The property is located in a convenient area for shopping and site seeing. The Galata tower is within walking distance and it's also close to the cruise port.
The staff is extremely welcoming and answered our questions.

I have travelled extensively for many years and have stayed in countless hotels. I chose this hotel from an extensive list of Istanbul hotels. The reviews were all very positive and mine agreed with theirs, the cost extremely affordable,; compared to the prices in Canada and USA , an amazingly inexpensive find....a full and delicious breakfast buffet , to satisfy the most discerning person. is included with your room reservation.

We stayed six nights for a holiday trip. It was perfectly located close to Galata tower and connection to all other parts.
The room was nice but not perfect. The beds were ok but too worn. Bath was nice and clean but leaking water to the floor under the beds.
Breakfast was standard.
Good for the price

We hade a nice stay at galatanhotel for 7 night.
The room was perfect for two people with a view on Suleymane Mosque and Ristem Pasha Mosque (Fatih area). The staff was very friendly.
The hotel is near to the tram T1 and the metro M2. If we travel again to Istanbul we’ll book it without hestitation.
