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!

Great location. Excellent setvice from hotel staff. I was initially assigned a room with a very low ceiling on the top floo. But the following day the hotel.moved me to a much better room on the ground floor. The breakfast was good but rather limited. Also, if your room faces the.street you can experience a lot of late noise from nearby bars and restaurants.

Awesome location
We booked presidential suite but to our surprise it was a very small room . The good part was the staff — Ali and Taylan were both awesome . Our check in process was very fast . He was very helpful in explaining all details about the area , taxis and trams like everything . Location is super , it is right in the middle of a busy street with food vendors all around , very lively and colourful street. Breakfast was ok. Very close to famous mosque Hagia Sofia .

Beautiful and beautifully run top draw 👏
I fell in love with this place. Its a stunning hotel and deserves the rating it has. The management amd staff are a credit to the chain. My only concern was that its described as wheelchair accessible and although i found the inside to be perfect for myself please be mindful theres no wheel in shower only a bath in certain rooms. This is exactly what i wanted but might not be so good for someone wheelchair bound that cannot transfer easily. Also there is currently no ramp at the front door something im confident that the management will be rectifying imminently. They lifted me up the 2 stairs happily without any issue. However to some as we speak wouldn't be happy about. Personally it was a small price to pay to stay at such a well run beautiful hotel it a lovely location. Surronded by restaurants and bars and close enough for a short 10 minute walk to the local metro which is cheaper than chips to use. I hope they get a removable ramp because it would make this a regular stop for me and my wife.

The location of this hotel is extremely convenient. It’s steps away from Hagiya Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Sultanahmet Square. There is a plenty of restaurants to choose from. While on a busy street, it is very quiet at night. The cafe with outdoor sitting is really nice. The staff are wonderful. Only minuses were the room was smaller than we expected and the A/C was not working.

I recently stayed at the GLK PREMIER Regency Suites & Spa - Special Class in Istanbul, and it was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk from iconic sites like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace, making it perfect for exploring the historic center. The hotel itself is beautifully maintained, blending modern comforts with traditional Ottoman design. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and very comfortable, with all the amenities you could need, including a luxurious bed and well-stocked minibar. The bathroom was spotless and equipped with quality toiletries. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in the decor and the quiet atmosphere despite being so close to bustling attractions. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay, providing excellent service and helpful recommendations. The breakfast buffet was delightful, offering a wide variety of fresh, local, and international options. Overall, I highly recommend GLK PREMIER Regency Suites & Spa for anyone visiting Istanbul. The combination of prime location, comfort, and exceptional service makes it an excellent choice for both leisure and business travelers.

The highlight of the stay was the staff. They were nice, friendly, and would help you instantly with anything you need. The rooms were outdated. The bed, especially pillows were uncomfortable to sleep on. The bath tub looked very old and we had a big shower leak but it was quickly fixed by the impeccable staff. Also the water pressure in the shower was really low. I could constantly (day and night) smell cigarette smoke even though it was non-smoking floor. The restaurants in the area were expensive and the food was mediocre, and there would be barkers in these restaurants constantly trying to talk to you to convince to eat there, which quickly became annoying as you cannot avoid them since the hotel is located right in the middle of the street with these kind of restaurants.
