Location is convenient: next to the Galata Bridge (shops, restaurants and the Galata Tower on one side, all the big monuments and museums on the other side). It is a bit noisy. The rooms look great, although cleaning can be improved. One day the drainage of the shower wasn’t working, the next day there was no hot water. These are the basics of hotels, which didn’t work. The old guy at the reception said that he knew that there was no hot water, but he was probably too proud to apologize. The younger personnel was friendly and very helpful.

I had the best stay at Galata Nordstern! The room was comfortable, though it could use a little update—some fittings in the bathroom were a bit worn, like the broken toilet seat and towel bar. That said, I didn’t mind too much because everything else made up for it. I loved the lively outdoor sounds, the convenience of nearby food, and the fun walk to Galata Port and Hagia Sophia. The staff was incredible, especially when they surprised me with a delicious cake on my birthday! Breakfast was simple but fine, and the rooftop views with chai were breathtaking. Overall, a wonderful experience—I’ll definitely be back!

Overnight stay

The location and the staff were excellent. However, my upgraded room was on the 4th floor, where they were making major repairs to the flooring making very loud noise all afternoon. Most of the view from my room was blocked by a ghosted skeleton building, which was too ugly to ignore. Hopefully, both of these conditions are temporary and will not affect others.
