Georges Hotel Galata - Istanbul

I had an amazing time soaking in the stunning views from the rooftop while enjoying a delicious meal. The hotel also offers a cozy lounge area and a lovely spa for some much-needed relaxation. The only downside was the high prices for food and drinks, so I’d recommend exploring local eateries instead! 🌟

The location and surrounding is very nice for city lovers. The rooms are nicely and lightly decorated. Comfortable bed and layout. Very trendy part of the city. Great city weekend alternative.

The wall insulation is poor. The lobby and enterence is not well defined. The staff is nice and polite, but give you the impression of being under stress.

The hotel is wonderful and clean, nestled in an absolutely beautiful building with outstanding view over to the Old City. The location of the venue is incredible, so close to the major sightseeing spots and nice bars and restaurants. There is Velvet Cafe nearby for a cup of coffee.

The rooftop offered fine views and a great jazz atmosphere. My room was a cozy and well-decorated sanctuary. Staff were attentive and helpful. I enjoyed delicious food options. It was a fantastic experience with easy access to local attractions 🌅

The location

Brightness in the room

Vey comfortable bed, quit rooms, tea and coffee facilities in the room, powerful WiFi. Perfect shower gel and other staff.

Place for clothes is open and just very near coffeemachine and tea pot. Please take into account: breakfat is a la carte (not buffet).

Had an amazing group vacation! The rooftop views were amazing, especially at sunset. We also enjoyed a lovely boat cruise that took us to charming fishing villages. The staff was super friendly, and the decor was on point. Just a heads up, breakfast prices are on the higher side but the food is really good!

One downside was that the bathroom had only a glass wall with shutters, which isn't great for privacy if you're not super close with your friends.

(From my Booked.nety account) Before booking this hotel, I read plenty of reviews and also noted all the negative reviews I came across and I had high expectations of this hotel since it was really costly for us Singapore travelers (cost SGD450 per night, Deluxe Sea View Room, Level 2, No. 10) - well Georges Galata definitely did live up to all my expectations! Boutique as it can be, there is no hotel relationship manager, there is no front desk, there is no buffet breakfast, there is no swimming pool... but what it did offer was a plenty. Luxurious creature comforts, free wifi, coffee machine, ipod dock etc... excellent ala carte breakfast menu which we could order anything from, anytime and anywhere (we had our bfast sometimes at our room balcony, sometimes at their lovely rooftop bar, sometimes way early at 7.00 am and sometimes late at 11.30 am!) and we could order multiples of what we liked from the menu eg: croissants. Food was good, good portion and great presentation. Great view from our balcony, lovely lovely french design and decor, lights coming from the floor and ceiling of our balcony at night. The small gestures but v nice touches like daily turn down services and chocolates, the subtle fragrance that greets you once you step into the hotel/your room etc. I am particular about cleanliness and I always judge a hotel by the type of towels that I am given, well, it was all clean, white and fluffy and the housekeeping was great, as we did not have to call housekeeping for additional things as they'd top it up if they see that we are running low on shampoo or shower foam or moisturiser etc. Lotsa complimentary coffee capsules which myself and my husband appreciated as we drink lotsa of coffee in a single day. And yes, the bed was awesome! Staff performance was excellent too, location was hard for the cabby to find and they gave directions to our cabby on the phone all the way until we reach.

Beautiful interiors and very friendly staff although they did have a difficulty with english.. The neighbourhood was very boem, artistic and colourful. the rooms very contemporary with all the amenities one could ask for. From the Nespresso machine you could complementary use down to the amazing beds t was a beautiful boutique hotel.

great stay but minor dining challenge

Yasin and Lollypop (the cat). The views from the rooftop were amazing, a perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. The Atelier Rebul bathroom amenities were a highlight, so good we wanted to bring some back with us. The nearby options for meals helped us explore local flavors.

The lack of halal dining options felt limiting at times.

Fine rooftop views await!

Every sunset from the rooftop bar felt magical, with the city's skyline painted beautifully. The staff treated us like family.

I was disappointed by the limited halal options in the restaurant. It slightly dampened our dining experience.

This hotel has been beautifully renovated, with a careful combination of contemporary and traditional fittings. The rooms are large, with lovely balconies and the rooftop terrace is a stunning place for an evening drink, watching the sun set or enjoying the lights of Istanbul. Being small, the staff know all their guests and are unfailingly attentive in that warm, friendly and generous manner that represents Turkish hospitality. The location is excellent - very close to the Galata Tower and an easy walk or tram ride across to the old city but also close to terrific boutiques if you have time for shopping! We would not hesitate to recommend Georges Hotel Galata and are looking forward to our next stay.

Besides, the location was great for our stay, within 5 minutes' walk of a contemporary art museum. Also, it was walking distance to cafes and bars. The restaurant here was top-notch at the top floor.

Our stay was good! The room was spacious with amazing views from the rooftop terrace and the local bathroom amenities were great.. Just a heads up, the rooftop was a bit crowded during peak hours.
