Reviews
The fitness room is well equipped for upper body weight training, especially for a hotel in the city. I appreciated that. Not much in terms of cardio or legs, but since Istanbul has so many hills, I didn't mind.
Room comfortable and reasonably quiet, considering the location.
Breakfast is decent, but not really worth the price. There are several better options for breakfast barely two minutes away.
As others have mentioned, it can be a bit noisy, but that’s pretty typical for a city stay and didn’t take away from the experience. The only real downside was the AC—it struggled to keep the room cool, so it stayed pretty warm most of the time. We also used the gym and spa area once, and while it’s a nice amenity to have, there was a really strong sewage gas smell that made it tough to enjoy.
My stay at The Root Hotel Karaköy was an absolute disaster. I booked a double room, but was given a room with a single bed and a child-sized bed instead. When I brought this up, a staff member named Okan Salman was incredibly rude, an Salamann was incredibly rude, dismissive, and acted as if my concerns were an inconvenience rather than a legitimate complaint. Instead of offering a solution, he kept insisting that “this is what you booked,” which was clearly not the case. His tone and attitude were completely unacceptable for someone working in hospitality.
The room itself was poorly maintained — noisy, with thin walls, and not particularly clean. The bed was uncomfortable, and the bathroom amenities were subpar. For the price I paid, I expected at least basic professionalism and courtesy.
Avoid this hotel at all costs. There are plenty of better options in Istanbul where the staff actually care about their guests. This experience left a very bad impression, and I would never stay here again or recommend it to anyone.
