Right away, we were treated with respect and kindness, and given a glass of water after the long and hot journey from the airport. We stayed in a beautiful room with a lovely view of the water. The breakfast was delicious. We would gladly return.

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

Absolutely wonderful boutique hotel nestled right on the edge of Beyoglu. Everyone on staff present was respectful and polite. The property was well maintained and incredibly charming. One thing to keep in mind is they tend not to answer the phone, so if you book through Expedia the airport transfer may be difficult to schedule preemptively.

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.

Excellent warm hospitality. The rooms are compact but modern and chic. My only complaint was the sound isolation between rooms and corridors. Breakfast is very good overlooking a seeworthy view across the golden horn. Hotel is located on a slightly steep road in case you walk there with luggage otherwise the metro is quite close.

Ich hatte einen tollen 8-tägigen Aufenthalt im The Gift. Das gesamte Personal war äußerst freundlich, aufmerksam und stets darum bemüht, meinen Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Das gesamte Hotel ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, modern ausgestattet und schön sauber. Das Frühstück war super lecker. Die Auswahl war groß und abwechslungsreich und alles war frisch zubereitet. Auch das Personal im Restaurant war überaus zuvorkommend und hat jederzeit für eine angenehme Atmosphäre gesorgt. Die Lage des Hotels ist ebenfalls ideal. Besonders hervorzuheben ist der exzellente Service, der sich durchgehend durch meinen Aufenthalt gezogen hat. Das gesamte Team war jederzeit ansprechbar, herzlich und professionell. Ich habe mich wirklich willkommen gefühlt und kann das Hotel uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Ich freue mich schon auf meinen nächsten Besuch! Danke an alle vom Team für diese wunderschöne Zeit bei euch!

Hizmet mükemmeldi ve ne zaman bir şey sipariş etmek için aradığımda bana hızlı bir şekilde hizmet ettiler. Odaların temizliği mükemmel, oda mobilyaları lüks ve manzara muhteşem. Mürettebat son derece iyi ve saygılıydı. Bu otel benim için gerçekten bir hediye olduğu için ismine yakışıyor. Her zaman İstanbul'daki bu otele döneceğim.
