I think of NABU as my home in Istanbul. The area is lively and so convenient to everyplace I want to go. I won’t try to mention all the staff name as I am uncertain of spelling but they are all great!

Our experience at Nabu was great, located in a perfect area to see the Galata Tower, the port promenade and much more on foot, a quiet area but with enough great places to dine and more. Totally recommended.

The staff were nice but I stayed on a Saturday and I did not sleep at all due to the loud music outside this lasted at least until 3am so I don’t recommend it if you’re trying to sleep. I called reception twice about the noise but nothing not even sorry….

Nabu is a wonderful hotel - not too small, not too large! So convenient to everything - many restaurants and important tourist sites Next to Galataport, but also only 4 minutes to the most useful tram stop Just moments from the Golden Horn and Galata Bridge. I have visited Istanbul 9 times over last 20 years and will stay at Nabu whenever I next visit. The hotel staff are so friendly and helpful for any needs a guests might have.

Staff are amazing, due to narrow street. One of the staff helped us with the luggage when we left. Coffee and tea was available throughout the day. Room was amazing and hotel was close to the trains. A little noise due to the closeness of all the restaurants surrounding the hotel. Would recommend and stay here again.
