Guest Reviews

• IULIIA (10/5): -
• Kerri Ann (8/5): -
• Grit (9/5): Tolle Unterkunft für Reisende, die es individuell bevorzugen. - Wir mochten die Individualität und Ruhe des Hauses, die ausgesprochen große Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft und die zentrale Lage - diese ist eher gekennzeichnet von Künstlern und Handwerkern als vom Tourismus. Gastronomie, Meer, Museen alles ist zu Fuß erreichbar.
• Claire (8/5): Dans l’ensemble la prestation de l’établissement était bien, non loin des attractions touristiques et des transports en - La chambre était grande, la salle de bain était propre, le personnel était sympathique. L’emplacement était top. L’insonorisation n’était pas top. On pouvait entendre les personnes du rez de chaussé alors que nous étions au deuxième étage, et les gens du dessus.
• CHRISTINA (9/5): - Μείναμε στην προεδρική σουίτα. Η τοποθεσία ήταν άψογη, η θέα καταπληκτική, τα κρεβάτια πολύ άνετα. Κάποια έπιπλα ήταν λίγο ταλαιπωρημενα αλλα ήταν άνευ σημασίας
• Rebecca (8/5): Overall good stay. Took off two stars because the external building door does not latch and therefore is a security risk -
• Patricia (7/5): Attractive, friendly and mostly comfortable. - Location was difficult to find at first, but convenient and close to tram and interesting shops and restaurants. The room was quiet and pleasant. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was big and had a couch and comfortable bed. The 'kitchenette' was missing basic cutlery and dishes, and the bathroom was tiny.
• Lucía (10/5): Recomendado! - Nos gustó mucho alojarnos aquí! La ubicación es muy buena, la habitación es espaciosa y muy linda decorada. Descansamos super bien y disfrutamos mucho. El personal es muy amable y atento. Gracias! Nada
• giulia scam (6/5): Could have been better - Great position, really close to Galata tower. The room was really dark and with a few things broken (e.g. the mini fridge), the shower didn't have hot water, not sure if this is a widespread issue but would have been good to know in advance. Overall I don't think it lived to the expectations given the high rating on Booking.
• alexandra (9/5): - Jolie chambre spacieuse avec vue sur une cour arborée et Istanbul, calme. Quartier calme proche de la tour de Galata touristique. Proche du tramway aussi donc accès rapide à la Corne d’or. Personnel très gentil. Simple mais parfait.
• Nerea (3/5): Dirty stories - La cama era cómoda pero las sabanas y las almohadas estaban sucias. Tuvimos que pedir papel higiénico porque no habían puesto, no teníamos toallas de ducha (solamente las de lavabo), todo estaba muy sucio, los raíles de la ducha llenos de mugre, los sofás llenos de manchas, la puerta de la nevera se caía por lo que no enfriaba en absoluto, el aire acondicionado no funcionaba y aunque fuera abril quisimos encenderlo porque hacía un calor horrible en la habitación y no podíamos abrir las ventanas bien porque no se sujetaban abiertas y había gatos al lado de la ventana queriendo entrar, no había suficientes utensilios de cocina, la habitación que nos tocó está pegada a la recepción y se oye absolutamente todo, las cortinas dejaban entrar muchísima luz y la calle en la que se encuentra es de difícil acceso. No hay ningún tipo de servicio de habitaciones, nosotros solo estuvimos dos noches pero si estás una semana olvídate de que te limpien absolutamente nada...
• Mark (9/5): Great location - Lovely receptionists. Could hear the neighbours.
• Gaziza (10/5): -
• Tatiana (8/5): Emplacement très central avec vue - L’emplacement est idéal et proche de tout ce qu’on visite à Istanbul. La vue du balcon est très belle et étonnamment l’appartement est au calme malgré un quartier qui grouille de monde. Aussi la douche est petite mais la pression de l’eau est parfaite. Les chambres sont lumineuses et le parquet est très beau. La literie est très confortable! Le coin cuisine n’est pas suffisamment équipé. Il est impossible d’y cuisiner. Pas de casserole, pas de cafetière, pas de four à micro ondes, pas de petites cuillères, pas de bols ni même un seul saladier, pas assez de verres ni de tasses. Bref. C’est ok pour boire un thé mais difficile de se faire un dîner si l’envie de se reposer de la foule vous prenait.
• MYRTO (9/5): -
• ελενα (8/5): -
• Amy (8/5): Lovely stay in Galata- would stay again - The room is spacious and in a really good location- peaceful road but very central to get to various good spots and transport options. The staff were kind and let me store my bag on the day of checkout as I was only flying late. The shower pools water and needs to be unclogged or further investigated. The Wi-Fi doesn’t really work well- I had to use mobile data most of the time.
• Jan (10/5): -
• Beltran (7/5): - The location was central to everything. People were very nice and welcome. All stores and transportation was close to the location. The room was clean, but the lower floor area was open to smoke, causing our room a strong odor. The windows were closed, but I believed something was causing the smoke to enter.
• Carolina (9/5): - Located in a convenient position, close to many shops, café, and restaurants. The room was clean and cozy. The bed was comfortable enough.
• Olga (8/5): - Главное - тихая улица в центре Стамбула (!), легко добраться до всех основных достопримечательностей, уютная атмосфера, удобные кровати. Но учитывайте - это не отель с "классическим" набором услуг. Нам важнее была атмосфера и тишина и мы их получили.
• Marcione (6/5): Good location, but non great accomodation. - The staff was very nice and kind and helpful. It was smelling not great in the main room/kitchen
• Martin (4/5): Great location but very noisy and basic room - Location was good Very noisy. Our room was next to the street and the reception so we heard constant noise during the evening, night and morning
• irina (10/5): -
• Stella (9/5): Great location, super friendly staff - We had a very beautiful and traditional room in the heart of Galata district. The staff was amazing, really helpful and friendly, made us feel comfortable from the very first moment. Really worth the money, I would recommend it
• Beatriz (9/5): - Está muy céntrico y la habitación era espaciosa y cómoda
• Michał (8/5): -
• Ali (10/5): - Lage, Mitarbeiter, Flair
• Florian Funk (6/5): nettes günstige Unterkunft in Galata -
• Nikos (10/5): central location - it’s a really good location and near the property has a lot of options for food and activities. The stuff was really kind and helpful and always there when needed. I will choose it again next time. there are some spots that need to be fixed but overall it’s was a wonderful apartment.
• Rohde (8/5): -
• Svetlana (7/5): - Very central location, spacious room, unique design Everything is in a very poor condition, broken or totally absent (on my door there was no handle, it probably fell off and nobody cared to repair it). It is a pity because place itself has certain sharm. Additiinal minus for me was that somebidy smoked in my room, ashtray was left on a table.
• Samuel (8/5): -
• Kristina (10/5): - We enjoyed a lot, the room was spacious and very authentic. Great position in a quiet street close to many bars etc. The shower has strong pressure and nice hot water which is a plus. And our host Selçuk was super friendly, which made our stay even better! Wish you all the best :)
• Vladlena (10/5): - Очень хорошее местоположение квартиры. Рядом было все, что нам нужно. Классный персонал. ОЧЕНЬ СИЛЬНАЯ СЛЫШИМОСТЬ. Когда соседи сверху ходили по комнате казалось, что ходят у нас в комнате) слышно все, что происходит в коридоре. Уборка была на 5 из 10. Довольно пыльно.
• Andres (10/5): -
• Konstantinos (7/5): - Convenient location Poor WiFi, floor was trembling every time you walk
• Silvana (3/5): - Das einzigste war der Ausblick auf den Bosporus. Den Rest fanden wir sehr enttäuschend. Achtung Besitzerwechsel. Bewertungen stimmen hier betreffend Sauberkeit und Service nicht mehr überein. Zimmer (Präsidenten Suite) war teils sehr dreckig (kaum vorhandenes dreckiges Geschirr, Staub und Schmutz, sogar alte Schuhe unter dem Bett, Tabletten in Schubfächern usw.). Kaputte Möbel. Service schwer zu erreichen. Reinigung und Handtuchwechsel nur auf Aufforderung. Aufzugserviceschacht direkt im Zimmer, dementsprechend entsprechender Geräuschpegel bei Nutzung.
• Laura (8/5): -
• MELISSA (10/5): Galata Inolvidable! - Me encantó todo, las instalaciones, la ubicación y la atención! Fue un ambiente super amable, tranquilo, muy acogedor y familiar, con todo lo necesario! Tuve un problemita con la regadera y me la arreglaron inmediatamente. Cuando quise extender mi estancia, y no había cupo con ellos, me ayudaron a conseguir una habitación en otro lugar a unas cuadres y con un descuento. Me ayudaron con mi equipaje y con recomendaciones de lugares increíbles tanto como para conocer como para comer con vistas maravillosas y precios accesibles. No me gustó el no haber podido quedarme más tiempo!
• Inga (10/5): -
• Iva (9/5): Beautiful, great location - The host is super attentive and kind, the location is great and the room was big and beautiful. We were there in the winter and the heating was perfect. It's located a short walk from the Tower of Galata and near a tram station so all other parts of the city are easily accessible. They also organized a taxi from and to the airport for us. Great stay. We had a few initial problems that were sorted quickly. Other than that some things might need a bit of an update - the shower door for example. But overall great stay
• nassia (8/5): - Excellent service , there was always someone there to help, at any odd time of the day
• Jake (10/5): Perfect accommodation for long weekend! - Great location, great hosts, very clean and homely! Nothing!
• Aelita (10/5): -
• Paulina (9/5): -
• Julio (9/5): -
• ΒΑΣΙΛΗΣ (10/5): - Το προσωπικό του καταλύματος ήταν ευγενέστατο . Το κατάλυμα ήταν σε πολύ καλή τοποθεσία ήσυχη με όλα τα απαραίτητα γύρω σου Το μόνο αρνητικό που μπορώ να βρω ήταν ότι το κατάλυμα ήταν σε ανηφορίτσα τίποτα άλλο
• Maksym (9/5): -
• Maksym (9/5): -
• GHUFRAN (3/5): - المكان حلو كموقع قريب من محطة الترام وغلاطة تاور وكثير من المطاعم والبقالات الستاف حبوبين سكنا لمدة ٥ ليالي ولم تنظف الغرفة ولو لمرة واحدة الارضيات جداً مزعجة لايوجد عوازل للصوت
• Elise (10/5): - Incroyable, tout était parfait. La chambre était super confortable, bien décorée et pratique. Le lit est vraiment super confortable, quel plaisir. L’emplacement est idéal, dans le quartier Galata! Le personnel était super gentil. Vraiment rien à redire, je vous le conseille à 100% !!!
• JBAIDA (10/5): -
• Yulia (10/5): - La decoración - sencilla pero con gusto. La limpieza. La amabilidad enorme del personal, especialmente se Selcuk.
• ale_pas (9/5): - There was a misunderstanding on my side regarding the arrangement of beds, once we cleared the situation the staff was very kind and fixed for us an additional room free of charge! They were very helpful and kind
• Natallia (9/5): Хорошее жилье для ночевок с приятным персоналом и удобным местоположением - Чудесный персонал, улыбчивый, и поможет, если надо. Расположение удобное. Хорошее жилье для ночевок. Уборок в номере не проводилось. Но для нас - это все было ок (мы не любим навязчивого сервиса) , впечатление позитивное, жилье рекомендуем. Не было кухонных приборов, полотенца чистые , но их желательно уже заменить. Слишком сильный диффузор\ аромат в жилье при заселении. Датчик противопожарный постоянно пикал.
• Lucia (8/5): -
• Vytautas (6/5): Charming in theory, but disappointing in reality and not aligned with the photos or expectations. - The place has a certain charm and character, and the building itself is interesting. The room was spacious and had potential, and overall it could be a nice stay if some details were improved. The photos are misleading, as they make it look like a large hotel, when in reality it is a house located in a narrow and somewhat sketchy alley. Reaching the property requires walking up a very steep hill, which was inconvenient. The bathroom lacked even a proper mirror, so we had to use the one in the room. The bathrooms did not appear to have been cleaned recently, and the sink area inside the room was below expectations. For two guests, only one cup was provided. When we asked for glasses to celebrate New Year’s Eve with champagne, we were told they didn’t have any. It felt either unavailable or that they were unwilling to provide them.
• Neil (9/5): -
• Anastasiia (10/5): Атмосферный лофт с подушками в эркере - Интерьер, широкая удобная кровать, большой диван, много пространства, есть мини кухня (без плиты). Вид из окна вбок (видно залив), эркерный диванчик очень заценил ребёнок. Приветливый персонал. Предложили нам кофе, пока ждали такси. Помогли вынести вещи. Есть лифт (лестница довольно крутая). Улица тихая. Нам все очень понравилось, спасибо! Разве что относительно расположения: улица под наклоном, но это особенности Стамбула.
• Eden (8/5): -
• Emily (10/5): - The room was decorated so nicely. It was in a great location. But what made it so great was the staff. Unfortunately we didn’t get his name but he was there morning, noon and night. He helped us with directions, recommendations, taxis, baggage, etc. We left to go to another town for a couple days and then we were returning to Istanbul. We liked the hotel so much we cancelled our hotel for our return and rebooked with this one
• Sebastian (5/5): Enttäuscht von der Präsidentensuite - Die netten Mitarbeiter haben mir gefallen und dass es einen Aufzug gab. Außerdem ist der Weg zur Bahn akzeptabel bis gut. Die Präsidenten suite ist leider nicht so, wie man es erwarten würde. Der Abfluss hat regelmäßig stark gerochen und insgesamt fehlt im Raum einfach die Liebe. So fehlt z.B. in der Dusche die Aufhängung für den Duschkopf, Möbel sind leicht beschädigt und die Steckdosen sind dreckig. Auch habe ich Müll in einer Sitzbank gefunden. Leider war auch das Licht im Treppenhaus kaputt, die Sicherung ist einmal rausgeflogen und das bereitgestellte Kopchgeschirr ist sehr sehr dürftig und lädt definitiv nicht zum Kochen ein.
• Juul (9/5): -
• Almoayed (9/5): -
• Anna (9/5): - El personal es muy hospitalario y majo. Nuestra fue la reserva last-minute porque tuvimos que cambiarnos del hotel inicialmente reservado y nos prepararon la habitación en 1h y nos ayudado con todo. La ubicación también es muy buena, llegas a pie a todos los sitios en Beyoğlu. El baño es bastante pequeño y la cosa que debe aguantar la alcachofa de la ducha en la pared estaba rota. El resto todo bien.
• Alexander (10/5): -
• Yersultan (8/5): - good location,close to galatoport.nice staff. Good transfer there was no cleaning during our stay,but we didn't thrash around so it wasn't big of a problem
• Pedro Gruzman (7/5): -
• giovanni (10/5): -
• Alexander (10/5): -
• Aneek (8/5): Good decent hotel close to galata tower.. - Its a decent hotel, staff is helpful and spacious rooms. The hotel is located on a steep road, a bit tough to climb on foot. The room had heating issues and the bed sides where missing in one room. Toiletories could be improved.
• Ameziane (8/5): -
• Tatiana (9/5): - Очень приветливый и приятный персонал! Номер был достаточно уютный, было все необходимое - чайник, фен, холодильник. Расположен удобно Единственный минус - очень хорошая слышимость
• Vladimir (10/5): -
• Regina (10/5): -
• Denitza (10/5): -
• Matjaz (9/5): -
• askour (6/5): -
• Amra (9/5): - Die Unterkunft war sehr zufriedenstellend. Wir mochten die Lage und das Preis Leistungs Verhältnis. Die Fenster waren schlecht zu öffnen. Uns hat das nicht weiter gestört. Es ist eben ein Haus mit Geschichte.
• Diana C (8/5): - Lieliska atrašanās vieta ,netālu no Galatas torņa un Istiklal ielas. Būtu nepieciešams papildināt virtuves aprīkojumu, nav pietiekoši virtuves piederumu, trauku.
• John (8/5): -
• Francisco Javier (7/5): - Alojamiento con muy buena localización y personal muy amable y atento. No pudimos descansar bien durante la estancia porque entraba mucho ruido del exterior y desde recepción.
• Raz (10/5): The perfect stay for a beautiful city - The pictures dont do this place justice. The hosts are truly amazing, kind and genuine. The room was perfect in every possibly way, comfortable. Shower was nice and hot. Perfectly decorated, plenty of hangers and sitting space. I couldnt stay here longer.
• Julia (9/5): - The hotel owner is very friendly and pleasant, polite and always ready to help. I had a room with a view of the courtyard, it was quiet all night, only waking up at 6 am from the azan and the seagulls. You can see a bit of the Bosphorus, the tower on Çamlıca from the window. The radiator was not working, but the air conditioning and a warm blanket were more than enough. There are many restaurants in Karaköy, the tram stop and the port are also close. The shower was leaking a little, which was causing the water pressure to be low. The door lock was sticking when closing. A few minor repairs were needed, and everything would be perfect.
• Olivera (9/5): -
• Guillaume (9/5): Turquie des merveilles - Au calme dans le tumulte stambouliote. Emplacement idéal près des transports et des commerces. Les hôtes sont charmants et toujours prêts à vous aider. La suite présidentielle offre deux terrasses pour profiter de la douceur d'Istanbul. Un petit effort sur l'équipement de la cuisine serait le bienvenu mais comment ne pas profiter des délices culinaires qu'offrent les restaurants de la ville. Literie confortable.
• Lauren (10/5): Un week-end parfait pour retrouver ma famille, qui eux regrettent de ne pas avoir pris le même hôtel que moi ! - La déco, l’emplacement central, la gentillesse du personnel, ressemble aux photos
• Milligan (8/5): An intimate hotel and a great location! - The property itself is a wonderful location. We had the ground floor room, which had a beautiful patio you could sit on, which was very nice. The bedroom itself was in the basement which kept it dark and quiet. Since we were working East Coast US hours, this made the room very nice and working on the sunporch was also a bonus as a dedicated work table where two people could work. The host went above and beyond when we had issues with the Wi-Fi and the Internet speed and even went out and bought us a new router. The walls were slightly thinner and you could hear people in the lobby when you were sitting in the living room. The sun porch is not waterproof so do not leave any electronics outside, not that we did, but just as a precaution to future guest.
• Shirin (10/5): Спасибо вам большое за гостеприимство - Расположение отличное, персонал супер, всё было просто отлично понравилось всё
• Madeline (10/5): - Welcoming staff who were very accommodating when we had a late arrival. Great location and spacious rooms.
• dorangri (7/5): -
• Evdo (9/5): -
• احمد (9/5): اقدم تحياتي إلى الاخ الخدوم المحترم سلجوك - مكان لطيف هادئ جدا لا شي
• Philip (10/5): -
• Vural (3/5): - Die Lage ist nicht schlecht , es sind ca 10 Minuten zum Galata Turm. Es ist sehr bergig hoch und runter mit Familie ist anstrengend. Zu eng alles
• Oruj (9/5): - The room was quite spacious and had everything I needed — a kettle, fridge, some dishes, and even a small table, which helped me save on breakfasts outside. I really appreciated that everything inside, including the bed linen, was clean — that’s one of the most important things for me. The staff were very friendly and polite. The location is great, easy to reach the historical center and many other places. The only downside was the Wi-Fi — the internet connection was rather weak. It was fine for me since I came to explore the city, but it might be difficult for those who plan to work online.
• Max (9/5): - Super område och jättetrevlig personal. Hjälpsamma med tips osv. Rummen var stora och bekväma. Toaletten börjar kännas lite gammal, trots det var det ändå fräscht.
• Lisa Marie (5/5): Lage top - Zimmer flop - Die Lage war top und das Personal sehr nett Leider waren die Bilder der Unterkunft nicht wie angegeben. Es war nicht sehr sauber: Die Mülleimer waren nicht entleert, die Ablagen staubig und das Sofa mit Flecken. Leider es ist auch sehr hellhörig, man hört alles, was im Flur gesprochen wird und auch den Lärm von draußen - es ist, als wäre das Fenster immer offen. Dazu kann man auch die Fenster nicht richtig öffnen, sodass die Luft schlecht ist. Das Wasser war auch immer nur lauwarm.
