A great location for trendy Beyoglu and Karakoy, and once you've worked out the trams and ferries, all the Old City sights as well (but it's not a far walk without the trams). Excellent restaurants very close by. Staff are super friendly and helpful. The road is quiet, so a good night's sleep was not a problem. The only challenge... More

This hostel is awsome! First, very stylish! we loved the decoration. Aldo, very very clean! the location is perfect, because is not in the middle of the rush and crowds, so it's quiet, but at the same time, is at a very close distance from every important place you want to see while in Istambul, so it is just perfect!...

This hotel has only ten rooms on three floors. The hotel is located close to a nice area where you find the boats to the Asia-side and the bridge over Bosporos. You can also find good resturants here. Ask for a window table and have a marvelous view over Bosporos. Back to the hotel. The staff is very helpful and... More

The levels of service and cleanliness at Portus House, were the best that I experienced of the few places I stayed at in Istanbul. Service there was very efficient and not without charm. Whether location is good or bad depends on where you want to be in the city, but it is between what will be the two keys areas... More

We stayed at Portus hotel for four nights in a deluxe family room with ensuite bathroom. From the beginning it feels like coming home. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The set up with the kitchen is ideal for a young family (our kiddo is 3 years), which makes it more comfortable than an expensive hotel. The location is... More

Portus House was recommended to me by a friend who had stayed there previously. It is well positioned; close to Karakoy tram stop and the Galata bridge (which takes you over to the Sultanahmet/ Old Town), but also within walking distance of the area around the Galata Tower/ Istiklal Caddesi (on the Asian side), where there are lots of good...

After about seven months since my first stay, I came back. The hotel has been repainted, more comfort was added (including slippers:)). What was the same was the friendliness of the staff, who didn't cease to ask me if I want coffee, tea or water! Of course, I'll come again!

We have spent two or three nights at Portus House Istanbul. Before booking, design of the hotel, simplicity and warm atmosphere took our attention. We were not false, it was just exactly as we predict. Location is great. You can just take a few minutes tunnel to go to Taksim, or take a ferry to go Asion side from Karakoy... More
