I had a really nice stay at The Galata Istanbul Hotel. The location was fantastic as I could walk to many attractions, plus the staff were super friendly and helpful. However, the bathroom in my room felt cramped, and some of the room amenities could use a little tuning up, which made me feel it wasn't quite great for the price.

I had a great stay at The Galata Istanbul Hotel Mgallery, enjoying the comfortable and well-designed interiors, although the lack of views from my room was a bit disappointing. The breakfast options were good and offered a nice variety, but I would have liked more traditional British items as well. The hotel's location made it incredibly convenient to explore nearby attractions. Overall, it was a nice experience, and I appreciate the hotel's charm and ambiance.

The Superior kingsize bedroom was comfortable and spacious, but it lacked shelves in the bathroom, making it tough to store toiletries. I also had to request additional coat hangers, which was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel's location was perfect for exploring Istanbul, being within walking distance to the Galata Tower and ferry terminals. It’s situated in a charming area with cobbled streets, though getting to some attractions involved a steep uphill walk.

Breakfast was well-presented and tasty, with plenty of options to choose from. I enjoyed the rooftop restaurant for dinner, where the views over the Bosphorus were stunning, even though accessing the menu via a QR code was a bit challenging.

The hotel offered a range of facilities including a well-maintained hammam and decent laundry service. However, I would have preferred if room service provided more flexibility and didn't require daily requests for refills.
