Reviews
The location is perfect – close to everything. The apartment had two big bedrooms and was very comfortable for four girls. The staff were always helpful and friendly. They also made an early checkout for us, which we really appreciated.
Thank you!
We politely requested a refund or at least a gesture of goodwill, such as reimbursing us for the breakfast we had paid for, but the owner refused. As a result, we left before the end of our stay and had to rent another hotel room at our own expense.
To provide more details and paint a clear picture of this nightmare:
Bathroom
The sink was incredibly uncomfortable to use, and there wasn’t even a glass provided for a toothbrush.
The bathroom had black mould, and the shower barely worked. After taking a shower, water flooded everywhere.
There was no place to hang outerwear or towels, so we had to take a chair from the living room and put it in the bathroom.
Kitchen
There wasn’t even a dishwashing sponge, and the stovetop burners were stored in a cupboard, leaving nothing functional to cook with.
Bedroom
The bed was noisy and incredibly uncomfortable. You could feel the springs poking through the mattress, and it wasn’t even one big bed but two small ones awkwardly pushed together.
The pillowcases were yellowed, some even bordering on brown.
The wardrobe was positioned so close to the bed that accessing it required contortions.
The room was both cold and noisy, making it impossible to relax or sleep comfortably.
Living Room
The appliances were outdated, and the sofas were broken.
The layout was poorly designed, with two oversized sofas crammed into the space, blocking easy access to the small balcony. The balcony itself overlooked the service stairs, which felt far from safe.
General Cleanliness
The entire apartment was filthy. The sheets ranged from yellow to brown, the floor was stained, and there was visible mould in the bathroom.
These people are simply taking your money without offering even the most basic level of service. The experience was a disaster from start to finish.
Rooms are not very large, but all you need is there + small kitchen in every room which is very convenient.
The only disadvantage - they don't have included breakfast (you can only book extra breakfast for your room, they will bring it).
Staff is very helpful, prices for taxi is adorable (they can book it for you).
There is elevator.
The area is also great, minutes walk from Galataport and Istiklal Street. Right under the hotel, we found our perfect spot for great breakfast at the Lavender Café. The hotel front desk person during the morning shift was an joy and very helpful. I felt so bad we had no cash left when we checked out to give him a deserving tip. We would certainly consider coming back to this place should we find ourselves in Istanbul again.
Our room had a wonderful balcony for enjoying a morning coffee or evening tea, surveilling the quiet neighborhood and watching shops open or close for the day.
However, most notably, the service was above and beyond. We had to quickly relocate to this hotel due to a horrible experience at another hotel in the area, and they acted fast to help us get a room and get settled in for the night. Even more so, they offered recommendations and helped with reservations when we asked.
We were incredibly grateful for a nice place to stay with great service. We highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a hotel slightly off the beaten path with exceptional service.
Cafe and Restaurants near hotel
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.
It is down a steep and narrow road so my taxi from the airport had to stop about 100m away.
The front desk staff during the day and night are both very friendly and speak good English. Any requests we had were sorted quickly. They were very pleasant.
We did have some issues in the first day with the sheets and towels not being super clean. They still had some stains on them and the replacements were not much better.
The room is a bit dark, not all the lights work. But otherwise it is fairly spacious and nicely decorated. It needs new brighter light bulbs and the non working fixtures to be replaced.
Room cleaning was a mixed bag. The lady was friendly but didn't do a thorough job. E.g. we stayed for 9 days and had to manually ask for refills to toiletries or toilet paper. I had a cup of tea on the first day and it was never cleaned the entire stay. There was still lots of toothpaste stain by the bathroom sink wall.
Good AC, water pressure and WiFi.
Soundproofing needs improvement though as the walls are super thin and noise travels through the vents easily. Could quite clearly hear everything as the girl next door had a train run on her one night.
Nariman at the front desk was a particularly gracious host
(After my second stay, I just want to reiterate how gracious and helpful the staff are. The location is great and the furnishings very luxe and comfortable, but as we all know it is the attitude of the staff that makes all the difference. It’s what will keep me coming back to this hotel whenever I am in Istanbul).
