Well located a couple of blocks from the tram line (Lelelie stop) and easy walking distance to the Grand Bazaar and the rest of the old town tourist attractions. Right across from a mosque, so if you want a great view (but with the noise of call to prayers and daytime traffic) try to get a room on the street... More

This was the first and last stop on our 2 week tour of Turkey. The hotel is situated close to most of the major attractions in the old city. The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar as well as the waterfront access to Bosphorus cruises are all within easy walking distance. The rooms are basic but comfortable and... More

This was a good hotel for our purposes. This was our second trip to Istanbul and we wanted a hotel with a good location that would allow us to explore easily. The hotel is fairly close to public transportation and is within walking distance of a number of attractions (if you like to walk). The rooms are quite small, but... More

I have been going to this hotel for nearly three years as I visit Istanbul like every 2 months and stay there each time one week because of my business. It has been always the first choice because...

This is the classic good and cheap hotel. It has a great location, without getting inside the maze of narrow streets. There is a beautiful pool overlooking the rooftop (and one in the basement). The room is simple compared to the other facilities, but nobody goes to Istanbul to stay in the room!

When I first heard of the grand gulsoy in istanbul, and saw the gallery of the hotel online, I thought to myself that the hotel is one grand place to stay. But in reality, it was less than average, nothing grand about it. The rooms were too small and my room had a view of .... a wall!! The service... More

My husband and I have just stayed there and I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!!! It is old, not that clean, not a good breakfast, extremely rude staff! If you want to go to Istanbul, choose one of the nice small hotels in Sultanahmet. They are much nicer and cheaper. There are multiple reasons why we did not... More

I have stayed here on numerous occasions, the Hotel is Ideally situated close to all tourist attractions and within a short taxi ride (Cheap) to taxim Square and Istabul caddessi the main shopping lane. The rooms are somewhat dated but clean and comfortable and a reasonable size for Istanbul Hotels. The rate includes breakfast and the costs are very good.... More
