The staff is amazing. The guy who welcomed us at the check in (I think his name was Meat) was really helpful and very attentive. The view from the terrace at the hotel where breakfast is served (a few steps from Sub Karakoy) is amazing for pictures of the Galata tower in the back. Food is nice and the gym in pretty good conditions. Location is perfect. Close enough to enjoy most of the attractions with the tram, and away from the noisy crowd of Taksim and Sultanahmet. Bravo!

The rooms, service, and location are great. Shout out to Ayberk and Mert who were very helpful during our stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate us with our specific requests. They have plenty of tea, coffee, and water at the lobby next to their bar. The restaurant at the rooftop has a great view of the city. We enjoyed the coffee pods and instant coffee machine in the rooms. We could hear a bit of noise from the restaurant upstairs , but the streets were quiet night.

SuB Karakoy Special Class is my go-to boutique hotel in Istanbul each time I am passing though town. The rooms, though small, are perfectly appointed and comfortable. The staff, led by the GM Alp, is exceptional. You have access to the more upscale sister hotel next door for a excellent breakfast with a spectacular roof top view as well as the hotel's spa. When you step out the door you are immediately thrust he charming Karakoy neighborhood and its cafes, restaurants and vibrant local scene. A tram station is nearby for longer wxcursions.tram. The rate is very reasonable. All in all SuB Kara is a fantastic place ro stay in Istanbul's Karakoy neighborhood.
