I stayed at Galata Times for 3 nights with my husband and we had a terrific stay! The room is not so spacious; but its’s clean and equipped with useful amenities. The hotel is one street next to Galata Tower, and situated next to a sunset watching spot. Although it has crowd coming by outside, the room is well soundproofed with blackout curtains. So we had great sleep. Breakfast is delicious and well-prepared. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

The location was the best, love the terrace and the view of the gala tower and the city. The staff was super attentive and nice. Breakfast was delicious and great variety. However, no noise insulation in the room thus you could hear the next room and when they used the bathroom as well. The room chosen was ok but smaller than expected.

Excellent hotel - clean, comfortable, views!

Excellent stay! The room was clean, surprisingly quiet given you’re in the middle of a huge city, and very comfortable. The location is excellent. The property is very nice and the breakfast is delicious, along with one of the best views in Istanbul!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel — everything was perfect! The service was excellent, the room was spotless and very comfortable, and the location couldn’t be better. It’s right in the center, surrounded by great restaurants and cafes, and just a short walk from the Galata Tower — such an amazing area to explore! The front desk staff were fantastic — super friendly and helpful. They even helped me arrange my shuttle to the airport and were always very attentive. I totally recommend this hotel 100%! I’d definitely stay here again on my next trip to Istanbul.
