Pros:

Propre, spacieux, et emplacement idéal pour visiter Istanbul, très proche d'une station de métro également

Cons:

Nous avions demandé un lit double, il s'agissait en réalité de deux lits simples l'un contre l'autre. Cela a dérangé un peu notre confort. Également, nous entendions énormément nos voisins de chambre parler + les pleurs du bébé. Je m'attendais aussi à un déjeuner plus "local".

A spotless, welcoming hotel in the perfect spot to soak up the best of historic Istanbul.
Pros:

Visiting from the Netherlands, we had a truly pleasant stay at Hotel Gulsoy. The staff were attentive and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable throughout our visit. The hotel is ideally situated for exploring the historic western side of Istanbul — a neighbourhood full of charm and character. We would gladly return on our next trip to the city.

The room is located in a lovely neighborhood with breathtaking views (if you choose the one with a view of the mosque),
Pros:

The Hammam service at the hotel was wonderful, the room was very clean, and the view of the mosque was beautiful, the restaurant was very nice

Cons:

We had asked them to iron two items of clothing ($9), and it took them a day and a half; we had to wait until 10:30 a.m. to get them back, even though we had been told they would be ready the next day. Breakfast is served in the basement, where it’s really cold, and the lighting doesn’t make the room feel very welcoming. The breakfast wasn’t anything special.
