I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Walton Hotels Galata. The location is perfect for exploring the area, especially being so close to the Galata Tower. The rooms were clean and well-equipped, and I loved the touch of having a rooftop breakfast with amazing views. However, the lobby was quite small and lacked facilities like a pool, which might not suit every preference.
