About Nomad

Set in the dynamic Beyoğlu district, Nomad Hostel Karakoy invites guests to experience Karaköy, one of Beyoğlu’s buzziest neighborhoods. Root is within 15 minutes’ walk from Tophane and the Karaköy ferry terminal, as well as the Galata Bridge and the historical Galata Tower. The Hotel is 1.5 kilometers from Taksim Square and 35 kilometers from Istanbul Airport.

Nomad Hostel Karaköy is located just opposite the historical peninsula, near the picturesque Galata Bridge, and below the historical Galata Tower. Karaköy has emerged as one of Istanbul’s most talked-about districts, showcasing quaint streets lined with both new and long-standing art galleries, boutiques, cafes and restaurants, as well as lively bars and nightclubs. The neighborhood is also a destination for street art – commissioned pieces as well as spontaneous expressions. Galataport Istanbul, a contemporary development with residences, restaurants and retail and office space, is less than 10 minutes’ walk from Root Karaköy.

The Beyoglu district, stretching from the shores of the Golden Horn to the Bosphorus, encompasses art galleries, ateliers, bars, and restaurants. The Tophane tram stop is just 50 meters from the Hotel, and offers easy access to the Sultanahmet district and its important historical and cultural sites, such as Topkapi Palace, the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern, along with the Archaeological Museum, the Hippodrome, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Bazaar. Root Karaköy is also close to the Istanbul Modern Museum, Taksim Square and Istiklal Street, a lively pedestrian mall with shops, cafes, and galleries.
