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.

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 .

Leider fällt mein Fazit nicht so gut aus. Das Zimmer war schon sehr klein, mit Mühe und Not hat man zwei Koffer aufstellen können. In der Beschreibung hat es deutlich größer ausgesehen. Das Bad wurde leider auch nicht gründlich gereinigt. Nach dem Zimmerservice lagen sehr viele Haare im Bad auf dem Boden. Sorry, aber ich würde es nicht weiter empfehlen.

The hotel is located on a very busy cafe and shopping street so access to local facilities was very convenient. Because it's busy it can be a bit noisy at night, but not unlike other cities. We got used to it and enjoyed the position and the amazing view of the Galata. The room was very comfortable and spacious with good storsge and a FANTASTIC shower! Other parts of Istanbul were easily reached by walking, ferries, or trams. I highly recommend a stay here and book a room with a balcony so you can soak it all up from high anove!

Lots of shops & restaurants in the area, many open late. Colorful murals all around, and many beloved street cats (and a few dogs). FYI If you like to go to bed early, this is not a quiet neighborhood. The hotel is very cute, and the staff friendly. There is an elevator, but there are several steps required to get to it.

Galata’da favorimiz

Arkadaşımla birlikte birkaç gece kaldık. Gerek çalışanların yardımseverliği gerek güleryüzlülük olsun hepsi bizden tam puan aldı. Odamız tertemizdi ve konforluydu. Konum olarak mükemmel. Galata kulesine 100 metre mesafede. Konum olarak metro istasyonuna, istiklal caddesine, karaköy’e çok yakın ve hepsine ulaşım çok kolay. Tek şikayetiniz geç saatlere kadar süren sokaktan gelen sesler yani gürültü olabilir ama biz bundan hiç rahatsız olmadık çünkü zaten turistik bir yerde olduğumuzu hissettirdi bu bize. Odada tv yok, sıcak su her zaman var, otelin kapısından girdiğinizde sağ tarafta küçük bir oturma alanı var ve istediğiniz zaman oradan ücretsiz kahve temin edebiliyorsunuz, küçük bir şey gibi görünse de aslında misafiri çok mutlu eden bir detay bence. Tekrar gelmeyi düşünüyoruz.
