Walton Hotels Galata

Very convenient location on a quiet street. The bed was moderately soft, and the bedding was very pleasant, which is important to me. The staff was very attentive and found a room that met all my preferences, with a view of the Galata Tower from the window. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is the top floor, as you can hear noise from the furniture on the terrace. The breakfasts were delicious and homemade, and enough for us. I will definitely be back! 🫶🏻

Pros: The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke excellent English. The room felt very cozy and home-like, with a comfortable bed and pillows. It was a really pleasant stay. There's a wonderful view from the hotel's rooftop overlooking the other side of the Bosphorus, mosques, and the Galata Tower. Cons: The hotel is located in a narrow alley, which unfortunately comes with several drawbacks. For instance, the view from the room was directly onto the windows of the building across the street. Due to the hotel's inconvenient location, a taxi couldn't drop us off at the entrance one night because neighboring alleys were blocked by large minibusses. We had to lug our suitcases to the hotel on foot from a nearby alley. During the day, upon returning to the hotel, we encountered a similar situation: there were always minibusses parked nearby, unloading goods. The result? Taxis still couldn't reach the entrance! We had to walk uphill with our suitcases in the heat to the nearest metro station (a 10-minute walk). Verdict: The hotel itself is excellent, but if you have large suitcases and plan to travel by taxi, the location is extremely inconvenient. However, for those traveling light and planning to use the metro, the hotel is suitable. The nearest metro station is Sishane, and the journey to the airport from this station (with one transfer) took an hour.

Absolutely loved everything! We stayed on the 2nd floor; it was quiet even with neighbors. The air conditioning worked well, and the room had a kettle, tea, coffee, and a TV. It's right next to the Sishane metro station, and breakfast offers views of the Galata Tower, which is also within walking distance. Karakoy Pier and the tram stop to Sultanahmet are nearby. I highly recommend it. The room was a good size! The only thing is the lighting in the room is a bit dim (cozy ambiance), if that's important to anyone.

I really liked the hotel. It's very close to the Galata Tower, but tucked away on a side street, so it was quiet and comfortable for sleeping at night. The room was spacious, the bed was comfy, and the linens and towels were lovely. There's a coffee machine with pods and two bottles of water. You can tell they pay attention to the little details, which is much appreciated. We also received a nice complimentary cocktail and nuts (see photo). Breakfast is served on the terrace with views of the tower and the Bosphorus. For breakfast, they bring out a selection of appetizers, and then you order hot dishes like various egg preparations and sausages from a menu. We had a very satisfying meal. The best part, though, was being wished a happy birthday – it was wonderful!

The room was cozy and spacious. They change towels upon request, and while breakfast was a bit repetitive, it was enough for us. They even offer a welcome cocktail. It can get a little noisy in the evenings, but that's expected given its proximity to the Galata Tower.

Excellent hotel. The breakfasts were magnificent. However, it could have been cleaner.
