The Central House Istanbul Galata Reviews

Stay at 4 bedrooms, female dorm , all good ,breakfast is god, good location, walking distance to bus and metro station, walking distance to tourist spot .

Good location with stunning view from the rooftop area, highly recommended for solo travelers

Perfect stay in central of istanbul. Walking distance to Taksim and Galata Tower. Sishane metro and Tophane tram station are also nearby. Room was clean. The only thing we need maybe an electric kettle inside the room to make tea and coffee. And also more variety in the breakfast

Had the twin room and everything is almost perfect especially if you’re looking to stay somewhere near İstiklal street. Şişhane bus stop is just few minutes walk and Şişhane metro station is up the hill less than 10mins walk. Well connected if you wanna go to Sultanahmet area. Havaist is only less than 10 mins drive away and costs around 120lira by ehailing. Turkish breakfast in the morning everyday with free flow of coffee machine. Staffs are super nice. Just stay to hostel rules, you’ll be fine. It’s not that strict. Oh it has a nice rooftop! Downside: The twin room has two single beds, there is no tv or other electrical appliances in the room except for hair dryer. Which is fine cause I sleep and leave. Aircond is perfect especially during summer

Very good hostel in the center Istanbul, very good location, not far from metro station, very clean and good breakfast!

I think this the finest hostel by far in Istanbul. The breakfast was awesome good in quality on that price. There is place to work for Nomads and remote workers. The only annoying thing was Wash Basin in the room I don’t know if it’s annoying for other people as well, but for me I always wake up whenever someone wash hand or use tap specially in wee hours. Mike the receptionist guy is awesome and very helpful. Definitely Recommend

Everything was good and clean...perfect hotel for solo trip

Indeed a good location and the service is funtastic.

Good location, the staff is really friendly.

Very nice

The best place for your first acquaintance with Istanbul. Ideal for those who come to the hotel only to sleep and spend the rest of the time exploring the city. The journey by metro from IST airport, along the M11 lines to Gairettepe and a transfer to M2 to Shishkhane, took at most 1.5 hours, taking into account the purchase of a map and orientation. From Shishkhane* you can reach the hotel in 5 minutes on foot. *If you only exchanged money for travel at the airport, then it is best to exit from Istiklal and go to the currency exchange office on the way, then you can immediately rent a towel and lock, as well as go to the store for everything you need for the first time. I went to Bayraktar Doviz, near Asmali Mesjit Street, and then went to the CarrefourSA store. Once in the hotel lobby you will immediately meet the reception desk and staff. In addition, the hall has sofas for relaxing and an elevator. On the ground floor there is a dining room, on the 2nd there is a common space with sofas and tables, on the R floor there is a roof with tables and chairs, where there is a view of the city. Check-in is quick: show your passport, they register you, give you a key card and a business card with information about the wi-fi password, breakfast, time and room of stay.** I never got to breakfast, because I either left before 8 am or slept until 12 😩 **Additionally, you can rent a towel within 150 TL and a lock for the box for things. There are very nice guys at the registration desk who you can always contact if you have any questions or problems. I chose a shared room with a shower. The room itself is designed for 4 people without division by floor. Inside there are two bunk beds with a curtain, a pillow, a blanket, one socket and a light bulb for the bunk. On the first level there are 2 metal boxes for things, one per person. There are hooks on the side of the bed for clothes or towels. The sink and mirror are in the common area in front of the first bed. To the side of it there is a table, a chair and a second mirror. The air conditioner is on in the room most of the time. The bathroom has only two zones - a tiled shower with a glass door, near which there are two hooks, and a toilet. Also don't forget to take shower shoes. The room itself is not cramped, but there is not enough additional surface for things. Either a towel will hang on one hook, and all the clothes on the second - or the towel will be on the door, and the clothes will take up all the hooks. Cleaning happens often, but in the first days I was unlucky with my neighbors and the result was immediately ruined 🥹 The new neighbors were much neater. If this is your first time in Istanbul or traveling alone, then this is a great option to relax and not spoil your travel impressions. The hotel is located in the most tourist place. Within walking distance are transport and Istiklal - a “shopping center” avenue that has everything from street food to an Irish pub, clothing markets and currency exchangers. But the prices there are also tourist prices. 10 minutes south is the Galata Tower, with a bunch of shops along the way. Another 10 minutes are Karakoy, the Galata Bridge and a ferry with another mode of transport. 20 minutes north is Taksim.

Just a tower! If you see this ad, don't hesitate to take it. Like a luxury hotel, only with beds. Huge hall, coworking space, dining area, terrace, breakfast. Gorgeous interior!

There is only one negative about this hotel It's a hostel) everything else is just amazing Location, cleanliness, service All services are paid and additional Towel and accessories There is shampoo and gel in the shower Everything else needs to be purchased The hotel can help you with a SIM card and other necessary things The first time I stayed at this hotel was in February and I took a mixed room And you may encounter some not-so-nice neighbors. For example, we had a change of guests for 3 nights One of whom was unpacking his suitcase at 5 am and walking around very loudly with headphones on. Another man decided to smoke in the room This time I stayed in the women's room And I had very nice traveling companions. I recommend the hotel if you just need somewhere to spend the night or work. The hotel has breakfast but it's so-so There is a safe

Hotel and hostel at the same time very beautiful The staff is very helpful and respectful The cleanliness is very excellent and the price is the best I took a shared room bed with free breakfast The rooms are air conditioned and very clean There is a seating area on the roof of the hotel, where you can see Istanbul from above and view the sitting area The breakfast is amazing and has many options I highly recommend it Excellent price, cleanliness and location The only negative was that my room was on the main street and the car noises were a bit annoying
