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!

A welcoming and clean hotel

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and welcoming. It is an easy walk to the metro station. All the major attractions in Istanbul are easy to get to either walkable or with public transportation. We used the pool and spa facilities, it was great after a busy day exploring the city.

Great hotel. Lovely helpful staff. Fantastic varied breakfast. Easy transport system to the centre. Ate out in the hotel area of Galata rather than the centre as less touristy. Only downside was that the hotel pool was very cold (okay I guess if it's the summer and hot outside) so only used it once. I
