Absolutely wonderful boutique hotel nestled right on the edge of Beyoglu. Everyone on staff present was respectful and polite. The property was well maintained and incredibly charming. One thing to keep in mind is they tend not to answer the phone, so if you book through Expedia the airport transfer may be difficult to schedule preemptively.

The hotel has an excellent location near bars, cafes, restaurants and shopping stores. Also is near Galata Tower and many other attractions. The staff was very nice and helpful.

What an amazing experience! Boutique Hotel steps from Galata Tower, central to everything. I’ll try to be detailed but brief. And for reference when deciding if you would pick this place, I will give you a reference point. Mentally Im Ritz Carlton (lol), financially Hilton Garden Inn (ok, moving on) So overall, yes, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. (and yes- this was our first time to Istanbul) Gift Hotel Centrally located-Euro side Staff: Outstanding, friendly, helpful (small treats everyday at checkin) Breakfast daily 8-10am: Delish + sufficient. We felt full everyday. Fresh everything! Room: tidy, clean, plenty of room for us two Bed comfort: ok, a bed topper would help Pillows: clean, comfortable (I need a good pillow) Bathroom: not huge-but shower was a nice size, water pressure-amazing, got hot fast, clean and cute. No bad water smells and wasnt afraid to brush my teeth with it. Towels: Big, clean, a little worn, non issue. Wifi: good+pretty fast Wet bar with cokes, water bottles, coffee + quality teas. Quiet streets, AC cold at 23°c with the fan on max, then would raise to 24 for comfort. They handled our private airport transfers for 90euro (total) roundtrip Metro 5 min walk (but we always walked 10 min to Karakoy by the water to get to Asian side), Galata Tower few minute walk (5min). We really didnt need a GPS bc the tower is your landmark, once you orient yourself its super easy to get around. I definately reccommend the Gift Hotel!

Excellent warm hospitality. The rooms are compact but modern and chic. My only complaint was the sound isolation between rooms and corridors. Breakfast is very good overlooking a seeworthy view across the golden horn. Hotel is located on a slightly steep road in case you walk there with luggage otherwise the metro is quite close.

We had a great stay at The Gift. The rooms are exactly as pictured on Expedia, the staff were super friendly, the breakfast offered was good. The area itself is very nice, close to the ferries that can take you to many varied districts in Istanbul. We were there for six days and had a wonderful time.

A perfect hotel in every way!!! The staff is very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very clean, tidy and everything is thought out. The terrace overlooks the sea and is always open. The breakfast is very delicious and fresh. The location is central, 5 minutes walking distance to Galata Tower and 8 minutes walking distance to Istiklal Street. It was the most comfortable, fun and safe hotel experience of my life. I would like to thank everyone who contributed. I definitely recommend it!

Charming staff and a great location with good interior design and an amazing view for breakfast. There’s no bar but you can take drinks up to the roof terrace to watch the sun go down.

This boutique hotel is a gem! The rooms are very comfortable. They are well designed. The staff are extremely helpful. The location is excellent--it is close to Galata tower and many good restaurants. It is close to both the subway and tram. It was a wonderful stay.

Really nice hotel and great service and staff. Only problem was our room on the first floor was extremely loud at night as it’s facing the street. Was a pity as everything else was really great and we enjoyed everything else.

Great experience! We had a great time and felt we had the best room in the hotel with our panoramic views from our balcony and everything! The staff from reception to breakfast team to everyone else were super hospitable and we would like to thank them. The rooms are really a lot better than the pictures and they have double insulated windows and when you close them you hear nothing from the street, plus you can have blackout shades if you like to use them. Definitely recommend!

The hotel is very small and old. The first room that we settled wasn’t good at all. It was small, dark, humid, no air, no window and overpriced. The location was right on the street and taxi couldn’t park there because there wasn’t any parking spot. The walking path around the hotel was terrible. It had broken stones and unsafe. The staff was nice. The breakfast didn’t have much choice.

Wonderful experience! The hotel is new, extremely clean and well designed, with thoughtful amenities for a very comfortable stay. Location is short walk to Galata Tower (7 minutes) and Metro station (5 minutes). Staff were highly professional and went above and beyond. Very good buffet breakfast with wide variety of hot and cold options. Highly recommended hotel.

It was overall a good stay. No big complains. The hotel's staff was indeed friendly and helpful. Loved the location and easy access to Metro and buses, plus close to historic Galata tower and Taksim area. The room we stayed was "standard room" and I think it's not spacious enough for two people and even can say it was small, however could be enough for single person reservations. The breakfast wasn't as special as people said in other comments or rated on the websites, but certainly was high quality but could improve with more variety and inclusion of fresh breads and sweets. The staff in charge of breakfast salon could be more professional but no big concern there. Overall, it certainly worths to stay and recommend it.

Absolutely loved staying at The Gift Hotel. Perfect location close to Istiklal Caddesi, Galata Tower and Shishane Metro Station. The rooms are extremely clean, very well decorated everything was brand new, beautiful bathroom, excellent shower pressure. We had a doble room which isn't very spacious but worked perfectly for us. My mother was recovering from surgery and the stuff were extremely helpful. They helped us booking a tour for us, getting food delivered etc There is not restaurante but the buffet breakfast was espectacular. The front desk receptionist was a huge help, assisting me with everything that I needed. One of best thing is the Hotel is Smoke free. Not a single bad smell I noticed on my stay. I'm definitely staying again in this perfect hotel.

My husband and I stayed for 15 days (September 2024) at this hotel and we liked it a lot. I selected a room with bay window for an additional fee and was very happy. T tis hotel is conveniently located within 10 minutes walk of the famous Istiklal Caddesi (Independence street) where lots of good shops are located. The area is safe even late at night. The staff was friendly and helpful. The manager Gokhan Ozcetinkaya greeted us on arrival as we got out of the car. I also met the owner of the hotel and had a nice chat with him. The building has been fully renovated a year and a half ago, and is earthquake proof and offers all amenities. The shower is amazing. The breakfast is served daily from 8:30 am to 11 am and I found it to be healthy and delicious. It is served on the 6th floor which has a very nice view of Halic. I recommend this hotel to any traveler to Istanbul who does not want to spend a lot of money but who wants quality and convenience, especially for first time travelers.

I recommend this hotel to everyone. I found out while staying in Istanbul. On the way, I chose the room after looking at the exterior because it was so clean. Decided to stay in this new place. I asked to store my luggage to go to Cappadocia and the staff was kind. During my stay, the staff were very friendly and helped with all my requests. It is located very close to the Galata Tower and is easily accessible by bus, ferry and metro. Breakfast was simple and the view was very nice. If I go to Istanbul again, I will visit this place

Hotel staff are generally all super nice and helpful. The hotel is really clean and new. While it is in a great location, we paid extra for a bigger room with views but wish we hadn’t. It’s so loud, all you can hear is Istanbuls traffic, there aren’t sound proof windows. We basically couldn’t sleep for four nights. Also the aircon wasn’t the greatest either. Staff said they are working on the sound issues so hopefully that is fixed asap because it really is loud. Lastly, don’t pay fixed price for taxis. Always ask for the meter to be put on. The hotel staff tried to charge me 850 lira for a cab ride to the airport when it actually costs 600 lira when the meter is on. I noticed the meter wasn’t on half way to the airport and the taxi driver said the hotel told him it’s a fixed price of 850 lira. This type of service is not good for a new hotel. It’s off putting. I refused to pay the 850 lira as I know it doesn’t cost that much.

Ich hatte einen tollen 8-tägigen Aufenthalt im The Gift. Das gesamte Personal war äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und stets darum bemüht, meinen Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Das gesamte Hotel ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, modern ausgestattet und schön sauber. Das Frühstück war super lecker. Die Auswahl war groß und abwechslungsreich und alles war frisch zubereitet. Auch das Personal im Restaurant war überaus zuvorkommend und hat jederzeit für eine angenehme Atmosphäre gesorgt. Die Lage des Hotels ist ebenfalls ideal. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der exzellente Service, der sich durchgehend durch meinen Aufenthalt gezogen hat. Das gesamte Team war jederzeit ansprechbar, herzlich und professionell. Ich habe mich wirklich willkommen gefühlt und kann das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch! Danke an alle vom Team für diese wunderschöne Zeit bei euch!
