Formidabel beliggenhed og stort rummeligt værelse. Poolen var ikke opvarmet (fordi der så ville komme for mange bakterier?!?) Saunaen var 36 grader, En temmelig tarvelig morgenmad med ringe udvalg. Vi valgte at flytte hotel da en del af planen var spa oplevelsen kombineret med storby - det skal man ikke gå efter på dette hotel.

Hotel is very nice for the price and location. Staff were super helpful and i have no complaints with them. Would not recommend breakfast buffet. Also the "safe" driver who took me to the airport texted on all 3 of his phones the whole time to the airport. Sometimes yelling at his phone and swerving all while it was raining and seatbelt didnt work. Other than that great stay.

Séjour agréable, confort et vue superbes

Séjour globalement très satisfaisant. Belle chambre confortable avec une vue imprenable sur Istanbul, et un bon accueil à l’arrivée. En revanche, nous avons eu une odeur persistante de canalisations dans la chambre tout au long du séjour (signalée à la réception) – on nous a gentiment proposé de changer de chambre le dernier jour, mais nous avons préféré garder la jolie vue. Petit bémol également : impossible de communiquer avec l’hôtel via la messagerie Hotels.com avant notre séjour, nos messages sont restés sans réponse. Sur place, en revanche, aucun souci. L’emplacement est central, parfait pour découvrir Istanbul à pied, mais le quartier de Galata est très touristique et actuellement en travaux, ce qui peut sembler un peu trop bondé.

Nice venue. Well located for Galata without being in the madness of Taksim. Easy 10 min downhill walk to Karaköy station to get the tram to the Old City. Bathroom lovely. Breakfast nice, phenomenal view over the Bosphorus. Be aware however that heading to Galata is a bit of an uphill; there are different degrees of slope depending on how quickly you want to get there however so it’s not too bad.

A Truly Pleasant Experience at Hotel Galata

I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Hotel Galata in Istanbul. From the moment I arrived, the staff impressed me with their professionalism and genuine helpfulness. Whether it was answering questions, giving local tips, or assisting with anything I needed, they consistently went above and beyond. The room was immaculate, spotlessly clean, well-maintained, and very comfortable, which made my stay all the more relaxing. I also really appreciated the hotel's great location. It was conveniently situated with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, shops, and major attractions, making it a perfect base for exploring the city. If you're visiting Istanbul and want a place that combines comfort, service, and location, I highly recommend Hotel Galata. I'll definitely be returning!

Die Hotelbewertung beschreibt die Erfahrungen eines zweitägigen Aufenthalts und kritisiert vor allem die Diskrepanz zwischen den positiven Erwartungen und der tatsächlichen Realität. Die Entscheidung, in diesem Hotel zu übernachten, basierte auf früheren positiven Bewertungen, die sich jedoch als irreführend herausstellten. Positiv hervorgehoben werden die Lage des Hotels und die Aussicht aus dem Zimmer, die beide ansprechend sind und einen angenehmen ersten Eindruck vermitteln. Diese Aspekte sind jedoch die einzigen nennenswerten positiven Punkte. Die negativen Aspekte überwiegen: Das Frühstück wird als ungenießbar beschrieben. Besonders der Caro-Kaffee und altes Gebäck beeinträchtigen den morgendlichen Genuss erheblich und lassen kaum Raum für einen guten Start in den Tag. Ein weiteres Problem ist die Sauberkeit des Hotels. Die Flure und Gemeinschaftsbereiche sind von unangenehmen Gerüchen betroffen, die den Aufenthalt unbehaglich machen. Diese Mängel tragen zu einem insgesamt negativen Erlebnis bei. Zusätzlich wird der Spa-Bereich als klein und unhygienisch bezeichnet. Dies steht im Gegensatz zu den Erwartungen, die Gäste an einen entspannenden Aufenthalt in einem Hotel mit Spa-Angeboten stellen. Die Rezensenten äußern Verwunderung über die vorherigen positiven Bewertungen und stellen in Frage, ob diese möglicherweise gekauft oder unecht sind. Diese Skepsis spiegelt eine tiefe Enttäuschung über den Aufenthalt wider.
