We were scheduled to cruise out of Istanbul on June 26th. We came in a day early. Having been to Istanbul several times in the past, we had seen the traditional tourist sites and wanted to be near the port for a nice leisurely morning before going to the ship. I did some research and came across this hotel through TripAdvisor. I am so glad I took their advice.The Karakoy Port Hotel exceeded all expectations. From the man that greeted us when we came in, to the refreshing drink we were served while checking in, and the exceptional service; it was such a treat after a long flight. The rooms reminded me of a palace. Once we got to our room, we saw our ship right outside our window. Everything was immaculate and the rooftop terrace was a wonderful place to relax and just take in the city. When we asked for a car the next day, they said it was just a few minutes' walk to the terminal. When we checked out, one of the employees took 2 of our bags and walked us to the terminal. What service! I can recommend this hotel without reservation.More
