My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Hotels, Galata in Istanbul, Turkey! This hotel not only has a perfect location and great facilities — being close to all the historic sites and entertainment — but also an absolutely outstanding team of people who made our stay truly unforgettable. We would like to sincerely thank and recognize the exceptional team members who made a real difference for us during our stay: Kevser organized a perfect room with a stunning sea view. My wife who's an artist was super excited and used that opportunity to draw the city and sea view. Emin showed incredible care and kindness when my wife wasn’t feeling well — brewing her a soothing tea and making sure she felt comfortable. Eren was always in touch with us, helping to manage every single request we had — literally 24/7! He told me I can contact him any time we needed, which was super nice and kind. Emre helped us move our luggage in the middle of the night without a single complaint, brought us extra tea whenever we needed it, and even arranged a great discount for our airport transfer upon checkout. The most energetic and ready to help guy - truly impressive. Hatice, the lovely housekeeping lady, who was patient, kind, and attentive — especially when assisting my pregnant wife. Sumeyye Beyza, always provided perfect service and prepared our beverages with such attention and care. She made every breakfast and evening feel cozy and welcoming. Sinanguided us through all the spa options, explained everything clearly, and helped us organize an amazing spa experience. Ugur assisted us on several occasions — helping with luggage, sharing advice on nearby restaurants, and always offering a friendly word when we passed by the lobby. We were genuinely impressed by the incredible atmosphere the staff created — always positive, friendly, and full of genuine care. It felt like every person we met was sincerely happy to help us

    We chose this apartment because of its amazing price. Despite being quite affordable, the location was very convenient for us, with the downtown area easily accessible by foot or by bus. The apartment met our expectations - simple but sufficient for our needs. If you're looking for a budget-friendly option close to the city, this is a solid pick.

    Location is perfect, a 10-15 min walk to Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, the Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, a 30 min walk to the Grand Bazaar. Lots of great and affordable restaurants around, lots of markets for food and drinks or souvenirs (they are a lot cheaper here than at the bazaar btw). Easy to get a taxi if you need it. Good Turkish breakfast was included.
