Reviews of Astan Hotel Galata

The location + the staff

The air conditioner was very hot The room is too small

The location and staff are great

There is very loud music across the street

Great location

Although the room was very clean, the curtains haven’t been washed for awhile

Clean

Downhill way to get there

Great location, 3 minutes walk from Galata Tower in the tourist area. The staff speaks English. Delicious breakfast that you can eat for half a day in advance. Warm and cozy room

We did not have time to have breakfast because of early flight, but despite of it the kind staff provided us breakfast wraps- we were very pleased with the service.

You get a great value for the price. The area of the hotel is great and not as touristy as in the old town. We had a great stay!

No internet at room. And also breakfast is awful. Need too improve it

Location was perfect. They cleaned our rooms every day. Everybody who worked there was pleasant and helpful.

Breakfast was terrible. No slippers or robes unless you ask for them. No WiFi. It was broken for all 4 days of our stay. That had a bad impact on my work life.

Comfy beds, heating works well, ok showers. Staff tried their best to make our stay comfortable. The breakfast terrace has great views.

This is a budget accomodation; you get what you pay for. Everything is quite basic. By Turkish standards, breakfast is mediocre (which is still not bad at all). The first room they put us in was smelly. They then switched us to a different room which was better but came with broken lamps and toilet. The staff fixed every problem immediately but still this left a bad first impression. The location is kind of convenient to get to many places, it's very close to Galata tower. But to get anywhere you always have to climb some stairs. The taxi driver failed to find a way to drive here (it's all just narrow one-way alleys), so we had to walk up those stairs with our suitcases. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have heavy suitcases or are traveling with less mobile people.

Great location! Close to everything. Good view from the window. Even when you hear music (really nice) and laugh all the night 😀 it doesn't make you feel bad.

The hotel requires total renovation, especially rooms. Everything is old, doesn't work properly: lights in the room, cracked mirror... and nobody cares 🙄. Cleaning is poor. You have to ask for a bottle of water each time. Breakfast is not bad.. but it is far to be really good. Towels are old and leaky. But the worst is the bathroom: black mold, terrible smell from the sewer, broken things... Don't want to repeat this experience.

Staff was super nice. The hotel has a great cozy atmosphere. The location is superb. As an added bonus, there was a man playing saxophone in the restaurant next door in the evenings <3

Terribly dirty hotel, though somehow the bed is clean and even comfortable.

Location is great, close to Kardakoy Tram and Galata Port, Bridge, and Tower, everything is within walking distance, Expect A lot of uphill and downhill walk, cobbled roads - as it is surrounding the Galata tower area. They can improve on facilities, like towels without holes - we had to request for slippers, the coffee maker and kettle is not working , we did not complain to the reception anymore since we only stayed for 2 nights and were mostly outside - so only water is complimentary, bed is nice, interiors of the room are better than most - there's a nice wine resto in front of the hotel - Vigneron - perfect place to end the day. we did not avail the 10 euro breakfast as we opt to take it outside, check in and check out were easy - we left our bags at the reception after check out so we can explore the area a little more.

They can improve on facilities, like towels without holes - we had to request for slippers, the coffee maker and kettle is not working - so only water is complimentary, - a little room freshener and lounge music will also help to liven up the hotel
