My stay here was so great. The staff were amazing - very helpful, always available and very friendly. For the price, the accommodation was really good - its close to transport and many of the sites, but be aware there is a decently steep hill that was my nemesis until I got used to it, but to be fair, I'm not at all fit. Important to know is that the rooms are not cleaned daily but you can ask for your bedding to be changed or clean towels. Room had a fridge and kettle which is really handy. Great place to end a touristy packed day

Excellent location. Very helpful and kind staff, I left behind my e-Reader and the young man at reception went out of his way to find it for me, I am very grateful!!.

If you’re planning your first trip to Istanbul and feeling overwhelmed with hotel options, let me save you some time: The Galley Hotel is a hidden gem. I stayed for over two weeks and it truly made my trip. I’m extremely picky about cleanliness and spent weeks researching because I wanted a sea view and balcony without paying luxury hotel prices. This place delivered. The room was spotless (and I’m a serious clean freak), comfortable, and the sea view was exactly what I hoped for. What really stood out was the hospitality. Right after I booked through Expedia, the hotel reached out to help arrange airport transfers at fair prices, which made arriving in a new city much easier. As a Muslim woman traveling solo, safety was my top priority, and I felt completely safe and respected the entire time. A huge thank you to Ali at the front desk. His professionalism and genuine care for guests made the stay unforgettable. The staff also kindly let me use the communal kitchen, which was incredibly helpful during a longer stay. One honest note: the metro runs nearby, so light sleepers may want earplugs or headphones. For me, the sea view made it totally worth it. And don’t forget the neighborhood cats! They’re adorable and part of the local charm—please buy some food and feed them if you can. It ended up being one of the sweetest little highlights of my trip. About a 15-minute walk to the Blue Mosque, beautiful views, and staff who truly care. I’d happily stay here again 😊
