Anywhere but..

This was described as a luxury boutique hotel. The carpets were srained and filthy. There was mould all through the shower. They charged 5 euro a day to store luggage even though we were coming back for extra nights as part of the tour. Breakfast was minimal and staff very slow to reset tables with cutlery. A number of power points in the room were not working.
It is a good location but I would not stay there again.

Our toilet flush broke but was swiftly fixed, so a good responsive service! Very convenient for all central areas and tourist attractions. I’d wholly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.

I stayed two nights at this property. The first one I paid for and the second one was part of a tour I signed up for. The room's AC shut off every few hours, so I woke up every few hours drench in sweat. My 2nd night/morning there was no Wifi or hot water. Breakfast was included in the rate and I felt like I was stealing the breakfast every time I got up to get something. (BTW they had no juice. Their orange juice was similar to Tang.) The 2nd morning our tour director asked them to serve breakfast at 6:30 bc we had to leave at 7 and there were only olives until almost 7am. I left hungry. The front desk staff was always outside smoking so when I needed something (checking in, had a question, etc.) they made it clear they were displeased with me interrupting their smoking break. When I asked how and where I could purchase a tram card, they insisted on calling me a taxi, and would not help me with my request. When a man in my tour asked the same question, they were more than happy to assist him. Overall, I was ok paying as much as I did for this hotel bc the reviews were decent, but after being treated the way I was, no hot water, no wifi, ac that kept shutting off, and being made to feel guilty for eating the breakfast I paid for and not having a breakfast I paid for, I am very comfortable in giving this hotel a bad review. And for the record, I waited a month to write this so I could be more objective and not as angry.

This hotel has an excellent breakfast buffet. I stayed in several hotels in Turkey, and this buffet was definitely the best.
The location is on the side of a pretty steep hill. Taxis find it difficult to get there and tend to drop you off a couple blocks away and point in the direction of the hotel. But if you can manage to take the trams, which are pretty good, you can take the tram across the Gallata Bridge and walk up the hill a couple of blocks and get to the hotel pretty easily.
If you want to stay in the area near Istiklal Street, this hotel is probably a good option. You just need to walk up the hill a few blocks, as the Gallata Tower is right up the hill.
Because the hotel is on a side street, it's pretty quiet. The AC works well, and the beds are good.

Needs Some Improvement

Overall I enjoyed my stay very much. There was just a couple of simple but important things that needed to be improved, for instance the coffee cups had stains from the previous guests, the housekeeper probably didnt spent much time on in but the rest of the room was pretty clean. The size of the room and bathroom were pretty good compared to other hotels in that area. The only thing I disliked was the clingy casual clothed houseman or whatever his title is. After i asked for an extra shampoo he just insisted going in to my room without event asking if the room was convenient and I was staying with my gf...

The receptionist was professional and the bellboy was really helpfull and chatty with a nice smile.

Cleanliness was an issue

Great area, staff were friendly and helpful.
Cleanliness/housekeeping was a major issue: for days we found bath towels with either large brown stains on them, or footprints. We dared not use those towels. I mean, how do they wash their towels and think those were clean enough for guests?
The other thing about housekeeping is that they don't replenish toiletries. We ran out on the toilet paper and soap on like the 4th night and they were never replenished even after multiple house keepings.
The hot water took 5 minutes to warm up

Lovely location but not if you're claustrophobic

Wonderful hotel, not so wonderful staffs (some of them), had to stand in front of the counter for a while before they even bother to let me check-in. The main problem was the air conditioning. The windows in the room are fake windows (just a wall behind it). So air-con is the only way to control the room temperature, it's very claustrophobic and i had to call the reception to re-set my air con manually the first night, after re-set it was ok for an hour and then the rest of the nights i just had to live with room going super hot then super cold then super hot and super cold again.

On the bring side, very nice location for tourist stuff, not a noise are and very close to some of the best attractions in Istanbul.

At the most one loves a clean room and at Mansol, it's what you get. You are treated with smiles and given all information you want and direction. However, sometimes some of the staff do not have good English or languages.

To make us feel like kings the rooms were brilliant. For someone who stayed in every kind of hotel, the rooms are perfect from sleeping to relaxing. Everything you need is available, water, drinks and of course satellite TV.

The location was magnificent, near shopping and food restaurant.

Modern hotel near Galata Tower

Stayed for one night on March 22nd. Nice hotel with pleasant staff. The rooms are updated nicely and the waterfall showerhead was great. The mattress was EXTREMELY firm...I like hard beds, but this was a little too much.

I wss woken up in the middle of the night by a gurgling nose from the toilet--like it was running out of water in the bowl and suction was coming through the pipe. This happened repeatedly after 5am, when maybe not coincidentally the guests next door were getting ready to leave (not sure how thin the walls are, but I could hear them speaking muffled Japanese). Overall, however, it was pretty quiet.

Did not have the breakfast, in favor of checking out the kaymak (soft cheese) and honey at Karakoy Oszut nearby.

Great location--trams to Sultanahmet and and ferries for a cheap Bosporus tour are close by, and it's a short walk to Galata Tower or the Tunel funicular to get to the heart of Beyoglu. You can buy an Istanbulkart transit pass at the newsstand on the corner by the Tunel entrance and get it refilled with any amount at the juice stand in the underground passage to the tramvay. Super convenient!

The room is fine, nice materials and ambiance. So is the entrance and corridor that leads to the rooms. Space outside the elevators on the floor of the room is very limited. The only real problem is that there is NO window in this category of rooms. It felt quite claustrophobic when all lights go out during the night. Neighborhood is not the best there is. You need to walk the inclined alley in order to get to the hotel, at least when you go out for a walk. Taxi can reach the entrance of the hotel though, but when going out for a walk it is difficult.

Great place to stay near the Galata Bridge

We stayed in Manesol during our week-long trip in December 2015. A very pleasant experience overall-- friendly staff, well maintained property and a terrific location (minutes away from Galata bridge). Though our room in particular was kind of small and had no windows, it was great for the price and comfortable enough to rest in after tiring days spent trekking city neighborhoods. The complimentary breakfast on the rooftop restaurant was top-notch with amazing views of the city skyline to kick-start our days. The fare was delicious offering a variety of fruit, cheeses, breads and Turkish snacks for our heart's fill. In terms of location, this hotel was a blessing -- right next to the Karakoy Tunel station, minutes away from the Galata bridge and Karakoy tram station, and a short walk to Galata Tower). I would highly recommend this hotel, especially for couples and young travelers looking for a decent place to stay in the heart of the Karakoy/Beyoglu area with easy access to the city's tram lines.

Very Disappointing Experience - Avoid This Hotel

The email address provided on the website was wrong so we had to call to arrange our airport pickup. The staff spoke poor English which would be understandable for a small hotel, but not a \"luxury international hotel\". They refused to take our details for the transfer over the phone and insisted that we email. They provided another address which was also incorrect, so we had to try random address combinations until an email went through. We confirmed the advertised roundtrip transfer rate on the phone and in our email, but they charged us double, insisting that a \"roundtrip\" means one way only.

The hotel facilities were OK, though our toilet was broken and there was a bad smell in the room. We dropped off laundry which we were told would be ready by 12pm the following day. Two days later we hadn't received it. When we asked, reception said they weren't doing laundry that day. When we pointed out they had it the entire previous day and most of the day before that, they eventually said they would get it done by that night. 15 mins later they returned our clothes unwashed saying they wouldn't do it.

Overall the staff were unhelpful and disinterested. Whenever we visited reception, they would see us, then ignore us and return to their computers/mobile phones before eventually providing cursory assistance.

Despite being a luxury hotel, the breakfast did not include coffee, juice, omelettes, etc, each of which they charged extra for.

I would recommend avoiding.

Wonderful hotel with perfect location

I am extremely satisfied with my recent stay in Manesol Boutique Galata. Even I bought a standard room, they gave me de lux room. Room was very clean, an average size. The stuff were very pleasant. The bathroom was quite big and clean. I came early in the morning and I left my luggage in the hotel before the check in time. I was exploring the city for the whole day before I came back. Food was very good, restaurant is on the fifth floor. Hotel has the perfect location. It's very close to Galata bridge where you can eat and go by foot to the Spice Market, Sultanahmet with St. Sofia and the Blue Mosque. If you don't like to walk too much, you can take a tram, a tram station is very close to the hotel. A tunnel with an old tram is just under the hotel. If you don't like steep streets, with that tram you can come to Istiklal Avenue for 2-3 minutes, the main pedestrian street in the city. Galta tower is also very close. If you come to Istanbul to Sabiha Gokcen airport, the cheapest way is to take the Havatas bus from the airport to Kadikoy on Asian side for 9 TRY, and take a boat to Karakoy for 4 TRY. That's all together little bit more than 4€. Bus goes every half an hour, boat every 20 or 30 minutes. I don't understand people who wrote about a bad experience with this hotel. For me, it was perfect! This is best you can get for not so much money. I highly recommend this hotel to everybody!

False advertisement

The hotel advertises aircon, my room had no windows, the room temperature was 24c as it was in the summer, this is with the aircon on, the aircon only switched on but didn't extract any cold air, so we had to pay an extra €140 to upgrade to a room with a window and surprise the aircon worked as well. The hotel refused to do anything to rectify there miss advertisement. Also the walks are very thin and made from cardboard which mens you can hear the tv and conversations from the rooms next to yours. Hotel was also full of children causing chaos till 1am. The breakfast was bad with no variety and the hit food on offer was awful.

Great accommodation

Room was nice and tidy but when I walked in I could smell cigarets and this smell was very unpleasant.
Staff was helpful and very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Location perfect as well. I really suggest this hotel to everyone.

Mediocre stay in good location

We stayed three nights. The hotel is perfectly located and newly built. However,the main dissappoinment was that we were provided a room without a window to open air.the window there opened upto a small closed indoor space. Hence natural daylight and air was missing in the room.
Staff showed no interest in providing additional effort in service.
Breakfast bufe was very standard.
Our room was not ready for check in at 2 pm which they note as check in time at their website. Instead we could only check in at 4 pm because of delay in cleaning.

Clean hotel with excelent location

The hotel is clean, cozy and comfortable, with perfect location and very good breakfast. The staff is polite and helpful. The minus are window absence in our room (it was air shaft outside the \"window\") and building reconstruction opposite the hotel.

Galata Charm

Wonderful centrally located hotel with easy walk over Galata bridge and into the Sultanmet district, 10 minute walk to beautiful Galata Tower and 20 min. to the busy, famous Istiklal street with lots of restaurants and shopping to the north where old meets new Istanbul. The hotel was clean and modern with great and plentiful breakfast and wonderful, helpful staff. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again.

Please tell everything so we know before bookin

Staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble at all. Great location and lively building.

However there was major building works going on outside the hotel starting at 6.30 am each day. This should have been clearly mentioned on hotels.com because I would not have booked had I known this!

Also a problem with hotel door entry card, it could not be fixed and I had to ask each time I wanted to go go to my roo. Little things like this are very inconvenient for privacy etc

Good hotel, good location

We had a great time. Very helpful staff, explained how to get to places, went out of their way to make sure everything was OK. We could walk to many sites, and took public transportation to others. All were easy to get to. Breakfast bar is good. Rooms are clean and nice. Hotel street is small and we had to ask where it was at first. A staff member walked out to main street to help us find the hotel. We drove a car and did have parking right in front where the staff could watch it. We will go back.

We will stay again.

Our Istanbul vacation was really awesome and part of this good experience was because of this hotel; newer, super clean, really good breakfast, good location and helpful staff; I specially like to mention \"Mustafa\" and another older guy that I do not know his name for their helpfulness.
we stayed with both our parents and our experience as a large family and a couple was very good.

New and clean hotel

Very nice and new boutique hotel great location
Stones throw from Tunel station direct train to the famous Istiklal street also very close to Karakoy tramline and a 5 min walk to spice bazaar .
The breakfast is very basic and the hotel staff are not very welcoming and don't interact with the hotel guests .
Overall it's a nice cheap boutique hotel in a location where u can visit all the main tourist attractions.

Avoid This Hotel It Is Absolute Worst In Istanbul

There was 24 hour construction happening 5 meters from my room, every single day for 19 days with loud jackhammers, making any sleep completely impossible. Rooms are so tiny, you can't even turn around. They have ridiculous rules, not posted in advance, for example if you want a visitor in your room more than 5 minutes they will charge you 30 Euros. It is on a tiny completely inaccessible side street that no taxi could possibly find, so be prepared to walk your luggage up and down a steep hill. The bathrooms smell like backed up sewage (this is a common problem in Istanbul hotels). There is no restaurant or bar, or any other services on site. There are much better boutique hotels in Istanbul, I really regretted my mistake in choosing this one. Even at the low price the value was just horrible. I would never stay at this hotel again, and I would warn all travelers to stay away.

Second stay in this hotel, staff friendly, depending on who is serving you, but generally amiable.
Room on second visit a bit on the small side, but as before, spotless.

Travellers delight

My hotel stay was was shifte to manesol taksim due to non availability of rooms at galata. However, the hotel staff complemented with a room upgrade.
It was a pleasant experience. The hotel is at 2 mins walk from havatas bus stand, used for airport transfer and the metro, connecting to main sultanhamet and surrounding areas.
