First time in Europe/Asia and Turkey. I love this country! I know there is a negative opinion of Islamic people and countries, my experience in Turkey was that all people are different. Treat and judge people individually. Warmest people I have ever met. Family first policy should be exemplary for other countries. I hope that country stays as it is and gets better. Turkey please stay out of the wars...you are such a beautiful country and your people are the best! Wilson Galata was very very cute. Next to the Galata tower. I liked the way they saved electricity by activating it with the room key. I had never seen that before. The little street corners, the cobblestone streets straight out of a novel. What a romantic location. We got to see the streets empty when it rained and it was beautiful. We felt welcomed and loved. Thank you!

You cannot beat the location! Two minute walk from Galata Tower! Cute neighborhood, walkable to Galata bridge and Sultanahmet neighborhood. Istiklal Avenue is minutes away. I loved the cobblestone streets around the hotel , small cafes. Lots of dining options, souvenir shops, very vibrant area. The room was decent , spacious, may be just a bit dated. Comfortable queen size bed. We had a third person who had to sleep on the couch, which was wide enough but did not unfold and was a bit firm. But you don’t spend much time in the room in Istanbul! I would definitely recommend this place to any Istanbul traveler. This was my first trip to Istanbul and I am glad I booked in this neighborhood. I would definitely choose this over other neighborhoods.

A great location. Staff were helpful. The decor and equipment is more than a little tired and our bathroom and other aspects of the room weren’t very clean when we arrived. That improved after the housekeeping staff made up the room. However it was a good place to stay overall; I tried not to think too much about whether the fire safety arrangements were legal. It certainly wasn’t obvious

My partner and I spent 4 nights in the junior suite with balcony at this hotel and had a great time overall. The room decor and appliances are updated despite being in an old building. The location is at the heart of the Galata Tower area, with many dining options, historic charm, and friendly neighborhood cats on cobblestone streets right downstairs! Only major issue was that when it rained the ceiling was leaking a bit on the top floor, but management accommodated us appropriately. Also, WiFi was weak and inconsistent on the top floor. Comfortable bed, beautiful view of the Galata Tower from the balcony, good water pressure in the bathroom, working AC, generally nice comforts in a historic part of town.
