Wonderful family trip

The location of the hotel was great, near to the sea and the Galata Bridge. Although it was a construction going on close to the hotel which was way noisy, but the hotel room itself was comfortable. I found the staff very friendly and helpful who always tried their best to provide a good service which is appreciated.

Excellent well-located good value hotel

We enjoyed our stay at Galata La Bella. It was exceptionally well situated for us, being only about 50m from the Tunel funicular railway and only about 200m from the ferry piers at Kadikoy. The hotel provided good value, rooms were clean and well serviced and the food/views in the rooftop restaurant were brilliant. The only slightly negative comment we would make is that breakfast could be improved a bit - by providing fresh orange juice for instance, which you can buy for 1TL just outside the front door.

a gem

We were looking for a good base, not in the main tourist area nor stuck on the outskirts. Almost by chance we found a great bargain located just across the north side of the Galata bridge, basically on the end of a commercial district. Not an obvious choice perhaps, but this ticked all our boxes. The T1 tram runs 100 metres from the door to all of the main sights on the south side eg Sirkeci station, Topkapi, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque. A ten minute walk over the amazing Galata bridge gets you in to the Spice Market, Grand Bazaar etc. 50 metres from the front door is the Tunel rail station, which gets you in a couple of minutes up to the Galatas Tower and the Istiklal area for shops clubs etc. A two minute walk along the east bank gets you to a long row of restaurants which are geared towards the cruise liners which dock nearby. Use an Istanbulkart, which you can buy at the nearby Tunel vestibule, on all of the landward transport systems. Not sure about ferries. The hotel has I understand been open for only 9 mths or so, which explains the pleasant modern room decor and facilities inside a refurbished Victorian building. The airconditioned rooms are not large, but are very comfortable and the shower is as good as any I have used. The housekeeping was excellent and the room spotless. Flatscreen TV. Breakfast, included in our rate, is buffet style, well presented and a perfect set up for a day's tourism. A killer selling point is the roof terrace, which has fantastic views south over the Golden Horn, with just about every point of interest laid out in panorama whilst you sip your drink. The beer was reasonably priced. The team are young and try very hard to ensure that you have a good stay. For instance they will not try and ram excursions down your throat, but we took their suggestion of a Bosphorous afternoon cruise which turned out excellent value. Email the hotel and they can arrange pickup from the Ataturk Airport in a minivan. We paid TL60 for this, and used it also going back. .The drivers were very polite and professional. You can do it by Metro from the airport with a change to the T1 tram, but the latter does get very crowded. Bottom line is that we will definitely stay here again if we return to Istanbul. There very few hotels about which we would say this.

Super zentrales Stadthotel

Das Hotel ist renovierungsbedürftig, das Frühstück ist auch ausbaufähig, aber da wir nur zum Übernachten dort waren, hat es vollkommen ausgereicht, da das Hotel eine super Lage hat.

Hervorragende Lage zu vernünftigem Preis

Plus: Perfekte Lage direkt an Galatabrücke, eine Minute zum nächsten Simit-Verkäufer. Grosse Zimmer mit komfortabler Ausstattung. Schöne Dachterrasse mit Aussicht und guter Küche. Frühstücksbuffet reichhaltig. Sehr aufmerksames, flexibles Personal. Minus: In Zimmern in unteren Stockwerken kaum Himmel zu sehen. Diejenigen nach Norden mit sehr wenig Tageslicht. Platzverhältnisse im Frühstücksraum knapp.

Ideale Lage für Ausflüge

Schickes kleines Hotel mit recht modernen Zimmern. Mitarbeiter waren alle sehr freundlich. Lage ist Ideal für Ausflüge. Mit der Straßenbahnlinie T1 kommt man zu fast allen wichtigen Orten. Aussicht von der Dachterasse sehr schön - Frühstück jedoch im EG an der Rezeption. Es war für jeden etwas dabei von Wurst bis Käse hin zu Schokoladenaufstrich. Einen DICKEN Minuspunkt gibt es : die Mini-Bar im Zimmer niemals benutzen. IST NICHT INKLUSIVE. Und die Preise für eine Flasche Wasser sind eine Frechheit.

Te hoog gekwalificeerde hotel

Top: Ligging is heel goed dichtbij het centrum, metro halte etc, personeel is vriendelijk/behulpzaam. Tip: Naast het hotel zijn bouwwerkzaamheden gaande wat voor irritaties en geluidoverlast zorgt. Hotelkamers zijn aan de kleine/krappe kant. Je hebt geen uitzicht op de zee. Tenzij je op de 6de verdieping slaapt. Anders kijk je of uit op muren of op andere gebouwen. De badlakens/handdoeken zijn aan vervanging toe. Tot 2x toe een handdoek met scheuren gehad.
