    The hotel was clean with very pleasant and polite staff members. The overall atmosphere was quiet, even so some staff members were not very friendly. Had breakfast in the terrace. This venue was set in a central area very close to the sea and old town rooftops view, Blue mosque and aya sofia and tram line and Topkapi Palace and Hagia Sophia;)))

    I recently stayed at a hotel near major tourist attractions for 3 nights. The location was perfect, with easy access to restaurants, transport, and primary tourist sites. The rooms were very clean and the beds were comfortable. The breakfast served was nice and had a great view from the terrace. The staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. They quickly resolved the wifi issue with the help of a technician. a great experience.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    Gulec Konak was worth every penny! The room was spacious and spotless, plus the location couldn't be better for exploring Istanbul's attractions. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home, welcoming us with Turkish tea and coffee upon arrival. Highly recommend!

    The breakfast offerings could be improved by adding more variety to cater to different tastes.

    The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, providing a much-needed respite from the summer heat. I had a hilarious experience in the shared lounge, bonding with fellow travelers over our love for Turkish soap operas. The hotel's terrace offers stunning views of the garden, making it the perfect spot for a peaceful evening. The flat-screen TV in the room had a fantastic range of satellite channels, ensuring I never missed my favorite shows. The safety deposit box provided in the room gave me peace of mind, knowing my valuables were secure. The staff at Gülec Konak Hotel were incredibly helpful and efficient, offering an ironing service that saved me from wrinkled clothes.

    Language barriers were a slight inconvenience. The breakfast could use some improvement.

    The location of Gulec Konak was perfect for exploring the attractions of Istanbul. We were able to visit the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Sultanahmet tram station within walking distance. The staff at the reception were friendly and helpful, providing us with all the information we needed for a pleasant stay. The breakfast served at the hotel was tasty, and we enjoyed the beautiful view from the terrace. Despite the small size, the room was clean and comfortable.

    We loved the location of the hotel, close to tourist attractions, restaurants, and transport. The staff, especially Şerif, were incredibly helpful. The view of the Bosphorus from our room and the terrace was stunning. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and breakfast was nice. The mini market downstairs was convenient.

    Felt like being home, no complaints.
