The Hotel Des Artes in Galata was in a fantastic location. Just steps from the beautiful tower, and so close to many shops, cafés and restaurants. The hotel itself is a beautiful old building, and the rooms are full of cute vintage touches. The staff, especially Siren, we’re all friendly. The breakfast provided was at a café a few steps away, and was excellent.

Galata tower area
I loved the area which was surrounded by restaurants and cafes along the street . I could see the galata tower from my room . I t was safe but noisy and crowded . The room was clean and has a small balcony . The staff were very friendly but the room was very small and there was no TV. The bathroom and the door of the room has little issues .

Amazing!!
The atmosphere & design in the hotel is absolutely amazing, it’s giving retro vibes.
We got greeted at the door which I find that very welcoming as not alot of places do that nowadays. The location is definitely the best part of the hotel it is walking distance to all the attractions. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel & I can easily say I found my new home once I return to Istanbul, Thank you

In general it’s fine, but the bed wasn’t really comfortable, leaking water in the toilet and some other minor drawbacks. After two weeks in Istanbul and mostly staying within this area there is something to compare with.

5 night stay- Galata Istanbul
Probably the best stay in Galata Istanbul, overlooking the busy street of Galata. Most of the things are a short walk away and the service was great!

Stayed at this hotel for 6 nights and it was amazing! Direct views to the Galata Tower and there was access to a rooftop terrace which was beautiful. The staff was also the sweetest and accommodated with any needs. Hasan was the best and helped us out a lot! Would definitely return to this hotel when visiting again.
