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

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.
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.
