Hotel MOLA Galata has a personable and helpful staff that helped make my stay a pleasure. The hotel is in a safe location with access to all points of interest, via bus, metro, ferrie, taxi, and on foot. The style of the hotel is appealing and you can get coffee, tea and food in the lobby. There is also an expansive and awe inspiring view of the Golden Horn from the terrace.

We had a deluxe room on the top floor with a great view, cute interior. We didn’t take the breakfast but it is served on the Rodrigo with an amazing view. There’s a little mosque right around the corner, so bring your earplugs if you don’t want to be waken up at 5am. The staff was very friendly and sweet. Metro very close, you can walk to most sightseeing spots.

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel MOLA Galata. It is minutes walking distance to Galata Tower and many options of restaurants and cafes on a pedestrian only street. The hotel is so close to everything but also quiet for sleeping as it’s just a few blocks away. The rooftop terrace has stunning views of Istanbul and a great place to have a wine or coffee. The hotel has wonderful staff who are there 24 hours so it feels very safe and secure. A special thank you to Omar who was very kind and helped with great recommendations in the area.

Nice hotel in the Galata area, with well decorated interior.
The location is very close to the Galata tower and cafes/restaurants. It’s easy to get around the city from the hotel, and not far from the metro stop but it is located down some quiet backstreets and if you’re travelling alone that may concern you. I didn’t have any issues but would recommend sticking to the main roads.
The rooftop terrace is a great bonus and gives great views over the Galata Bridge.
The hotel accepts cash payments only, you can’t prepay and you can’t pay using any kind of card (credit/debit/Amex). That isn’t very clearly mentioned on the listing and I only found out the night before my stay. In 2023 that is very unusual for a city centre hotel.

Zimmer war modern eingerichtet und sauber. Kontakt freundlich. Angenehme Nähe zu Meer/Atatürkbrücke und Galataturm. Manko: kein Platz für Koffer und wenig für Kleidung. Badezimmer ohne Fenster oder Klimaanlage. Kein Frühstück ( aber das war schon beim Buchen bekannt).

Die Unterkunft ist sehr empfehlenswert! Ausblick herrlich! An der Sauberkeit kann man noch etwas arbeiten, nach bitte wird die räumlichkeit gesäubert.
Es ist zentral, für allein reisende, man kann die gassen am Abend vermeiden und den Hauptweg nutzen. Im gesamten top und detailreich!

Abbiamo soggiornato al 5 piano del Mola Hotel, vista esageratamente bella, camera ottima negli spazi e nei servizi, peccato per una piccola infiltrazione d’acqua dal soffitto durante un acquazzone. Ovviamente non riparabile al momento ma lo staff è stato molto gentile e disponibile a trovare una soluzione. Vicino a Metro, Galata tower e a le fermate dei tram. Consigliatissimo

Ekonomik, konforlu ve yeterli
Fiyat aralığına göre iyi denilebilecek bir konaklamaydı. Temizlik fena değildi, daha iyi yapılabilir. Çarşaf ve yastık kılıfları falan temiz fakat lekeli, bu durum düzeltilebilir. Çeşitli yerlerde sivrisinekler ezilmiş olarak duruyor, onlar mutlaka temzilenmeli. Oda küçük fakat yeterli ve konforlu. Oda manzarası (4. Kat) güzel. Teras güzel. Sabah kahve/çay alıp terasda vakit geçirilebilir. Vaktinizi dışarıda geçirecekseniz eğer, ekonomik, konforlu ve yeterli bir hizmet sunuyorlar, tercih
edilebilir bir mekan.
