Gulec Hotel & Spa - Special Category

Gulec Hotel was an absolute gem! The location is amazing—just a short walk to all the major sights like the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff were super friendly and are always the highlight of the trip especially ATILLO he is always available to help and go the extra mile to make sure all our requests are met , all the staff are very well mannered and polite and always have a big smile on their face which makes the day better, this is one of the reasons we always come back to Gulec. The rooms were clean and housekeeping really do an amazing job, its cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. And the breakfast? So good! Fresh, tasty, and the perfect way to start the day. If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Istanbul, this is it. Would definitely come back for the 5th time!

Hotel is very centrally located with many attractions nearby. The staff are exceptionally helpful and courteous. Good breakfast and comfortable stay. Housekeeping services are also very good. Room cleaning was done every day. We also took organized tour services from hotel which was also very nicely organised. I will definitely come back again.

Staff are who give this hotel a great shine and advantage! Attila the receptionist is a great hospitable friendly man who was the best of Gulec experience in my opinion, he made our stay pleasant, answered all questions with passion and patience and assisted to have a smoother and stressfree departure! Cleaning lady was professional and was always wearing a smile :) the maid girl brought me tea at arrival, so these things in general left a good and positive memory and made other details less important!

Great location, walking distance to all the sights, lots of restaurants close by. Room spotless and a very comfortable bed, linens and towels changed daily. Could not fault it. Bathroom was a little tired and could do with some updating, but shower clean and water hot and plentiful. Atille on reception was super helpful, lent me a travel adaptor for my four day stay and booked us on a tour to Gallipoli, really went above and beyond.

Staff were all very friendly, polite and professional from check in to checkout. Attila was very helpful. Room was basic but was very good. Bed was very comfortable. Shower was good. Breakfast was very basic but adequate. Location was excellent for restaurants and many of Istanbul's major sights. Hotel had a SPA service at additional cost but was worth it.
