The property is well located to both the Tram 1 and the cruise port for those beginning or ending their cruise travels. Transportation to the airport was available (at a cost) but made arriving for an early flight less stressful. Reception is available 24 hrs a day. Breakfast is European style, but nice that it is available. Restaurants and bars are plentiful and within easy walking distance. Noise from nearby clubs/restaurants can be heard but we were able to sleep without interruption. Would stay here again, if ever in Istanbul.

The hotel is set back away from a street cars can use. There are plenty of restaurants right near there, within walking distance. The cruise port is only a short walk to Galata Cruise Port. The dinner cruise boats are about 20 minutes away for an easy walk. Breakfast was good and staff was excellent.

Our stay at Nabu was short but its in a perfect location everything is nearby and if youre cruising the port is walkable. Big shopping mall is also nearby . The property was great, with friendly reception arear that's looks very eclectic. Room was nice but missing windows. Hotel transfer was not as smooth as I would've liked but when it arrived the van was great. I would recommend this hotel to travellers it was a small and intimate unlike the big chains.
