Gulec Hotel & Spa - Special Category - Istanbul

Excellent breakfast with local products and variety.

Fairly clean and perfect hotel with the best and convenient location uphill to grand bazaar, just what I needed. The breakfasts were local with good option and nice view, for instance, couldn't ask for anything better.

Well, the area was really busy overall.

A work desk, coffee and tea making facilities, and multi-channel television were available in my single room. The location was the best and simply perfect, for example, a byzantine basilica museum was relatively near the hotel.

Perfect spot for exploring Istanbul!

The tram station is super close. 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.

The room was great value and perfectly clean and with good facilities and an extra bed, for example, had everything I needed. The location was good and magnificent - 600 feet away from a historic mosque.

Close to a subway station, easy to get around.

I enjoyed 5 nights in a Standard Double or Twin Room. The location was perfect, just a short walk to attractions. Cleanliness was great, 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 amazing views of the Bosphorus from the rooftop terrace where we enjoyed breakfast! The team went out of their way, especially Attila, to arrange a nice Bosphorus sunset tour for us. With the Grand Bazaar and Hagia Sophia only a short stroll away, every adventure felt effortlessly accessible!

would recommend 😍🥰

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? Great, 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.

I had an amazing experience with delicious breakfast options and a really cozy room with clean sheets. the bathroom could definitely use a deeper clean. I would love to come back!

The location was fantastic, just a 5-minute walk to major attractions. The staff was accommodating, our wedding celebration went smoothly, and the spacious room made it all the better.

the fridge didn't work properly.

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 cute. It could use some sprucing up.

can just recommend for a rapid stop

Spacious room, amazing staff, the hotel features daily cleaning services and a lovely rooftop terrace that provides a great spot to enjoy breakfast while being just a short distance from the nearest airport.

Everything met my expectations.

Really good location, just a short walk to major sights. Clean and comfortable accommodations. Noisy late at night, could hear music from nearby venues.
