The good: close to vibrant neighborhoods and attractions; nice common areas; laundry service available; cleanliness was decent, elevator access. The bad: Location in dark side alley; rooms not soundproof at all (can hear everything in the hallways); comfort room was very tiny; bed mattress quite soft; thick layer of dust bunnies under the bed; fridge wasn’t cold.

WiFi not good for work calls. But otherwise a great place. 10 minute walk to rail, shopping, dining and nightlife. Balcony had a wonderful view overlooking the city. Great vibes with the staff, lobby sounds as a coffee shop and it was always a good conversation with interesting people. Room was spacious, they provided everything you could need. Only complaint was the toilet/bathroom smelled a little - smelled like sewer water although everything was clean.

Hotel MOLA Galata has a personable and helpful staff that helped make my stay a pleasure. The hotel is in a safe location with access to all points of interest, via bus, metro, ferrie, taxi, and on foot. The style of the hotel is appealing and you can get coffee, tea and food in the lobby. There is also an expansive and awe inspiring view of the Golden Horn from the terrace.

Nice hotel in the Galata area, with well decorated interior. The location is very close to the Galata tower and cafes/restaurants. It’s easy to get around the city from the hotel, and not far from the metro stop but it is located down some quiet backstreets and if you’re travelling alone that may concern you. I didn’t have any issues but would recommend sticking to the main roads. The rooftop terrace is a great bonus and gives great views over the Galata Bridge. The hotel accepts cash payments only, you can’t prepay and you can’t pay using any kind of card (credit/debit/Amex). That isn’t very clearly mentioned on the listing and I only found out the night before my stay. In 2023 that is very unusual for a city centre hotel.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel MOLA Galata. It is minutes walking distance to Galata Tower and many options of restaurants and cafes on a pedestrian only street. The hotel is so close to everything but also quiet for sleeping as it’s just a few blocks away. The rooftop terrace has stunning views of Istanbul and a great place to have a wine or coffee. The hotel has wonderful staff who are there 24 hours so it feels very safe and secure. A special thank you to Omar who was very kind and helped with great recommendations in the area.

Staff was super friendly (here's a big shoutout to manager Hakan!). The hotel is between Sisane and Helic and 5min away from Galata Tower by foot. Breakfast is a traditional Turkish breakfast. Room was clean too. I would recommend it to my friends and family and am willing to return in the future. Oh, and the street cats were super cute, too.
