This hotel is excellent: in a great location close to Galata tower and transport options (metro Sishane). The rooms are clean, modern and well furnished. If you can, pay a bit extra for the top floor rooms with a terrace: the view of the Golden Horn and the mosques is out of this world and even better than on the photos provided on this site. This would deserve a 10 rating in itself but what made this hotel truly exceptional is the personal service by the owner and its team. Thank you very much for taking such good care!

Galata Tower

Medieval Galata Tower pierces the clouds above Istanbul’s skyline, a soaring sentinel to the north of the Golden Horn. A replacement for a previous tower that was destroyed in the crusades, this one was built by the Genoese in 1348. or hundreds of years, it was the tallest building in Istanbul – and its uppermost balcony still offers unrivalled city views today.

    While the tower is great vantage point, overlooking the entire Golden Horn, the admission tickets are quite expensive and the place is crammed with crowds. If you decide to visit anyway, aim for the 30min before sunset

    Another joke which is not even Turkish, as most of the monuments. Anyway. 35 euros just to inside the tower. If you want to use the lift you’ll pay 60 euros to enter. Told you these guys are born thieves! Amazing.

    It's good that they have installed a set of lifts to get to the top of the tower. So you are not walking up too many steps. Best to get there early or towards sunset to see spectacular views with the mosques and the sea across Istanbul.

    Definitely a must. Go in the early evening as the night lights are awesome. Museum Pass is a must - this is one of the places you can visit with it. I bought a 5 day pass for 700 TL at Topkapi Palace.

    The apartment is in an excellent area where it has great transport links to other locations in Istanbul. It was a surprisingly quiet apartment considering how many cafes, restaurants, shops were in the locality. A couple of minutes from Galata Tower and walkable to other tourist areas. Communications with the agent was good and responsive.

    I loved the charm of this Marriot hotel centrally located in Galata. A wonderful breakfast with a view was served in a different building a very short walk away. Galata tower was close by and was beautiful at night. The hotel was close to the Galata bridge and public transport. Great location to get around Istanbul.

    Absolutely yes! Istanbul is open restaurant. In every corner you can find perfect meal. Good to try fish restaurant in Bosphorous, or in Çiçek Pasajı. And also good to try restaurants in Maiden or Galata Tower with perfect city view. What it can be better than that!
