Top Galata Tower Hotel Reviews

The Bank Hotel Istanbul, a Member of Design Hotels - Special Class

8/10 Good

"The hotel is beautiful and well located with various nice restaurants in the neighborhood . Everything was ok except the small elevator the hotel has. Not enough to serve the people staying at the hotel and the people who came to the rooftop bar which has a great view of the city. We spent 20 minutes trying to go down from our floor to the lobby because the elevator only fits 3 people inside and it was full of people already coming from the lobby to the roof top so we could not get in. We almost lost an appointment we had because of this. The hotel should try to fix this problem. Apart from this issue everything was great."

Galata Rasso Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay! The staff was helpful and showed us some local restaurants and always available if we had questions."

The Marmara Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"Property was wonderful . Pool was awesome ."

Nabu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property is well located to both the Tram 1 and the cruise port for those beginning or ending their cruise travels. Transportation to the airport was available (at a cost) but made arriving for an early flight less stressful. Reception is available 24 hrs a day. Breakfast is European style, but nice that it is available. Restaurants and bars are plentiful and within easy walking distance. Noise from nearby clubs/restaurants can be heard but we were able to sleep without interruption. Would stay here again, if ever in Istanbul."

Pera Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in a wonderful room at the end of a long trip. The staff were very helpful and we got into the room early which was really appreciated. The breakfast was lovely with lots of variety to choose from. I would recommend this hotel for a special stay."

The Marmara Pera

10/10 Excellent

"While a small room, the sea view was amazing and worth it. Great location 3 minute walk to iztiklal Street which is an amazing sight and shopping area. The rooftop pool while small as well was great in the heat and rooftop bar provided great views and photos. Would stay here again.."
