1. Making a booking
By making a booking you are confirming that you
are authorised to do so on behalf of all persons named in the booking and
you are acknowledging that all members of your party agree
to be bound by
these Booking Terms & Conditions.
When your booking has been made a confirmation will be sent to you by email
using the email address that you have supplied. You should retain a copy of
this confirmation for your reference. Booking confirmations are subject to
the availability of accommodation at the hotel.
You should carefully check the details of your confirmation as soon as you
receive it. You must contact The Galata Istanbul
Hotel immediately if any of the details are incorrect or incomplete.
We will always endeavour to rectify any inaccuracies or accommodate any
alterations you wish to make to your booking. We cannot accept liability for
any inaccuracies that are not brought to our attention within seven days of
issuing your confirmation, nor can we accept responsibility for inaccurate
information that you have supplied.
If you contact us using the booking enquiry form we will endeavour to
respond within 12 working hours of receiving your
booking enquiry.

in settlement of your hotel account. Cheques are NOT accepted as payment.
In some instances, supplementary items, such as tickets to local attractions,
may require full payment at the time of booking. If applicable, the
additional sum required as a deposit will be clearly stated when making your
booking. (Please note that certain supplementary items may require a non-refundable
deposit.)
As a measure of fraud prevention you will be required to enter the three
digit Card Verification Value (CVV) printed on the back of your credit or
debit card when making a booking online.
Unless stated as part of your booking, additional items such as (but not
limited to) the cost of external telephone calls, meals, drinks, items from
the mini-bar and travel expenses, are not included in the price of your stay.
If you incur any such additional costs you must settle the sum involved

confirmed. We reserve the right to correct any errors in advertised and
confirmed prices and will do so as soon as we become aware of an error. We
will notify you of any price discrepancies relating to your booking should
they arise, but we strongly advise you to check that the final price of your
booking is correct before making your final confirmation.

you cannot provide proof of cancellation (cancellation confirmation or
reference number) if requested to do so.
8. Cancellations and changes made by The
Galata Istanbul Hotel

superior standard. If at any time we need to make changes that will
significantly affect your stay or we need to cancel your stay, we will tell
you as soon as possible, offering a suitable alternative or a refund. This
does not apply to minor changes or events during your stay, resulting from
unusual or unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control.
If a guest or a member of your party behaves in a way that causes or is
likely to cause danger, upset or distress to a third party or to hotel or
guest property, we are entitled, without prior notice, to curtail the stay
and request that the person(s) concerned leave the hotel. No refunds or
