We booked a Deluxe but got a free upgrade to Superior Bosphorus because the Dexule undergone maintenance. Superior Bosphorus is amazingly beautiful. The view of the Bosphorus straight is stunning, especially of the sunrise every morning. The apartment has it's own balcony which you can relax while having breakfast. The location is just next to the İstiklal Caddesi (Istikal Avenue) that will take you to Taksim. If you don't fancy walking, the historic tram will bring you straight there. Galatea Tower is only a few minutes away. Nearest metro stop is Sishane. There is also the Beyoglu Tunel funicular to take you to the Karakoy tramstop. There is a free laundry facilities next door. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Very friendly and helpful Concierge made us feel welcome and helped with taking bags to and from room, helped with advice on district. Room was huge in area and rooms very unusual. Loved the area, quiet and safe but close to major dining and shopping areas! Would recommend to all visitors

Steep challenging cobble stone road but not a big problem.

We stayed at one of the Galateia Residence Duplex Apartments (apartment B7) for 8 nights with my father, mother, and sister. Our overall experience was very pleasant, and I would highly recommend this place for your stay in Istanbul. The apartment is quite spacious with a large terrace. Downstairs includes two bedrooms: one large bedroom with its own bathroom, and another relatively small bedroom. There is also another guest bathroom in the hall. Upstairs, there is a kitchen with all the basic kitchenware needed for cooking, and a very large living room with a beautiful view of the sea and Istanbul port, where you can see large cruise ships arriving and departing. The cooling system is very effective; even when it was very warm outside, the temperature inside was pleasant. There is also a safe inside the apartment that you can use. Another very important advantage is the neighborhood. The Galateia neighborhood, in my opinion, is one of the most vibrant and interesting places you can visit and stay in Istanbul. It has a European vibe with beautiful and historical buildings all around, while also being very safe. Although the street of the residence is very quiet, it only takes a three-minute walk to reach the heart of the nightlife in the neighborhood with all the bars. Usually, we drank some wine at home and then went to the nearby streets to experience the nightlife. There are also many different supermarkets nearby that you can buy your groceries at. The staff were really helpful whenever we needed something. For example, when we asked them for economical transportation, they called yellow taxis for us. The drivers were very friendly, and their prices were fair.

The only downside I remember was that the curtains in the living room and in the guest bedroom were not suitable. As a family of four, one of us wanted to sleep on the couch in the living room, but it was very bright in the morning (even though I asked beforehand if it was dark, and they said it was). But as I said, overall it was a very good experience, and I highly recommend this place!

The duplex apartment was very clean, the views are fantastic and it is a big apartment and you have everything you need in the kitchen, in the bathrooms. The staff was nice, always there when there was an issue.

Everything was very good. It is an old building so some things are not new. It is very close to the Galata Tower , you even have a view of the Galata Tower from the terrace and it is kept very clean. And, on the upper level it is pretty hot during the Summer (July and August) , the air conditioner is older on the upper level and it can’t sustain cold air inside if it is very hot outside.

Since it was an apartment there was no breakfast in our package. However there are lot of options for b'fast here.... you r actually spoilt for choices 😆.... The property is located in one of the best locations in Istanbul with lot of restaurants, Cafes, clubs and shops just at walking distance. The Swedish consulate is just a stone throw away so ur safety issue is also sorted with police outside the consulate round the clock. Galata tower and Istikal street are just 5 mins away from the apartment. U can walk down to these 2 places easily. The rooms, linens, towels etc everything was very clean and comfortable.. wud love to stay here in my next visit too I highly recommend a stay in this apartment if u r in Istanbul

We were living in a huge aprtment B-8 which had 2 interconnected floors. The air-conditioner of upper floor of our apartment was not working properly... but the issue was kind of sorted later.... the shower of upper level bathroom had very low speed of water flowing our of it so bathing in that bathroom was a task.... but the bathroom on lower floor was perfect. Besides these 2 things everything was perfect 🥰

It's a real apartment, not just a hotel room: very comfortable! There's a kitchen as well, and plenty of room. Location is simply perfect: * Right next to Şişhane metro stop (easy ride to airport by M2+M11) * Right next to İstiklal Avenue * Next to Galata tower * Short walk to Galata bridge (but be prepared for hills, of course) * Several fashionable Istanbul neighborhoods are nearby. * Despite all of the above, it's actually very quiet at night! Bed was comfortable. There was even a Netflix account for the apartment! P.S. Just a pointer if you're taking the metro: make sure you take the closest exit at Şişhane, otherwise it will be a long walk)

Nothing negative to note. Not much of a view, but the place was on a low floor, so that's expected. I've read there's a great view from the apartments on higher floors though.

We absolutely loved this very spacious and clean apartment. Great bathroom and very good shower with good water presure. Lovely XL king bed. The second bedroom has a very nice sunny aspect. Nice kitchen well enough equiped to cook some meals. We were on the 3rd floor with an elevator. 3rd Floor also provided for some very nice distant views. Reception staff were very nice and helpfull. The location is excellent. Grocery stores close by, cafes and restaurants, tunnel train and tram all within a few minutes walk. All together we had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. The perfect spot in Istanbul to spend some time. We definitely would stay there again.

Considering the wonderful XL King bed, the douna was very small it barely covered the width of the bed.

Helpful and communicative staff. Free laundry and dryer facility available. Room is very spacious and clean. Located in the heart of the action close to Galata and Sishane metro station, literally a stone throw away from the busy Istiklal Street, yet the property has good noise control. We could not hear any noise although we stayed here during the New Year's Eve.

Not the property's fault, but as with all properties in the Galata area, people with mobility issues or elderly people or people with lots of luggages might want to consider the fact that you'd need to walk uphill to reach the property. If you catch a taxi to reach the property at the wrong time of the day, you might be caught in traffic for quite a while or you might have to keep stopping to give way to pedestrians as well as other stopping vehicles due to the narrow road.

I had a great 7-day stay at this apartment in Istanbul. Despite being in a lively area, the apartment itself was very quiet, allowing for a restful experience. The location was super convenient with a funicular to Galata Bridge and a metro station nearby, making it easy to explore the city. The kitchen was well-equipped with all the essentials, and there were a few grocery stores in the area, which was very helpful. Check-in and check-out were smooth, and communication with the reception was effortless. Highly recommend for a comfortable and convenient stay!

The location is great. Just a few steps away from the Galata Tower and just behind the Istiklal street. But worry not, it's not loud or crowded. Good window insulation really does magic with the noise from outside. We are very happy to choose this place as our place in Istanbul. The Receptionist guy was also very hands-on. When we need help with the safe box, he immediately provides a solution.

Well, basically you have to walk uphill and downhill in this area, but that's actually great if you really need to get your steps count 😁
