I recently stayed at Hotel Des Arts Galata, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Everything about the hotel was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel itself was spotless, with well-maintained rooms and common areas. The attention to cleanliness and detail really stood out.

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 .

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.

A Regrettable Disappointment

This hotel was a disappointment. They market themselves at a 4-star standard online but I'd rate them closer to 2-star. We were excited for our stay because of how cute the room seemed online when we booked. However, the hotel was obviously not operating at a professional standard. It was in rather shabby condition and the hallway was being used for storage. When we first got into our room, the toilet had a broken seat. The hotel was also very stingy on towels, providing only 1 set for two people the second night. When we requested more towels they smelled strongly of vinegar and were unusable. The disposable slippers provided smelled of toxic, noxious chemicals and we therefore did not use them. The staff were not unfriendly but the hotel was not run to the professional standard of a hotel claiming to be 4-star. To their credit, the room was cute and almost as-shown in the photos, albeit a tad tired and worn. They provided bottled water in the fridge, which was appreciated. For comparison, earlier in our trip we stayed in Sultanahmet at a similar price point and received excellent service in a spotless hotel that was very professionally managed.

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.

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
