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.

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.

Overall stay was okay. Property is in a great location in gálata and nearby the tram / lots of rooftops / going out areas. Room itself was really nice and clean. Overall service was fine as they were trying their best. Would rate this hotel a zero for VIP access benefits. I had to repeatedly ask for the spa discount and welcome drinks as they were not offered at checkout. I made a spa reservation that they messed up and then they didn’t have anywhere on file that I was an Expedia member so it was a huge hassle to get the discount. Made for a disjointed stay — disappointing as I spent 6 nights there.

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.

I'm 62 years old and have traveled to 12 different countries and this is one of the best I have ever been to anywhere , everyone was so so friendly and helpful. The breakfasts was in the top five of any I have ever seen. I really loved the fresh honeycomb every morning. I got a chance to talk to the general manager what an outstanding gentleman he made sure that there was nothing more he could do for me and gave me lots of suggestions on places to travel next all in all a wonderful stay and I would recommend this to anyone any family if you are coming to a Istanbul stay nowhere else but here

The Galata is a wonderful hotel with friendly staff, delicious Turkish breakfast, and well-appointed rooms. The Turkish bath on-site is very nice, with similarly amazing staff and the amenities you would expect. My only issue, and not one the hotel can control, is that the area immediately around the hotel is in a state of transition. Many buildings are under construction and its difficult for car services to reach. It's not really a big deal because once you walk closer to Galata Tower, things are nicer again. If you're reading this 6 months from now I'm guessing much of it has cleared. I'll also acknowledge we stayed in mid-February, which is definitely the off-season, so that could partly be the cause. Overall an amazing experience and one I would repeat next time I'm in Istanbul. Definitely order the Turkish breakfast in your room and the Turkish bath!
