At one end of the Galata Bridge the hotel is very well located - with easy access to modern and ancient parts of the city, and easy reach to tram (outside the front door) and ferry services. The front door was, however, rather inconspicuous. A hearty traditional breakfast was provided on the roof terrace which had a wonderful view. My room had a partial sea view of the Galata bridge and Hagia Sophia and was very quiet despite the busy location. Seyfullah and other staff were very helpful.

Stayed in Nordstern Hotel Galata in August 2025. Hotel room offered ample space, was clean, bed was comfortable, and wi-fi was reliable. Hotel is located near Galata Tower, about a 5 minute walk from hotel. This location is perfectly located near main locations, without being overly crowded. Hotel has an amazing rooftop area where breakfast is offered, after breakfast area remains accessible if you need somewhere to relax and enjoy a stunning city view. The Staff are hands down the best! Super friendly and always available for any questions or requests. Shout out to Ramajan and Nijat! If you would like recommendations to the best food or attraction spots, these fine gentlemen are more than happy to put you on to some local spots! I also booked their airport shuttle service and it is honestly so worth it. Communication on meet up location was clear and driver arrived on time, Ramajan & Nijat also made sure to follow up with me regarding my return shuttle to the airport. This was such a peace of mind. 10/10 highly recommend.
