We had a wonderful stay at The Galata Hotel Istanbul and left with memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. The location was ideal for us. We spent our days exploring Istanbul on foot and by ferry, and the hotel was perfectly situated for both. The staff were consistently welcoming, professional, and helpful throughout our visit, making us feel genuinely well looked after. What made this hotel truly special for us, however, was the upgrade and the terrace of the Galata Suite. The view over the city was absolutely beautiful, especially at night. During our stay, I actually proposed to my fiancée there, and I honestly could not have imagined a more perfect setting. Looking out over Galata Tower and Istanbul's skyline, with the lights of the city around us, made the moment unforgettable. Because of that, this hotel will always hold a very special place in our hearts. Whenever we think about our trip to Istanbul, The Galata Hotel will be one of the first things that comes to mind. Thank you to the entire team for such a memorable stay. We hope to return one day and relive some of those wonderful memories.

Our stay at The Galata Hotel Istanbul - MGallery Collection exceeded all our expectations and was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip. A special thank you to Mr Ulas OMAY and Mr Murat DEMIR, who went above and beyond to ensure my family had a perfect stay. As an Accor ALL Platinum member, I truly felt valued. Ulas and Murat fully embrace the Accor ALL values and demonstrated a sincere appreciation for loyal guests. Thoughtful gestures made our stay truly memorable and were greatly appreciated. Thank you to the entire team for an exceptional experience. I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul!
Absolutely recommended We held our group retreat at this hotel, and the contact started months in advance – above all with Mr Başar Bey. From the very first moment: friendly, attentive and thoroughly professional. The preparation beforehand was a top-class effort, exactly how you'd hope it would be. The check-in was fantastic, with a warm welcome for our whole group – a really lovely arrival. The rooms were beautiful, luxurious and spotlessly clean. The location is unbeatable: right in the centre, next to the Galata Tower and the Galata Bridge, by the harbour with the ferries. Restaurants and everything else are all within walking distance. The hotel was ideal for our conference too: the meeting room was fantastic for our purposes, and the catering in the room left nothing to be desired. For smaller groups – there were eight of us – I can highly recommend it, a true retreat and an oasis in the middle of the city. A special highlight is the historic hamam – a real blessing to have something like that on site, genuinely impressive. We made good use of it, along with the gym and the fitness facilities – everyone in our group found something for them. And on the upper floor there's a bar with a view over the Istanbul skyline – phenomenal. Breakfast was excellent – a wonderful selection of Turkish specialities, from the classic morning soups to many kinds of olives, fruit and anything else you could wish for. Even the lunches we booked as part of our conference felt like a three-course meal with dessert. I'll be back – next time with my family.
It was a lovely hotel with great breakfast and the wait staff - Turan and Nurettin were so helpful and lovely. The room was well appointed and we chose a larger room for our needs. It was very comfortable and walking distance to every thing. Tram was close too to get around. So location was great. The staff at reception were always very helpful. I would recommend a stay here.
We had a fantastic stay at this hotel and would definitely recommend it. The room was excellent, very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed the beautiful view. The location is a huge advantage – very central, with many of Istanbul’s main attractions, restaurants, cafés, and ferry connections within walking distance. What really stood out was the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Shahribanu and her team were exceptionally welcoming, professional, and always ready to help, making us feel very comfortable throughout our stay. Regarding breakfast: it is absolutely fine and you can definitely have it at the hotel, but since there are so many amazing breakfast spots nearby, we would probably recommend exploring local cafés outside as well. Overall, everything was really top – great hotel, great atmosphere, and a perfect base for exploring Istanbul. We would happily stay here again! ⭐️
