The room was perfect, with a huge walk in shower, and a closet big enough to store my belongings. The bed was extremely comfy and it was just such a great cozy room. It is walking distance from a lot of local attractions and nearby resturants. One night, I asked the front desk for recommendations on a restaurant, and I was so happy by his suggestion. Check out was also a breeze and the doorman helped me load by bags into my Uber!

The hotel itself has two main things that really stand out: a very central location, right on the…read morebank of the Bosphorus near Galata Bridge and a rooftop bar/restaurant that offers an insane view of this city's main sights. Given the central location, the hotel is quite small and you can feel that it's stretching itself to the limit, comfort-wise. If you can get a room on the 5th or 6th floors, you will get amazing views of the city. The downside is the foot traffic to the rooftop bar, as well as live music on Saturdays that you can hear in your room until midnight. With this in mind, it might be best to get a room on the 5th floor rather than the 6th, to put some distance between you and the sounds of the 80s.

One of them is umbrella covered. Its pretty bohemian. Also, you don't get the usual guy hassling you to eat at their restaurant. Turkey is a secular country but I feel it's getting more conservative in a religious way. The Art work on the lobby at the Sub Karaköy announces its secularism. The continental breakfast here is quite impressive but it's not fully ready until 8Am I almost took a star off for that. They have a roof top bar and the rooms are neat especially the sound system. Highly recommend.

This was our first visit to Istanbul and we found this hotel on one of our favorite travel sites…read more It has only been open for a year or two, so we were unsure if we made the right choice before arriving, but within minutes we knew we had. The hotel is small, the lobby is the size of a small hip coffee shop, and is decorated as such. But that just adds to the charm. We love boutique hotels and have stayed in many throughout the world. This somewhat reminded us of a mini version of the Standard in NY. The Sub is now on our favorite list. The rooms were small as expected, but decorated cool and comfortable with all the amenities you'd expect. The thing that we enjoyed the most of our four night stay was the customer service. My wife and I traveled with our 3 year old, and from arrival the staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home. (Although we were the only guests we noted with a child, I'd still categorize the hotel as kid friendly because of the accommodating staff. They even offered us a baby crib in the room, which we didn't need or accept). Upon arrival the manager saw us pull up in a cab and ran across the street to help us with our bags. He proceeded to offer us tea when we walked into the lobby and sat down with us for about 20 minutes. He gave us a map, highlighting where we should visit and eating recommendations. That type of service was standard throughout our entire stay. The location was also a nice surprise. The Sub hotel isn't located in the middle of the touristy spots, but in a small neighborhood in the middle of many must-visit destinations. The "tram" was only a two minute walk and that got us everywhere we needed to be. Overall our stay was great and I'd recommend this hotel to anyone.

It's in a hip and more local neighborhood than the ultra-touristy Sultanahmet District across the Bosphorus. It is located directly above one of the best restaurants in the area and a few doors down from a famous baklava shop. We arrived early in the morning and were met by the very helpful employee. Although the room was not yet ready, he held our luggage and we did end up checking in several hours before the official check-in time. The building is historic and has tons of character. It also has the convenience of an elevator, which I am thankful for. I splurged a bit (still very reasonably priced) for a 55 square meter studio that even had a kitchen area. The room was huge and we loved the decor and the comfortable furniture. It was perfect! Since we were staying at Karakoy Rooms, the front desk was able to help us get a dinner reservation at the popular restaurant downstairs, which was equally amazing. We only spent one night at Karakoy Rooms but it was one great stay.

Oh, and I shouldn't forget the perfect location: You are right in the heart of beautiful Beyoğlu where everything is happening.

He took the time to explain how the train system worked and how to obtain a card for payment. He also provided detailed directions and made other transportation suggestions. We really appreciated his help. Regarding the room, it was big enough for us, well-decorated, clean, and functional. We also had a decent view of one of the prayer towers.

They sent free food to my room, had their concierge fill my prescriptions for the pain meds, they walked my friend and I to a restaurant and had patience while I was struggled the crutches!!!!
