The Wilson Galata Hotel

The location was exceptional, the hotel charming, and the team and welcome were first‑rate. The room was spacious with a big, comfortable bed and a hot shower. The pastries at breakfast on the small terrace overlooking the street were very good. Everything was fine.

“Perfect location!”

I found the place spotless and everything I needed was always available, but the shower had a small crack, the toilet flush was a bit clunky, and the TV was a little glitchy—nothing major, though.

The location was excellent. The ceiling was a bit in bad condition, otherwise everything was impeccable.

“A great little hotel in a brilliant position with comfortable rooms and a good bathroom.”

Getting there from the airport was easy by public transport and a short walk from the Metro; the street had a great vibe and the hotel was very close to Galata Tower with plenty of restaurants. The tram across the bridge brought us near the main sights and was easy to use. The price was good for such a convenient spot, though the hill in this part of Istanbul makes the walk back up to Galata steep, with some stepped roads that might be easier than the slopes, and the descent to the trams is also challenging because of the steepness. We were pleasantly surprised by how quiet the room was despite its central, busy location. The only downside was that the hotel could be missed because the reception and entrance are through a small café called Freddos; a sign for the hotel sticks out of the wall at the top of the café door, but the café name is more prominent than the hotel name. The receptionist was functional rather than friendly, but that didn’t deter us from staying.

“Bel hôtel bien placé avec un bon service.”

The boutique hotel hidden inside a café impressed us with its discreet vibe; the room was spacious and street noise was absent, and the staff, especially Toghrul, took great care of us and answered quickly. However, the paint was a bit worn, the shower head was slightly damaged, and the drain didn’t work well.
