I never usually leave reviews but this hotel was such a nice surprise, very cute and right in the buzzy Galata district. I was nervous as a solo traveller with some medication to be kept cool but this was taken care of immediately with my ice packs being put into the freezer. Despite not selecting a room with a balcony I was upgraded to one and it was very beautiful overlooking the tower. Would stay here again.

Great location very near Galata Tower. But with the location came the crowds and loud cafes below. Our room overlooked the busiest street which was fine in the day but it was a little too loud at night for us. Also there was a lot of walking to get up or down the hill to other sites. Room was small but nice. Large bathroom with shower. Small refrigerator in room and a small grocery store nearby. Staff was friendly. We added breakfast which was at a local restaurant steps away from hotel. Very good food and service. Had something different off of the hotel menu everyday we were there. Would stay again but in a room off to the side.

When I booked this hotel, I didn’t know how much I was going to love it. Located steps away from the Galata tower, we booked a room with the tower view and it did not disappoint. Right below your room are restaurants boasting some of the tastiest food, and cute stores. It is a very touristy area, and we loved sitting on the balcony watching the world go by even late into the night. The staff were all so helpful and kind, greeting us with a smile and fresh water bottles whenever we needed. Breakfast at a very nearby hotel was also delicious. If you’re planning a trip to Istanbul, hotel des arts Galata is the place to stay!!

Great experience! Excellent location within walking distance to many attractions. Located in a busy area but noise didn't interfere with having a good night rest. Staff was amazing! Very kind and helpful. Yunus at the reception was really nice and took time to answer questions and assisted with recommendations. WE REALLY APPRECIATED THIS. Thank you very much!

From the minute we arrived staff were so friendly and helpful. We were helped to our room which was the studio with the balcony which was well worth the extra cost as balcony gave access to the great vibe around surrounding area. Room was spacious, such a boutique feel and so well equipped with all the toiletries/ vanity kits/ robes ect! Street was one back from the galata tower Main Street (1 min walk). Breakfast served in nearby car which was out of this world! Great choice of food so we even went back there for dinner and drinks later on! Thanks for a great experience.
