They were many great aspects: - The room and bed especially were good and comfortable. - The Spa was really great, with great personnel. - Everyone is extremely kind at the hotel and ready to help and support you if needed. - The view from the breakfast / restaurant is absolutely stunning.

A few points could be improved as well: - The breakfast was not great I must say with some products (bread) that weren’t that fresh. - Although the spa was really nice, the pool was quite cold - Although the location is quite nice, as you are in the middle of many important points, (Taksim, Galata Tower, Ortakoy, etc. All within 10 mn walk) you still have to walk all of this as there are no food options at your doorstep as the street you are on is full of light stores.

We stayed here briefly the night before leaving, so I can't comment on the pool etc, but the hotel was fantastic, the staf were very helpful, helped with bags, recommendations etc. Room was clean and comfy, strong aircon which was needed. The location was also great, just a short walk up to Galata Tower and all the nearby cafes etc, and short walk down towards the waterfront for getting ferries across to Sultanahmet. Breakfast was also good - we found that across hotels in Istanbul they serve a buffet-style which mixes Turkish breakfast with random western foods (like chocolate cake!) but all-round tasty and the views from the rooftop restaurant are spectacular. I also liked that late at night there's always someone at the front desk, which feels safe if you're coming back late.

Hotel is on a hill which could be an issue if you have lots of bags, we got a taxi so wasn't an issue. One of the lights in our bathroom was broken but it didn't affect anything.

We have just returned to Scotland following a six day stay at THE HOTEL Galata. All the staff treated us like family, they were so friendly and anxious to help. The value for money was excellent especially as Turkey has become an extremely expensive place. Both the manager and the guest relations lady offered a service that in our many years of travel, we have never previously experienced. The fact that this hotel also offers included breakfast is a massive bonus and the view over the river from the roof top restaurant is wonderful making an excellent start to the day. The spa and swimming pool are a huge bonus for a hotel at their prices and we both enjoyed massages from the resident masseurs. We thoroughly recommend this Hotel to any traveller

We are struggling to find fault with THE HOTEL Galata but if they were to add kitchen facilities and provide evening meals that would be a further bonus.

I would like to say Big Thanks to the hotel stuff for my stay. Special Thanks is for the gentleman who works in the restaurant on the upper floor in the evening. I came in the evening to enjoy a glass of wine. Unfortunately, there was no wine. However, gentleman opened all windows with the panoramic view to the city, switched on music and prepared beer and offered even nuts and cheese free of charge. A small gesture which makes such a big difference. Huge Thanks for this gentleman. I don’t know his name but he is the best as he is doing it from his heart ♥️And at the end u want to leave tips because he is doing such a great job. I was surprised how welcoming he was. 👍👌🏼Location is good. Please exchange money on Taksim street which is near because rate in the city is crazy. Also restaurants on Taksim street are better quality (Mado) and cheaper than in city center. Location is really good and wifi works perfectly. Hotel is new so if u need smth please inform stuff, they will solve any of your problems. Keep in mind as they are still learning and trying to improve. So be easy on them. Rooms are clean and the cleaner is an amazing guy 👍I really liked sponges 🧽 in hotel. And when I asked to give me one extra, the cleaner gifted me. Which is also a very nice gesture 🫶I suggest to buy breakfasts because the view is so amazing from breakfast area that u will not need to go to Galata Tower. I did not take and regretted. Also ask stuff to arrange for u taxi to a/p. Taxi costs 1100 Turkish lira which is normal for local prices. Go to Basilica cysterns in the evening and to Top Kapy palace in the morning. Prepare headsets. I suggest to buy scarf and abaya. U will need it literally everywhere. The balcony was super clean in the hotel. Which is first time I see clean balconies in hotels. Very lovely stuff ready to solve all your problems.

All was good. Nothing to complain about.

The Hotels Galata is an excellent place to stay, perfect location. It’s a peaceful oasis in the heart of the bustling Galata area. From the moment you step into the hotel, the staff makes you feel warmly welcomed and well cared for. The rooms were impeccably clean and comfortable. The breakfast area offers stunning views of Istanbul. The swimming pool with a jacuzzi was perfect for relaxation, giving the sense of being in a true spa environment. I’d definitely choose to stay at this hotel again on my next visit to Istanbul!

The concierge staff at the hotel were superb, really accommodating, and were able to help with taxis, directions, and restaurant suggestions. They always had a smile and were courteous, offering a tea, while I waited in reception for taxis. The room, was comfortable, and modern, with the room cleaned each day. You were also given a bottle of water each day, which was a great touch. The breakfast room, was on the 11th floor, with spectacular views of the Bosphorus and the city. The selection of breakfast was good, and you also had the choice of eggs each morning. The hotel also had, a small gym, pool, steam room/sauna and selection of spa treatments. I had a fantastic massage and used the pool & steam room which was really relaxing. The hotel is a short walk from Galata Tower one way, and the bridge the other way, so is really convenient for getting around town. Tram stops and metro stops are all under 10 mins away.

There wasn't anything that I didn't enjoy.

Our stay in the hotels Galata was absolutely great! The staff at the reception was really helpful. When I asked them to give us their best rooms with a nice view they exceeded our expectations. The rooms were clean with really comfortable mattresses. They also have additional services that are included into the room rate which is the swimming pool spa and hamam. The breakfast is served on the 11th floor which gives you the chance to have a nice meal with an amazing view. The location is also very convenient since it is close by to the main sightings of the city. I couldn't recommend more this hotel and I thank you for your warm welcome.

We liked everything

Considering it's been open for only a month, it far exceeded our expectations in every way! From the moment we arrived, the staff were so warm, welcoming, and incredibly attentive, and made us feel really cared for. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, beautifully designed and offered all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was especially comfortable so we slept like babies! There was a wide range of delicious breakfast options with a stunning view of the city. Location-wise, the hotel is perfectly situated - literally steps away from Galata Tower. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better stay, and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious experience without the 5-star price tag. Would return to Instanbul just to stay here again!
