From the moment we arrived until the time we checked-out, we were treated like royalty. I say that literally. The staff were amazing. If I had to list the names of those that went above and beyond, I would simply write "All". We stayed for 9 days 8 nights. The room was spotless and perfect. Everything we needed was there. (On my wife's birthday, the third day of the trip, we came back to our room and an amazing, and delicious, chocolate cake with Happy Birthday written on it with plates and a whole spread, was left in the room. I never told them it was her birthday) The view from our room plus the view from the restaurant were stunning. An amazing lounge area for drinks in the lobby. Location could not have been better. We walked everywhere. Galata Tower is a brief, steep walk from the front doors as well as the Galata Bridge If you are still scrolling through hotels and are reading this review, I urge you to book your stay here. You will be extremely satisfied. We will definitely be staying at this hotel again and again. 5 Stars+ Thank you.

Hotel is very average, not 5 star, nothing special. Service needs to improve, no one to help with getting bags down stairs at departure. Very limited choice of food, nowhere to get a lighter meal. Nice views from bar and good location but not worth the 5 star prices

Really disappointed

Really disappointed. We arrived at night to be shown to our room, we only released in the morning it had no outside windows!! So was dark and had no air. Imagine putting guests that are staying for 3 nights in a room like that. I was really excited about the stay, was really disappointed. Front desk staff were cold, it wasn’t a nice atmosphere. I expected more from this brand.

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.
