Top Galata Tower Hotel Reviews

Elite World Istanbul Taksim

2/10 Terrible

"The cleanliness, breakfast or services did not meet 5 star standards. I have stayed in many 5 star hotels and this is around 3 star worthy. We had a wet carpet for our entire stay and hotel staff clearly just didn’t understand or try to understand what we was saying. We had to request new towels daily & our room was only cleaned once on a 4 night stay. Cleaning staff enter the room despite the clearly displayed sign left us feeling uncomfortable and unsafe, on two occasions (one morning) and we do not believe this was handled appropriately at all. We were additionally disappointed with the breakfast. The breakfast selection had very little variety. Although we paid for breakfast as part of our stay, we only ate there once and ended up purchasing breakfast elsewhere for the remainder of the trip due to the poor experience. Spa tried to charge us full price despite online stating 20% off for people staying in the hotel - when queried she offered 15% off instead - booked this hotel for the spa experience and did not end up doing! Located in a good place where most things are walking distance."

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

8/10 Good

"The room was great but a bit hot at the beginning. Then the AC was fixed and it was very comfortable. We appreciated the 2 bottles of water provided regularly lot. The breakfast was excellent with many choices that changed a bit every day. This is a bonus as we stayed there for 6 nights and one would want some variety. The hotel is on a lovely side street. The staff is helpful and friendly."

The Galata Hotel Istanbul - MGallery Collection

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a great location and the building itself was beautiful. The room was well appointed and had everything we needed. However the cleaning of the room was not what I would have expected, there was hair left from various guests in our room when we checked in."

10 Karakoy Istanbul - Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel. Beautiful building, extremely well appointed in a good location. All of the staff were extremely helpful and attentive, with Fred in particular going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we need. My only negative is the roof top terrace which could definitely do with some TLC. But that is a minor issue - everything else was wonderful."

The Marmara Taksim

8/10 Good

"Great location right in the heart of Taksim. Our room had an amazing view, which was definitely the highlight of our stay. While the room was a bit small for two people, the stunning view more than made up for it. A special thank you to our housekeeper, Bedriye, who was incredibly kind and kept our room spotless every day. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!"

Pera Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel building itself is beautiful as is the internal communal areas like the lounge, which hosts afternoon tea, and staircases to access the rooms. The electric lift is wonderful, very historic and still in full working order as we gratefully experienced. The staff were all pleasant yet slightly robotic in their approach to interaction. Our room was perfectly adequate (wouldn’t want to relax for extended periods in it) and had great views of the city and Bosphorus from the balcony so long as you overlooked the loud, busy road beneath. The high ceiling in the room really helped offset the overall square footage of the room to give it a more spacious feeling. The hotel is in a good location with many tourist sites in walking distance. Plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Apart from slight wear and tear and dated fixtures like the rugs in corridors, breakfast was a letdown. Given we had just had an exceptional breakfast in a true five star hotel in Istanbul the day before, the bar was high but unfortunately couldn’t nearly be matched. There was a large enough breakfast buffet spread but it didn’t feel or taste high quality. The fact only eggs could be ordered off an invisible menu was very disappointing and having to make a specialty coffee yourself from a machine is not 5 star. We did not go for breakfast the second morning and headed out the hotel for it. Overall, the Pera Palace must not rest on its history alone to satisfy customers. "

DeCamondo Galata, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

6/10 Okay

"Be cautious when booking this hotel if you are looking for a good night's sleep. The room was not soundproof which they acknowledged when moving us to another room. The noise was constant throughout the day and night. There is a wine bar directly below the hotel, a rooftop bar above, a busy tourist route outside, regular prayer calls, and numerous stray cats in the area caterwauling all night. As a result, sleep quality was extremely poor during our stay. Breakfast was disappointing, with eggs often served cold. Communication with staff was also frustrating. Many staff members appeared to have limited English, but were reluctant to acknowledge this, which led to repeated misunderstandings and unnecessary frustration. The location may suit those who want to be in the heart of the action, but for anyone who values rest and comfort, the constant noise makes it difficult to relax or sleep properly."
