I recently stayed at Hotel Des Arts Galata, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Everything about the hotel was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel itself was spotless, with well-maintained rooms and common areas. The attention to cleanliness and detail really stood out.

The Hotel Des Artes in Galata was in a fantastic location. Just steps from the beautiful tower, and so close to many shops, cafés and restaurants. The hotel itself is a beautiful old building, and the rooms are full of cute vintage touches. The staff, especially Siren, we’re all friendly. The breakfast provided was at a café a few steps away, and was excellent.

Galata tower area

I loved the area which was surrounded by restaurants and cafes along the street . I could see the galata tower from my room . I t was safe but noisy and crowded . The room was clean and has a small balcony . The staff were very friendly but the room was very small and there was no TV. The bathroom and the door of the room has little issues .

Stayed at this hotel for 6 nights and it was amazing! Direct views to the Galata Tower and there was access to a rooftop terrace which was beautiful. The staff was also the sweetest and accommodated with any needs. Hasan was the best and helped us out a lot! Would definitely return to this hotel when visiting again.
