Wunderbarer Aufenthalt & fantastische Terrasse
Pros:

Wir hatten einen ausgezeichneten Aufenthalt im Galata Hotel. Besonders beeindruckt hat uns der wunderschöne, grüne und ruhige Innenhof – ein echter Luxus mitten in einer so lebhaften Gegend von Istanbul.
Die Schlafqualität war hervorragend. Die Matratzen und Kissen waren sehr komfortabel, sodass wir nach langen Tagen in der Stadt wunderbar schlafen konnten.
Ein besonderes Lob gilt dem Personal: Alle Mitarbeitenden waren außerordentlich freundlich, hilfsbereit und professionell. Sie haben uns sogar bei Problemen mit einem externen Taxiunternehmen unterstützt und die Situation schnell und unkompliziert gelöst.

Cons:

Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team für die herzliche Gastfreundschaft. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Teşekkür ederiz – vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt! 🌿✨. Wir vermissen die Katze trotz allergie. :-) 😀

Boutique Hotel in the prettiest street in Istanbul
Pros:

The property is located in the most beautiful street in Istanbul. We had a room with a terrace overlooking the Bosphorus and surrounding city. The room was styled properly and tastefully. The staff is very helpful and pleasant, they were always checking whether we needed any help. The restaurant is on the top floor overlooking the Bosphorus as well.

Cons:

As I mentioned to the nice gentleman who asked for feedback on anything that could be improved, the bath mat could have been longer to avoid water leaking into the floors. The shower had half glass to complement the room style and the water could reach the floor if not being careful. He told me they were very well aware of the issue but the style prevented them from making changes. I thought it was very honest and I was pleased that they already knew. Thus, this comment also highlights a big positive from the staff at the property.

Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr gut und der Blick vm Balkon auf den Bosporus einmalig, das Personal ist besonders freundlich und hilfsbereit; Frühstück auf der Terrasse ist sehr gut aber auch sehr teuer wie alles in Istanbul.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind geräumig und bequem aber bräuchten eine Renovierung; die Lichtsituation im Zimmer und im Stiegenhaus sollte besser sein.
