The Halich Hotel Istanbul Karakoy - Special Category Reviews

The location is wonderful, in walking distance to major attractions, shops and restaurants. Rooms are small but provide reasonable accommodation. Breakfast is served at Sister Hotel next door, and it's probably the worst breakfast we ever had. We also had dinner included on half board, food is nice but you are given whatever restaurant decides on the day. No choice and drinks are very expensive compared to other restaurants in the area.

It was a good stay and very convenient if you're using the metro. For a peaceful night's sleep and to avoid noise, I recommend choosing rooms away from the roadside.

It was a nice hotel, they even upgraded me before. But not anymore, my room view is the dirty street behind the building in first floor, staying for 4 nights there, i can't even move my room with excuse of full book.

Nice staff etc and though location is in Karakoy it’s by a large road which means it was extremely noisy all night. Hotel itself okay.

Good place

A pleasant stay near the major tourist location

The staffs all so nice and welcome, breakfast was good, and the view from the room and the restaurant are lovely

Very good hotel, I recommend.

It wasn't up to par for the price. I won't be staying at this hotel again. Unfortunately, the room service wasn't good.

The price and quality do not match! There is a very beautiful embankment across the road. This is the only thing that saves me from giving a very low rating. The hotel itself is located along the road, which is why it is very noisy and dusty. However, it is worth admitting that it is very close to the sights. Cleanliness is 4-, rooms are 4-. Only for an overnight stay, maximum a few nights, but no more. You can't even order coffee in the hotel. It took a long time to check in.

It is very close to the old town, and you can explore the scenery of the old town on foot. The Galata Tower is also very close, and it only takes 25 minutes to walk back from Independence Avenue. However, it is very noisy here at night, and many people like to play music while driving, so you need to wear earplugs to sleep.

The neighborhood is unsafe, and the shops on both sides are closed at night. Not recommended. The hotel asked for an extra 400 yuan for the second person in a double room. The front desk service is poor and takes advantage of tourists.

The hotel is good, the rooms are clean and cozy. The embankment is 2 minutes away, Gala Port is 10 minutes away. It's also not long to walk to Istiklal, but it's a bit difficult uphill (but Istanbul is like that 🙃). The street itself, where the hotel is located, is dirty and there are a lot of hardware stores. The lack of a good grocery store nearby adds to the discomfort. I also didn't like that only the first floors are allocated for clients with dogs. I want to feel comfortable and not infringed.

Not bad, good value for money. Not far from Galahar Tower
