I had a fantastic stay at Royal Galata Hotel! The location was ideal, with easy access to key attractions like Galata Tower, and my street-facing balcony room offered stunning views of Hagia Sofia and the lively streets below. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially Mr. Ismail and Mr. Baris, who made me feel right at home. However, I did notice some minor cleanliness issues in the bathroom, which could use more attention.

I had a lovely stay at the Royal Galata Hotel, where the friendly staff and excellent service really stood out. The location is perfect, just a short walk to Galata Tower and other key attractions. However, the noise from the street outside could be a bit overwhelming at times, especially with performers playing late into the night.

I had a great time staying at Royal Galata Hotel. The location is perfect, just a short walk to Galata Tower and other attractions, making it easy to explore. The room I got was cozy and came with this awesome balcony view where I could hear street performances. The only downside was the steep hill leading to the hotel, which might be a workout. Overall, I'd say it's totally worth it for the ambiance and service!

The location is excellent, with amazing views of both Hagia Sophia and Galata Tower from my balcony room. The staff was incredibly accommodating, creating a welcoming atmosphere that made my experience nice. However, I found the hotel slightly stuffy at times, which detracted a bit from my comfort.
