Very helpful and friendly staff, great central location, just a quick walk to transport, Blue Mosque, Haggia Sofia etc. Restaurants and supermarkets a few steps away. Nice new bathroom, clean and tidy. I was a bit worried before booking as there was a few comments about noise from the street/bars, but it didnt disturbed my sleep (i was low floor facing the street). Would stay again.

The best thing about this hotel was the rooftop terrace. Some chairs and tables on the terrace. Terrace was mostly private and no one else was up there. Stunning view of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, old city wall, and Bosphorus from the terrace. Staff was very friendly. They were able to give us recommendations and call us a taxi. 5-10 minute walk to Hagia Sophia, and also a 5-10 minute walk to the Bosphorus area. The hotel is on a street with a lot of restaurants, shops, and pubs. Very noisy late into the night. The hotel has a lobby and a man in the lobby at all times for service requests and for security. Breakfast is not included but there are restaurants nearby. Hotel was clean. Room had AC unit, a mini fridge, and TV. Bed was just okay.

The hotel and the room are very clean and comfortable.
Very well located, a short walk to Aya Sofia and the blue mosque.
The staff are very friendly, specially Mr Ahmet at reception, very polite and helpful, gave me good places to visit and where to eat at very reasonable prices.
Happy to stay again for next trips.

We really loved staying at this hotel. It was very clean and the rooms were spacious. The views from the terrace are spectacular. If they offered breakfast it would have been ideal.

I had a brief stay (one night), but I'd recommend this highly. Close to everything I wanted to see. It's on a street with many restaurants and shops so you will be duly entertained. The room was clean, sharply appointed, and all that I needed.

Excelent hotel highly recommended! Staff were always friendly and available 24 hours. I stayed for 5 nights location is great, surrounded by many restaurants and lots of nightlife. Perfect for young people who wants to go out but stay in a walkable area. I'd book it again next time

Gul Sultan has an awesome location. 10 min walk to the main attractions. The staff are warm and helpfull, especially Sherhan.
The property is wel maintained and looks recently renovated. It is a small quaint place. The rooms are a bIt tight but very clean. Bahroom also was very clean.
The property sits on a main thoroughfare with lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs... which makes the area quite busy.... but I think that's practically all over Istanbul
Would I stay here again?
Yes, I would

The property managers were absolutely awesome. Both gentlemen treated us so kindly and attentively, constantly checking to see if there was anything we needed.
The location was fantastic, just a very short stroll to the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque and surrounded by so many dining and shopping choices! We’ll be back!
