Gulhane Hotel Old City

Great location lovely apartment - would stay again - shame about the lack of wifi

Pros: The location really was perfect to see the sights, the apartment was just what we needed warm, welcoming, clean & good value. The little kitchen was great.

Cons: Shame the wifi wasn't working & free breakfast didnt include coffee (at home my breakfast is ONLY coffee :))

Pros: An interesting accommodation experience: it's not Gulhane Hotel Old City ... it's Hotel Safrane; it's not a hotel, there are apartments in an autonomous building, above the Safrane restaurant from Gulhane area; it's not the Hotel Gulhane, where maps takes you, but the restaurant of the Hotel Safrane from Gulhane tram station. It is clear, yes ? You won't understand anything. But you will have the sensational experience of very long days, started very early, at about 6.00 a.m. when the first tram that passes by the building, creaking on the rails, wakes you up. You will count the next trams like sheeps when you want to sleep, but in one hour, at about 7:00 a.m. you will jump out of bed like a spring at the howling from the speakers of the muezzin from the close Hagia Sophia, who is performing the morning prayer. If you want an extreme experiences, try it. You will leave there like from the Shutter Island.

Great location but make sure you receive check-in information in advance

Pros: Excellent location for sightseeing, tidy & comfortable (although sofa bed in lounge only suitable for one)

Cons: Unfortunately a lack of communication from property meant we arrived with no idea how to get into our apartment & the phone number provided was for a staff member who had left the business. There is quite a bit of noise from restaurants/trams underneath window but bearable in the highest rooms with earplugs & goes quiet at midnight.

Pros: The staff went beyond themselves to be of assistance. The place is small but nice and although situated over a busy restaurant, no noise goes up. The position of the apartment cannot be more central and still it is secluded.

Cons: There were no extra blankets and covers - thus we could have used the second room and our stay would have been more comfortable.

Pros: The landlord is very enthusiastic and solves the problem quickly. Although the room is not big, the basic facilities are intact and clean. The location is perfect, basically in the scenery. The restaurant downstairs is not noisy.

Pros: Amazing location; right In front of one of the entrances to Gulhane park & short walks to all places of interest in Sultanahmet but it's on a quieter side so it's not too hectic outside. Also close to the tram stop. The rooms were lovely, clean & comfortable. Towels & slippers provided. Daily housekeeping & fresh towels. Efficient & good communication with clear & easy self check in option.

Cons: The bathroom does have some wear & tear & slightly on the smaller side but we didn't find it to be an issue to be honest. The trams do pass by but we didn't find the noise to be intrusive or an issue for us

Pros: It is conveniently located near the tram station, just one station away from the Sultan Ahmed area. Guests can easily walk to the Sultan Ahmed (Blue Mosque, Aya Sofya) area. The hotel is also situated right in front of Gulhane Park.

Great location

Pros: Great location, surprisingly quiet. A pleasant flat.

Cons: Quite small, but fine for a night or two.

Pros: Great location within a walkable distance by the historic center of Constantinopole with all the amenities, clean and tidy.

Perfect

Pros: Central position, all comforts inside the apartment and the owner was always ready to solve any problem
