Genoa Port Hotel

My room was large for an older city urban accommodation so that was great. The bed was very comfortable. The AC worked well so I slept well. The bathroom was small but I wasn’t it long enough that it was a problem. The location was excellent! I could walk to all the major areas for sightseeing! The staff at the hotel were most welcoming, very warm and friendly and kind. Also the attached restaurant the Cajun Bull was very good too, not expensive and the staff there were also lovely people. I got a good price on the room too. I would definitely stay here again.

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.

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.

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 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 .
