Galataport Suites

The rooms were filthy, and everything felt sticky. There was barely any toilet paper, and a used towel was still hanging there. If you’re staying on a weekend, forget about sleeping. It gets super loud.

Cool.

The room I got was tiny, no more than 15 m², even though the listing said 42 m². The air conditioning didn’t work, and the heat made the stay unbearable. The photos on Booking.com were nothing like the actual place, which felt like a scam. When I complained about the inaccurate information, the owner was extremely unfriendly and got aggressive. I left right away and found somewhere else to stay. I’ve booked through Booking.com for years and never had this kind of problem. I can’t understand how a guesthouse like this is still offered on the platform. I strongly advise everyone to avoid it.

The management was very accommodating and tried to meet our requests. The location is wonderful, right in the center where there’s always plenty going on, and for the price the value was excellent. We’re two young women who stayed here alone for nine nights and had no complaints. You shouldn’t expect five-star amenities at this price if you want to keep expenses down. I’ll definitely come back.
