We have enjoyed a lot our staying at The Galata Istanbul MGallery hotel. Excellent location and walking distance to the Galata Tower. Very friendly and professional staff, clean room . From the 3rd floor restaurant you could have an amazing view of the Mosque and Bosporus. Really appreciated all the arrangements and help received from the hotel. A must recommend place to stay.

For us this was the perfect location. A couple of minutes from the Galata bridge and access to the old town and minutes away from both the Karakoy area and the Galata Tower albeit up a steep hill but this is unavoidable. Hotel itself was in excellent condition and staff helpful. Bonus is the onsite presence of a beautiful hammam.

This was an excellent choice with very friendly and helpful staff - and well positioned for walking to the old town. The only downside was that we have not booked breakfast before. It was good but expensive- we should have booked it in advance.

I'm eager to return to The Galata Istanbul Hotel MGallery for another wonderful experience. The hotel's prime and tranquil location, combined with its friendly staff, made my experience truly enjoyable. The restaurant not only offered tasty food but also provided a breathtaking view. The highlight of my stay was the Historical Turkish Bath & SPA ‘Çeşme Hamamı, adding a perfect touch to my relaxation. Highly recommended!

Hotel catered to a certain clientele, which wasn’t me but I only stayed one night so everything was fine. Helpful staff, great location close to public transportation and all the happenings around Galata Tower and The Bosporus. Do note the restaurant changes into a club on Friday night, which was right above my room.

This was my second stay at this hotel, and there are definitely things I like about it. The location is great, the staff are kind and helpful, and overall it’s a comfortable place to stay. We booked a Superior Golden Horn View Room because one of the photos showed a corner panoramic view of the Golden Horn. However, when we arrived, I realized the view from our room was not what I expected. The staff explained that a different photo actually shows this room, and the one I was hoping for was a Junior Suite—but there was no way for me to know that from the listing. I was willing to pay extra to move to the Junior Suite, but unfortunately it wasn’t available. The hotel apologized and offered us a different room, which we accepted, though I was still a little disappointed. It’s now been a month since my stay, and I see that the same misleading photo is still shown under the wrong room category. Just a note for travelers: if you are booking the Superior Golden Horn View Room, be aware that photo #9 does not represent this room.

As a family of 10 we thoroughly enjoy our stay at the Galata Hotel at the end of October 2024. We were there 3 nights and 4 days. Hotel is pleasant, the rooms were large and very comfortable. The hotel accommodated us by having all our rooms next to each other. The staff and service was impeccable, very warm, welcoming and attentive. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone for making our holiday special. The location is great and near shops, cafes and restaurants. Advisable to be fit as there are some steps and some steep roads not lasting more than a few minutes before you enter the main tourist area.

Solid hotel. Great location - right in the middle of it all. Excellent facilities. Gym is a bit basic but better than nothing. Rooms are great. Reception staff are good when you engage with them, but not exactly proactively so. Told front desk about a blocked shower drain, twice, but wasn't fixed. Other than that, a great stay.

We had such a wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything went wonderfully. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The location is safe and in a great spot to walk to all the city’s treasures. It’s better to stay on this side of the river away from the extremely touristy parts, but still just a walk or tram ride away. The rooms are beautiful spacious and clean. Showers are wonderful. The service all around is impeccable. Room service to hamman (which is free each day) was fabulous. Everywhere you turn there is someone to welcome and help. We will definitely return.
