World House Boutique Hotel Galata

This hotel was such a great find. The kindest staff, affordable rates, right on the main street of Galata Tower. I came for work and was able to work in their lovely downstairs sitting room.

The stay was great! The location is fantastic, close to the Galata tower and near Istiklal street, lots of food options nearby. There’s a cafe downstairs which has the best San Sebastián cheesecake (better than the more “famous” ones nearby. Being an old building, rooms with a street view are a little noisier at night, but nothing too crazy and no disturbed sleep. But really what made this place exceptional was the staff. Murat was always very helpful and Ismail went above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. Ismail’s recommendations were excellent, his advice and help on how to get around was invaluable. There was no request that was too much and the kindness and generosity was unparalleled.

The hotel is unique and chic, rooms is spacious and view is exceptional. The staff is really friendly and helpful, the receptionist Egnir was truly amazing, he helped us through out the stay with any essentials we needed, provided some good recommendations/tips and finally arranged for our transportation hassle free. The overall is experience is pleasant and worthy.

Location is perfect. Rooms are tastefully decorated and despite being on a busy street we found it very quiet.Staff are very good in particular Ismael who is always trying to ensure everything is perfect for you. Coffee in the morning is complimentary on check in and check out,with freshly baked croissants. Both are excellent. Complimentary apples and soft drinks in the room. I can completely recommend the hotel.

Superb view over Galata Tower from my room. The hotel is easily accessible from any spot in Beyoglu neighborhood, the old Pera. The most important is that we managed to get to the hotel from the new airport using the two metro lines with minimal effort. From Sishane (M2) metro station to the hotel you only have to walk 10 minutes. Try to take the Istiklal exit from the station. When coming from the Galata bridge area us the Tunel funicular. The hotel it´s an old building, in fact two, carefully renovated to act as a small hotel. The only missing amenity was an elevator to take you to your floor after a whole day of strolling on the city streets. The staff is very helpful and always ready to give you advice for any matter. I spite of being a boutique hotel with few rooms the reception desk is staffed 24/7. For those arriving by car two big parking places are within 100m range, one outdoor right at the Galata Tower and a big multistorey garage on Ilk Belediye Caddesi.
