I had a great stay at SubHotel-- the staff were friendly and helpful, the breakfast was really good, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location is great. Walking distance to the ferries, trams, and buses, as well as restaurants, cafes, and lots of historic attractions. Highly recommended if you're visiting Istanbul!

Liked: Staff & service
Great location near some lovely eating places and close to the Galata bridge and lots of transport links. Staff not very helpful or friendly but we didn’t need them much. Breakfast was tasty but no options just the same thing each morning. Fine for a few days but by day 5 I was a bit bored! Breakfast staff at the sister “root” hotel were terrible smoking at the entrance to breakfast room, not providing clean cups etc. Rooms were comfortable, clean and quiet. Overall a good stay but a few down sides. Great location and clean rooms. Poor staff and breakfast though tasty can get a bit repetitive

Don’t look further and book this hotel and you will not regret at all.Location is excellent it’s only 2 Min walk to train station.ion street there are tons of cafes and restaurants.Receptionist was extremely polite and speaks perfect English.Design of the hotel one of a kind in Istanbul also I believe it was futures on CNN.This hotel is better then most 5 star hotel I have ever stayed in Istanbul.It’s very retro and natural.They kept the original future of the building.

Smaller rooms but comfortable. Everything you need for a base while visiting Istanbul. TV has youtube and netflix capability which is nice for English speaking guests. Breakfast very good. Easy to walk across the bridge to Sultanahmet area as well as up the hill to Taksim Sq and Iskatel Street. For the price it is clean, safe, and convenient option. Staff were very accommodating to my requests. Baggage storage pre and post check in. Even allowed me to check in at 7:30am when I arrived.

The property is ok nothing special ,very unprofessional receptionist, we’ve been given a room that was occupied with belongings inside , my safe ,tv and my lights did not work in the room also walking into the next building for breakfast is strange, definitely not a great experience,. Would definitely replace the reception to more professional and friendly faces

When the hotel first opened it must have been just great. Personal, cool design details, great food and bar. But now it seems to be on life support. The rooftop bar and restaurant is now closed. (Covid casualty?) and thinks in the room broken. The owners have a cool new place three doors away ‘Root’ which they seem to be focussing on. Maybe stay there? The location is great but the hotel no longer merits the ‘cool boutique design hotel’ title.

Extremely Pleasurable Experience!! I travel a lot for work and stay in a lot of different hotels, but the experience I've had at this hotel has been by far the best experience out of all the hotels I've stayed in over the years. As soon as I checked in I was welcomed with a warm greeting from the staff and all my bags were handled for me, the breakfast buffet and the staff that cater for it we're both amazing and I enjoyed a lot of new Turkish dishes that I had never got to experience before. My experience was so pleasurable that I decided to extend my stay for another week and when it came to checking out I felt I had built a very warm and personable rapport with all the stuff at the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel for anybody that's looking for something with unique touches and a dedicated service team!!!! I will let no doubtedly be coming back to stay here on my next work trip to Istanbul

Wonderful boutique hotel in the best neighborhood.
Loved it. All the cool art and details were so cool and the room was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, better than we anticipated. Staff were helpful and kind. The location is perfect, literally the center of everything but quiet at night so sleeping is easy. Didn't hear a thing from other rooms. The price is excellent for such a high quality hotel. My only small issue was the bidet wasn't working very well, the handle came off and the water was weak. You also need to be careful of the curve in the bed headboard so you don't hit your head on the slightly sharp edge. Did nothing to take away from our wonderful stay. Thank you so much!
