Guests consistently praise Grand Hotel Gulsoy Old City's fantastic location, finding it convenient for accessing key attractions like the Sehzade Mosque, right across the street, and the Grand Bazaar, as well as metro and tram lines. Many appreciate the clean and spacious rooms, some with spectacular views, along with amenities such as the pool, hammam and gym.

mixed feelings about the stay

room noise antiquated television
the location was acceptable, being close to landmarks.
The room was too noisy. Music from a nearby restaurant continued late into the night! the television was antiquated and barely worked. accessing the internet was also unnecessarily complex because i needed to remember my passport number for the wi-fi password.
