oh, galata's in istanbul is quite the treasure, assuming noise from slamming doors and echoing conversations isn't a dealbreaker. the reception staff exudes friendliness, or at least they tried. after 2 nights of feeling like an unimportant guest, you'd think a complimentary upgrade or some sort of gesture would be appropriate, but apparently that's too much to ask.

Is it hype or the real deal?

The location was unbeatable. surrounded by mouthwatering eateries, perfect for quick meals. The attentive staff created a memorable surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, adding touches that made us feel special.

Noise from the vibrant nightlife outside made it hard to sleep, especially in street-facing rooms. Limited room storage space was inconvenient, making it tough to maneuver comfortably.

The location was excellent, surrounded by vibrant bars and restaurants. However, noise from neighboring rooms was disruptive at night.

Lovely rooftop breakfast with beautiful Bosporus views.

The location is incredibly central, placing you right next to lively streets filled with charm. The Deluxe Double Room had modern amenities, adding a touch of comfort.

However, it can get noisy from the street and nearby guests, which might disrupt your sleep, especially with windows lacking proper blinds. The walls seem thin, so you might hear clattering and laughter from other rooms well into the night, impacting your rest. Even after contacting reception, noise issues persisted into the early hours, making it tough to find peace during the stay.

Oh man, the cream cakes at the breakfast buffet are the stuff of legends! I also found a gem of a spot, Karakoy Corba Evi, just a hop away for local soups that’ll warm the soul. Plus, the staff were incredible, always ready to lend a hand!

The noise from the street took some shine off the stay, especially with slamming doors and chatter. Cleanliness could have been better too, and those single beds? Way too small for comfort.

Had an amazing time! The staff went all out for my boyfriend's birthday, decorating the room beautifully! Location was great for food and sights, but the noise from slamming doors kept us a bit restless at night. 🥳

10/10

The staff were sweeter than a peach, always ready to lend a hand. We reveled in the rooftop breakfast with stunning Bosporus views and there were so many options! The private spa time was just what we needed after busy days, and the pool under that starry ceiling made us feel magical. Recollecting every moment is like savoring a warm biscuit, just delightful!

Can't recommend highly enough for exploring town

Clean hotel, modern amenities, with a great variety of dining options available and a lovely rooftop breakfast experience offering stunning views.

All was wonderful.

The staff was incredibly helpful. arranging a surprise for my boyfriend's birthday with splendid decoration and thoughtful touches like rose petals. The breakfast had delicious options, and the cozy lounge areas were inviting.

A bit more soundproofing in the rooms would enhance the experience. sometimes we could hear conversations from neighboring guests.

The Galata'S offers a modern stay with comfortable rooms, a great wellness area featuring a nice pool, and 3 fully equipped meeting rooms with the latest technology. The hotel’s proximity to the vibrant cafe and restaurant scene in Karakoy adds significant value to your experience, making it perfect for business travelers. The staff were attentive and accommodating during my visit, which further enhanced the overall quality of my stay.

Noise from the street can disrupt your peace.
