I had a really nice stay at this hotel, enjoying the beautiful and well-lit rooms, which were always clean and fresh. The location is excellent, close to major attractions and public transport options. The staff was friendly and helpful, although the service could use a bit more finesse. Dining left something to be desired, as the options felt a bit limited. Overall, great value for money, but some areas could be improved.

The hotel had a lot going for it, especially the amazing location that made it easy to explore the Old City and Taksim Square. The staff was incredibly nice and always willing to help. However, the room experience wasn’t ideal, as it was pretty small and had a few unpleasant odors. Overall, it’s a great value for the location and service, but the rooms could do with some improvements.

I had a really great experience at this hotel, with super clean and newly remodeled rooms and a fantastic breakfast on the rooftop that offered stunning views of the city. The location is top-notch, making it easy to access transportation and major attractions. However, I did run into some minor issues with the room's carpet, which made walking without shoes a bit tricky, and the noise from the area could get a bit much at times. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Istanbul.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore the Old City and Taksim Square, but the room was on the small side and felt dark at night. The service was friendly and helpful, which made my stay more enjoyable. However, the dining options could use some improvement after a few days of the same food selections.

I had a fantastic stay at Galata La Bella! The hotel is super clean and newly remodeled, with a great rooftop breakfast that offers an amazing view of the city to start the day right. It's conveniently located close to tram and ferry stations, making it easy to explore. The friendly staff, especially Baris, made my experience even better. The only downside was that the dining options could use a bit more variety, but overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Istanbul!

The hotel had a great location, just a short walk from the tramway and close to key attractions. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. However, the room was quite small and a bit noisy due to the air conditioning and birds outside. It could have been cleaner, but the experience overall still felt like good value for money.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, with easy access to public transportation and some great views. The rooms were initially a bit dark, but the staff was accommodating and moved us to a better room. However, the dining options lacked variety, and after a few days, it felt monotonous. Overall, it’s a decent value for the price, especially in such a central area, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay more pleasant. However, I found the rooms to be noisy due to the restaurant upstairs and was disappointed with the dining options which felt repetitive. The location was convenient for public transport but the overall value for the comfort level wasn’t quite perfect.

Rooms

The room was a bit noisy with sounds coming from the restaurant above, and I was surprised to find that the view was blocked by a wall instead of the beach I was expecting. It felt stuffy at times, but I appreciated having the option to open the windows, even if it let in some smoke.

The rooms are clean and recently remodeled, plus breakfast on the rooftop with a beautiful view is a stunning way to start the day.

I had a great stay at Galata La Bella, thanks to its convenient location close to the tram and ferry stations. The rooms were spotless and recently remodeled, which made for a cozy experience. The highlight was definitely having breakfast on the rooftop with a lovely view of the city. However, the dining options were quite limited after a few days, and I was hoping for something a bit more exciting. Overall, the value for money here is excellent, especially with the hotel’s shuttle service to the airport, which is a lifesaver in Istanbul's taxi chaos.
