World House Boutique Hotel Galata Reviews

I cannot think of a better place to stay than World House Boutique Hotel, when in Istanbul. The location, room, service and view from the room is fantastic. When checking in and out, we got given a complimentary coffee. The hotel has an coffee shop on the street that stays open until late at night and opens early in the morning. It is has great coffee and desserts. The rooms are beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The staff are extremely helpful, accommodating and friendly. The Galata Tower is 1 minute walk from the hotel and the rooms have a view of the tower. I highly recommend this hotel.

The best part of this Panoramic 2bedrooms is the view of the Galata Tower but it only has one bathroom for the 2rooms. And also there’s not lift and need to walk up to 5th level. Also when u book a taxi back to the hotel, the taxi drivers will refuse to drop u off right in front of ur hotel giving excuses that it’s heavy traffics. Please consider booking this hotel especially when you have elderly people .

The hotel staff upon check-in is very polite and attentive, this should be noted!!!!! Question for management! Check-in was after 19.00 in rooms 105 and 205, saying that there were no more rooms available. The rooms have single glazing with simple windows. The room is so noisy! that there is a feeling of no windows at all. We could not sleep, falling asleep at 2 am and getting up at 4.30 from the fact that there was a minaret 2 steps away, the call of believers to prayer completely woke us up. In the room you could hear someone on the street crushing a plastic bottle and talking quietly. These rooms are not suitable for living and the hotel cannot have a 4 star rating. The next morning I argued with the hotel manager and they kindly moved me to the other side. A high rating can only be given to those who live in rooms on the other side. As a consequence of this nightmare, we slept almost the entire next day, and that was all we had to explore the city. Cleanliness: The curtains in these rooms were saturated with dust and grayness. Room 303, which we were moved to later, was better. Room cleaning by staff is good. The location is good for a store, not a hotel.

We only stayed for one night and liked the area. The hotel is very close to the Galata Tower and Istiklal Avenue. We were given a welcome drink and two large cakes when we arrived at the hotel. Fruits, nuts and minibar were all free in the room, but there was no breakfast.
