The room was very cute and the balcony was small but had a perfect view of the Galata tower. It was a bit loud at night but so worth it for the location. the entire staff was SO nice and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is located on a very busy cafe and shopping street so access to local facilities was very convenient. Because it's busy it can be a bit noisy at night, but not unlike other cities. We got used to it and enjoyed the position and the amazing view of the Galata. The room was very comfortable and spacious with good storsge and a FANTASTIC shower! Other parts of Istanbul were easily reached by walking, ferries, or trams. I highly recommend a stay here and book a room with a balcony so you can soak it all up from high anove!

Lots of shops & restaurants in the area, many open late. Colorful murals all around, and many beloved street cats (and a few dogs). FYI If you like to go to bed early, this is not a quiet neighborhood. The hotel is very cute, and the staff friendly. There is an elevator, but there are several steps required to get to it.

I recently stayed at Hotel Des Arts Galata, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Everything about the hotel was fantastic. The staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always willing to help, which made my stay even more enjoyable. The hotel itself was spotless, with well-maintained rooms and common areas.

The Hotel Des Artes in Galata was in a fantastic location. Just steps from the beautiful tower, and so close to many shops, cafés and restaurants. The hotel itself is a beautiful old building, and the rooms are full of cute vintage touches. The staff, especially Siren, we’re all friendly. The breakfast provided was at a café a few steps away, and was excellent.
