Walton Hotels Galata

Hotel is conveniently located for exploring Istanbul. Easy access to all major tourist attractions. In the vicinity of Galata tower in a very vibrant area with lots of restaurants , bars shops. Few minutes walk to Istiklal . Short walking distance to Galata bridge, piers of Hasimpasha or Karakoy thus for ferry transport which we would recommend as favorable mean of transport for exploring wider Istanbul. Great hospitality approach starting from reception and particularly from owner Zejnep who really paid attention on our needs during our stay. Rooftop restaurant where good breakfast is served is additional plus to overall impression. Rooms spacious clean and comfortable.

The best thing is the staff. From reception team 24hrs available to the owner Zeynep. Everyone since the arrival wants to make sure you feel welcomed. Also the super nice lady of the breakfast service! The location is amazing, next to Galata Tower. The room facilities are super! Best hair dryer I ever had in a hotel hahaha They also give you a transport card to use during the stay and a free welcome cocktail!

The hotel met our expectations at all levels. The location is perfect. A five minute walk from the Galata Tower. Another 10 minutes from Istiklal, and 10 minutes from the tram station to Sultanahmet. We even walked from Galata Port at night and it was just about 15 minutes away. The area is safe and we never felt uncomfortable walking around even during nighttime. The hotel is very nice and exactly as shown on the pictures. The top floor with glass roof and windows where breakfast and meals are served is ideal. You can see the Galata tower while enjoying a cup of coffee... The staff is the best. Especially the receptionists who were extremely helpful at all times and helped us with directions, reservations for restaurants and other activities. We are so grateful to the three of them. A special thanks to the hotel owner, Zeynep, who contacted us on the day of our arrival to ensure that everything was fine. She was very nice and, every morning, welcomed us with a large smile at the restaurant for breakfast. The areas is very quiet at night.

The owner, Zeynep, was the perfect hostess, greeting us each morning in the rooftop terrace, where a delicious and plentiful breakfast was served. The entire staff was friendly, helpful, and made sure our stay was enjoyable. Our room was nicely appointed and spacious. The location is quite central and the area is walkable, with restaurants, shops and Galata Tower nearby. Any time we had the slightest need, we got kind assistance. We felt we couldn't have found a better choice for a comfortable stay in Istanbul.

We (3 couples) stayed at this hotel for 4 nights from Sept 23 to 27. This hotel is very close to Galata Tower and with 10 mins of nearest tram station. The old city where major attractions such as Sultanahmet Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace are located are within 10 mins of the nearest tram station. The breakfast was served on the rooftop restaurant and bar which also has a very nice view of the Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque especially during the night. The rooms are quite large with a very nice bathroom. The owner, Zeynep was really nice as she helped serve the breakfast and helped with everything from Transit card, mini Wifi modem to take along and recommending the attractions to see. She was very friendly and genuinely interested to help. Other staff at the hotel including Salim were also great. The hotel has a very small lobby area but it didn’t bother us at all. The closeness to major attractions, the Bosphorus river, nice rooms and friendly staff would make us recommend this hotel.
