Galata Rasso Boutique Hotel

Stayed here for 3 nights and it’s a great little property, check in was simple and easy. The staff was always friendly and helpful. There is a restaurant attached to the property, we did not eat there but it looked good if you need a bite to eat. The hotel is within walking distance of public transport, sights such as the Galata tower, the Bosporus and so forth. Room itself was small, but it was clean and comfortable for two people.

Hotel management is very poor. During a 3 day stay, I spoke with 5 different receptionist and no hotel manager. Check-in late at night and apparently our room was occupied so was put in another room temporarily with little amenities. The following morning had to leave the luggages at reception until another room was ready in the afternoon. Little apologies or explanation give because staff speak very little English. Overall, the location is ok but it is on a loud commercial back street with lots of garbage. Rooms look nice on photos but in reality are quire scruffy and could do with some properly cleaning. Not recommended, not even for a low price, primarily because staff do not speak English so you cannot really complain or get things sorted out.

We stayed a few days in this hotel and had a very pleasant stay! The location was great and the staff were welcoming. The walk is a bit on the uphill but that applies for almost the whole of Istanbul. I would love to come back to this place. The view from our window was insane!

A cozy hotel property in the midst of electrical fittings market. The strenght of the property is the location! A stone's throw away from Galata Tower, 5 minutes walk to Shishne metro station, 10-15 minutes walk to Taksim square. Taksim is a busy nightlife, shopping, and dining area. Rooms are just fine for two pax. Bed is comfortable. Bathroom layout and size is fine. Room cleaning service is available. Kettle and coffee + tea sachets are available in the room. Roadside room view is a narrow cobbled lane with parked vehicles for loading and unloading of electrical material. Galata Tower tip is visible.

Brand new place! Some features are still being completed though nothing that interfered with my stay. I had a lovely room on the 3rd floor with a great view out the floor to ceiling windows. While it is well located right beside the busy Galata Tower area, my room was peaceful and quiet. I’d love to stay here again!

Amazing service! Great location!
