I stayed at Galata suites five years ago during my first trip to Istanbul. And this time when I found it on Airbnb I thought let’s stay there again to reminisce about our first trip.
Unfortunately this time, the internet connection was really bad, especially in the evening and night time... to the point that we almost could not book our return tickets online...
Also, the furniture is a little run down compared to the first time we stayed there and the noise from the construction of next door building made hard to sleep...
On the other hand, the location was great, only a few steps to the Galata tower and a short walk to the Sishane metro station and Istikalal boulevard. There was also a lovely bakery on the street behind the building that enjoyed every day.
Having an elevator is a big plus and checking in and out was super easy.
