    decent breakfast
    loud street noise

    Perfect spot for exploring Istanbul!

    Had a fab time! The tram station is super close, making it easy to hop around the city. The breakfast buffet was a nice touch, with plenty of options to start the day. Just a heads up—the street noise can get a bit loud at night, so light sleepers might have a tough time.

    I enjoyed 5 nights in a Standard Double or Twin Room. The location was perfect, just a short walk to attractions. Cleanliness was top-notch, with daily housekeeping. Breakfast was superb with a variety of local products. Staff were attentive and arranged activities for us. 😊

    Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic

    I loved the breathtaking views of the Bosphorus from the rooftop terrace where we enjoyed breakfast! The team went out of their way, especially Attila, to arrange a memorable Bosphorus sunset tour for us. With the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia only a short stroll away, every adventure felt effortlessly accessible!

    would recommend 😍🥰

    repetitive breakfast
    small room

    Culinary goldmine! Your taste buds will dance at nearby gems like Ozlem Karadeniz (a street food haven) or El Torito for the best tacos. The staff? Top-notch, like your pals Atilla and Adem, always looking to lend a hand. And the location? You’re smack dab in the action, a quick hop to all the must-see spots!

    But let’s keep it real—the breakfast is a one-trick pony, and our room was like a cozy shoe box compared to others. The night symphony of street sounds and thin walls made sleep a tad tricky.

    my stay at the gulec was unforgettable! the location was fantastic, just a 5-minute walk to major attractions. the staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring our wedding celebration went smoothly, and the spacious room made it all the better.

    the fridge didn’t work properly.

    minor maintenance issues

    The location is convenient, with easy access to major attractions and nearby amenities like supermarkets and pharmacies. The staff is attentive and maintains cleanliness daily, although the bathroom is on the smaller side. Breakfast offers a good variety, but the selection tends to be repetitive after a few days. some minor maintenance issues were present in the room, which could use attention for a better experience.

    The breakfast buffet features local products, which adds a nice touch to the morning routine. the rooftop terrace provides a pleasant space to enjoy breakfast with views of the bustling surroundings.

    Room maintenance needs attention. two out of three lamps were out and it took days for them to be fixed. The bathrooms had issues with cleanliness and odors, which detracted from the experience. Noise levels from the street and nearby venues were intrusive at night, disrupting sleep. I found the lobby cramped and not very welcoming. it could use some sprucing up.
