DeCamondo Galata, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

The location of the hotel makes it extremely convenient to get around Istanbul. The Karaköy tram station is less than a 10-minute walk away and gives easy access to places like Eminönü, Sirkeci, and the Sultanahmet area. Galata Tower is just a 6-minute walk, and we were also close to Istiklal Street, which made the area lively and full of things to do. The breakfast team was incredibly warm, kind, and attentive, which made our mornings even more enjoyable.

Great location a short walk from tourist sites and Galata Tower. Many restaurants, shops, bodegas in the neighborhood. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was amazing with panoramic views of the Bosphorous and good variety of made-to-order items. Staff were so friendly and helped with luggage storage and were able to accommodate my early check-in. Room was a good size (considering that this is a historic European-style building) and had nice touches like a Nespresso machine, fancy toiletries, and tall ceilings. Loved my stay!

The location is fantastic near Galata tower and a short walk to Karakoy tram station for easy access to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque etc. This hotel has two separate buildings that are close together but the 'House' building is the one with the rooftop restaurant and bar; and also this is where you have your breakfast. The views across Istanbul from the rooftop are stunning. A special mention should be given to the staff (reception and restaurant) as they were so helpful and friendly. I would.highly recommend staying here if you coming to Istanbul for a holiday.

The hotel is centrally located, making it perfect for exploring Istanbul. The breakfast was amazing with plenty of delicious options. The staff, especially Cidgem, Ozan, Barış, and Gazal, were incredibly helpful and friendly. The hotel has two buildings, the bank building and house building. The house building had a charming character and was very clean. Additionally, this location is fantastic for dinning out - Gio's Pizza nearby is an absolute must-try.

It was our first time to Istanbul and turkey in general and we are glad we got to spend it at DeCamondo! The location is a 12/10 - it is literally perfect to explore the city (tram, ferry, walkable distances in all directions). We received an upgrade on arrival and a superb welcome snack plate! The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. Shower and supplements top! They even put free water bottles in the bathroom everyday so you can use that for brushing your theeth - so thoughtful! All staff were always open to answer questions and help. We were able to change rooms when we asked for a quieter one (I recommend a room to the front). We think the photos and descriptions don’t do justice! Their roof top terrace has the BEST view we found around - and to start every morning with THIS view and a huge (good!!!) breakfast - honestly I don’t see how it can get better! A heartfelt and personal thank you to our friends from the restaurant - especially Gozal and Cigdem who made us feel at home every morning and practiced our Turkish skills with us! And thank you for excellent bar service to Inan! Hotel live from the people who run it - this hotel is very lucky. I hope it stays a secret tip and a gem as it is.
