Value for money. Well placed close-by Galata and not far from the Sultan palace and all the ferry boats. The room was comfortable clean and well equiped. The hotel itself is small but nice and well maintained. Breakfast is ok, it maybe be better with little but is fair and the terrace where it is served is really nice

We had a great stay at The Gift. The rooms are exactly as pictured on Expedia, the staff were super friendly, the breakfast offered was good. The area itself is very nice, close to the ferries that can take you to many varied districts in Istanbul. We were there for six days and had a wonderful time.

The room was spacious and nice however it was first floor and it was next to the road. Therefore you could hear all the noise from outside. But the room itself was nice and spacious.
