We had a wonderful week at Georges and couldn’t be happier with our choice of hotel. Everything was perfection: ideal location in a quiet, characterful street close to the iconic Galata Tower; the historic hotel building itself was beautifully renovated and very elegant, the room decor so stylish and the bed unbelievably comfortable (our room was very spacious and we loved sitting on our large balcony looking out over the rooftops); the beautiful rooftop bar with a panoramic view of the Bosphorus and excellent cocktails; the magnificent resident hotel cat Lollipop. And above all our stay was so good because the staff were exceptional, so friendly and helpful and in particular gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations. It was our first visit to Istanbul and we absolutely fell in love with the city and can’t wait to return. And we would not hesitate to stay at Georges again. Next time for sure we would be tempted to book the panoramic suite on the upper floor with an incredible view over the Bosphorus which we were very surprisingly upgraded to for one night on the evening we arrived. Thank you Team Georges for a wonderful week, we miss you!

Very professional, friendly, helpful team overall, be it a reception or a restaurant. Special thanks for Jan (Jean) and Furkan. Room had a balcony with an amazing view. Hotel located in a very beautiful location, walking distance to Galata Tower square. Beautiful streets, nice neighborhood, few minutes to Galata Port.

The air conditioning was faulty for 2 nights.. but the management was super wonderful in doing whatever they could to help with a cooler and treating us to cocktails at their rooftop bar .. which was a plus

The location was amazing ! The rooms were decently sized and clean and super comfy beds

One thing I missed was having breakfast included. At every other hotel we stayed at in Turkey, a traditional Turkish breakfast was part of the stay — and always a highlight. Hotel Georges does offer breakfast on its beautiful rooftop, but it’s at an additional cost, which felt like a missed opportunity given the setting. Also worth mentioning: the in-room coffee pods were not complimentary and were part of the mini bar charges — a small detail, but a bit unexpected. Also it was not possible to read in the room due to the lighting, the stairwells were dark as well.

Hotel Georges Galata was the perfect home base for our time in Istanbul. The location couldn’t be better — just steps from the Galata Tower and a few minute walk to the tram, which made it easy to get to the historic sites in Sultanahmet. We loved the nearby local restaurants, and the fact that we could often spot the Galata Tower from around the city made it easy to find our way back. The hotel's rooftop restaurant was a real highlight — peaceful, with an amazing view of the Bosphorus. It was the perfect spot to unwind with a nightcap after a day of exploring. The staff were all incredibly kind and helpful throughout our stay. We didn’t book a room with a balcony or Bosphorus view and kind of wish we had — our room was still comfortable, and the bed was great. The windows blocked out all outside noise, which was a nice surprise in such a lively area. The bathroom layout could have been a bit better, but everything was clean and stocked with lovely Atelier Rebul toiletries. Also, a small but memorable detail — the hotel smelled amazing! And of course, there’s Lollipop — the hotel’s beautiful resident cat. Sweet with guests but an absolute diva compared to the other local cats. Lollipop knows he/she is elite and living the good life at Hotel Georges.

Fantastic service - nothing was too much bother. The view from the balcony was outstanding. Location was excellent - Galata has some great artisan/upmarket shops, cafe’s bars and restaurants. Our room with balcony was very spacious and beds super comfortable.

Room was well furnished with extremely comfy bed. Bath was sublime. We had dinner in the rooftop restaurant which had wonderful views of the city but more importantly the food, wine and service were all excellent.
