Maravilloso Hotel Galata

Simple but very nice and cozy boutique hotel. Very warm welcome by super sweet and friendly owner, who speaks English very well, too. Comfortable bed/mattress and good shower. Perfect location, right in the middle of the beautiful old town and therefore with plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants nearby. Highly recommended for budget travelers!

We didn’t actually stay in same building, we moved to another one as the booked one didn’t have elevator or lobby and there is no 24/7 desk. They’re very friendly.

Small, cozy, bright rooms, nicely done and well quipped with everything you need. The A/C worked brilliantly, and the beds were the most comfy beds we stayed in, during our entire 2 week long trip in Turkey! I loved the bathroom decor. Overall modern with a rustic touch. There is no elevator, but the team there was so helpful and helped carry our bags up to our rooms. No breakfast provided, but lots of lovely restaurants and cafes in the vicinity. The location is so central - steps away from Galata Tower on one side and Istiklal Street on the other. I absolutely love this area of Istanbul - magical! Volkan was exceptionally nice - so helpful and accommodating. He helped get us and our bags from a nearby Airbnb we had checked out of due to some issues, and brought us to his hotel. The best stay for our last night in Istanbul - I wish we had such good sleep on all nights! I won't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone who'd like to stay in this hip & cool area of town!

Wonderful stay in a perfect location, the host was so helpful and even helped us to book a taxi!

The hotel is centrally located. There is no staff, but you get a code to the door, which was fine for us. But the room, especially the bathroom, had a strong smell of mold. We could feel it in our lungs after two nights and woke up with headaches. We would not recommend anyone to sleep in that room.

The room was small but clean , it was a renovated room, the problem is there is no elevator and you need to climb up so many steps to get to the room, so if you have heavy luggage you need to reconsider your stay here. The hotel is in the great location , just 1 mins to galata tower and 2 mins walk to istiklal street.

I stayed in this hotel with my sister when I came for a treatment. The room appeared as featured on the website. The staff changed towels every day and bed sheets upon request. The owner, Yasin, provided us with very helpful recommendations on sightseeing and where to eat. The hotel was located in a great neighborhood and the room was clean.

Great place to stay. I've experienced other ones which are located nearby, compared to them Maravilloso is the best one. Hope to stay there again.
