Description

Port Galata Suites offers four comfortable apartments in Istanbul, featuring room types such as Superior Triple, Standard Studio, Superior Studio, and Deluxe Studio. Built with convenience in mind, the property provides non-smoking rooms, a terrace, lift access, and luggage storage. Despite the modest 3-star rating, guests appreciate the excellent price-performance ratio and central location. The apartments are located close to the city center and just 500 meters from the Şişhane metro station, facilitating easy exploration of Istanbul. However, some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and room size discrepancies. Pets are not allowed, and the hotel requires guests to be at least 18 years old at check-in. Breakfast is available but may incur an additional fee.

Location

The hotel is situated in the Beyoglu district, at Kemankeş Karamustafa Paşa, Akçe Sk. No: 4. It lies approximately 2 km from Istanbul’s city center and 500 meters from the Şişhane metro station, making public transport access straightforward. The new Istanbul airport is around 33 km away, while Ataturk Airport is 14 km from the property. Nearby points of interest include the Saint John Turkish Orthodox Church, just 45 meters away, and the Surp Pirgiç Catholic Church at 228 meters. For dining, you’ll find the highly rated Café Pandan Karaköy only 66 meters from the hotel, and Georges Hotel Galata’s rooftop restaurant 319 meters away, offering views of the Golden Horn.

Tips

  • If you are sensitive to noise, request a room away from street-facing windows due to reported loudness at night.

Price is good. Location is perfect, the most central you can ask for. However, due to that quite loud at night as well

Towels were dirty (literally dirty; but, to be fair, not all of them). Cups were dirty. No parking. No sunlight in the room

Everything was wonderful. We are two young ladies who spent nine nights here alone, and we have absolutely no complaints. For this price, you shouldn't expect a five-star hotel. The price-performance ratio is excellent. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, you shouldn't expect five-star amenities either. The location is wonderful, extremely central, and there's always a lot going on here. The hotel management is very accommodating and tries to fulfill your wishes. I will definitely come back here again.

Misleading and utterly disappointing

I booked this hotel because the description stated a room of 42 m². However, I was given a tiny room, no more than 15 m². Furthermore, the air conditioning didn't work, making the stay unbearable in the sweltering heat.

The pictures on Booking.com bear absolutely no resemblance to reality. It feels like a scam. The owner was extremely unfriendly, and when I complained about the inaccurate information, he became aggressive.

I left the hotel immediately and found alternative accommodation. I've been booking through Booking.com for years and have never had such problems before. It's incomprehensible how such a guesthouse can continue to be offered on this platform.

In short: I strongly advise everyone to avoid this hotel.

The rooms are filthy and its super loud if you here on a weekend forget sleep. Used towel was still hanging almost no toilet paper and everything is sticky.

It is a perfect structure that will befit and serve Istanbul for many years, which does not cover the new modern and historical silhouette of my country opening to the seas. Looking in the direction of Üsküdar from the coastline, when you turn to the port direction after inhaling the deep, peaceful richness in the fast flowing blue of the Bosphorus, the modern structural image almost disappears and a deeply spacious image creates an unforgettable moment with the works of our ancient history.
A perfect engineering combination. When you park on the negative levels and get out of your car, it creates the feeling of floating in the sea with the porta diver.
It is a place where you can always visit with pleasure and peace, and it is a rare place where you will feel that you are never tired and filled with energy when you return home with peace of mind.
I would like to thank everyone who contributed.

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💖💖

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

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.

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.
