Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This hotel is ideally located to be close to Istiklal Blvd, Karakoy ferry terminal, Galata Bridge, and many of the desirable tourist spots on the European side. You can walk to most of these locations or take the tram. The hotel is in a restored historic building and has all of the amenities one would need. The staff was attentive and helpful. The breakfast was great with many options for the international traveller. I will def be staying here again!

Stunning spot in the middle of the bustling centrum! Such a cute hotel with everything you need! Stylish, beautiful room and with the best service. Yes, it is a small hotel and you can hear stuff from your room - but nothing that bothered me!

The room was great. In that area you will always hear some street noise, no matter which hotel you book, but the noise was minimal. Bed was very comfortable. Wish i found the hotel earlier. Staff were very nice and attentive. Offering taxis or help without prompting.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I loved staying at the Soul Hotel. The staff was so nice and helpful. I was a solo traveler so the hotel room was small but it was the perfect size for me. I felt safe on the hotel's location and it was near public transportation for the tourist attractions. The only thing is that my window was by the outside fire escape stairwell so I was just a little nervous about that.

I liked the interior and location, but I was on the second floor, where the little restaurant is, so instead of having a good sleep on my vacation, the noise woke me up every morning at 6!! It’s also noisy at night! TV channels are poor while AC kept going on and off all night!

I was extremely exhausted from an international flight and arrived at the hotel at 2 am. The hotel receptionist was super fast with providing a room and while the only one available was the one next to the reception desk, the receptionist assured me him and his crew would ensure there would be no noise from the lobby. He was kind as was the elder man who assisted me with my luggage. I had the best sleep in Soul Hotel that night because the bedding was beyond belief comfortable. Thank you for being so welcoming and having staff that smile.

The rooms are so nice and we had a great view. We didn't purposely find something that was on the water since we knew we were going to be playing an Istanbul that day. They let us keep our luggage there and even called a cab for us when we were late getting back to the airport since we had been out all day. They were great hosts and I would definitely recommend them. You need to stay on this part of town.
