Reviews
But it was a bit far from the metro station.
The bed in the room was not good at all; it was extremely soft and uncomfortable. The air conditioner didn’t work properly, and we had to call the reception about ten times — it would suddenly get very cold.
There was no breakfast at all.
The hallway and lobby were very messy and worn-out. The water in the bathroom and toilet wouldn’t drain properly and took a long time to go down.
But the room and the bed linens were clean.
Hotel is in the perfect location, close to everything worth seeing + the ferry! Plus no walki uphill to reach it. Many breakfast spot and restaurants around, area feels very safe even late at night and if you’re a solo female traveller, the reception is 24/7
WiFi was working perfectly, they cleaned the room and provided fresh towels everyday
I loved it!
Only downside our room was pretty small but it’s okay
Ada Boutique hotel is sat on the cutest little walking street in Karakoy!
They had 24/7 concierge so we felt super safe the whole time, Onur the concierge always gave us a warm welcome as we came and went
The hotel was clean, aircon worked, room was spacious enough and the price was pretty good especially for being in such a prime location!!
Especially loved the community feeling between the staff at the hotel & the surrounding shops.
We found it hard to go past the adorable Ada Han coffee shop right outside ~ coincidentally served the best Turkish coffee we tasted the whole time we were here
We didn’t even visit the rooftop bar cause there was so much to do and see in the local area 🤣
Can safely say we would come here again, and can recommend to friends and family visiting the area!
Wi-Fi failed for 3 days, did not connect, only once was successful.
There are no questions about the bed linen: they changed everything, everything was clean.
They did not refill the shower gel, on the 3rd day it was already empty.
A solid three or four with a minus.
The location is perfect, no argument there.
And on top of everything, the top floor terrace is not functioning, the hotel is undergoing some kind of renovation at the beginning of July.
