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.

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

The service at the hotel was exceptionally friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The property itself was in pristine condition, appearing both clean and newly renovated. Upon our arrival, our luggage was promptly taken to our room, and we were personally shown the accommodations. Special requests made prior to our stay were carefully considered and fulfilled. The breakfast experience was enhanced by a wonderful view and a diverse selection of high-quality dishes. Coffee and other special requests were expertly prepared by the chef at no extra charge, all offered with a warm and friendly attitude.

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!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Die Hotelbewertung beschreibt die Erfahrungen eines zweitägigen Aufenthalts und kritisiert vor allem die Diskrepanz zwischen den positiven Erwartungen und der tatsächlichen Realität. Die Entscheidung, in diesem Hotel zu übernachten, basierte auf früheren positiven Bewertungen, die sich jedoch als irreführend herausstellten. Positiv hervorgehoben werden die Lage des Hotels und die Aussicht aus dem Zimmer, die beide ansprechend sind und einen angenehmen ersten Eindruck vermitteln. Diese Aspekte sind jedoch die einzigen nennenswerten positiven Punkte. Die negativen Aspekte überwiegen: Das Frühstück wird als ungenießbar beschrieben. Besonders der Caro-Kaffee und altes Gebäck beeinträchtigen den morgendlichen Genuss erheblich und lassen kaum Raum für einen guten Start in den Tag. Ein weiteres Problem ist die Sauberkeit des Hotels. Die Flure und Gemeinschaftsbereiche sind von unangenehmen Gerüchen betroffen, die den Aufenthalt unbehaglich machen. Diese Mängel tragen zu einem insgesamt negativen Erlebnis bei. Zusätzlich wird der Spa-Bereich als klein und unhygienisch bezeichnet. Dies steht im Gegensatz zu den Erwartungen, die Gäste an einen entspannenden Aufenthalt in einem Hotel mit Spa-Angeboten stellen. Die Rezensenten äußern Verwunderung über die vorherigen positiven Bewertungen und stellen in Frage, ob diese möglicherweise gekauft oder unecht sind. Diese Skepsis spiegelt eine tiefe Enttäuschung über den Aufenthalt wider.

Hier ist eine gekürzte und dennoch scharf formulierte Bewertung: Aufgrund der guten Bewertungen haben wir uns für dieses Hotel entschieden – leider ein großer Fehler. Die Umgebung ist heruntergekommen und verdreckt, unser gebuchter „Sehenswürdigkeiten-Blick“ bestand aus Baracken und Ruinen. Schlaf war hier unmöglich: Zwei Nächte in Folge wurden wir um 3 Uhr morgens von einem lauten Feueralarm geweckt – beide Male ein Fehlalarm. Nach einer schlaflosen ersten Nacht wechselten wir das Zimmer, doch in der zweiten Nacht wiederholte sich das Drama. Die „Entschädigung“? Ein schlechtes Frühstück oder ein „kostenloser“ Flughafentransfer, der uns laut WhatsApp-Nachricht letztlich doch 60 € kosten sollte – obwohl ein normales Taxi nur 30 € kostete. Fazit: Kein Schlaf, keine Entspannung und der Versuch, Gäste abzuzocken. Absolut nicht empfehlenswert!
