Dream Inn Karaköy Bosphorus

Excellent location within a short walking distance to the Tophane Tram stop, Galata Port, Galata Tower and Galata Bridge. The Staff is absolutely wonderful. The hotel is less than a year old, so all is fresh and new. Our deluxe twin room was small (which we expected) and similar in size of a typical cruise ship cabin. That said, hotel’s designers didn’t take note of the efficient space utilization and storage of cruise cabins, e.g. under the bed storage for the luggage, which would make a huger space difference in the room. Like many European hotels, the ac/heater system are not individually controlled, but rather activated according to the seasons. That in it self is not an issue for us. In our case (early May) it was cool outside and leaving the windows open would have been ok, especially with the sea breeze from the Bosphorus, however the hotel is surrounded by several restaurants offering live and very LOUD music trying to override each other’s entertainment until the wee hours. For us closing the window meant the heater would’ve been our only option, not acceptable at the time. Consequently our first night was a disaster. Lucky for us the next 4 days of our stay the weather turned hot enough for the ac to be activated, and with the double glazed windows the outside noise was hardly noticeable. Would I stay again? Yes, but it would have to be either in full winter or summer seasons.

incredibly noisy! The rooms smell very strongly of sewage! It is impossible to turn off the electricity in the room without turning off the entire system!

The location of the hotel is excellent, but the room is very bad and very, very small. It is not possible to sit in it, and there is no place for bags, to pray, or to move or walk in it, and the bathroom is very, very small. I do not recommend staying there at all.

La discoteca de abajo sonaba hasta la 1:30 de la mañana retumbando toda la habitación, siendo imposible dormir. Lo demás todo bien.

Sehr gute Lage, bis auf das Nachtlokal in unmittelbarer Nähe. Fenster nicht ausreichend schalldämmend für diese Lage. Zimmer sehr sehr klein!!! Aber sauber! Parkplätzen in unmittelbarer Nähe werden vom Hotel angeboten und sind sehr hilfreich, da ansonsten fast keine Parkplätze vorhanden sind Personal sehr nett und freundlich! Angebotene Frühstück im „Partnerrestaursnt“ war auch sehr gut. Das Hotel kann ich grundsätzlich weiterempfehlen.
