Georges Hotel Galata

Location: Situated right around the Galata Tower (2 min walk), Georges Hotel Galata is steps away from numerous cafes, stores, and restaurants. It's on a cobble stone street with many interesting vintage stores, the cat museum, and a couple convenience stores, and is relatively quiet compared to other streets in the neighborhood. Rooms: we had a garden suite and a room with balcony. It has a lot of old world charm and was designed with good taste (the owner is French Turkish). It could be a bit dark especially the garden suite, but we were outside most of the day so it didn't bother us. Staff: they have a small but attentive team. Everyone is very friendly and competent, speaks great English. Mr Yasin checked us in and was still replying to my messages late at night for various requests. They also offer homemade juice and lemonade during the day for free. The house cat lollipop was a favorite for my kids and added a sense of home. Other: not much amenities in this boutique setting other than the rooftop restaurant. We only had a drink there but the view was gorgeous and the music was great. Really liked the vibe. It's quite pricey but worth checking out.

We had an amazing stay at Georges Hotel Galata! The location is unbeatable, right by Galata Tower, on a peaceful and charming street but still close to everything. The staff were truly incredible — warm, welcoming, and always ready to help. On our last morning, even the owner came by our breakfast table just to check in on how our stay was going. That kind of personal touch really made a difference. The rooftop view is stunning (perfect for breakfast ), and the rooms were super clean, stylish, and comfortable. Honestly, one of the best hotel experiences we’ve had — felt like staying with family and friends. Huge thanks to the whole team. We’ll definitely be back!

We had the most wonderful 4 nights stay at the Georges Hotel Galata. The bedroom and the hotel in general are beautifully designed, don't miss out on the terrace for breakfast or evening drinks with a view on Istanbul old town! The location is perfect, in a quiet street just a few walks away from Galata Tower. But what makes this hotel really special is the amazing staff : everyone, from the reception, to the waiters, bartenders, the owner (not to forget Lollipop!) was absolutely lovely and super welcoming, whatever the time of the day, even for our very late check in. Special shout out to Yasin who has been incredibly helpful in finding us an excellent restaurant and arranging our check out. Will definitely stay again and recommend to everyone!
