Would stay again.
Fun stay at the Palazzo hotel with my family. Room was perfect and a good size, it took a while to check in and we had to wait for about 30m in the lobby. Staff were great and the location was very good. We thought the view from the window was interesting, and occasionally the hotel was quite loud. Would come again.

Great location close to restaurants, shopping and bars, a stylish historic hotel, huge breakfast choice and friendly staff. Super big bed, quality towels and huge shower too. Pillows variable. We felt Galata was the perfect area to be for our 4 night trip. 2 mins to underground station.

This is an amazing experience!
If you want to feel like a guest in the palace of a king/sultan - I’d highly recommend. What a slice of amazing history. Perfectly preserved and kept by the amazing staff. Walking in through the doors feels like being teleported back in time.
Do not miss a chance to experience a stay here while you are traveling through Istanbul

The hotel and room look beautiful. It has a great terrace upstairs and a beautiful lobby for great memory pictures. The staff was very helpful. They gave us room prepared for the child.
The only problem was smoking was coming from the other room and then later it was a construction very noisy. Also, the bathroom was pretty messy. The shower did not work well.

Definitely Stay Here.
I visit Istanbul often and I thinknI have found my new go-to hotel. The room was spacious, clean and well-appointed. It is just minutes from Istiklal Avenue and there are many good restaurants in the area.

This hotel is a hidden jam if you consider its decor, location and price. It’s indeed an Italian palazzo, and if you like the style, it’s your choice! I expected the hotel to be dated but it’s recently renovated or very well maintained. Wonderful breakfast on the roof with the city and Bosporus view. The location is in the heart of the city, you can walk to almost everywhere.

Istanbul Vacation
The Hotel is central, location is cool, about a minute or two walk to the famous Istaklal street. Lot of bars and restaurants within a few hundred meters. However, the hotel needs maintenance and deep cleansing!!! Breakfast was just ok, house keeping just ok!!

Hotel has a lot of potential, however we were unable to enjoy our stay due to the temperature of our room. A/c advertised but was not available (I suspect they simply did not want to turn it on). Room window faced inside the building so it was very dark and we couldn't cool the room naturally. It never dropped below 27.5°C. Could not use swimming pool as a swimming cap is needed which they charge quite a lot for if you do not have your own.
