Location

Istanbul, Beyoğlu

Müeyyetzade Mahallesi, Kemeraltı Caddesi No:26, Karaköy, 34425 Beyoğlu/İstanbul

Rail transit · 295 m

Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 42 km away, roughly a 44-minute drive without traffic; Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is about 46 km. The hotel does not run an airport shuttle, so plan on a taxi or private transfer.

The hotel sits on Kemeraltı Street in Karaköy. Karaköy tram stop (T1) is about a 4-minute walk and the Karaköy Tünel funicular about 5 minutes, with Şişhane metro (M2) also nearby. Galata Bridge is roughly a 5-minute walk and Galata Tower about 10 minutes; Galataport and Istanbul Modern are within 1 km. Ferries from Karaköy pier reach Kadıköy in around 20 minutes. Karaköy is dense with restaurants and bars, so the streets stay busy in the evening.

The stay

Editor's notes

Noise & sound insulation

The hotel describes its rooms as soundproofed, and one guest noted their room was quiet despite the hotel being on a main street. The area stays lively late into the night, so light sleepers should ask for a higher floor. Review volume is still low, so the noise picture is not yet settled.

Extra fees & things to know

Breakfast is extra on most rates (about €30 per person). Pets incur a non-refundable €100 fee per stay (one pet, maximum 10 kg). Wi-Fi is free for Marriott Bonvoy members who book direct. Check-in is 15:00, check-out 12:00, and the minimum check-in age is 18.

Pool, spa & fitness

There is no pool or spa. A daylit 24-hour fitness centre with cardio and strength equipment is free for guests.

Burdock Hotel Istanbul, Autograph Collection

Istanbul · Beyoğlu · ★★★★★

A 100-room Autograph Collection hotel opened in 2022 on Kemeraltı Caddesi between Karaköy and Tophane, a few minutes' walk from Galata Tower with the T1 Tophane tram stop about 50 m away. Rooms are compact at 20–25 m², but the basement spa with indoor pool, hammam and sauna is a genuine asset; there is no on-site parking and the hotel does not accept children under 12.

JW Marriott Istanbul Bosphorus

Istanbul · Beyoğlu · ★★★★★

A 130-room JW Marriott opened in February 2020 inside the restored, roughly 180-year-old Veli Alemdar Han in Karaköy, next to Galataport. The walkable location is its main asset; room sizes vary within the same category and street-side rooms can pick up late-night bar noise.

Novotel Istanbul Bosphorus

Istanbul · Beyoğlu · ★★★★★

A 200-room hotel opened in February 2016 by Akfen REIT right beside Galataport in Karaköy, a 10-minute walk to Galata Tower and 15 minutes to Sultanahmet by the Tophane tram. A rooftop breakfast room with Bosphorus views and the Qualia spa with an indoor pool are the highlights; Kemankeş street nightlife, cruise-day crowds and Galataport buildings blocking some sea views are the caveats.
