I was a bit disappointed with this hotel. I emailed to ask how to get there and was sent a helpful map, the hotel also said they would 'meet and greet' at the ferry terminal. I advised which ferry I would be on, but nobody came to meet me. I found the Gala without too much trouble, but was not... More

My cousin and I had made the journey from London and after a long plane ride followed by the boat trip out at the crack of dawn we were ready to nap a few hours.. Yeah right!! As soon as we stepped foot on this majestic island the beautiful bougainvillea tree lined streets, exotic bird sounds and horse drawn carriages... More

Excellent little hotel just outside the main village, about three minutes walking. The hotel is well designed and rather charming. Our room (superior something), had a nice balcony with a table and two chairs. The bathroom, however, was really small. Breakfast is rather nice, though nothing too special.

We have just spent three nights at the Gala Hotel, and I would concur with existing reviews - this place is as clean and spotless as it looks in the pictures. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, even putting together a selection from the impressive breakfast buffet (some lovely boreks and savoury pastries alongside the usual Turkish fare)... More

Great looking hotel. The reception and dining area really does look at pristine as the photos suggest. A friendly and professional service, we were given drinks and cakes whilst we waited for our room, which was a nice touch. The room was clean and reasonably sized. Breakfast included some nice borek. The location is a 5 minute downhill walk to... More

We arrived here for a stay of three nights and were very warmly welcomed with drinks while waiting (3 mins) for the (superior) room. Nice and tidy room, balcony to the street with horses running by and everything you need for a relaxed stay. The room was a bit small though, it was hard to find a place for our... More

I came here with my boyfriend two weeks ago and we loved it. It's very much the off-season for Buyukada now, and we were some of the only guests, but I think Gala's incredible hospitality would hold true no matter how many guests they have. Everyone was welcoming and friendly. The tea was always flowing. The breakfast special was delicious.... More
