Value for money. Well placed close-by Galata and not far from the Sultan palace and all the ferry boats. The room was comfortable clean and well equiped. The hotel itself is small but nice and well maintained. Breakfast is ok, it maybe be better with little but is fair and the terrace where it is served is really nice

It is a very nice butique hotel just few minutes walking distance to/from GalataTower. Area full with coffee shops and small restaurants. The area was very save and vibrant all day. Hotel is really nice, clean, and well equipped. We liked it very much. We had a bigger room 26/27 m2 with a view. The room is spacious enough for 2 people. Breakfast at the hotel was quite fine and enough to start you day with. The staff is super friendly, welcoming and willing to help. Thank you so much Fatih. It was very nice meeting you!! We can recommend this hotel and will stay here again in the future!

Fantastisk opphold i koselige omgivelser

Vi hadde et veldig hyggelig opphold på dette lille og koselige hotellet! Det er et lite, men utrolig sjarmerende sted med en perfekt beliggenhet – stille og rolig, men samtidig med gangavstand til Galata-tårnet, Galata-broen og alt det spennende den europeiske delen av Istanbul har å by på. Personalet var utrolig hjelpsomme og imøtekommende hele veien. Man føler seg virkelig sett og tatt vare på her. Frokosten var utmerket – hjemmelaget og smakfull, servert i hyggelige omgivelser. Rommet var pent, rent og komfortabelt, med alt vi trengte. Dette er ikke et stort hotell, men det er nettopp det som gjør det så spesielt – det føles personlig og ekte. Vi reiser hjem med mange gode minner, og kommer gjerne tilbake!😍😍😍

Otel konum olarak çok merkezi ve hemen karşısında katlı otopark mevcut, park sorunu da yaşamıyorsunuz. Çalışanlar güleryüzlü ve yardımcı. Biz aydınlığa bakan, küçük bir odada kaldık fakat problem olmadı. İyi dekore edilmiş, son derece sessiz, yatağı rahat, banyosu geniş, sorunsuz, yeterli bir oda idi. Ben pek temizlik açısından rahat edemem otellerde fakat bu otel beni bu konuda çok iyi hissettirdi. Gördüğüm en temiz otellerden biriydi. Kahvaltısı da başarılıydı. Hem kahvaltıyı yaptığınız teras katın manzarası çok güzeldi hem de kahvaltısı sıcaklar , soğuklar ve içecekler olarak lezzetli ve yeterliydi. Biz son derece memnun kaldık. Teşekkür ederiz.

What an amazing experience! Boutique Hotel steps from Galata Tower, central to everything. I’ll try to be detailed but brief. And for reference when deciding if you would pick this place, I will give you a reference point. Mentally Im Ritz Carlton (lol), financially Hilton Garden Inn (ok, moving on) So overall, yes, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. (and yes- this was our first time to Istanbul) Gift Hotel Centrally located-Euro side Staff: Outstanding, friendly, helpful (small treats everyday at checkin) Breakfast daily 8-10am: Delish + sufficient. We felt full everyday. Fresh everything! Room: tidy, clean, plenty of room for us two Bed comfort: ok, a bed topper would help Pillows: clean, comfortable (I need a good pillow) Bathroom: not huge-but shower was a nice size, water pressure-amazing, got hot fast, clean and cute. No bad water smells and wasnt afraid to brush my teeth with it. Towels: Big, clean, a little worn, non issue. Wifi: good+pretty fast Wet bar with cokes, water bottles, coffee + quality teas. Quiet streets, AC cold at 23°c with the fan on max, then would raise to 24 for comfort. They handled our private airport transfers for 90euro (total) roundtrip Metro 5 min walk (but we always walked 10 min to Karakoy by the water to get to Asian side), Galata Tower few minute walk (5min). We really didnt need a GPS bc the tower is your landmark, once you orient yourself its super easy to get around. I definately reccommend the Gift Hotel!

Ich hatte einen tollen 8-tägigen Aufenthalt im The Gift. Das gesamte Personal war äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und stets darum bemüht, meinen Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Das gesamte Hotel ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, modern ausgestattet und schön sauber. Das Frühstück war super lecker. Die Auswahl war groß und abwechslungsreich und alles war frisch zubereitet. Auch das Personal im Restaurant war überaus zuvorkommend und hat jederzeit für eine angenehme Atmosphäre gesorgt. Die Lage des Hotels ist ebenfalls ideal. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der exzellente Service, der sich durchgehend durch meinen Aufenthalt gezogen hat. Das gesamte Team war jederzeit ansprechbar, herzlich und professionell. Ich habe mich wirklich willkommen gefühlt und kann das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch!
