GLK PREMIER Acropol Suites and Spa

This hotel was great for us. I've been wanting to stay in a traditional place, with history. It's over 400 years old, in great condition and clean. Right off the beginning we were offered coffee and tea, which is always great and very appreciated after a 20+ hour trip from New York. Breakfast is plenty, sitting outside is great. Many cats, we were told, some of them are like a little mafia, LOL. Front desk very nice, security 24 hours, This hotel is definitely gonna be my place again. Shout out to the staff!

This is a wonderful, full-service small hotel, in the heart of Sultanhamet, a 5-10 minute walk from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The rooms were well-appointed, the marble-tiled bathroom spotless, and the bed comfortable. Although this is in a busy tourist area, the room was quiet at night; we also had a very nice view of the Sea of Marmara. The breakfast was quite good, with scrambled eggs, fresh bread, salads, fruit, and great coffee, with wonderful servers. I couldn’t have been happier with my 4-night stay here.

GLK Hotel & Suites Acropol is 100% the best hotel in whole Istanbul! First of all, the location is prime and right next to major sights of the city: 5 minute walk from Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, German Fountain, and Hippodrome; 15 minute walk to the Grand Bazaar; 5 minute walk to the tramway line T1; 15 minute walk to 2 nearby subway lines; 8 minute walk to Bosporus Strait; 5 minute walk to airport shuttle bus stop. The hotel staff are the best people I’ve met in Turkey: kind, helpful, and very hardworking. My room was cleaned every day, and cleaned really well. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and had many options to choose from. I, a vegetarian, never had a problem of choosing what to get. The hotel’s hamam is so amazing and personally used one booking per time, not like saunas in many hotels. I’ve also tried the massage, which was professional and the masseuse was kind to adjust it to my needs, paying attention to the areas I’ve pointed out. The room was great and the furniture nice and comfortable. I’ve had the best view of Bosporus Strait from my window with breathtaking sunrises and seagulls always posing for a shot. I also highly enjoyed the bathtub in my room, with all the toiletries. The hotel WiFi is fast and works well too. There’s an elevator in the hotel. The outdoor and indoor design is very attractive and Turkish style. I’ve worked out in the gym one morning, 6-7am, which was blissfully empty. There are various restaurants and shops to buy clothes, bags, jewelry, tea, sweets etc right next to the hotel. There are also 2 convenience stores with a wide range of fresh fruit, baklava, dairy and meat products, water and drinks 15 meters from the hotel. The receptionists, who are more than happy to help and available 24/7, called a taxi for me which arrived within 2 minutes. All in all, you can’t find a better place to stay at in the whole city!!
