The location is amazing. 5mins to the ferries and 15 minutes to the Galata Tower and 25 Minute Walk to be at the Bazaar over the Galata Bridge with an amazing view. Stayed here for the second time, the street is lively, full of restaurants and bars and very safe. Hotel staff was very nice and a good room with a good bathroom :) Breakfast is rather small but always fresh and there are options all around. :)

Loved this hotel and would stay again if back in Istanbul. Rooms are lovely and location is spot on for bars and restaurants (though most sightseeing is across the river). Only thing about being in great location is can be bit noisy at night but don’t let that put you off staying and take earplugs! All in all fabulous hotel.

We stayed at this hotel from December 30 to January 1, and thankfully, not any longer because it was extremely loud due to a nearby club or bar—I had trouble sleeping. The front desk mentioned it was because of New Year, but I have my doubts. Overall, the staff is friendly, the beds are comfortable, and the hotel is clean.

Great hotel in a lively area conveniently near two tram stops (Tophane and Karakoy) as well as Katakoy ferry port. There is no shortage of restaurants of all variety, charming cafes and shops. The hotel staff are pleasant and helpful. Our junior suite was modern, spacious and the bed was very comfortable. One thing to note: hotel is on a pedestrian only street but they allow taxis up until 10 AM / noon. Afterwards, you can get off at the nearby gas station and walk for 90 seconds to the hotel.

Our stay at the Nabu Hotel was exceptional. We enjoyed every single moment of our stay. The staff was very friendly and willing to help with any questions. The room was very comfortable. They are very large and you have plenty of space to make yourself comfortable. The bed was especially comfortable, I felt like I was on clouds. The location was also very convenient. You can walk to very good places and the ferry and tram is less than a 5 minute walk away. There are some very chill restaurants and bars around the hotel. After a culturally packed day in the city, we went "home" (the Nabu felt like home), rested a bit and went just around the corner for another drink to end the day right. I will definitely come back to the Nabu when I book my trip to Istanbul. Thank you so much for the perfect stay!
