Galata Dream Hotel

Pros: Everything was exceptional and a special thanks to Mr. Ozan and his brother. They are very kind and gentleman.

Pros: Location was wonderful. Pleasant stay at this hotel

Good budget hotel.

Pros: It was less than five minutes walk to the metro. The rooms were just big enough for two people. They had a fridge, kettle, a table and chairs and, curiously, a kitchen bench with cabinets and sink but no cooking facilities. The Turkish breakfast was not fantastic, but quite adequate. Staff were cheerful and tried hard to make sure we had everything we needed.

Cons: It’s a small budget hotel and there is no wow factor. It is on a very busy road and there is no escaping the sound of the traffic, but on the third floor it became more of a constant background noise, not enough to disturb sleep. The bathroom was exceptionally small but everything worked well in it.

Pros: The hotel was small, cozy, with an excellent location and friendly staff. The location is exactly what will meet your expectations 100% — everything is within walking distance, whether it’s the historical center, Galata Tower, Karaköy, or Istiklal Street. You can reach everything on foot without using public transport. If you want to go to the Asian side, the ferry stop is also nearby. The staff is very kind and will fulfill everything you ask for or wish. The rooms were clean and well-equipped — everything you might need was there. The cleanliness of the hotel and rooms was just right, making the stay very comfortable. As for street noise, you can’t really avoid it in hotels located on main roads, as the traffic in Istanbul is quite busy and constant — but it’s nothing terrible that would discourage you from staying here.

Cons: Breakfast could be a bit better. It’s not the typical Turkish resort-style buffet, but rather a plated breakfast with cold cuts, bread, pastries, and scrambled eggs. If you’d like more scrambled eggs, just ask — the staff will happily bring you some.

Great value for money and truly kind staff

Pros: We had to book Galata Hotel last minute after our original hotel was cancelled, and it turned out to be a really pleasant surprise. The staff were incredibly kind, caring and helpful - they really went out of their way to make us comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of food and excellent Turkish coffee. The room was small but clean and cosy, and the service was definitely above expectations for a 2-star hotel.

Cons: The hotel is very close to a busy street, so it can be a bit noisy at night.

Pleasant.

Pros: The host and the staff were very helpful, the location was near a lot of tourist sites. Samet especially helped us out very generously and kindly during checkout in the middle of the night.
