never got boring. There’s an elevator and a warm air conditioner, which was great since we stayed in March and it was quite chilly outside. The veranda is shared between three rooms but separated by flower pots — just keep in mind that sleeping with an open window might not be safe. Otherwise, the room had everything we needed, and we really enjoyed our stay.
You can hear a bit of street noise if the windows are open, but we were out all day, and by night, the music from outside didn’t bother us at all.
(The only small downside was a slightly squeaky door on the shower cabin.)

The hotel is located at the very peak of events - Galatoport, Galata Tower, Galata Bridge, ferries, tram are nearby. It is very convenient to get to all directions.
Also next to the hotel there is a very active street with a huge number of restaurants. On Friday and Saturday nights it will be a little noisy because of the music, but some people even enjoy it
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
Think about what you would like to know if you were looking for a review about a place to relax. Please describe in detail what you liked and what you didn't. What would you advise to other guests and to the hotel owner. The more fully you tell about the hotel, the easier it will be for other people to make a choice and they will be very grateful to you!

Lovely cafe. Sweet old lady who spoke little English but was very helpful and served us a delicious breakfast.
03.12.2025 Habiba
I went for the cafe, never knew there was a hotel or smth. Anyway, the breakfast was delicious and not overpriced, the Bazlama was juicy and not too heavy for a breakfast. The Meneman and the fries were just so right but i ordered a Flat White but they got me a Cappuccino! They were so lovely though and i enjoyed it💖💖
07.09.2025 Isabel
My husband and I are currently visiting Istanbul and stumbled across this lovely cafe within a 2 minute walk of our hotel. We both got the cheese omelet and it was so delicious!! Very reasonably priced at around 800 Turkish lira for the both of us. Everything even down to the honey and the butter were so fresh and tasted great. Definitely recommend for a quick bite in the morning
26.06.2025 Jill
We’ve been in Istanbul for five days. This was the best breakfast—authentic Turkish breakfast recommended by a local. It’s on a super cute street under a canopy of umbrellas. We highly recommend!
14.05.2025 Marc-Andre
Very loud on weekends, hard to sleep because of the music from bars around. Room is nice but they barely clean the rooms when you request it. Location is convenient if you don’t worry about the noise on weekends.
