"Good location, affordable rates, friendly staff, and clean rooms. I didn’t try the hotel’s restaurant, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. It’s also good to know that there’s a well-stocked supermarket right across from the hotel where you can buy alcohol, which can be difficult to find in this neighborhood. Overall, a great place to stay for a day or two."

This a very new boutique hotel in the middle of the old city and close to many of the main attractions. The rooms are fairly small, but well equipped, extremely clean and fitted to a high standard. The staff were delightful and accommodated our various needs. Highly recommended.

This was my first time staying at GLK Hotel in Istanbul, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially Salah at the front desk, who went out of his way to make us feel welcomed on our first arrival.
The hotel is in a fantastic location, situated in a quieter part of Istanbul’s Old City. The Blue Mosque is within walking distance, along with many of the other key tourist attractions, making it very convenient for exploring the city.

A clean and comfortable room with door through to our children’s room. It was perhaps a little small but comfortable enough for a week of sight seeing. A 10 min walk from the t1 tram to the main sites (come every2min and journey last 10-15mins to Blue Mosque for instance). The staff were helpful and asked daily if all was okay. The breakfast was generous and the room where we ate and lovely 180 degree views. The Pool was small and a bit cool. The steam room and sauna work but needed to ask...

Very nice hotel. Extremely well located, close to İstiklal street, Şişane metro station. Lots of eating places close by. Staff very helpful. I had chosen a superior room which was extremely spacious and comfortable.
My only criticism would be that their breakfast was unremarkable. Having got used to other hotels having a widespread breakfast buffet, the breakfast at this hotel was quite sparse.

The staff from front desk to the cleaner and then to the breakfast waiters were so attentive and helpful. Breakfast is like a feast! Breakfast is a roof top breakfast in their other hotel which is 2 minutes from our hotel on level 2. Our rooms were cleaned to a...

Amazing staff from front desk to house keeping, they offered us some cake for our honey moon and chocolate, very clean and all amenities are provided. Breakfast is okey not a 5 stars breakfast, tried Barceló république which is much better. Housekeeping team are lovely but they should be quiet in the corridors mostly for guests that want to oversleep.
