I had a wonderful stay at Grand Galata. The spa was an added amenity! I used the pool, sauna, and steam room. The bed was very comfortable and it gave classy European luxury. I would definitely stay here again. The staff were also so helpful and amazing! Thank you for a relaxing stay!

Excellent hotel, great location very close to Galata tower, a short walk to Galata Port and a 25 minute walk accross the bridge to grand bazaar. Also close to Istiklal area. Great service from Sabri, Elif and Huseyin. Stopped in Istanbul twice during the journey and stayed here twice. Also, the breakfast was lovely but even more impressive was the fabulous views of the Bospborus. Will recommend to my family.

Me and my wife stayed here for our honeymoon. The service was amazing. The workers Sabri, Elif and Serbon were so understanding of the fact that we didn’t speak Turkish and helped us find nice places to eat and even took pictures for us. They also got us a taxi from our hotel from the airport for cheaper prices!! 10/10 would highly recommend!

The room was always kept spotless, the soundproofing was excellent, and the location was perfect — close to everything there is to see in Istanbul. The small spa was a lovely addition for a relaxing afternoon, although complimentary water was not provided there.

The staff were always very friendly and welcoming.

Hotel is very nice for the price and location. Staff were super helpful and i have no complaints with them. Would not recommend breakfast buffet. Also the \"safe\" driver who took me to the airport texted on all 3 of his phones the whole time to the airport. Sometimes yelling at his phone and swerving all while it was raining and seatbelt didnt work. Other than that great stay.

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.

Most of the staff people were very friendly and the rooms and view was very nice BUT this is the most unprofessional hotel i’ve ever stayed at. There was an incident where my friend lost her wallet and we called 10 times at the hotel front desk and nobody ever replied. Then when we departed from it I asked a business invoice which they told me okay and 2 months later i still don’t have the invoice. I had to contact them 2 times in order to ask again and again they kept telling me they’ll get back to me and they never did which is super unprofessional and shows lack of responsibility towards customers

Bro did an amazing job of taking care of my needs, while I was there, all the historical sites are in perfect range of the hotel, the last day when I was about to leave one of the staff members was not going to let me eat and Salih let me eat for free, if your looking for a place to stay, The Hotel Galatas is the place, the terrace is immaculate

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

A welcoming and clean hotel

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and welcoming. It is an easy walk to the metro station. All the major attractions in Istanbul are easy to get to either walkable or with public transportation.

We used the pool and spa facilities, it was great after a busy day exploring the city.

It’s a good property and I like it but they need to add European/British breakfast , and not Turkish breakfast only. They also need to put signs in English in the lift and around the Lobby and inside all the rooms.

New; literally open less than a month. Clean room (with comfortable bed), friendly and helpful management and staff! Short walk to Galata Tower, cafes, coffee shops, and local burek/tea shops. Metro station five minutes up the hill. Half hour walk over the Galata Bridge to ALL must-see sites: Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Spice Market, Grand Bazaar. Stayed two nights and would stay again!

It was a fantastic day. The location is charming near Galata tower public transportation is very near. There are so many nice restaurants and coffee shop near the property. The staff were great. The spa was great. Everything was great. The only thing is breakfast is repeated the same every day for a long stay you kind want some variation on the breakfast where you want new items or types of food?

Todo el mobiliario del hotel se ve nuevo, en excelentes condiciones, decoración sobria, moderna y elegante. Las habitaciones y baños muy limpios y muy amplios, el personal super amable con excelente actitud de servicio, siempre atentos y ayudando. La ubicación es inmejorable. Es verdad que la calle del hotel no se ve muy linda pero el hotel es perfecto, la ubicación excelente.

The hotel is newly renovated, rooms are super clean. The location is excellent — close to Galata Tower, Pera, cafes and restaurants. The street is lively daytime and quiet at night (no bars etc), windows have excellent sound isolation, so no sound is coming in. The hotel stuff is amazing. Everyone is extremely helpful and polite. Extra tip: don't skip the restaurant on the top floor. The views are to die for!

Formidabel beliggenhed og stort rummeligt værelse.
Poolen var ikke opvarmet (fordi der så ville komme for mange bakterier?!?)
Saunaen var 36 grader,
En temmelig tarvelig morgenmad med ringe udvalg.
Vi valgte at flytte hotel da en del af planen var spa oplevelsen kombineret med storby - det skal man ikke gå efter på dette hotel.

Séjour agréable, confort et vue superbes

Séjour globalement très satisfaisant. Belle chambre confortable avec une vue imprenable sur Istanbul, et un bon accueil à l’arrivée. En revanche, nous avons eu une odeur persistante de canalisations dans la chambre tout au long du séjour (signalée à la réception) – on nous a gentiment proposé de changer de chambre le dernier jour, mais nous avons préféré garder la jolie vue.

Petit bémol également : impossible de communiquer avec l’hôtel via la messagerie Hotels.com avant notre séjour, nos messages sont restés sans réponse. Sur place, en revanche, aucun souci.

L’emplacement est central, parfait pour découvrir Istanbul à pied, mais le quartier de Galata est très touristique et actuellement en travaux, ce qui peut sembler un peu trop bondé.
