I had a large, spacious room, stylish as befits a classical Galata building. Huge bed. The staff were efficient, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is on the roof, with fine views. It’s a normal Turkish hotel breakfast. The hotel is set on the Golden Horn and near lots of wonderful areas.

I had a pleasent stay here, all the front desk staff were lovely and very accommodating. The only downside is the street noise at night, it’s very centrally located steps away from Galata tower so can’t really complain! I would suggest booking a room facing the rear side or the building.

I really enjoyed my stay here at Nordstern Galata. The staff was incredibly nice every single one of them to include Ramadan, Ertugrul, Aziz, Onür and everyone! The room was ready way earlier than I expected and they were very friendly and hospitable! The view of my room was also amazing and it had a huge bathroom!

Bengü

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Definitely overrated. The room didn’t heat up I was freezing the whole night. Breakfast had very limited variety. I chose the room for the view, but the windows were so high that you can’t see anything unless you’re standing. There was a coffee machine in the room, but no capsules; the staff said they can’t provide them, and only after I got angry did they bring some from their manager’s supply.
