The location was really good — just one minute from the Karaköy seaside, ten minutes to Galataport, and also about ten minutes to Galata Tower.
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.

It was nice but small beds and room but location is the best

The location of hotel is very good, 5 minutes from galata port, and very close to metro station, friendly staff, rooms clean but small. I recommend it.

100% would recommend
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

The WiFi could be better. It was dropping on me and get slow at times. The room was very clean and comfortable.
13.09.2025 Javier
Hotel room was very clean and bed was VERY comfortable. Rooms are small but you visit Karakoy to walk around town, not to stay in your room. Great, friendly service and BY FAR, the best location in Karakoy, you can walk easily all over, including a brief walk across the bridge. The hotel is beautiful and a very good value.

Highly recommend 🙌🏼🙌🏼

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!

Everything is great, but there is a but. The water in the shower did not drain, we asked to look. It seems they tried, but the water did not drain during the rest of the stay.

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.

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.
