Louis Appartements Galata

The hotel was exceedingly well-located, just outside the Galata tower. There were a lot of dining options, shops and cute streets in the vicinity. Rooms were exactly like pictured, very spacious with a sitting room, kitchenette and the comfiest bed. But the best part of the hotel was the service and hospitality. Tufaan and Tobrek were exceedingly friendly and helpful, providing recommendations on places to go, things to eat, sights to see. They really made the overall stay very welcoming and comfortable. Huge shout-out to Tobrek too for helping us lug our heavy luggages up the street to our taxi when we left.

Beautiful apartments and family operated. The service was excellent. They can arrange airport transfers, lent us power adaptors and umbrellas when we had inclement weather, help arranged restaurant bookings etc. And the location was excellent! Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.

My husband and I stayed 5 nights in Istanbul (our first stop on our first trip to Turkey), and couldn’t have been happier with our choice of hotel. The room itself was comfortable and had a useful kitchenette, the location was wonderful, but what really stood out to me was the staff at the hotel. From the minute we arrived, I felt so welcomed by the staff, and they encouraged us to sit and relax while they offered to help us with any plans for our trip or with any questions we had. Throughout our stay, it was really nice chatting with them and I also really appreciated their advice on things to do and how to get around. They also arranged very nice airport transfers for us, both from the airport and back to the airport.|We hope to come back to Turkey again and if we do, we would love to stay here again!

I've approved this hotel as my first choice to stay in Istanbul. The staff is amazing, the rooms and services are great. It's clean and organized. The location is perfect, 1 minute walk to Galata tower and about 3 to 5 minutes walking to Istiklal street and about 15 mins walk to Galataport. Again, the staff are incredible.

We wanted a comfortable base for our week's stay in Istanbul and we found the perfect spot. The small block of apartments is located close to the Galeta Tower - the surrounding area was busy - lots of cafes catering to tourists but the apartment was incredibly quiet at night. There's a small supermarket -Migros Jet a 2 minute walk away - fine for essentials including water, wines and beers, croissants for breakfast and so on. A walk down the hill gets you to Karakoy tram station by the Galata Bridge taking you to the major mosques, museums and Basilica Cistern in a few stops. Coming back, take the F2 Tunel inclined railway up to Beyoglu which saves you the steep walk back up the hill. The apartment was very clean and stylish, daily cleaning service very welcome and the staff are charming and helpful.

Great little hotel - right in the middle of a very active neighborhood, but still somehow calm and quiet. Rooms weren’t extravagant by any means, but were very comfortable on every metric: specious, quiet, good (and quiet) AC, comfortable bed, nice bathroom with good water pressure, good WiFi, fridge. Quite literally nothing to complain about, which is rare in a hotel. Oh, and free laundry, which was great. Area is great - not quite touristy like the old district (which I’m very happy we didn’t stay in), but close enough to everything. (5:30am prayer chant woke us up a couple times, but it was still barely audible.) Concierge is great, too, and guided us through everything we need to know about Istanbul.

Solo traveler looking for lodging to work remotely and relax between international motorcycling. Louis was a perfect option located in the heart of Galata Tower area. I was able to find food/drink at nearly all hours of day. I had a small suite on the first floor with a comfy bed, kitchenette, and sizable bathroom. This would be perfect for couples or anyone spending a good amount of time in the room. I was working, editing, and repacking and had plenty of space to not feel confined. The room was beautiful and very well maintained…like no dust on the walls or hanging lights. For being right off the busy street, it was surprisingly quiet. The WiFi was very consistent day and night and AC worked perfectly. My stay was $330 for 3 nights early Sep, so very affordable given the room and location. The staff was responsive with requests and very friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone who can handle the surrounding hill climbs while exploring.

We can’t recommend Louis Apartments highly enough! It’s a lovely small hotel literally around the corner from the Galata Tower, yet incredibly quiet and peaceful. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. We’ve stayed here twice now — once for over a week and the second time for just one night — and both experiences were equally wonderful. The location, comfort, and warm atmosphere make it a place we will happily return to again and again.
