Louis Appartements Galata, Istanbul

We chose the property base on Parking, which is a next door from the hotel, it was definitely very convenient for us!
Hotel located in the center. Couple of minutes walk to Galata Tower.

Absolutely amazing recommendation!
This beautiful boutique hotel makes your to feel like you, their family!
They gave us a lot of good recommendations about transportation and attractions !

Louis Appartements Galata was absolutely fantastic – beautiful, spotless, stylish, and very well maintained. The location couldn’t be better – just steps from the Galata Tower and about 200 meters from the metro, making it easy to explore the whole city.

The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and always ready to assist – whether with recommendations, transport, or anything else. They truly made us feel at home.

Highly recommended to anyone looking for comfortable and welcoming accommodation in a perfect location. We’d love to come back!

Small apartment but very functionally furnished. Very pleasant and helpful staff. The excellent location with fast connectivity to public transport ( tram, subway/metro)

Absolutely love this hotel. The staff are so welcoming, helpful and attentive. The room is spacious and the overall experience is one of the best I’ve had in Istanbul. This city is plagued with dodgy hotels, this one is outstanding. My second stay here and will definitely come back.

You’re 2 mins walk to Galata tower, so it can a tiny bit noisy but ensure you close your windows and you’ll be ok.

Great location, good recommendations by the friendly staff, pleasant quiet room even though it’s in the center, spacious living room, nice interior design and decoration.

Great location, next to the Galata tower. Restaurants nearby, plus a Migros jet to buy some essentials. The staff and service here were great, and the rooms were clean and functional. The team organised a birthday cake for us and they all really went above and beyond for us during our stay. Highly recommended if you want to base yourself in Galata and want to enjoy a smaller hotel experience.

Nothing at all.

Everything. Location, service, room size, staff. Great value for money

Great location for tourists. Close to metro and İstiklal Avenue.

Difficult for guests with a car. There is a private parking just in the next building. It costs about 15$ per day. But it is not easy to find a free parking spot there. Also the roads in the neighborhood are very narrow - just for experienced drivers.

Fantastic location gorgeous room stunning view

The flats are located just a few steps from the Galata Tower. Nearby is the metro station, a supermarket, pharmacy, restaurants and cafes. The staff is excellent, everything is very clean and nicely decorated. Highly recommended! We will be back.

Everything was fine

Great location, luxury rooms, excellent bed, competent and friendly staff, good location, quiet. We had the top floor apartment with balcony which was nice

We had a very nice welcome and introductory chat with tips on exploring Istanbul which was helpful. The room was very clean & comfortable and it was as described. We had a very small balcony, our view was mediocre, but we knew this when we booked this particular room. We like the location, for example walking to the Egyptian Spice Market is about 20 minutes. We could walk to the public transport to access all other parts of the city. There are restaurants and bars nearby, but it's also not far to walk to other areas (north or south) for more variation.

Nothing really, we were pleased with the stay

Location is great if first time in Istanbul. Galata area is quite touristic but nice location. Easy to get almost anywhere.

Istanbul is quite noisy. That has nothing to do with the hotel though... Area is for tourists, so a bit hard to find anything real local. After some research and walking there is plenty of nice options around. Just don't wait anything super real around Galata Tower.

Beautiful spacious room, comfortable king size bed. Loved the balcony, good central location, walking distance to a lot of key areas and to the metro station, lot's of places to eat and drink nearby, great view of Galata tower and Istanbul, staff were very helpful with recommendations and felt very welcome. Chocolates and Turkish delight on arrival, complimentary wine included on first night was nice!

Only two small bottles of water supplied each day, the rest you have to pay for - the mini bar is quite pricey. Recommend buying a large bottle of water from a store nearby. Basic facilities - no gym or breakfast included, so really just a place to stay, but was all we needed!

The location was great. We stayed 4 nights here in Galata and the 4 nights in Sirkeci, Fatih. Most of Fatih is far more touristy than Galata. I will only stay in Galata in the future. Although somewhat touristy also, Galata has a much more local neighbourhood feel with better restaurants nearby and far less aggressive vendors. Plus you are close to the Pera neighbourhood and all it offers and other Beyoglu neighbourhoods, and you're centrally located to easily access areas north to Taksim Square, the Bosphorus to the east, south across the Galata bridge to Fatih, and all ferries whether on the Beyoglu or Fatih side to the Asian/Anatolian side and up the Golden Horn. And the Louis apartments are perfectly located in Galata right down the street from the Galata tower. And the terrace and view looking directly at the Galata Tower are an added bonus! And on a finally on the positives...the King size bed in the Tower Suite was a really nice bonus and everyone on the Louis Appartements management team and staff were absolutely fabulous!

Everything was great with our apartment, but a few things if improved would make a difference. The terrace was an great feature for us, but the flowers and plants on the terrace were either dead or dying. Not a great look. The Appartement management knew this and had planned to address it. Although the hand held shower head in the shower was working and was just sufficient, the rain shower head was not. Not a big deal, but it seemed a plug had been removed on the main diverter which prevented water from being diverted to the rain shower head. They will fix this. And one of the chairs in front of the smaller than useful TV almost collapsed when my wife sat on it. She's 5' 1" and 115 lbs...so not a risk to furniture :-) They will fix this. And the one thing I didn't forgot to mention to management was the safe. It's on the floor of the amoire and not fastened in place. I'm less concerned about fastened in place, but I hate safes so low down. You have to get on your knees to properly put things in and take things out. Whether your 5' 1" like my wife or me at 6' 3"...it's a real pain! Plus it could be a little wider. And remember...Istanbul and in particulat the Galata/Beyoglu area has very hilly terrain...so if you have any mobility issues, it will be a real challenge for you. Regardless, we will stay at the Louis Appartements again!

The hosts at the Louis Apartments Galata are the most wonderful and friendly people. They were very welcoming and helpful with tips and lots of travel advice to support our sightseeing in Istanbul. Every time we met with them they would offer us tea, coffee and sweets. The location was excellent (really close to the Galata tower) and allowed us to walk to Istiklal Caddesi every night for dinner, fun, and people-watching. The apartment was large, clean, had all the modern conveniences that we needed, and was serviced by the cleaning staff every 2 days. The bathroom was clean, well-lit, and had a very nice shower with good water pressure. The kitchen in our apartment was small but had everything we needed to make quick coffees and small breakfasts/snacks. The couch was decent and provided a nice place to sit and relax after long days out. The TV seemingly received about 1000 channels, yet we did not watch it much.

Although the location is excellent (close to Istiklal and the Galata tower) its location near the top of a VERY STEEP hill does have drawbacks. Waking back to the apartment after a long day of tourist activities can be a challenge for some, however we enjoyed it. The building is also situated immediately next to a large parking garage, we did hear some noise throughout the day and night from that garage, so that may be something to consider if you are a very light sleeper. The air conditioning unit in our apartment although it worked great, it would intermittently squeak loudly - waking us up from sleep.

The apartments are beautiful, the roof terrace apartment is wonderful with a beautiful balcony and magnificent views. The staff are lovely and helpful. It has a lift so getting luggage to top floors is no problem. It is very close to the Galata tower as well as the metro, ferries, tram and funicular.

The area where the apartment is located is VERY hilly so be prepared to walk up and down many very steep hills to get anywhere (including to public transport). If you have mobility issues, this location is not for you.

I recently stayed at this hotel and had an excellent experience. The rooms were clean, modern, and well-appointed, making for a very comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and attentive, always willing to assist with any request. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants the area.

Nothing

Location cannot be beaten

Leaving

The appartments were really clean and complete. The service was excellent. The staff was very accommodating en helpful. Location was superb close to shops, restaurants and of course the historical galatea tower.

nothing

your staff was amazing. the neighborhood is the best in Istanbul. cheers!

maybe you can have a guide of places and how to get there.

The location was PERFECT but most of all the staff were amazing. They were soo helpful and genuinely wanting us to have a good time. I’ve never met staff more accommodating!!

Nothing at all that I can think of!

The staff were the friendliest and most helpful I’ve ever seen. Incredible service. The location is also really perfect.

From the moment we arrived at the Louis Appartements I knew we’d hit the jackpot with our choice of accommodation in Istanbul. It was amazing.
On arrival we were met by the absolutely delightful Oguljemal (my wife absolutely adored her and would have gladly adopted her as our own given the opportunity!!) who sat us down, served us chocolates, Turkish Delight and black tea while providing us with incredible advice, insight, tips and a travel card to make the most of our 4 day stay. Our bags were taken up to our room on the 6th floor - we stayed in the Tower Suite - where a fantastic view of the city and a complimentary bottle of wine awaited us.
The air-conditioned room was immaculately clean, well furnished in a modern style and finished off with a super-comfortable, super-king size bed. We didn’t use the small electric hob and microwave which were in the room, but these definitely provide an option - there is also a full range of utensils, glasses, plates etc if you did want to make a meal. There’s a mini- bar, reliable, free wifi and plenty of space.
The view from our balcony was off the charts and I hope that our attached photos show that the apartments are right in the heart of the bustling Galata district. A huge range of bars, cafes, shops and restaurants are on the doorstep and it is a 2 min walk to The Tunel station, which will connect you to the wider public transport system.
I can’t speak highly enough of the staff (as well as Ogundlia, Tufan the manager was turbo-friendly, helpful and always made time to take tea with us and chat about our plans for the day). All in all, our experience of the service, atmosphere, location and accommodation at the Louis Appartements mean that we now wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Istanbul.

Nothing! It was all genuinely amazing.
