Nice location, all tourist attractions are walkable distance.

Very good near everything..

The room was quite clean, but a bit small. The layout wasn't perfectly designed, but it didn't hinder getting to places at all. It's not in a very noisy tourist area. Walking to Galata and the nearby old town was very convenient. Breakfast could be described as small but lovely.

Stayed for 2 nights, it's very close to Terminal 1. The room was clean, and having an elevator made going up and down very convenient.

As I am travelling in the summer, I was looking for good air conditioning and quiet rooms in Istanbul as I had seen some bad reviews with other hotels. Burdock however has very good air conditioning and when windows are closed, the room is very quiet.
Breakfast was good too. Good atmosphere and not crowded.
27.10.2024 Guest
We have a wonderful time and the staff are just beautiful people.
We had the pleasure of meeting the GM.
He came and gave us complimentary breakfasts and some wonderful cakes as we were in Istanbul to celebrate our birthday.
Our surname is Burdock so we natural wanted to stay at a hotel of the same name. We will tell our family that the hospitality and care shown ti us was unrivalled.

Great location and easy to get around by tram (T1).
Nearby hotel, you can walk to several well known sites. Great breakfast selections and care for special dietary guests. Room was fine but don’t know why towels are not so white. Room was fine but not the mouthwash. Need provide more water.

Great boutique hotel near Galata Tower. Much better staying here than in old town which is a huge tourist trap. Amazing pool and service from the staff. Wish I had more time to try the hamman. Good sized rooms, but found the bathroom and open sink layout somewhat awkward. Don’t buy the travelcard at the hotel (followed another traveller’s advice); you can just tap in using a credit card at most pub transport stations.

Very good location, the highlight was the Burdock spa and the gym. The spa has a turkish hamam (you need to pay for it) but the sauna + steam room + cold shower + rest room was free. The room we stayed in was cozy and clean.

The location of the Hotel was brilliant. Just to my planning it was just in the middle of the spot where I had to visit. Also the managers in the lobby are super kind and they listen to whatever needs you have. I wish to visit here again if I have an opportunity to visit Istanbul again.

Lovely cafe. Sweet old lady who spoke little English but was very helpful and served us a delicious breakfast.
03.12.2025 Habiba
I went for the cafe, never knew there was a hotel or smth. Anyway, the breakfast was delicious and not overpriced, the Bazlama was juicy and not too heavy for a breakfast. The Meneman and the fries were just so right but i ordered a Flat White but they got me a Cappuccino! They were so lovely though and i enjoyed it💖💖
07.09.2025 Isabel
My husband and I are currently visiting Istanbul and stumbled across this lovely cafe within a 2 minute walk of our hotel. We both got the cheese omelet and it was so delicious!! Very reasonably priced at around 800 Turkish lira for the both of us. Everything even down to the honey and the butter were so fresh and tasted great. Definitely recommend for a quick bite in the morning
26.06.2025 Jill
We’ve been in Istanbul for five days. This was the best breakfast—authentic Turkish breakfast recommended by a local. It’s on a super cute street under a canopy of umbrellas. We highly recommend!

Very loud on weekends, hard to sleep because of the music from bars around. Room is nice but they barely clean the rooms when you request it. Location is convenient if you don’t worry about the noise on weekends.

Fantastic boutique hotel in excellent location for shopping, bookstores, cafe society! Very French, in charm and hospitality and cuisine. Charming boutique hotel Close to Galeta Tower but on a quiet cobbled side street with antique shops & cafes. Lovely rooftop restaurant, perfect for breakfast or dinner or coffee with sweeping view of Golden Horn. Staff is very welcoming and helpful (I didn’t understand the shower!) (the came right up and showed me!) Our room was very comfortable & quiet.

A nice boutique hotel. We have had amazing experiences in the previous times I had been there with my wife. However the last time would probably be the last time because the pricing is just absurd. It is the inflation that is the biggest problem, but George Hotel milked this situation for every Cent or Lira in this case. The service is still impeccable, the rooms have so little privacy even with my partner it feels awkward at times, everything is within walking distance which is great, however, I don't think it is worth the price anymore... Value for money is just not there no matter how good of a service they have, the hotel feels worn out a bit, stiched together in places. I still love it, had the best memories years ago. But my last visit a couple of weeks still stings. In all fairness, if all you care about is service and accessibility to everything and price is not an issue nor is privacy. This hotel is for you. Otherwise you are better off somewhere else

My wife and I have spent wonderful time in Georges Hotel. The place is chic and beautiful, the service is very welcoming and helpful. The top terrasse restaurant view and food quality make it difficult to go elsewhere for dining. We've been blessed to discover that hotel. It's location make it so convenient to walk around the city historic neighbouroug and beyond.
15.11.2025 Peter
Location is absolutely amazing, but we were lied about the room as we reserved a sea view with balcony but have received a “garden” view which smells like cat piss when you open the balcony. They said they have received a different type of reservation by the service provider and were showing a flying paper with a room code which responds to a normal room, which means nothing to us.

The rooms have molded floors around the bathroom, smell like mold and the view is non existent.

Bathroom ceilings are molded and when you take a shower the whole bathroom area has couple of centimeters of water. The shower was broken as well.

The beds are on the lower side of the comfort as well and the room isolation is like a cardboard.

Absolutely an awful experience and would not recommend despite the good location. I am leaving pictures so anyone can be a judge (can’t leave the scent unfortunately). It’s a 3 star hotel at the absolute most and don’t know how they got 4… maybe few years ago, but now everything is run down.

The manager Georges repeats 10 times how everything can be arranged and have a nice experience, but actually takes no action at all.

The staff tries to be nice and helpful but does nothing as well, probably because of management.

Note:
As a reply to the comment below, since its not possible to respond. We are free to do what we like stay or not, comment or not. Despite the wrong reservation, i left photos which has nothing to do with the reservation but just showing the real image of the hotel. So everyone can be a judge.

Really lovely boutique hotel in the heart of Galata!

I stayed at Georges Hotel Galata for five nights and had a great experience. The location is perfect: steps from Galata Tower and all the energy of Beyoğlu, with Karaköy's waterfront just down the hill.

The rooms have beautiful high ceilings that make the space feel elegant and airy. The showers are wonderful, and I loved the thick towels and sheets (plus there's a heated towel warmer, which is a nice touch). PRO TIP: ask for a room on the garden side if you can. The neighbourhood is lively and bustling, but the garden-facing rooms are surprisingly quiet.

What really stood out was the service. The concierge staff are genuinely kind and helpful, not just going through the motions. They made reservations at local restaurants for us and gave great recommendations. When I had a plumbing issue in my room, the manager Mr. Serkan personally checked on it multiple times and made sure everything was handled professionally. That level of attention makes a real difference.

Oh, and there's a charming resident cat named Lollipop who adds personality to the place

The rooftop bar has spectacular views and excellent cocktails. If you're looking for boutique luxury with personal service in the Galata area, I'd definitely recommend Georges Hotel.
