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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Highly recommended. Not just a perfect location but great service and sound advice from the staff. We booked the top floor suite with the balcony and relaxing there with the Galata tower in front and the Suleymanie and other magnificent mosques across the Golden Horn to the side was truly an experience, not least during calls to prayer.

Loved everything about the Louis Apartments. The location was perfect. The room (tower suite) was high quality, spacious and had a magnificent view from the balcony. We were very happy with every aspect of this apartment. We’d stay again. The staff were exceptional and provided us with useful information about how to get around using public transport and organised restaurant bookings. Perfect!!

We had a nice time staying at this place. I booked it mainly based on the positive reviews and it didn’t disappoint. The staffs are so kind and welcoming. They gave us tips/suggestions for food/places/safety etc.very helpful. Nice and clean room too with generous space. Location right next to Galata Tower, restaurants/cafes/shops but still quite room. Definitely recommend!
