Kadıköy Holidays from £234

The restaurant has a casual ‘Istanbul’ vibe. Great breakfast buffet.

The hotel was right near the busy shopping street, which made it perfect for us. It’s walking distance from the Galata Tower and has lots of transportation options. Food options were plentiful and if you are in Istanbul for the night life it’s one of the places to be. I stayed Wednesday through to Friday, the first night was quiet no noise from the street. But Thursday heading to the weekend was very noisy sound like a birthday party was happening under our bedroom window until 3am, so bear that in mind if you wanted a quiet stay. Also I booked the breakfast included options and the view of the city was amazing from there. All in all I would book again but mid week though.

The stuff we’re really nice, the hotel is from a close distance to everything, 2 minutes walk to the metro and 5 to taksim street. The rooms could’ve been slightly cleaner, we blocked the door with a towel to stop the smell of cigarets coming from the next room. But it’s okay if you’re there just to sleep not spending a lot of time at the hotel.

We had a great stay here! The staff was amazing, rooms were very clean, breakfast was good, location is perfect, and bed was comfortable. All the staff, every single one of them, was so kind and helpful from the moment we stepped into the hotel and throughout our entire stay. Atakan was extremely kind and wonderful customer service. My husband loves coffee at all times of the day and would constantly go to the little bar for a cup of coffee and Atakan was always the one making coffee and tea. He never got annoyed and did it with pleasure. Room service was great!!! I was post operation and had to request ice every few hours and the hotel crew was great with bringing me ice. I want to especially thank Muhammet, Yilmaz, and Caner for their hospitality and patience with us. They were so kind. Also, breakfast was great everyday thanks to Pinar for being so attentive. I was in Room 502, I forgot the name of our maid, but she did an amazing job at cleaning our room daily. She is also one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I have one complaint; WiFi was very slow which affected my pace of work. Hopefully this can be fixed before I come back. Thank you staff of Gleam Collection!! I can’t wait to be back!

Cleaning the toilet is very poor with mold buildup inside the shower and around the lavatory, that's all the problem of the hotel, if not I'll give them five stars. The staff is excellent and professional. The breakfast is A-level, but please get a cleaner who cares, and takes pride in it.
