Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Galata Greenland Hotel from previous guests about their experience.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Galata Greenland Hotel's location, just steps away from the iconic Galata Tower and within easy reach of the Karakoy tram station for quick access to Sultanahmet. The spacious rooms, some offering tower views, come equipped with amenities like kettles, tea, and well-stocked minibars. Many appreciate the complimentary breakfast and the rooftop terrace, where the recently opened restaurant offers excellent food and amazing city views; however, some guests have noted that the bathrooms could use updating. The hotel offers great value, with some guests even receiving kind room upgrades.

convenient location and good service

good cleanliness excellent location helpful staff

I found the hotel very clean. the location was excellent. I walked to many attractions. the staff was helpful. They provided quick responses. my room got upgraded after a few days. It was a kind gesture.

The bathroom was small. It lacked shelving. this made organizing toiletries difficult. i also noticed some humidity in the bathroom. the sink seemed a bit clogged as well.

Dining

Breakfast offered varied options with both standard and daily specials. I liked that. the fifth-floor restaurant provides great city views, including a nice glimpse of the tower nearby. the experience was quite pleasant.

narrow street uncomfortable mattress

The hotel location was okay. It was near galata and public transport was a few minutes walk away.

my room was on the first floor, so it was pretty dark because the street is quite narrow. the mattress was not particularly comfortable. there was also a lack of plugs in the room. moreover, there's only one light controller next to the entrance door and not close to the bed.

charming stay near galata tower

great location kind staff beautiful room beautiful view

the location was special ,steps from galata tower. i found the reception staff kind and always ready to assist, even arranging a reasonably priced taxi to the airport. my room upgrade to a beautiful double room provided a comfortable space. the rooftop restaurant offered beautiful views of the galata tower , a good way to start the day.

i noticed the bathroom could use a little more light , especially since it felt a bit dim.

Adequate Stay Near Galata

great location attentive staff small room musty smell

The hotel's location is excellent, very close to the Galata Tower (it's just a short walk). The staff was also very nice and accommodating, they assisted me with directions and local recommendations.

The room I received was quite small (a bit smaller than I expected). the bathroom had a slight musty smell, which wasn't very pleasant (I noticed it each time I entered).
