What guests think

Across many reviews, Galley Hotel stands out for warm, helpful staff and generally clean, comfortable rooms, plus a convenient, walkable location near Sultanahmet and major sights and transit, though some guests mention uphill streets.

Rooms are often compact, with some sloped ceilings, limited soundproofing, and wet-room showers that can splash or drain poorly. A few reports cite maintenance or comfort issues such as weak air conditioning, water interruptions, broken extras, or trains and street noise. Breakfast is frequently described as tasty, but some disliked the 09:00 start or questioned freshness on certain days. Expect a friendly, budget base close to the sights, with trade-offs in room size and noise.

This was a great budget-friendly option for Istanbul. It's within walking distance of many of the main tourist attractions and with good public transport connections. The staff were helpful and friendly and the breakfast was great. The only small issue was that the bathroom had an open shower in the style of a wet room, but did not have sufficient drainage and as a result it flooded every time we showered.

Don't choose single economic room at all , because it is mostly a cage not a room . You even can't open your luggage there and the bathroom doesn't have any space to take a shower and because it is located in the backyard next to the wall , is so noisy and you can't rest because of cars and neighbors who passes there.

We took the only 4 ppl room on level 3. The staff Zubair was kind enough to help to bring luggage upstairs. The room was slightly claustrophobic given the slanting part in the room was about 1.4m in height only, but the hotel was in a premium sultanahmet location. We didn’t mind as much as we spent most of the time outdoor.

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

Utterly poor. When we first came in the male receptionist who greeted us with stare looked miserable and unwilling to help with our luggage. The room was so small with two twin double beds. The AC barely cooled the room as it was placed behind a closet. The window was broken which caused hot air to enter so sleeping was uncomfortable and due to the small space. When we asked for water they said we weren’t allowed any more until the next day. They counted the bottles and only gave us 2 when we were 5 people. Although the hotel looks nice and the rooms are clean-looking, the service is poor, the location is poor due to having to walk up hills just to get to the tram and metro (1km away) and a 15 min walk to the centre. Taxis are away at the main road so you have to walk quite a bit to get one. Stayed for 3 nights and only had room service once where they didn’t even clean the bathroom. The toilet didn’t have a window. Servicer said they would do room service but did not do it when we stayed 2 nights more after they cleaned it. The breakfast looked like it was the same as the day before just putting cling film on top and putting it in the fridge. Got sick from eating it. There is also no lift. When we checked out, the same receptionist was there and he did not speak one word to us and did not say goodbye or thank you. He stared and stood there only. Would only recommend if you are a small group (2-3 people), have a small amount of luggage and don’t mind walking long distances
