Galata Times Hotel

Disappointing start.. we checked in very late at night, after a long day of travel and just wanted to relax in our room so we ordered food. Upon collecting the food at reception from a food delivery company, we were told it was ‘illegal’ to order food to the hotel and had to eat from the restaurant? It was 10pm and the restaurant was closed at this point. Unsure why this was an issue? Had read previous reviews about the rooms being small so made sure to book the ‘executive’ room (second option) just to be sure and thankful I did. The room wasn’t executive by any means and wasn’t huge, was as big as an average chain hotel room. When we seen the average room, it was very small so would recommend paying extra for some more space. Hotel was in a great location, walking distance to everything and directly opposite metro which made transport easy. Room and bathroom were nice and clean. Breakfast was okay, set you up for the day but wouldn’t have paid for it if it wasn’t included. For all the time we stayed in the hotel, it done the job and location was handy. Glad we got a good price for this or I would have been disappointed but can’t complain too much for what we paid.

Amazing breakfast with amazing view. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Great boutique hotel. Highly recommend.

The room was dirty. Cleaning is so bad. Hair on bed as if bedsheets weren’t changed. Urine on toilet seat. We arrived after a 7 hour flight and we were very tired just to enter a room that was disgusting. When the cleaning lady came to clean the toilet she tried to convince me that it was already clean and then she cleaned it with a kitchen towel without detergent, thats like smearing urine from one place to another. I was shocked. Will never go there again.

Amazing views from the breakfast area, plenty to eat!!

The location was the best, love the terrace and the view of the gala tower and the city. The staff was super attentive and nice. Breakfast was delicious and great variety. However, no noise insulation in the room thus you could hear the next room and when they used the bathroom as well. The room chosen was ok but smaller than expected.
