- Location Location Location... - Communication with owner - Cozy rooms - Cleaning the rooms every day - Bottle of waters every day for free
- Rooms looks bigger on pictures. Actually, they are pretty small - You can t open the windows to have fresh air - Some noise from outside - Low water pressure on 4th floor while showering - Doesn t look like a 4 star boutique hotel but its value for money for what it offers.

Charming little hotel, located in a cosy narrow street (but our taxi was able to reach it) in Beyoglu. We love walking, and it was close enough to Sultanahmet to walk to the Haga Sofie (took us about 30 mins). The rooms are rather small but cleverly designed, so we did not have the feeling we did not have enough space. We had one room for us as parents and one for the kids, we asked the hotel owner to have them close to each other and they took care of it, we really appreciated this. Rooms are perfectly clean and the showers are good. Note that it is located right next to a mosque, so you do hear the call to prayer early in the morning. But that's something you have to accept and respect in a Muslim country.
Nothing, everything was perfect.

Excellent service from Ali! He was very kind and accommodated our early check-in due to flight changes. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice street view. Ali was extremely helpful and quick to assist with any requests or questions. For example, when I needed to iron my shirt, he provided help in less than five minutes. The hotel is just a five-minute walk from Galata Tower, making it the perfect location—not too far, yet not too close to the crowded and noisy streets around the tower. I’ve added a photo taken outside the hotel; you’ll see that the street is beautiful and not crowded at all. If you're looking for a cozy place to stay, this is the one you need. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it!

Ali who met us was super friendly and welcoming. Very helpful and even took us to a coffee place one morning. The hotel is very central and we walked everywhere from there and felt very safe coming back at night after dinner and drinks. Hotel room was a good size and modern. Very good for the price we paid.
Everything was good based on the price we paid.

The room was small but enough for what we needed (2 people). Everything was very clean and new and the bathroom worked perfectly, with hot water. The staff (sorry, I forgot the name of the man) was super helpful and was available on whatsapp anytime. The hotel is very well located, in the neighbourhood of Galata, 2 mins walking to the tower and to the famous street of Istiklal. I really recommed this place.
The hotel was next to a mosque so the first call to pray in the morning (around 6 am) woke us up every morning.

Galata Co is a very pleasant small hotel in the vibrant Pera district. Located between Istiklal Street and the Gaĺata Tower it is easily accessible by metro Sishane which is on the main line and also by funicular tram from Karakoy. The building itself is a historic one but the rooms are spacious and get good light. The renovated bathroom is an added bonus. Ali, our host was very kind and extremely helpful. We will definitely visit again.

Very friendly host. Great location. Very comfortable bed.
Aircon was not working (and there was no other form of air ventilation) and if you open the balcony door, street noise wouldn't let you sleep. Nonetheless, temp in the city was good so I could manage.

The staff is so kind and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy at all times. Ali was especially kind. I also love the location. It's right in the heart of Galata, near restaurants and shops and all of the action, but not too busy or noisy at night. Close to a lot of transportation options as well.
I would have liked a duvet insert for the cover.

It was a small room, but compared to other rooms at this price the size was decent. The location was absolutely perfect. The galata neighbourhood is the most family friendly and versatile neighbourhood in Istanbul. You have easy access to both metro, bus and tram. The hotel room was clean and had a small cute balcony. We did have a mini fridge as well. That was about it. You have to climb all the stairs and the room was only good for sleeping. Nothing else to offer in the hotel.
Nothing much. I wish it was more hotel like and less like a room for sleeping.

The location is perfect. The room is clean, stylish and pretty nice. Everything that was mentioned in the description was the room.
The room was very small. The sound isolation between the main room and the bathroom was practically absent. The host didn't met as on the arrival and didn't leave an instruction about getting in.
