I’ll try to be the most impartial person I can. Unfortunately I booked it for 3 nights and I could stay only one, I’d to find another place to spend the rest. If you are traveling solo and/or really don’t mind for a nice room to accommodate you, it’s a nice place to be and close to everywhere. In my case I believe that was more into expectations I had before. The room was super small, the mattress had a deep in one of the sides, being uncomfortable to sleep. The bathroom wasn’t as described correctly and didn’t have enough fotos in the ad. It was literally an appendix inside the room with a glass to protect. In addition the shower cab was super tight for a 1.85m person and had no light and no window. Breakfast, super disappointing. I paid for it and had to pay again to get a scrambled egg. On top, breads were like the leftovers from the previous day. Lastly, the windows were not protecting at all the noise from outside, making my night worse. I approached the reception and they offered me another room but literally with the same layout of toilet, room and breakfast. I refused and booked another hotel.
I could hear all of the noise from outside
Toilet wall, there was no lights inside the shower cab.

Güleryüzlü bir gece resepsiyonisti var, otele gelecek olursak tarihi bina ve fiyatına göre iyi bir performans sunuyor, bir turizmci olarak tavsiyem ise odaya 2 kişi için terlik koymanız, kullanılmış ve bitmeye az kalmış tuvalet kâğıtlarını kesinlikle tuvalette tutmayınız hijyenik değil. Onun dışında her şey yolunda.

The street noise in front of the hotel is excessive; frequent cars lay on their horns all night long. The hotel windows do very little to mitigate this. Almost no sleep was had for two nights. The mini fridge would not stay on and the TV had no signal. Plus, the heavy glass shower door is stuck on the concrete sill at the bottom and makes a terrible noise if moved. No showers were taken over two days. The good things that can be said: close to metro and Galata tower, friendly staff, nice breakfast room with decent breakfast.

This place was really loud at night. Also there are no screens so there were bugs biting us that were coming in the open window that is was the only ventilation because there was no AC. The location was very central and great for walking and wandering the tourist shops and restaurants.

I want to use all my words as efficient as I can to keep this review short for those who need. One star goes to horrible quality (wasted, broken, must refreshed) of the bed! I knew room was tight and bathroom even tighter but multiple futures of the bathroom was out of use, fully custom made (try to made) tiny bathroom was a pain but even bigger pain was the response from the receptionists. They were so unpleasant to intake the problem and absolute zero solution to change the bed. I didn’t even mention all other problems in the room that needs help but bed! I had to stay for three nights but it hurts even more to see people behind that small reception letting you know administration of the establishment do not care. I told them about the problems in the room three times and added that be ready for a very sad but true review. I do not recommend Galatahan.

Friendly Staff!

Check in was easy and the location is great! Shower door in our room didn’t really close and the first night the AC went out, however; that issues was quickly resolved. The breakfast was a pretty great way to start off day, which getting anywhere from here was very easy due to the close public transportation. I’d recommend the hotel if you don’t mind some minor issues.

Amazing affordable hotel in the best area

Would definitely recommend this hotel if staying in Istanbul The value for money here is insane - for such an affordable hotel, the rooms were clean, modern, spacious, great mirrors & lighting, many plug sockets & storage options. Fresh water bottles are brought to your room everyday too Breakfast is included which was great The location was our favourite thing for sure though - just below the Galata Tower, the street has some beautiful buildings and cafes as you walk down. Just a stones throw is the beautiful main cobbled walkway down from the tower which has so many food options too The main road could be noisy but honestly once the windows were closed we had no trouble sleeping at all, the beds were so comfy which certainly helped too! Great hotel would 100% stay again

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
