The GLK is a nice facility, and the staff is wonderful, from the desk agents to the cleaning staff. It is a narrow and tall building, and the stairs are really steep, so you will probably take the lift. The breakfast buffet is very good, and includes a samovar with genuine Turkish Rize tea. The rooms and interior look a bit worn, so I won't give my review a 5 ✬ rating, but 4 1/2 ✬ would be correct. Note: it is a 10 minute walk to the Sultanahmet tram station. Add that time and more to your outings. Warning: the restaurants on the street facing the hotel are all very high price and tourist-oriented. I do not know where you can find local restaurants in the Sultanahmet District (maybe there are none).

Excellent staff
We paid for a bigger room as we were staying a few nights. The room was lovely. There were black out curtains on the windows, the bed large and comfortable. The duvet, however, wasn't as big as the bed! The en suite was a little tired looking, and the hair dryer low-powered. The staff are exceptional, very helpful. We had breakfast on 3 mornings, but stopped when we realised we were being charged the full continental breakfast price for an orange juice and a croissant.

While the location of the hotel is not bad the other reviews are misleading (most likely fake). This is a 2.5 hotel- at best. We booked a room with a Queen OR Two Twin beds and front desk insisted only Queen bed. When I showed him our booking he reluctantly added a sofa sleeper to the room. Seemed very unhappy to do that. Petty front desk with no sense of hospitality. The man looked depressed to be there, TBH. The rooms are not clean (dusty). The hotel is small and old (not in the charming sense). Tiny elevator that fits two or three people. Overpriced and subpar restaurant. Restaurant staff speaks very poor english. Will just nod when you ask for something, but have no idea what you are saying. Just go out for breakfast down the street (better value and quality). Noisy at night. Employees chatter all night and blaring fire alarm goes off at 2 AM for 20 minutes. The walls are thin. Book somewhere else if you want my advice. This hotel was the lowlight of our trip, that was otherwise a wonderful trip, to Turkiye.

Cute boutique hotel
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel . I met my parents in Istanbul and we all stayed at the hotel . The rooms were spacious, nice and super clean . Breakfast was in a charming area and always had a great variety. The hotel is located in the center of the old city and minutes walk to many historic sites. My only comment is that the hair dryer in the bathroom is so outdated so if you use one bring it with you .

Small boutique hotel
Small outdated boutique hotel, terrible view if you didn't get street side, problems with internet. Very nice staff. Definitely not a 5-star hotel, price to value in my opinion bit high. However, if you there just to spend few nights, not a bad choice as it's close to the old city sightseeing.

This is actually a Best Western property. It did not seem like one, however. It seems like a wonderful independent, small boutique hotel. The neighborhood is very safe with plenty of eating and shopping options. It is very walkable to all the major sights in historic Istanbul. Highly recommended for the price.

The location was superb. Whilst it didn't have the feel of a five start hotel, it was spotless and delivered what it needed to. Best of all were the staff, who were all great. Of them all though, Ali A and Hussain were the shining stars! They went above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect to make our stay perfect.

This hotel goes out of their way to make you feel their hospitality. The moment you arrive they offer you Turkish tea or coffee and orient you to the city with a map and answer all your questions about where you are and how to get to the major sites. They even offer to help you book things if you need the help. The Turkish bath is reservable and you get it all to yourself. That heated marble slab is not to be missed! The breakfast is tasty and has all the Turkish flavors you will want to try and a few things (like scrambled eggs) to make you feel at home. Rooms are a nice size and the bed is comfy. If you like to be waited on hand and foot then this is the hotel for you!
