Georges Hotel Galata

It is a small hotel located in a quiet area to a trendy quarter, with a very fine attention to details in the decoration. Modern Design with a vintage touch yet cosy atmosphere. (The small café downstairs is lovely). A small, very welcoming team runs it, they will get to know you quickly which makes you feel home immediately, and they will assist you with anything you need in Istanbul. The rooms are big, the soft beds are super comfortable, the balconies very quiet and the view from the rooftop is beautiful at breakfast.

We loved our stay, but the rooms lack privacy, you can hear the neighbours quite clearly if they talk at normal voice height at night. We are good sleepers but were awaken 2 nights out of 3 at 4AM by neighbours slaming doors or talking in their rooms. We also found the breakfast really expensive (39 euros for a 3 coffees, one muesli, fried eggs coming with no side and a banana). Finally being requested to pay for the coffee capsules of the in-room nespresso machine seemed a bit abusive in this rate range. Having at least one capsule a day included in the room rate would seem more considerate. But overall it was a nice and relaxing stay.
