The hotel and its location
Galata Tower rises only a few steps from Georges Hotel Galata, which sits on Galip Dede Caddesi in the Şahkulu part of Beyoğlu. From here, the Istanbul Modern Art Museum is a short walk down towards the water, and İstiklal Avenue is a few minutes' walk up the slope. World House Boutique Hotel is the immediate neighbour, and Galata 1875 Suites is also close by.
Include your flight number when you book. The flight is tracked, so if you land earlier or later than planned at Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gökçen, the pick-up time moves with it and your driver is waiting in arrivals with a name sign. Nothing needs to be rearranged on your side, and the fixed price remains the same.
