Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I was arrived at 4 PM, I took room number 12 and I immediately informed the guy that the air conditioning is not working, it took them more than 6 hours until 11:30 PM to change to room number 26 which I was extremely tired, the guy in the reception (night shift is rude) the room is very very small like 8 meter maximum. No bathroom door or ventilation, you can smell the Shi.. in the room. Very terrible experience and doesn’t worth value of money. - windows are not properly closed - noisy at night - room smelling is bad - unprofessional treatment by reception guy at night - he asked me to sleep by keeping windows open because the AC is not working with huge sounds and mouskitos The breakfast is okay but is not no special at all. I don’t recommend it with 50+ USD - maximum worth a 25 USD per night

Daha önce defalarca kaldığım bir otel. Fiyatına göre yeterli ama bu sefer odada taharet musluğu ve klozet kapağı kırıktı. Yatak da nefes aldığında bile gıcırdıyordu. Bu sefer memnun kalmadım. Konumu çok iyi.

Duşun temizliği dışında her şey çok güzeldi. Odaların içi de güzel ve gayet temizdi. Her odanınki öyle midir bilmiyorum ama kaldığımız odanın tuvaleti ve duşu da biraz küçüktü.

I would not recommend staying at Galatahan Hotel based on our recent experience. After asking for help multiple times with our room, we were informed by the receptionist that none of the air conditioning units in the building were working, as the hotel had not switched from heating to cooling due to the weather, even though it was 75° outside. The temperature in our room reached 86°F (30° C) at night, and despite opening the windows, it was completely unbearable. We asked the front desk for assistance or a room change and were met with complete refusal. We even requested someone come to the room to help us figure out the unit, and that was also denied. At no point were we offered an alternative room or a working A/C unit. Ultimately, we had no choice but to book another hotel — not because we “had to leave early,” as the hotel falsely claimed in response to our refund request, but because basic comfort and hospitality were not provided. The hotel later stated that the A/C was working and that we declined a room change, which is simply not true. My partner was present throughout the entire interaction, and we both stand by our account. To make matters worse, the hotel refused to issue a refund, even though the booking was made in good faith with the expectation of standard amenities and customer service, both of which were clearly lacking. I appreciate the travel agency’s efforts to advocate for us, but sadly, Galatahan Hotel refused to take any responsibility.

Great location and friendly staff

This place is in a fantastic location! You can easily walk to all the main attractions in the city centre. There are loads of great restaurants and bars nearby, which means it can get a bit lively and hard to get a good night’s sleep (especially on a Saturday night). Nonetheless, the hotel has a lovely rooftop with stunning views of the city and the Galata Tower. The breakfast (8:00 am to 10:30 am) changes every day, so you get to try different Turkish flavours. I wish they had some international options too, though. The staff were super friendly and attentive, and they made us feel right at home. There’s always someone to greet you at the door and to offer you local tips.

I have travelled extensively for many years and have stayed in countless hotels. I chose this hotel from an extensive list of Istanbul hotels. The reviews were all very positive and mine agreed with theirs, the cost extremely affordable,; compared to the prices in Canada and USA , an amazingly inexpensive find....a full and delicious breakfast buffet , to satisfy the most discerning person. is included with your room reservation.

The room was clean and functional and the service was attentive and polite. The breakfast rather mediocre. The real problem was the unbearable street noise. Make sure you secure a room in the highest possible floor.
