“Great staff and location,comfortable stay”

Medium sized hotel in a great location views of both the near by blue mosque and Hagia Sophia, from front facing rooms, both within 5 minutes walk as is the Topkapi Palace. The street has numerous good cafes and restaurants. Check in during our late arrival time close to 1am was effortless, even at this time there as staff on hand to take our bags to our rooms, not something I have experienced before at smaller hotels. The rooms were of a good size with plenty of storage and a room safe, there was a reasonably priced minibar too. The breakfast was more than adequate to set you up for the day, with good choice of fruit, cereals and hot food. The breakfast staff were very helpful, our stay was during Ramadan so they offered breakfast times to suit those guests observing. We had an early check out, before the start of breakfast and they offered us fruit, juices and coffees to take with us, with out us asking. On the whole could not fault anything during our stay. Great staff and a great location.

“Great location, nice room”

Upon arrival we were shown a room in the category we booked on the 2nd floor. It faced the front to the main tourist drag with all the restaurants.

Upon arrival we were shown a room in the category we booked on the 2nd floor. It faced the front to the main tourist drag with all the restaurants. We asked if we could have a room on a higher floor and were upgraded to a nice suite which looked out to the side and the back with a nice view of the Bosporus. The suite was quite roomy with a good size bedroom and living area which could have accommodated 2 more guests. It was very comfortable and clean. We were not too impressed with the breakfast which was the same in the 7 days of our stay. There was a lack of hot items, cold cuts and cheeses but it was enough to get you started. We had two problems. The first was the noise from a bar across the street which lasted on a couple of evenings until 2 in the morning. My husband slept through it, I could not get any rest. The second problem was a leaking bathtub. When we took a shower the water came out from underneath the tub. For two days we were given towels to soak up the water. When there was no indication that the damage would be repaired my husband approached the manager on day 3 and insisted that something was done to fix the leak. Then it was repaired and we got a bottle of wine as an apology. The location is absolutely perfect because all famous monuments can be reached by foot. Just as a warning: be prepared to pay high prices. The cost for the accommodation was quite reasonable but for the food it has gone through the roof. Great

“Pleasant stay at GLK”

I liked the hotel and our room was perfect. Yes, it requires upgrading and decor but facilities were adequate. The breakfast was simple and I wasn't fussed.

I liked the hotel and our room was perfect. Yes, it requires upgrading and decor but facilities were adequate. The breakfast was simple and I wasn't fussed. It would be great if the hotel restraunt priced better as we found established places like Mado and Robert Coffee reasonably priced. Thanks to the cleaning crew for tyding our room regularly and general staff were curtious. I think next time if I am in Istanbul I will stay at the other GLK which slightly higher priced (just for the experience).

The good lady wife, booked this hotel via Expedia, for our wedding anniversary break to Istanbul. The staff very kindly decorated our bedroom which was a welcomed surprise. The hotel is what you'd expect for a city break hotel...comfy bed, clean room, basic breakfast etc etc. The staff are friendly and helpful and do their best to attend to your needs. The SPA is basic, in that the hotel will arrange for masserous to come to hotel and provide the massage. They do not assist with the Turkish Hamam, this is something you do yourself. The sauna is small but good and ticks all the right boxes. The hotel is situated on a small busy road and is very convenient to local restaurants, bazaar & shops...which are on your doorstep, along with the main tourist location such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia etc etc. Would recommend the hotel is your looking for a short break away.
