Absolutely wonderful boutique hotel nestled right on the edge of Beyoglu. Everyone on staff present was respectful and polite. The property was well maintained and incredibly charming. One thing to keep in mind is they tend not to answer the phone, so if you book through Expedia the airport transfer may be difficult to schedule preemptively.

The hotel is very small and old. The first room that we settled wasn’t good at all. It was small, dark, humid, no air, no window and overpriced. The location was right on the street and taxi couldn’t park there because there wasn’t any parking spot. The walking path around the hotel was terrible. It had broken stones and unsafe. The staff was nice. The breakfast didn’t have much choice.

Excellent warm hospitality. The rooms are compact but modern and chic. My only complaint was the sound isolation between rooms and corridors. Breakfast is very good overlooking a seeworthy view across the golden horn. Hotel is located on a slightly steep road in case you walk there with luggage otherwise the metro is quite close.

My husband and I stayed for 15 days (September 2024) at this hotel and we liked it a lot. I selected a room with bay window for an additional fee and was very happy. T tis hotel is conveniently located within 10 minutes walk of the famous Istiklal Caddesi (Independence street) where lots of good shops are located. The area is safe even late at night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The manager Gokhan Ozcetinkaya greeted us on arrival as we got out of the car. I also met the owner of the hotel and had a nice chat with him. The building has been fully renovated a year and a half ago, and is earthquake proof and offers all amenities. The shower is amazing. The breakfast is served daily from 8:30 am to 11 am and I found it to be healthy and delicious. It is served on the 6th floor which has a very nice view of Halic. I recommend this hotel to any traveler to Istanbul who does not want to spend a lot of money but who wants quality and convenience, especially for first time travelers.

This hotel was an amazing find and would definitely stay again! It’s in a convenient area for shopping, tourist attractions, ferries/metro, and walking around to explore. It’s on a main road but the room was so quiet and had a great view of the water. The staff were so sweet and helpful, offered to call us taxis whenever they saw us heading out for the day, helped us find the nearest metro and gave suggestions of things to do. Also helped us send out our laundry as we’d been traveling for awhile and it was very affordable. Big breakfast spread in a rooftop cafe with beautiful views. The room was super clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Also the hotel is just beautiful design-wise; tons of cool art on the walls and tasteful decor.

A perfect hotel in every way!!! The staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very clean, tidy and everything is thought out. The terrace overlooks the sea and is always open. The breakfast is very delicious and fresh. The location is central, 5 minutes walking distance to Galata Tower and 8 minutes walking distance to Istiklal Street. It was the most comfortable, fun and safe hotel experience of my life. I would like to thank everyone who contributed. I definitely recommend it!

Wonderful hotel.
Absolutely loved staying at The Gift Hotel. Perfect location close to Istiklal Caddesi, Galata Tower and Shishane Metro Station. The rooms are extremely clean, very well decorated everything was brand new, beautiful bathroom, excellent shower pressure. We had a doble room which isn't very spacious but worked perfectly for us. My mother was recovering from surgery and the stuff were extremely helpful. They helped us booking a tour for us, getting food delivered etc There is not restaurante but the buffet breakfast was espectacular. The front desk receptionist was a huge help, assisting me with everything that I needed. One of best thing is the Hotel is Smoke free. Not a single bad smell I noticed on my stay. I'm definitely staying again in this perfect hotel.

Great experience! We had a great time and felt we had the best room in the hotel with our panoramic views from our balcony and everything! The staff from reception to breakfast team to everyone else were super hospitable and we would like to thank them. The rooms are really a lot better than the pictures and they have double insulated windows and when you close them you hear nothing from the street, plus you can have blackout shades if you like to use them. Definitely recommend!

We had a great stay at The Gift. The rooms are exactly as pictured on Expedia, the staff were super friendly, the breakfast offered was good. The area itself is very nice, close to the ferries that can take you to many varied districts in Istanbul. We were there for six days and had a wonderful time.

Hotel staff are generally all super nice and helpful. The hotel is really clean and new. While it is in a great location, we paid extra for a bigger room with views but wish we hadn’t. It’s so loud, all you can hear is Istanbuls traffic, there aren’t sound proof windows. We basically couldn’t sleep for four nights. Also the aircon wasn’t the greatest either. Staff said they are working on the sound issues so hopefully that is fixed asap because it really is loud. Lastly, don’t pay fixed price for taxis. Always ask for the meter to be put on. The hotel staff tried to charge me 850 lira for a cab ride to the airport when it actually costs 600 lira when the meter is on. I noticed the meter wasn’t on half way to the airport and the taxi driver said the hotel told him it’s a fixed price of 850 lira. This type of service is not good for a new hotel. It’s off putting. I refused to pay the 850 lira as I know it doesn’t cost that much.
