Fathiya Bahrain

This hotel was amazing, it had a different vibe than normal standard hotels. The rooms were really good and comfortable and the Turkish Hamam was so good. The location was great it was basically close to all the main attractions and walking distance from touristic areas. The staff were friendly especially Ufuk he was helpful and friendly throughout the stay. We would definitely come back to Istanbul and to this hotel as we had a great experience.

Hadeel United Arab Emirates

Location is perfect and is a walking distance to: Istiklal Street, Galata Tower, Karakoy area, Cihangir area, and the public transportation tram that takes to other parts of Istanbul. Room is comfortable but quite small compared to other hotels. The area around the hotel is undergoing continuous renovation and is becoming a landmark for art galleries and other entertainment. Staff are friendly and extremely helpful. Special mention to Burak and Furqan who generously extended our check out period and were very accommodating to our requests.

Han United Arab Emirates

My family and I stayed at the Galata Hotel for my mum’s 60th birthday. 1- the hotel location is just perfect, close to the tram station, to the ferry, to istiklal street 2- very clean, and the breakfast is great 3- I had previously mentioned that we were all coming to celebrate my mum’s birthday so they surprised her with cake for breakfast and balloons on her bed when she came back So thanks Galata hotel Mcgallery staff for making this family trip memorable!!
