I had a pleasent stay here, all the front desk staff were lovely and very accommodating. The only downside is the street noise at night, it’s very centrally located steps away from Galata tower so can’t really complain! I would suggest booking a room facing the rear side or the building.

I had a large, spacious room, stylish as befits a classical Galata building. Huge bed. The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is on the roof, with fine views. It’s a normal Turkish hotel breakfast. The hotel is set on the Golden Horn and near lots of wonderful areas.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The pictures online makes the hotel look magically antique and ornate. Unfortunately the truth is that it's just old and run down. The comforter was smaller than the mattress, there was no A/C, and it was incredibly loud and bright making sleep a challenge. We both bought ear plugs to combat the street noise. Great location, but no other positive attributes.
