Galata Tower Vip Apartment Suites

galata tower vip apartment suites

I've been here for weekend in February. Hotel was chosen for location near galata tower, walking distance to karakoy, galata bridge. My purpose was walk around and have nice food and Ive got it.
Great terrace with galata view!
Minus is lavatory leakage, no window view)) quite expensive 130euro 2 nights

We stayed here for 5 nights, the appartment was very spacious and comfortable however the facilities that were advertised as the washing machine and tv didnt work and the answer we got from the reception was it will be fixed tomorrow however nothing happend ! The shower drain was blocked and they only supplied one set of towels which for 5 days isnt really enough. However location was perfect and very safe easy access to the metro as well as walkable distance to most of the big tourist attractions. The other problem is it was a very long expensive and complicated taxi ride from the airport due to the appartments sign not being clearly visible.

My husband, adult daughter and i stayed in the Galata Tower apartments in September 2013. It was our first time in Istanbul and we enjoyed the place greatly. The area is fascinating, and the apartment was fine. We were on the second floor and a higher flat might have been nicer, but nothing was available. The management was a little hard to find sometimes but extremely accommodating once we located them. We could never get either the safe nor the tv to work, but neither was very important to us. We hope to visit again!

Galata Tower History

Seen from a distance you might think that it’s just a tower, a little tower at that. Located 35 meters above sea level with its nine floors, the tower is 67 metres high. Built in 1348 It was destroyed, rebuilt, restored, decorated with a dome and here it stands a magnificent vantage point across the city and Bosphorus. There are thousands of stories about the tower. The legend goes that a man named Hezarfen Ahmed Çelebi built himself golden eagle wings and sprang from the tower, gliding all the way to Üsküdar on the Asian side of the Bosphorus. According to the legend his brother did the trip in reverse in a rocket filled with gunpowder. Eminent university researchers have tried to demonstrate the
impossibility of these flights but the legend lives on.

Galata Tower Restaurant

You want to enjoy a meal in one of the most unexpected places, the most romantic, the most unusual of all Istanbul? Book your table in therestaurant located in the tower. You will even be served a biscuit in the shape of the tower with your coffee. The view is amazing by day and dazzling by night.

I recommend you to go to the cafeteria, which occupies the top floor of the tower. Coffee prices are not excessive, but the dinner menu, but includes show last thread is for 60 €, as the food and entertainment are 100% designed for the Western tourist, there is not any Turkish except restaurant workers.

The restaurant Galata Tower is the most suitable for those looking for a romantic dinner in the heart of Istanbul. The menu is varied and the view is breathtaking. Advise the menu the chef's specials that are based on typical dishes of Turkish-Ottoman. Try the delicious meatballs stuffed with grated cheese or a stylish Ottoman "Shish Kebap" Turkish specialty. If you make it a point to try this place, be sure to book in advance, because this place is very crowded. Bon Appetite!
