The hotel offers a fantastic stay with an amazing location just steps away from the Bosphorus and various dining options.

I had an amazing time staying at Ada Karakoy in Istanbul! The location is fantastic, offering easy access to both the historic Sultanahmet area and Taksim Square. The breakfast on the rooftop terrace was memorable with stunning views of the Golden Horn. However, I did encounter some issues with the room size during my stay, which was less than ideal. Overall, it's a great boutique hotel with lots to offer.

I had a wonderful time at this hotel! The cleanliness and modern aesthetic really impressed me, and the location was spot on, making sightseeing super easy. However, I think the hotel could improve on providing more information about amenities, since I only discovered the rooftop cafe too late in my stay. Also, communication regarding taxi services needs some work as I faced unexpected charges upon arrival.
