Cute boutique hotel right in the heart of Galata. The room was comfortable and bright. The staff was amazing and gave us some great recommendations. There were so many thoughtful touches including Christmas cookies. Would definitely stay there again!
This was our second time staying at the world boutique in Istanbul. It’s such a great location with shopping and restaurants in the Galata Towers. The hotel staff is amazing. We would definitely stay here again. We love the boutique hotel. It’s not just your average hotel they have a great little coffee shop with yummy bakery items
Great location. Very friendly staff. This is a VERY small hotel. Only real issue, which is outside the hotel’s control, is that it is right next to a mosque, which blares the morning call to prayer over loudspeakers at sunrise every day, which was 5:12am when we visited. It goes on for a long time and is impossible to sleep through. Beware if you don’t plan to get up at that time.
Tastefully decorated well located hotel with really friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is smack and in the middle of Galata area with easy access to shops, restaurants and transport links. The staff are super helpful and kind and the rooms are comfortable, stylish and clean as well as being exceptional value for money. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a good value boutique option in a lively area. To note - as it’s well located in a busy area the streets were a little noisy at night esp on Fri and Saturday and it’s also located next door to a mosque but I love to hear the call to prayer so this didn’t bother me.
My stay couldn’t have been better - warmly welcomed, impeccable room with great design, AC worked great, very helpful staff, comfortable bed. Excellent location on narrow shopping street with restaurants and very close to Galeta Tower. Easy walk to other side of the River to the Grand Bazaar and all the other large attractions. Would definitely stay there again!

Charming small hotel in central location. We had a deluxe room on the 4th floor (401) with ‘partial sea view’ and balcony. The room was small, the balcony was nice but there is no sea view. It’s also important to call out that there is no elevator so we had to climb 79 steps up and down each time we left the room. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We would recommend the hotel but suggest requesting a room on a lower floor if you have any health or other concerns related to the stairs and skip the partial sea view room option.
This boutique hotel is located in the bustling, vibrant Galata area. The room was perfect for my husband, myself, and my teenaged daughter, with a separate sitting area with twin bed for her. The room was mostly quiet except for call to prayer, which does happen in the middle of the night but didn’t really bother us. Also one night there was a party in the building across from us which was loud. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They organized travel from the airport and laundry service both of which were reasonably priced. The only problem is that the air conditioning units didn’t work well and it was incredibly hot in Istanbul when we were there. Also the coffe shop downstairs had limited options for breakfast. All in all it was a good hotel for a good price.
Erkan Bey was very friendly and helpful welcoming us to Istanbul. Murat Bey helped us with recommendations and transportation around the city. Overall their hospitality is above and beyond and a great example of Turkish hospitality.
You cannot beat this location in the middle of Gelata. Walk about 7-8 mins to the tram station to connect to the main areas as well. Sultanahmet is 4 stops away and iskitlal street is 5 mins from the hotel too.
However, the property has no lift and the rooms are a bit cramped and infrastructure is old and needs to be done up for sure.
Nice small hotel near the Galata tower. Room pluses: good air conditioning, clean, comfortable bed. Minuses: no storage, very small and a very loud call to prayer at 5:30 in the morning.
The neighborhood was great; close to everything, we felt very safe and found terrific eating options close by.
The staff was amazing, friendly, attentive, helpful. They were easy to communicate with before and during our stay. They helped us arrange transportation and a tour guide which were excellent. They answered our questions and helped us feel home in a new city. The rooms were clean and spacious. We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay here again in the future.
This is a great hotel in a great location. A few mins walk away from Galata tower and istiklal ave. Staffs were very nice and accommodating. Room was nice and clean. Highly recommend this boutique hotel
