PANDAN KARAKOY SUİT

The apartment looks exactly like the photos. The room is quite big, there is enough space. There are clean sheets and towels, shampoos, shower gels and even bottles of water, tea cups, Turkish tea and sugar. The hosts are super hospitable, communicative, ready to help you in any way. The location is great, this part of Istanbul is very safe especially for walking around late at night, the neighborhood is lively, full of open cafes and people walking. Bosphorus is some 5 minutes walk away which is also great, this is where the ferry station is located. The Galata Tower is also located in this neighborhood. Some 7-8 minutes away is the transportation (mini metro) that takes you to Istiklal street, and from there you can go anywhere you want. Definitely recommend, would come back again.

The hotel is small but cozy, with a spiral staircase. Great place, small quite street.  An area of cafes and restaurants for all tastes. But at night  in silence. At the end of the street where Pandan is is a bar with a large selection of Turkish wine, I recommend. Everything is close by: tram and bus stops, funicular, ferry terminal, newly landscaped "Galataport" with promenade, noteworthy Ali Pasha hammam, crossing the fish bridge - market. Helpful staff, if you need anything - ask and there will be. Manager Davut - high culture, fluent in English, helps in the most difficult situations. He was able to cope with four Misses travelers full of requests and problems. Only one note, perhaps he could be a bit more demanding to the staff cleaning the rooms.

I was looking on the internet which city areas are the best for a tourism in Istanbul. Everywhere was written that Beyoglu is the best for reaching mostly everything by feet. So, I was looking for two rooms in popular Beyoglu. Luckily, I decided for Pandan Karakoy! It is a comfortable, chic, trendy and authentic Hotel in the middle of some streets where “life starts” in the evening with a lot of restaurants, street food and bars. All the people were SO nice and helpful! They also organised a shuttle for us from and to the airport. We got our own VW Bus with an own driver and a really comfortable car. Arriving at the hotel we were shown our rooms and there was really nothing missing. It is like 20 square meters, has a big bed and a bathroom with toilet, shower and everything you need. And in addition, everything was super clean! In the morning you get Turkish coffee, Americano, Cappuccino and breakfast. It was really a pleasure to stay in the hotel!

Good location and accommodating for late check in! There was a little mix up with the room we were to check in to but we figured it out and were offered a free breakfast for the confusion - lovely service. Yusef gave a great recommendation for Hammam.

perfect location amongst the cafes, bars and restaurants of Karakoy. Walkable to anywhere in the city as well as only a 5 minute walk to metro/tram. The room was bright and airy and well sound-proofed!!
