Great views (if you select the junior suites with view) at reasonable price however this is a boutique hotel meaning there's no common area like balcony or separate space to sit or lounge and no breakfast. Hotel has two separate buildings, the rooms with the views will be at the adjacent building which is a side entrance at an alley, you will have to climb up one floor of stairs (tight and inconvenient) to get to a small elevator which can take you to your floor. The staff were very friendly though. I think they advertised it as soundproof room but I could still hear much of the busy city despite being in the 7th floor with the soundproof windows. I only recommend staying here if you select the annex junior suite (sea view) which made up for the incovenience otherwise it's not worth it.

Since we arrived at the hotel they made us feel welcome. The room is spacious. A lot of light and clean. The staff explained and suggest restaurants around. The hotel is 5 minutes walking to the tram which takes you to all the mosque and all the tourist places and Also de funicular that takes you to İstiklal avenue. The metro and the ferry ( Asia to Europe) also is 8 minutes walking. The hotel offers shuttle to the airport 45Eur. I will definitely come back to the hotel in the future.

The staff was so friendly and so helpful with scheduling my airport shuttles, suggestions of where to visit in the city, and even offering me a delicious homemade lemonade after I returned from a hot Istanbul day of walking around. Service felt very personal, and rooms were exactly as advertised. Great connections to the metro and walkable to everywhere.

We stayed at the Union Hotel Karaköy on our second stay in Istanbul and are very happy we did! It allowed us to see a different side of the city being in close proximity to the Galata Tower, Taksim Square, and the Galata Bridge. Our room overlooked the Golden Horn offering spectacular views. The front desk staff were extremely helpful (especially Omar) and our room was very clean and safe.

Fantastic staff, loud street noise but comfortable

The staff at this hotel are wonderful. Ana and Ahmed checked us in, and were extremely friendly and great to talk to. They gave us great suggestions, and were lovely to talk to about life in Istanbul generally. Our one issue was that the street noise was pretty noticeable throughout the night. Otherwise, the room was nice and comfortable. And the view was incredible! We would stay here again if we return to Istanbul
