We’ve had a 11-night stay at Genoa Port Hotel. Excellent welcome and consistent quality service. Having notified them of our wedding anniversary, they surprised us with both an upgrade and a beautifully decorated room (balloons, flowers, rose petals…), such a wonderful gesture ! Ufuk is a very thoughtful hotel manager who was always glad to point us to the right direction, give us suggestions/tips for restaurants, sightseeing and tell us about Istanbul and Turkey in general. The hotel is in a up and coming neighborhood that reminds us a lot of Soho (NY): it is one street behind a diverse array of street food, gourmet restaurants and bars within one vibrant areas. It is also at a 5mn walk from Galataport, another trendy area right in front of the water with great restaurants and shopping. Genoa is near the metro, bus and funicular stations. Moving around whether to Sultanahmet, Besiktas, or anywhere really was simple. Wifi works great, rooms are kept clean and the bedding is comfortable. We have been to two other hotels during our stay in Turkey. It is hands down our best experience. Thank you Ufuk and team and see you on our next trip to Istanbul in sha Allah !

The hotel is located in great area, close to everything. Ufuk is a gentle and friendly owner, he helped us in every possible way, we arrived on a Sunday and everything was closed, he provided us with a phone card, money exchange, guided us into all the places we wanted to see,even reserved online tickets for us for the ferry to izmir. We came with one bag and coming back with 5, we called him and he was very willing to keep the bags for us until we leave istanbul. I strongly recommend to stay in his hotel.

The hotel is totally new and near to many shops and restaurants . Also Mr. Ufuk is very kind man and very helpful and you will feel like home . For sure my next time will be there .

Nothing so far.

The location of the hotel is perfect! So close to all the restaurants and coffee shops. Galata bridge is just 5 minutes away. The hosts were super kind and friendly, the room was very clean. The bathroom needs a little refreshing, but it was ok.

The only thing we didn't like was that you can really hear everything happening in the hallway and it was noisy during the night. Also you can hear the noise from outside. May be they can think of soundproofing the rooms. Everything else was great!

The best location is the biggest value of this hotel. It's in the heart of Karakoy -- the most colourful and youthful district of the European side of Istanbul. The hotel is surrounded by numerous little restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, and the newly constructed fancy Galata Port is within 5-10 minutes of walking (and so is the Istanbul Modern Art Museum). The second remarkable point to mention is the staff of the hotel - so nice, so welcoming, so helpful! You feel cared and looked after all the time!

The room is a bit on the smaller side. If you travel alone then this is not a problem, however for two people it will be a bit snug in there :) Also, if you do not like stairs - then you might think twice, as stairs are rather high and steep and there's no elevator.

location is great; I love Karakoy area after Galata Port was build; it’s both cozy, trendy and well connected; I had superior room which was good size for one person but would be quite tight for two staff was nice; offered tea/ coffee on arrival and helped to book a taxi back to the airport; bed was comfortable; wi fi was sufficient for working though not top quality (I would be hesitant to do a large video meeting); good shower; there is no breakfast but there is a cafe on site if one wants a bite or a good cup of coffee.

everything was good; note that it’s a simple hotel (ex. no elevator, quite small simple rooms), so plan accordingly.

The location is excellent, although a little hard for taxis to find. The rooms are quite large and appear recently renovated. The A/C worked well. The street outside is quite busy but the windows are double glazed and noise wasn't an issue.

It wasn't an issues for me but the lack of an elevator might be a problem for some. I'm sure the staff, who were very helpful, would assist with suitcases. There is no food available, which is reflected in the price.

great location! super warm and friendly service! room is comfortable and clean! love this staying! you can ask any help from the reception desk, they would much like to help you out!

Near of the important objective that were interested for us. The guys for the reception where very friendly and help us with everything. The room was clean and comfortable

Not anything bad about the property, but for the other tourists that smoked in the hotel

New property in a great location. Small hotel located in a quieter alley, meaning less of the famous traffic noise. Staff couldn’t do enough to help you- free Turkish coffee and chocolates, lending umbrellas for the rain, booking taxis etc.

Nothing!
