Not what it used to be
The café at the entrance detracts from the hotel style. Only the front rooms have good views. The rest are dark and dreary. Decor needs a refresh. Shower needs maintenance to control and eliminate mould. Only one small bottle of water is complimentary; thise in the fridge are charged to your account.

It don't even know why this hotel has a 4-star rating; it doesn't even deserve one star. The rooms smell terrible, and the bathrooms are equally unpleasant. We felt the need to leave the room quickly. The only advantage of this hotel is its location, but I wouldn't recommend staying here just for that, because it smells bad everywhere, even in the corridors. We booked the hotel for 3 nights and spent most of our time outside, as we didn't feel like going back to the hotel, so we only stayed for a couple of hours to sleep.

The property is old and needs some slight restoration but everything is clean and the staff is very friendly and serviceable. And then the location is the best one in Istanbul right in front of the iconic Galata Tower and dozens of restaurants and shops.

The room was supposed to be a deluxe twin. It was a tiny , dated room with damp patches on the bathroom ceiling. The ceiling also leaked at one stage although it was repaired straight away . We had a very small balcony but there were cigarette butts all in the plant pots ,and the net curtain smelt of smoke. we don’t smoke . Having said that the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the breakfast room view was amazing , overlooking the Galata tower

My experience at the Anemon Hotel Galata
Location was not bad for young people, but not ideal for my elderly mother to walk to the Metro station or walk up the hill towards Taksim! Seating area outside the Hotel was not comfortable and very narrow to have coffee or smoke, it was not convenient at all especially for old people! The good side was the staff, and their hospitality, they always smile, especially staff in the bar and in the reception area as well as the managers. Overall staying at this hotel was good but not ideal. Last thing, I would like to mention about the Top Roof Restaurant, we were very unhappy because they were always telling us it is full & there's no seating for us outside only in the inside with dark lighting, although they are aware that my mother is partially blind, and we are guests in the Hotel! P.S. Rooms should be more clean and there should always be inspection regarding electricity and broken things, i.e. showers etc.

Location is perfect as is the evening entertainmen
Location is litterally next to the tower - you can not get closer. We had our small balcony right next to it so was great for people watching. Check in could have been better, more friendly and welcoming.( we had just moved from the whitehouse hotel - which was beyond friendly). Live jazz in the wine bar downstairs was great & the Wine bar manager was first class. Accomodating a nut allergy excellently. The roof restaurant is awesome for sunset dinner and drinks - overlooking the tower square or istanbal. Great views.

Location location location!
Great location, standard double room, river view with one bed is tiny. The bed takes up the entire room! Nice bathroom, very low water pressure on the 4th floor though. Rooms are dated, but a great view of Istanbul from room 406! If you’re only staying for one night or two, it’s a good hotel to rest your head. It’s a very busy tourist location, Galata Tower is your next door neighbor. Although it is a busy area, the street noise didn’t carry up to our room, even with the windows open, and we were able to get a good night’s sleep, but we only stayed for one night.

Location, views and helpful staff
A comfortable bolt-hole for our city exploring. Maybe not for be spending great amounts of time in but its location is convenient and easy to find - either a very steep but short walk from Galata Bridge for the fit and energetic or an even shorter walk from Sishane on the level for those who aren't. Galata is a bohemian, gentle area that is buzzing with life until the small hours with street cafes, dancing and buskers. So some noise is potential for those staying but it is rarely overly intrusive or disruptive. Hotel reception staff were massively helpful in arranging a full day tour for us and also booking us into a hammam that would serve men and women at the same time (in different parts of course). In fact, the hammam bath booking was done by a staff member on the morning of their day off - to which we were immensely grateful. One small negative was the smell of stagnant drain water emitting from the bathroom. Nothing an open window, a bit of AC and closing the bathroom door couldn't solve it in a couple of minutes. Easily solved and only sleeping there so we didn't complain. Overall for the views both from the room and the restaurant, the ease of finding it at the end of a long tiring day exploring, the great service from hotel staff it is a good choice for the active tripper. We would return.

Service at the hotel is mostly nice and effective. Clean room, and the breakfast is ok and served at the rooftop providing good views of the city. The room I stayed was dark, and the technical installations didn’t match the expectations. During the weekends can be challenging to fall asleep due to high music.

My favorite hotel ever
We arrived after 3 am but the front desk staff was ready for us, and very accommodating (and they spoke perfect English). Our room was immaculate with views of the tower. Breakfast was delicious, with an incredible variety of Turkish breakfast foods, very similar to what we'd been served by our Turkish friends in their homes. And the VIEW from the 5th floor! Amazing, especially at sunset. The neighborhood is filled with reasonably-priced shops & restaurants. Can't say enough good things about this hotel. One of the finest we've ever stayed in. Hated to leave, but they also arranged punctual & friendly transport to Atatürk Airport when the time came.
