Excellent service, great location by the port, easy access to all the major sights. The staff made specific arrangements for us that proved invaluable.
An absolutely wonderful hotel.
Stayed with the family. Hotel is a hidden jem, staff is great. Service and cleanliness is top notch. The staff provided everything we wanted for our stay. Orhan and hakan at the front desk were amazing and ready to help with everything. Bosporus view is astonishing and very refreshing. we stayed at sea view room. Hotel has a the best location with a walking distance to most Istanbul attractions and historic site. Great restaurants around with some of the best ones in Istanbul.
Fantastic lodging! We showed up before our room was ready so they let us shower in an open room and gave us free breakfast which was outstanding. Everyone was incredibly nice and the views from the restaurant were incredible. We will definitely be back!
We had breakfast every morning at the rooftop restaurant and it was superb. The staff was very professional and kind and Mustafa was wonderful representstive for the establishment.
Thank you Mustafa for making our stay fantastic.
An amazing hotel located in the center of Karakoy neighborhood. Rooms are spacious & clean. Staff goes above and beyond to accommodate you. Would highly recommend this hotel.
Room was great. Very nice hotel in good location to get to the cruise port. Close to shops and many restaurants. Good restaurant on the ground floor. Hotel staff were exceptionally helpful. Breakfast on the roof top was very good with nice views. Highly recommend.
Hotel de Reve was a delight. The staff were incredibly —especially the breakfast and reception teams. The traditional Turkish breakfast was delicious, the room spotless and comfortable, and the location perfect for exploring Istanbul on foot. The restaurant views were simply stunning.
Highly recommended!
We enjoyed the hotel and its services it had to offer. The breakfast was really nice from the hotel and warm welcome from Mustfa bey was marvelous! 🤗👍 would recommend the hotel.
Excellent experience with awesome hotel and service team. They pampered us with room upgrades, freebies and excellent staff attitude. Great location as well!
Perfect location for exploring Istanbul on foot. Travelling for work, but with a little time to explore, having such a central location enabled me to combine the two. The rooftop breakfast each morning was delicious, with friendly and helpful staff ensuring I had everything I needed. The front desk staff were also incredibly kind and helpful throughout. The room was large and comfortable. I would definitely return and highly recommend.
This hotel was really nice. Very quaint and modern. It was really a surprise when we arrived from the welcome to the actual room being wonderfully decorated to the welcome drink at the rooftop restaurant. While there were a few issues during our stay, I would recommend others to stay here.
We stayed at De Reve Galata once before, so this was our second time around.
The front desk is super helpful and supportive, arranging pick-up from the airport for us before we arrived to helping throughout the stay with any inquiries.
The rooms very nice, clean and spacious.
The highlight every day was the breakfast on the rooftop served by Mustafa, who is an absolute pearl for the hotel. With his warm and welcoming nature, he was always in a splendid mood making your day start on a huge positive.
The hotel is located perfectly to Istanbul Modern Museum, the Galataport shopping mall and a short 10 min walk to the Galata bridge taking you over to Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar.
Can highly recommend this hotel and will surely come back again, once in Istanbul.
We had a special time here! Great location for easy access to all the main spots to see! We stayed in a room with a balcony and an indoor jet tub (room for two!) it was perfect! My brother in law arranged to have the hotel make a very special arrangement my twins and my birthday - rose bouquets and roses everywhere, a cheese and fruit and wine snack and special note! We were so surprised!
Wonderful large rooms, comfortable bed, all amenities. Ideally situated for the cruise port and local restaurants bars and patisseries. Staff were very helpful and welcoming. Lovely roof terrace restaurant and bar. Really delicious and plentiful breakfast. Will definitely come back.

Great hotel in a great location. Loved our corner room. We came back and stayed in a room with a jacuzzi tub. It was nice. Not as nice as the room with the view. The breakfast was a highlight. It was an absolute pleasure getting to know Mustafa, Ahmed, and the rest of the crew. I never felt so welcome anywhere at an anytime. Same goes for the front desk staff. Everyone was great. It was seamless. Welcome drinks, great people, great treatment, perfect location.. 10/10.
Fabulous room. Staff were all friendly and attentive. Nice location and area for walking. Very central to all. Breakfast was stunning and Mufasta and his team were superb.
