Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Rooms were clean and new, but bit small. Location is perfect but noise isolation is poor and I had hard time sleeping, perhaps due to combination of outside noise and jet lag. Area around hotel is very busy all day and night, do be aware. Breakfast was great, staff is friendly and prompt. Overall it’s passing grade but I would recommend other place in the same area. Istanbul is amazing so it’s worth every penny.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Gulec hotel is very average and overpriced for the facilities provided. Breakfast was bad. Rooms are very compact. There was ants in my room and there was no attention given to have it cleaned. The hotel is not accessible by wheelchair. Staff is rude especially the lady at the breakfast restaurant. Only positive this is it’s near by tram station and Sultanahmet. But in all an unpleasant stay.

Tuvimos una estancia estupenda. Las habitaciones son amplias y las camas muy cómodas. Ventanas amplias, buena ventilación. Nos atendieron muy bien y con gran amabilidad, era frecuente que nos ofrecieran un té. El desayuno es variado. El hotel tiene una ubicación de diez, está todo lo cerca.

Posizione ottima. Tra la spianata delle moschee ed il Gran Bazar. Esterno dell'hotel bello e curato. Camera d'angolo molto ampia. Colazione totalmente da rivedere. Pochissima scelta e non invitante. Prettamente turca senza nessuna spiegazione. Vista dalla terrazza molto bella.
