The Haze Karakoy

Fantastic location in Istanbul, right in the heart of the city near the historical sites and fab location for food spots. Really enjoying our experience there.

Stayed here twice, at the beginning and end of a tour, and the rooms were very different (one quite small, one more luxe). Seems to be the case with the hotel, as there are actually two separately-placed elevators which bring you to different areas of the hotel rooms. There's both a lobby-adjacent restaurant/bar and a rooftop restaurant...but the included breakfast was served next door as an assorted individual tray which was too heavy on deep-fried items (and coffee was not included).

Great rooms! Clean facilities and attentive service. The hotel restaurant and bar was extremely expensive but looked great. The hotel was located right at Galata which made it super easy to see all of the sights.

4 stars for its great location in Karakoy. It could be better with some innovations in the rooms. The rooms were a bit small and looked rather old and outdated. The rooms facing the main street will get their share of the busy street's noise. The location was great as it's in the centre of everything. Galata saray is 5 mins walk, the umbrella street is just opposite from the hotel and Galata port is around 8 mins walk too. Taxis are available at all times right outside the hotel and Karakoy pier is less than 5 mins walk. For a short trip in Istanbul we found the hotel's location to be one of the best to easily move around.
