10 Karakoy

This hotel is fantastic. The staff are great. Very friendly and helped with a lot. The food and breakfast is one of the best I’ve had. Traditional Turkish and continental breakfast every morning. Simit brought in daily from Karakoy Simit which is one of the best rated simit bakeries. Fresh seasonal fruit, delicious nuts, selection of olives from around Turkey, cheeses. Everything is labeled. There’s pancakes and savouries. Even Turkish egg dishes that are normally served for lunch are at breakfast including Turkish halwa. The pastry and bread selection is huge. The staff are also happy to make eggs to your liking. The location of this hotel is fantastic. Not in the touristy busy area. It is located on a main busy road but the sound proof is good within. Makes it easier to get around. The hotel is beautiful decorated. Lovely restaurant with a view and a nice rooftop terrace. Within walking distance to great restaurants, most attractions. Galata tower is across the road and two streets up. 10min easy flat walk to Galata port, 25 min easy walk over the bridge with views all around to Blue Mosque and old town. Also easy to walk to Istikal street and Taksim square. Easy ferry access to go to the Asian side. The rooms are spacious and modern. Very nice bathrooms and linen. This was the most enjoyable holiday due to the hotel being in close proximity to many attractions. Made it easy to go out and come back to rest and then out to dinner again. All walking.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special — they were welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with anything we needed. The location is absolutely perfect, making it easy to explore the best attractions and local gems. Yet, despite being so central, the hotel maintains a serene and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day out. The ambiance throughout the hotel is warm and inviting, with an energy that makes you feel right at home. The amenities are top-notch, with everything you could possibly want for a luxurious and comfortable stay — whether it’s the chic rooftop bar, elegant restaurant, or thoughtfully designed communal spaces. This hotel truly has all the elements of a 5-star experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect getaway. Can’t wait to return!

This is my second stay at 10 Karakoy, it's my go-to hotel in Karakoy. I'm a frequent traveller to Istanbul and I find this hotel to be one of the best in terms of location and facilities overall. I believe it was recently renovated from our last stay everything was excellent and I would go again in future.

It was very good experience in this hotel. Clean, comfortable, delicious breakfast and friendly stuff. Location of the hotel is really convenient for both taxis and walking. Thanks Adam for his help with our taxi to the airport. I like this hotel!

The one cleaning staff lady with the hijab was so kind and nice to us it made all the difference about feeling welcomed. Also the door guy and the technician were really kind and welcoming.
