Really nice boutique hotel, rooms really bright with high ceilings, nice breakfast, great location near the Galata Tower.

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 was very easy for us to get to all the different areas of Istanbul (although it’s massive, this felt like a good central spot to stay). It’s on a main road with easy access to other areas, and the room was so quiet and had a great view of the water. The staff were super 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 and fast. 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. Would highly recommend!

The Gift was perfect for our 4 night stay to explore the city. It’s close to a metro station and it’s a nice walk to the old city over the nearby bridges. While it’s located on a very busy street, the windows were very soundproof and it was a really relaxing place to come back to after a long day of exploring. Şahin, Sami, and the other staff members were very helpful and even helped coordinate laundry service one day. Can’t recommend this hotel enough, great value.

I felt at home because of the comfort, service, cleanliness and hospitality. The manager and the hotel staff are all helpful and friendly without exception and helpful with all the information and directions you need. I highly recommend it. The location is excellent and safe. I spent the best days of my life in this hotel. Many thanks.

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.

It was overall a good stay. No big complains. The hotel's staff was indeed friendly and helpful. Loved the location and easy access to Metro and buses, plus close to historic Galata tower and Taksim area. The room we stayed was "standard room" and I think it's not spacious enough for two people and even can say it was small, however could be enough for single person reservations. The breakfast wasn't as special as people said in other comments or rated on the websites, but certainly was high quality but could improve with more variety and inclusion of fresh breads and sweets. The staff in charge of breakfast salon could be more professional but no big concern there. Overall, it certainly worths to stay and recommend it.

The hotel location is good, very close to the metro station, 10 min walking to galata tower. walking area around is not very difficult. the rooms are too small, and the AC was not really cold even it was at 18 all day. the breakfast is included but has no variety.

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.

Her şeyiyle mükemmel bir otel!!! Çalışanlar çok yardımcı ve güler yüzlü. Odalar çok temiz, düzenli ve her şeyi düşünülmüş. Teras manzarası denize bakıyor ve devamlı açık. Kahvaltı çok lezzetli ve taze. Konumu cok merkezi, Galata kulesine 5 dakika, İstiklal Caddesine 8 dakika yürüme mesafesi. Hayatımın en konforlu, eğlenceli ve güvenli otel tecrübesi oldu. Emeği geçen herkese teşekkür ediyorum. Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim!

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.

I stayed there for a night and had a lovely time except for some minor issues, I booked a standard double bed, the room is so tiny there’s barely enough space to walk around freely and there aren’t enough cabinets to unpack a 20kg suitcase but they do provide a luggage rack, the rug has few spots on it and the window faces a closed wall equipped with some light that imitates sunlight but other than that everything was amazing specially the staff they were extremely friendly welcoming helpful and the checking in and out took only few minutes, the hotel has the perfect location as it’s located near many amazing shops and delicious restaurants and cafes.

Our search for the perfect hotel during our short stay in Istanbul led us to The Gift Hotel. Although it didn’t have a vast number of reviews, the consistently positive feedback caught our attention and raised our expectations. We carefully examined the photos multiple times, particularly noting the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms, which appeared spotless. We even zoomed in to ensure everything was as pristine as it seemed. After contacting the hotel, I made our reservation. Unfortunately, our trip was delayed due to unforeseen circumstances, but the hotel staff was incredibly understanding. As soon as we had our new dates, they promptly adjusted our reservation. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by Gokhan, who welcomed us with juice, water, and cookies. The rooms were exactly as clean as we had hoped, complete with a stunning sea view. Both our room and the one our daughters stayed in had bathrooms that were truly sparkling clean. The Gift Hotel excels in focusing on what truly matters, maximizing the use of a smaller space while ensuring every need is met. The bed, with its leather frame, was exceptionally comfortable, with high-quality linens, mattress, and pillows. The room also included hot drinks and a coffee machine, which added to our comfort. Breakfast is served on the sixth floor in a cozy terrace with a sea view—a perfect start to each day. Fatih was always friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. The hotel's location is ideal for several reasons. The sea-view rooms are unobstructed, allowing for a beautiful view. Just around the corner, Galata Kulesi is a mere 5-minute walk away, and Taksim is only 6 to 7 minutes on foot. The Sishane metro and bus stations are also conveniently nearby. I must say, The Gift Hotel played a significant role in making our stay in Istanbul such a positive and memorable experience. I want to extend my gratitude to Gokhan, Fatih, and the entire team for their warm hospitality and professionalism. I believe The Gift Hotel has a bright future ahead, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see it expand globally. Wishing you all the success!

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!

The hotel boasts a fantastic location, is impeccably clean, and has excellent staff. However, the rooms are too small, and some have no actual windows. In my opinion, it’s not worth the price.

Bu güzel otelde kaldığım beklentilerin ötesindeydi. Lüks bir oteldi ve odada tüm ihtiyaçlar ve en iyi duş vardı. Hizmet mükemmeldi ve ne zaman bir şey sipariş etmek için aradığımda bana hızlı bir şekilde hizmet ettiler. Odaların temizliği mükemmel, oda mobilyaları lüks ve manzara muhteşem. Mürettebat son derece iyi ve saygılıydı. Bu otel benim için gerçekten bir hediye olduğu için ismine yakışıyor. Her zaman İstanbul'daki bu otele döneceğim.

I had the pleasure of staying here recently. Lovely place close to everything. Shahin (The Falcon) went out of his way to help me and my family and that alone is a great reason to revisit for me. I wish them all the best....

Absolutely loved staying at The Gift Hotel. Perfect location close to Istiklal Caddessi, 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.
