Pros:

The location was perfect and the room was just big enough for a 5 day stay. The amenities were just fine and we really appreciated that we could do laundry. The reception was open 24 hours which was really helpful We would definitely stay there again! We loved that it was so quiet even though the hotel is in the middle of Galata.

Cons:

There were a few inconsistencies with the description for example there was no bath tub in our bathroom. Also it was nice to have a sauna and spa connected to the hotel but the entrance price was the most expensive I had ever seen my whole life. Otherwise no complaints at all the hotel is wonderful!

Overall very comfortable stay
Pros:

The rooms were exactly as described, and everything worked perfectly. The location was excellent and very convenient. The sauna, which was included in the price, was a fantastic bonus and truly enjoyable. Additionally, the staff kindly arranged our airport transfer, which made our stay even more convenient and stress-free.

Cons:

The views from the room windows weren’t particularly impressive.

Excellent place highly recommended wonderful staff and I would definitely stay here again
Pros:

The location was absolutely perfect/ walkable to explore Istanbul. Even close enough to the ferry to cross the river. Surrounded by the vibrancy of the Galata tower and beautiful balcony views. The connecting room was a blessing and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Cons:

The area is steep so you need proper walking shoes and should be mindful of the road and traffic when leaving the building.

Pros:

Удачно расположен, рядом все есть, остановка, магазины кафе. Номер чистый, постельное отличное. Вода горячая была, кондиционер работал на тепло(мы были в феврале). Воду пополняют, номер убирают. С заселением проблем не было. Все отлично!

Pros:

Die Lage von der Unterkunft wsr super man konnte direkt über all hin man hat zu fuß sehr viel erreichen können innerhalb von paar metern war man direkt vor Galata

Cons:

Ich weiß nicht wo ich anfangen soll, die Hotelzimmer an sich sind groß und reicht vollkommen aus wenn man dort nur Übernachten möchte.. aber von einer hygienischen umgebung kann man hier absolut nicht sprechen, ein einziges Personal was ein Hotel sauber macht. Dazu möchte ich beifügen dass die hygienie einfach komplett verschlampt wurde, wenn man bis 10:00 Uhr nicht aus dem Zimmer war wurde an dem Tag das Zimmer nicht mehr gereinigt, gestaubt gesaugt wurde kein einziges mal obwohl man drauf bestanden hat, es lag ein benutztes Kondom unser ganze Aufenthalt über an der selben stelle obwohl man ja dort eigentlich „ gereinigt „ hat . Flecken an der wand angespritzte flecken . Popel geschmiere an der Bettkante . Das Badezimmer die Stehdusche MIT schimmel rost flecken wir sind zum Markt gegangen und haben uns eigenes Mittel gekauft um den Dreck zu bereinigen !!! Fazit: Hygiene -100 Lage: 5 Sterne .

Un hotel funcional, práctico y bien ubicado
Pros:

El Royal Galata Hotel es un alojamiento muy correcto para una estancia en Estambul. Tiene todo lo necesario para estar cómodo y su ubicación es excelente, prácticamente al lado de la Torre de Gálata, lo que lo convierte en una muy buena base para moverse a pie por la zona.

La habitación cumplía con lo esperado y el hotel en general es funcional y práctico.

El personal fue muy atento y correcto en todo momento, siempre dispuesto a ayudar y facilitar la estancia. En conjunto, es una opción recomendable por ubicación y relación calidad-precio.

Cons:

Como pequeño punto a mejorar, destacaría la limpieza, que aunque era correcta, podría cuidarse un poco más en algunos detalles.
