The Room was very clean, the bathroom was also very clean and big. The reception is very friendly, I can only recommend this hotel, if you like to visit the historical places in Fatih
Great stay with friendly and helpful staff and good facilities. Location is great also, close to many attractions. The staff helped us organise transport to and from hotel and helped us get the best deals.
Very much enjoyed our stay in Istanbul. The front desk was very helpful and the accommodation was nice! Very close to old Istanbul and it was easy to walk everywhere.

We loved the place. It was very clean and good mattress. The shower was great and a lot bigger than the one we had in other places we stayed. It is so close to the two famous mosques and the basilica cisterna and anything else so it is a great spot to explore. You are in the heart of it all. It does get a bit noisy at night as it’s at the end of a busy bar street but the price does reflect this in our opinion. I slept through most of it and ear plugs did wonders. We would stay again for sure. Overall great place for the price we paid.
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.

Enjoyed our stay, room was very clean. Bathroom was excellent. Very close to all the big sights. Plenty of good restaurants on the door step
Excellent service! The staff is amazing. The hotel is located conveniently close to major tourist atractions, such as Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. Many dining options and pick up for tours is highly available. Sometimes the restaurants or pubs within the same street can get loud. But in our case there was only one noisy night but ended relatively quick. In general its a great place, very clean, and friendly.
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
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.
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.
Everything was just great!!e and my family liked the hotel. The front desk staff was really friendly and nice people! They helped us with everything including getting the ride to the airport. We got really nice shuttle bus! The hotel room was really comfortable and great! Really liked it! The area around was also great! Many good restaurants and shops. Many great sightseeing places are right there. Highly recommend!
