The place is quiet and clean. The staff is very cooperative, especially Mr. Salim, who is very cooperative. The location is very close to Galata Tower, in addition to the fact that the breakfast is very good and the hotel owner reviews all the details herself, and the breakfast employee is very cooperative and kind and fulfills your requests even before you ask for them.

We stayed at Hotel Momento Golden Horn for three nights (Feb 7-10) and had a fantastic experience. The location is perfect, close to major sights with easy access to public transport. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view of the Golden Horn. Breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options. The staff was super friendly and helpful—special thanks to Sinan, Harun, and Sokan for their amazing hospitality! Overall, a great hotel with excellent service. We’d definitely stay here again!

Galata Tower
Medieval Galata Tower pierces the clouds above Istanbul’s skyline, a soaring sentinel to the north of the Golden Horn. A replacement for a previous tower that was destroyed in the crusades, this one was built by the Genoese in 1348. or hundreds of years, it was the tallest building in Istanbul – and its uppermost balcony still offers unrivalled city views today.

The place has amazing vibes with the cafes surrounding the tower and the cobbled streets and all but the crowd is just crazy. Everyone wants a pic there for whatever reason and they are a painful hindrance to enjoying the place

It's good that they have installed a set of lifts to get to the top of the tower. So you are not walking up too many steps. Best to get there early or towards sunset to see spectacular views with the mosques and the sea across Istanbul.

Definitely a must.
Definitely a must. Go in the early evening as the night lights are awesome. Museum Pass is a must - this is one of the places you can visit with it. I bought a 5 day pass for 700 TL at Topkapi Palace.

I always thought that this is only a tower, you go up, see the landscape and that is all.
I was totally wrong because there is a very nice and interactive museum inside the tower. I highly recommend it.

I had a fantastic stay at P. Galata Boutique Hotel! The location is perfect, close to Galata Tower and many great spots in Istanbul. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. Everything was well-maintained, and the overall atmosphere was great. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
The hotel was conveniently located seconds away from Taksim’s main shopping street and within walking distance to the Galata Tower and many other attractions. The staff were lovely and willing to go above and beyond to help with anything. The breakfast was incredibly good value for money and delicious. The room was beautiful, stylish, spacious, clean and had all amenities you could need. I also loved the little chow chow dog that was there everyday! He was so cute!!
A hotel conveniently located near all amenities and shops around Galata Tower. The rooms are well-maintained, and a special thanks to the reception staff, who are exceptionally helpful and kind. I will return without hesitation and highly recommend this establishment.
The only downside is that on the fifth floor, there is a strong odor in the room.
Thank you guys !!!
Great location, near Galata tower, Galata port and especially taksim square. Good humored and well behaved staff! There is also terrace on the top of the hotel which is great. Thank you so much
The hotel has a great location near Galata Tower, making it easy to explore the city by tram, metro, or on foot. The rooms are decent, and the staff is helpful. Special thanks to Mr. Emre (we think that was his name) for the free room upgrade. A good option for a stay in Istanbul.
We really wanted to choose a hotel with a view of the Galata Tower, so we stayed here for our overnight stay in Istanbul. We were upgraded to a room. The rooms are large enough, there is no view of the Galata Tower from the windows, but the restaurant terrace, where breakfast is served, offers a stunning view of the tower and seagulls hovering nearby. The hotel staff is very attentive and welcoming, the breakfasts are very plentiful and delicious.
Hotel is very good. Room, staff, breakfast, everything is very good. Hotel is five meters from Sishane metro station. You can use metro from Istanbul Airport to Gayrettepe station. After that, use another metro from Gayrettepe to Sishane. No need for taxi. It takes 15 minutes to get to Karakoy tram station (Galata bridge). From there, you can go to Sultanahmet. Galata tower and Istiklal street is not far away (5 minutes walking).
The hotel is near to the main attractions in Istanbul. I can walk to Gulhane Park, Tokkapi museum, Aya Sofia mosque, Blue mosque, Galata Bridge, Galata Tower, Eminonu ferry terminal. The staff are very friendly.
Very clean place, we booked a 4 bedroom apartment and were surprised there were also 4 bathrooms.
The location is phenomenal, near Galata Tower, Istiklal Street and Taksim Square. There was a pharmacy right there, lots of stores, restaurants just walking distance. The host was very, very kind, helped us with everything. Will definitely return when visiting Istanbul.
Would also recommend it to parents with children, the streets nearby were manageable with strollers.

We visited the Galata Tower at lunch time and enjoyed a great meal with a table at the window. Our soup and salad were good and the view and atmosphere were great. Much better than being crowded onto the narrow deck above.

Absolutely yes! Istanbul is open restaurant.
Absolutely yes! Istanbul is open restaurant. In every corner you can find perfect meal. Good to try fish restaurant in Bosphorous, or in Çiçek Pasajı. And also good to try restaurants in Maiden or Galata Tower with perfect city view. What it can be better than that!
