I checked into Hotel Walton Galata for my final night in Istanbul because I wanted to be closer to the Beyoglu neighborhood. Immediately upon check in I received a room upgrade, to a phenomenal room, as well as a free welcome cocktail card for the rooftop bar. The room was luxurious and sizable, with large windows and efficient air conditioning. I went to the rooftop bar for tapas and cocktails, as well as breakfast the following morning. As a solo traveler, I pride hotel restaurants for being less daunting than going out on occasion. This one upheld this desire. The food (especially breakfast) was filling. The view from the roof was stunning. Finally, the day after check out I had a 1am taxi arranged to the airport for a red-eye flight, and as a solo female was at a loss trying to figure out how to occupy my evening from dinner to the taxi (that the airport arranged.) I ended up sitting in the hotel lobby at the welcome and host of concierge, Cihan. He was accommodating, offering me tea and coffee, and was a great conversationalist in my attempt to stay awake. I highly recommend Hotel Walton Galata as one of my favorite stays across what has now been a 5 country trip. Well worth it!
