10/10 Excellent

We had a great stay at Nordstern hotel. Strategic location, near public transport, the Galata tower and Galata bridge. The rooms have a nice vintage style decor with high ceilings while the bathroom is very modern (a smart choice). Our room was very clean and neat. The breakfast is buffet style with many savoury and sweet options. But the best part of the hotel is the excellent staff: they are very warm, kind, attentive, and professional. They really made us feel at home. Our airport transfer service was arranged smoothly and the contact with the hotel manager and reception was easy. We really liked the small attentive gestures from the staff: we were offered cold water when we arrived (apart from the bottled water in the rooms), and when we came back to our room after a long (warm!) day, we saw a bottle of ice cold water and normal bottled water. We would also like to thank the kitchen staff for the Turkish coffee, and they also offered to make us an omelette for breakfast, very kind. A big thank you to the staff! I would stay here again and I would recommend this hotel to everyone who wants to feel at home in a neat hotel at a great location with excellent staff. Hopefully till next time.

2/10 Terrible

This hotel with amazing views and location where I stayed for two nights on there room 401 where is a nice room with balcony but! A big but, when they gave me the room AC was off and room was hot they told me it will cool down, I left for several hours and thinking it will be perfectly cold but coming back it was barely cold, told this to reception multiple times, they were overall very good to communicate but the problem of this rooms ac (although seems like a central ac system which I looked for before I booked) was not performing normally and needed repair. I kindly asked for a sensible refund of the portion of my stay. Still haven’t heard back anything. I wouldn’t stay there again because they basically gamble and give you a room, expecting the guests to eat up all the problems of the rooms/stay.

Great stay lovely staff!

We stayed here for 6 nights and had a very comfortable stay. The staff are all super helpful and attentive. We were upgraded to a better room free of charge due to the length of our stay. Gül was lovely and friendly every morning when we went to have breakfast. Thank you to the entire team ! Highly recommend the hotel

Mohammad reza, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Location is convenient: next to the Galata Bridge (shops, restaurants and the Galata Tower on one side, all the big monuments and museums on the other side). It is a bit noisy. The rooms look great, although cleaning can be improved. One day the drainage of the shower wasn’t working, the next day there was no hot water. These are the basics of hotels, which didn’t work. The old guy at the reception said that he knew that there was no hot water, but he was probably too proud to apologize. The younger personnel was friendly and very helpful.

Ramadan, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

I had the best stay at Galata Nordstern! The room was comfortable, though it could use a little update—some fittings in the bathroom were a bit worn, like the broken toilet seat and towel bar. That said, I didn’t mind too much because everything else made up for it. I loved the lively outdoor sounds, the convenience of nearby food, and the fun walk to Galata Port and Hagia Sophia. The staff was incredible, especially when they surprised me with a delicious cake on my birthday! Breakfast was simple but fine, and the rooftop views with chai were breathtaking. Overall, a wonderful experience—I’ll definitely be back!

The status of the wooden floor was a disaster with splintered boards lifted and ready to cause serious wounds to your feet. The cleanliness was good and the personnel very friendly.
Marcello, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel was nice, with comfy beds and big rooms. My room had splendid a view to the Galata Tower. Staff is always ready to help, they even brought a plate of fruit as welcome. Breakfast was good with a fabulous terrace, but with only basic options, you should add yogurt and more sweet pastries. The tram stop is in front of the hotel which is very convenient, or you can cross the bridge and easily walk to the historical center.
