Galata Dream Hotel

My experience stay with Galata Dream in total has been excellent. On my first day to Galata Dream Hotel although I felt really exhausted from the rush hour trip from Kuala Lumpur to Doha then to this place Istanbul. What amazed me is that, the staffs from the reception in the hotel was friendly. Public Transportation such as like; UBER was so convenient from IST (New Istanbul International Airport). That cost around TLR400 an hour and 30 minutes from the Centre of town in Istanbul, Turkyie, Galata.

There is some pros and cons about this hotel that in particular of my 4 days experience about this Galata Dream Hotel. But, before I start saying about my experience about this hotel, here are the convivence I can say about the hotel itself. Public Transportation is nearby, Staffs from the hotel lobby is super friendly and a, 25 minutes walk to the Bophorous coast link between Asia to Europe bridge.

Talking about the advantages of Galata:
1. Public Transportation nearby like; Taxis, Buses and Trains (Metro)
2. Restaurants nearby like; Turkish, Thai and Japanese cuisines.
3. Metro stations are nearby via 5 minutes walking of the station of Sishane.
4. Want to go clubbing to listen a Turkish traditional way of playing Jazz, Nardis Jazz Club near by via 5-10 minutes walk expensive but okay.
5. Taksim Square of Istanbul, near by to Galata by transport 10 minutes walking 10-20 minutes.
6. Arts and Crafts of Istanbul tourism nearby.
7. Medication Aids such as; Pharmacy nearby.

Talking about the disadvantages of Galata:
1. Ripped off taxi fares
2. Dangerous too cross the main street to get into Sishane bus station.
3. No proper cross walks
4. Reckless drivers

Please note this:
If you are going to Istanbul or any other place please make sure you have a Istanbul tourism card with you it's just TLR70.00 and load how much balance you need in the card. It's very useful for public transports like; The Bosphorous boat tour, Bus, Public Toilet, Tourist attractions, Trams and Metro.

Wow .I have been traveling to Istanbul
many years and I can say this is best place I stayed so far.. I highly recommend this place.The reception people are so nice and helpful.Rooms are so clean and light. Close to everywhere.

The rooms are very different in size so make sure to book one of the bigger instead of with a terrace. The force of this small hotel is 1) its location with only 15 minutes walk to two interesting parts of Istanbul and, not least 2) its VERY friendly and service minded staff. The internet speed is rather slow so consider buying a cheap sim-card and go mobile for data.

It was quite great. Very friendly and professional staff. Housekeeping was in high standards. The location is perfect to walk around Beyouglu and Golden Horn. Very close to Taksim Square and the Metro Stations.

Nice cozy hotel with very friendly staff. I got a room upgrade free of charge which was very kind. The guys at the reception always helped me with the stroller, ordered taxi and gave recommendations on how to get to certain places

We had a perfect stay at the Galata Dream Hotel. First of all, the staff was very nice and hospitable. Always with a smile so that we felt happy and welcomed. They were helpful and there for every need of us. Thanks to them our stay in the hotel was enjoyable.
Our room was very clean and comfortable. We had a perfect view from our balcony. The location is central and near to the Galata Tower and the Haliç Bridge.
Overall, it was a great experience. I can only recommend the Galata Dream Hotel. Would definitely stay there again! Thanks for everything!
