Great hotel and great hospitality with a impeccable location. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, especially when booking excursions. We travelled with children and they made me and my family feel at home. I will definitely be returning as we had a flawless stay!

“Absolutely loved our stay. Location is perfect. The staff were amazing, so friendly, helpful. Couldn’t do enough to make”

Great location. Small boutique feel. Oasis to come back to after being out. Amazing staff. Great cafe attached to hotel.

An amazing location, right in the heart of the Galata area. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly.

“My stay was excellent and would definitely recommend friends to stay there.”

The staff, especially Morad and Esmile, were very friendly, helpful and accommodating in assisting with restaurant reservations, recommending sites to visit, providing travel tips, and organizing transport to the airport. The rooms are very commfortable and spacious. They were very considerate in providing a small room for resting fter checkout considering we were not scheduled to go tot he airport until just after midnight.

“Amazing stay! No downsides :)”

“A true gem in Istanbul - perfect location, perfect hosting and a perfect immersion in the city”

This is a very special property right next to the Galata Tower, perfectly positioned to experience the wonders of Istanbul. This hotel has only 15 rooms and it feels like staying with a very well connected hospitable family - they know all the restaurants (Murat the manager's wife is a very well versed on the very best culinary highlights of the city - and nothing is to much trouble). The small cafe that sits over the street has superb La Marzocco and authentic Turkish coffee and is the perfect place to watch the world go by. It's rare that a hotel has a genuinely cool cafe - staff here are kind, cultured, interest and very Istanbul cool - the San Sebastian cheesecake, pastries and morning stuffed simit (Turkish bagel but better!). Rooms are beautifully appointed, excellent linens, fluffy towels and excellent daily housekeeping services too. Tea, nuts and fruits welcome you and at night the hotel is sublimely quiet. As anywhere in the city, you will hear the muezzin call to prayer but this is a magical later of life in Istanbul. The hotel also organised a brilliant guide for us to explore the main UNESCO sights. The perks of such a great location is that we were just around the corner from the divine Museum of Innocence, galleries, second hand stores and wonderful cafes and restaurants - and we could not get lost as the tower can be seen from anywhere in the city. The hotel is terrific but what makes World Galata is the team, the depth of service, understanding of true hospitality and going the extra mile. We saw all the fancy expensive hotels (and even had a drink at the Four Seasons) and it has nothing on the feeling of staying in the wonderful area of Galata.

“A hidden gem”

Loved the location, great spot, very close to Galata tower, lovely restaurants and shopping. Their own coffee shop with 50% discount on all food and drinks was a great place to relax and people watch. Food was great. Staff couldn't have been more lovely or helpful. Rooms had beautiful decor, very comfortable beds, were spotlessly clean and little extra touches to make it a place I'd definitely recommend and come to again.

“Central Istanbul location”

Staff so friendly and helpful. Great location.

“Really enjoyed our stay, the staff were so friendly and attentive and the hotel itself is beautiful”

- All staff were extremely friendly and attentive - The inclusions such as the mini bar, cafe are big added bonuses - Rooms were lovely - Clean facilities

Hotel was in a great location. Room was very clean and comfy. We were in room 401 and the balcony was lovely with a view of Galata and wider istanbul. Fridge with complimentary drinks and snacks was a nice touch. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I would really recommend. thanks for a great stay and my birthday cheesecake :)

Great location. Very comfortable. Helpful staff.Lovely coffee shop on site too.

“Lovely, clean, perfectly located with exceptional staff”

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The hotel itself is beautiful, with a perfect location that made everything so easy to explore. It was exceptionally clean, and there is a café within the hotel that is open to both guests and the general public, offering a great selection of coffee, tea and pastries, all of which are delicious. What truly made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. They were incredibly attentive and kind, always going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They genuinely made our stay so much better. I would come back a thousand times. Highly recommended!

“A perfect homely base for a first time trip to Istanbul.”
