"We love this hidden gem in Istanbul. It’s located on a small side street just off the bustling Istiklal Street. There are plenty of great local restaurants and shops nearby. It’s a two‑minute walk from a subway station and about an 18‑minute downhill walk to the T1 tram line.
The room was quiet, clean, and nicely decorated. We would definitely stay here again on our next visit. The only drawback is that the hotel sign is quite small, so taxi drivers can easily miss it."

"Property conviently located, staff go above and beyond to assist. By far one of the best breakfast buffets. This is our choice of properties when visiting Istanbul."

"Fantastic location in Galata on a calm, well regarded street that is aligned by other hotels, neat bars and restaurants. Super convenient distance to the tram as well as the ferry terminal. Equally local Galata shopping, restaurants, cafes and bars at easy distance up the hill.
Hotel is modern, well kept and quiet. Breakfast at the other DeCamondo hotel, approx 100 meters away in a rooftop restaurant."

"Great location can walk straight into the nice side streets to start exploring. We hired a car and was busy area to navigate but was greeted with a member of staff who helped with bags and parked my car for me. Was a nice touch. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment but was very happy with hotel and would stay here again."

"Hotel Gift is such great value for money! The room was exceptional, the staff were very responsive, helpful and polite. The breakfast was fantastic, and I loved that they didn’t always serve the same proteins everyday. Very clean, safe, and stunning view!
We felt very safe, it is tucked away but a very short walk to the Galata Tower."

"Located within Istanbul. Very convenient as it is close to the Galata Tower, shops, and restaurants. The only slight downside is that it is tucked away which is not easily seen. Nonetheless, I recommend this place because the staff is very courteous and accommodating. "

When I booked this hotel I never thought that his hotel would be truly a luxurious haven in the heart of the Beyoglu distritct, near to most attractions. The rooms apart from spacious are tastefully decorated and contain every possible item a traveler could need. The top floor where breakfast and dinner is served provides extraordinary views of the bosforus, the horn and Topaki Palace. Also, the staff are very helpful. I hope to return soon.

My stay at the hotel exceeded all expectations, starting with the convenient and well-priced shuttle service from the airport. Nestled in a prime location, the hotel is a mere 5-minute stroll from the iconic Galata Tower and incredibly close to the metro station, offering unparalleled access to Istanbul's many attractions.

We found Union Port Hotel perfect for our needs. We arrived Istanbul a day before boarding our cruise ship.

We had a very pleasant stay in this hotel. Everything was clean, staff were friendly and professional, and very accommodating. We were allowed to check in early when we arrived in Istanbul and told the staff we were tired, and when we wanted to leave, we were guided to an honest taxi (yes this is rare in Turkey) and were helped with our baggage.
We will definitely plan another trip there and stay at the same hotel !
Cheers.

Fantastic location close to Sultanahmet and transportation to all places in Istanbul. Walking to Galata tower and Galata Port. Amazing staff, attention and food at the rooftop restaurant. Breakfast there was very very good. Will definitely return.

The hotel was in very central location, short walk to Taksim Square and the famous Istiklal Street, with easy access to local amenities and shops. The staff were very professional and friendly. The room was very good size and housekeeping was excellent.
