kind staff, they helped us with many points and made our stay really comfortable greatly designed rooms, tasteful perfect location- 1 minute from galata great value for the price! i would recommend

the cleaning of the room was not great, during our three night stays the floor was never cleaned. upon arrival, the sheets were clearly not changed (we found hair and other stains on the bed) so we had to ask for new ones and change them ourselves the bathroom floor, corners were not cleaned, old stains and lots of sticky hair the bathroom could use more privacy. the babycot did not have a mattress, so they used a duvet instead which was not very comfortable for my baby. i am only writing these comments to help the management improve the cleanliness point as it is the most important point in any hotel! otherwise i really recommend this family run boutique hotel

Everything was neat , the location was great , it’s near galata tower and minutes far from taksim, with quick accessible to the metro station. Even though it is in a busy tourist area there was no noise near the hotel , also it was good secured , they lock the entry door at night for safety .The staff were amazing ! So friendly and hospitable, they even got us our food order directly to our room. The room was pretty comfy , it was a great experience

The only thing that I recommend is having tissue papers in the room

The Staff at the hotel was amazing. Ibrahim and Ali were super accommodating. We were 8, loud, all over the place, girls and they made our stay as comfortable as possible. They also arranged all our separate airport taxies at all different times, at amazing rates. The hotel has very boutique hotel vibes. The location is perfect, a stones throw away from the Galata tower, and all the best cafes and restaurants just a few footsteps away.

The only 2 things that might be a bit off putting for people are: 1. the street the hotel is in is a back street with the garbage collection right next to it 2. The area from the lobby to the lift is very narrow and seems like a back entrance rather than main lobby.

Before I arrived, the staff at the hotel were working to ensure a smooth and pleasant stay. I had a hotel transfer arranged by the hotel complete with an instructional video of the pick-up point. I was met at the door by reception upon my arrival and was asked to sit on a lounge whilst I was checked in. Given water and offered coffee. My bags were brought to the room. Every single time I left the hotel, the reception staff would stand and bid me a nice day and welcome me back and ask if I needed anything arranged. Fresh towel, more water, coffee or a taxi. Above and beyond what I expected. The room was massive and very stylish and modern. It had a large shower separate from the toilet. Both private. It had air-conditioning, which could be adjusted by staff upon a simple phone call to the desk. The beds were comfortable. The location was right at the foot of the Galata Tower. I recommend going to the Tower pub around the corner for a pub dinner and beer. Great vibe when busy. Great food and a resident dog 🐕. The room also had plenty of storage, and the balcony had a view of the city. The blue mosque and Bosphorus Bridge. It exceeded my expectations, which were already quite high. I would definitely go back. Thank you for making my stay so great.

The only downfall was that my holiday had to end, and I needed to check out. Seriously though, there is no restaurant in the hotel, plenty of food around outside. The coffee is only instant. If could private pods or similar- even if at an additional cost. Maybe breakfast option would be nice too (even a continental one). But these are mere suggestions rather than complaints.

A quaint, well centered place to hide away from the busy crowds. We found Galatea Rasso to be more than adequate and surprisingly modern on the inside. Yes there was plenty of noise coming off the street but that’s the price you pay for being in the shadow of one of Istanbul's major tourist attractions. The rooms were clean and the staff ready to help. we definitely recommend this hotel for someone needing a safe central place to stay. Until next time Turkey… “Elveda”

There was some construction on the building next door to the establishment, which wasn't ideal but mostly, this did not bother us as construction was only done during the day when we were out and about, and no construction was done at night.

Brand new family boutique hotel, centrally located in Galata district, 5 mins walk to a subway, few steps away from Galata tower, oasis in a hustle and bustle! Very warm, welcoming and caring owners, sparkling clean, large, contemporary design room, comfortable bed and pillows, quiet climate control system. There is a balcony if you like to have a cup of coffee in the morning! Despite the fact that my room was on the first floor, it was full of sunlight! Wifi is excellent, strong and stable, suits for a remote work. Thank you for your hospitality, Riza. I would love to come back and certainly recommend to other visitors!

Clean and comfortable room, nice decoration. We had a room on the ground floor with a terrace, it was nice to have an outdoor space. The air conditioning worked very well. The hotel is perfectly located: near the Galata Tower but far enough away from the noise. There is a metro 5 minutes away by foot. The staff was very kind and attentive. We are satisfied with our stay.

The elevator beep is a little loud, you can hear it. The light in the hall/corridor could be reduced a little, as at night it brought light into the room. But nothing serious.

The location is very good. 1-minute walk from Galata Tower, and 16-minute walk to Istiklal Street. Though it is close to a crowded street with cafes and restaurants, it is quite because it is not directly on that street but one that connects to it.

It is difficult for a car to get exactly to the hotel's door, because it's a narrow street which is residential. Usually cars park and block other cars from coming in. Example: the taxi to the airport actually reached the hotel but when we were on the way to the airport we were blocked by cars that parked and left (no parking but actually blocking this small street). The taxi called the vehicles a couple of times and we waited for almost 15 minutes for them to come and move their cars. The best approach is, just move onto another street walking with your luggage, and from there take a taxi.

Great location close to the Galata tower. Friendly reception staff. Check in was very easy with nil issues. Lots of space in the room and it was very modern. Fresh clean linen and towels provided

Could have been a little cleaner especially around the bed and under the bedside tables. The shower in our room leaked and needed a good clean around the edges as well.

Located only a 2 minutes walk away from Galata Tower. Lots of places to eat nearby. Hotel staff was extremely helpful, with everything we needed help with and even went out of their way to help us find ferry boat to bursa and tours around Istanbul. Room was fully equipped with everything we needed, iron was available on request.

The view is not great because it is in a back alley, but that also meant the rooms were quiet in a very active neighbourhood so I didn’t mind.
