“Great location and very clean”
Very good location, close to the main attractions. The room was small, but it had everything you need. Also the room was very clean, cleaned daily and the towels were as well changed daily, which for me is a very big plus. Nearby you can find lots of restaurants and pubs also.

The staff are super friendly and helpful. Hamit carried our heavy suitcases up 2 flights of stairs, and got up in the early hours of the morning to help us get our taxi back to the airport. The room was really airy and clean, the windows are double glazed and the bed was very comfortable. Its location is so close to the Blue Mosque and Haggia Sophia, it only takes 5 minutes to walk up to the square, and it's surrounded by great places to eat. If we ever come back to Istanbul we would definitely stay here again.

It is in the heart of hayia Sophia, very good location. Excellent hospitality and very clean. The price was really nice for the location and the man at the reception was really kind and helpful. We were able to leave our staffs after our check out and have some more time in the city before we leave. He also called a taxi for the airport and our transport was really easy.

Everything was magnificent especially the hospitality of the hotel manager he was very welcoming and helpful. The rooms were very clean with one overlooking the vibrant street. A room with a view twas super beautiful. The street is very colorful and bright at night till early morning with varieties of restaurants and coffee shops and nearby the Arasta Bazzar. All this story and movie like hotel is a walking distance only from the grand Sultan Ahmet And Aya Sofia Masjids. We took two rooms for 90 euros and it was worth it. Thank you hotel management and Mr. Hamit. I strongly recommend this hotel.

The location is best to visit by walking all the main areas. Mr. Hamit is a gentleman and supportive. I must appreciate them for accommodating my early check-in and late check out. Arranging a private pick and drop within a reasonable amount. I highly recommend staying at Gul Sultan Hotel.

“We had a great experience, the rooms were super clean and had an overall enjoyable stay. We can only recommend the hotel”
Hamit is a great host, very helpful, welcoming and friendly. The hotel is located very central, in a lively street. It is centred around the sights (Hagia Sophia/ Blue Mosque) but also public transport was easy to reach within 5 minutes.

“It was great! I will definitely try to book here again if I ever have the chance to return to Istanbul!”
I like the location. Its just 5 minutes walk to Hagia Sofia. There’s a lot of eateries around the hotel too. Apart from that, the room is spotless and clean. There is bidet in the toilet and the shower water pressure is superb. The staff at the reception greets us everyday and I find it very pleasant. He was also very helpful and tried his best to accommodate us.
