GLK PREMIER Sea Mansion Suites & Spa - Special Class

Old ihotel with very poor amenities

Very clean room, friendly and helpful staff, great breakfast- very happy with our stay. I would stay again.

The room and view were excellent.

Excellent boutique hotel with very helpful staff. Great location for historic sites and restaurants. The breakfast buffet was a little heavy on salads, olives and other foods better suited for lunch, but still had enough options for a good breakfast. No hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Safe

Liked the place the only issue I had was that the employees smoke at the front door and the entire hotel fills up with smoke.

All employees friendly and very helpful. I would come here again.

Fab hotel, friendly staff. Clean and well cared for. Near a railway line

Hôtel très agréable, proche de tous les sites majeurs à voir, et dont le personnel est très serviable.

Hotel has a hammam. Wonderful!! Excellent breakfast.

I paid good money to stay here because I wanted a room with a balcony and view to the sea, instead I got a room with no view, dirty and old and on top of that the shower was missing a door. When i complained I was ignored.

This was a great little find. Comfortable, clean room, great breakfast and friendly staff. Set in a quiet street less than 10 minutes’ walk from The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Really enjoyed my stay here.

I had a fantastic stay But what it made our stay unforgettable was the treat of Salih with his recommendations and always receiving us with a big smile asking about our day I recommend this hotel over others in ths area special if you book a room with bosphorous view Breakfast is good , Luba is also great smiling and attentive and area is walkable distance to all the main attractions

A great hotel with excellent staff who genuinely can’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable. V good location for sultanahmet, blue mosque etc.

Great property in an excellent location. We were able to walk to all of the biggest attractions

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Location was good as we had tours booked for the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. Very comfortable stay!

Fantastic!!! If you’re looking for a super comfortable hotel with stunning views, excellent staff, great breakfast, lovely location at a good price look no further. Special thanks to Salih for helping us with a missing bag. He and Ali were both lovely. Recommend the airport transfer option they offer. Worth every cent to arrive with no hassle.

Excellent sea view from room and breakfast area over looks parts of a Roman wall and sea. Young staff were great but all in general were nice. Was nice to have access to a gym even though we did not use it. It would be nicer to have a cooler temperature in breakfast, entry and hallways. The room needed repair in regard to balcony door and cracked tub.

The staff amazing people ❤️

GLK was the absolute best!!! Absolutely love this place!!!

Clean, comfy and quiet in Istanbul Old City. Walking distance to Blue Mosque, Haggia Sophia, Basilica Cisterns and Grand Bazaar

Excelent customer services and very good communications. The breakfast was good. The downfall was it was bit an old fashion, needs to update the rooms.

Not worth the money I paid The property was not accessible as states had narrowl sharp down hill entry and stairs not good for wheelchair Although the staff were willing to help and accommodate I wasn’t happy because I paid so much for the accessibility and it wasn’t there. I didn’t like the location it said a see view but only a tiny fraction The staff especially at breakfast were dry and unwelcoming The rooms were large and clean

Staff VERY friendly and area is very romantic and unique.

Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Wonderful feiendly caring staff good with kids and very helpful

Everything was great. The train was close to our bedroom and the bads was not comfortable. Everything else was OK. No laundry in the room. we have to pay money to wash our clothes and the room was a little bit smaller for us which we see online. was different. that’s all.

staff was very friendly and helpful specially Melike and Beyza

Good peoples but the area was really bad and the room I got was not the one they advertised so I paid 120 USA a DAY for nothing I regret going there man.i wish I didn’t spend that much

The staff at this hotel were excellent very knowledgeable and friendly

Ok.

Staff were helpful and kind Location is great and wish the rooms were a bit bigger felt a bit cramped The rest was awesome thank you

Staff was excellent

The hotel staffs were very helpful and friendly which made our stay in Istanbul very stress free.

Ants on the floor. Can hear everything from the neighbouring suite. Curtain holders broken. Frosted applique on bathroom door peeling off. Glass shower pane loose and no door. Bathroom fan ineffective. Not enough drawer space nor hangers. Hair conditioner hard to come by. Minibar expensive. Nice that the bathroom was upgraded. Breakfast included but same everyday. Bed blanket too small. The view was nice. Balcony furniture musty. Gym is tiny but there are free weights. Great location. They would shut off AC after making up the room. Housekeeping loud while moving about. Staff nice.

Excellent prope

It's a charming hotel in a great location. The staff are friendly and helpful. The breakfast was of good quality. Shahil was very helpful.

The hotel is located to the far side of the old town, which is to the far side of Istanbul total. The trip to the airport at SAW was about 1.5 hours in a non-air conditioned van. The main beds in each suite are fine. The additional beds at narrow with a thin mattress, like a cot. That might be fine, if yo are traveling with small children. It was not so good with three grown adults. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were okay. The same every morning. The air-conditioning in the hotel room was a life-saver in the heat of Istanbul. We were able to rest well.

upon arrival late afternoon, our delux room with sea view was not available. the alternative room was noisy. No bed sheets!! This for 2 nights. Our experience was disturbed by these facts. We had the impression that some staff members were manipulative and not up to it: reception in the afternoon shift. "Wonderful" as per your rating? definitely not.

It was very homely and comfortable. Felt safe. My room was spacious enough for me and my daughter. The staff were very very pleasant and accommodating. Always greeted you with smiles. They were always ready to provide any information or services we needed. Breakfast downstairs was good. Highly recommend this hotel.

Salih is amazing. Personel is excellent.

We had a wonderful stay at GLK Premier Sea Mansion Suites & SPA! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the front desk staff who provided great recommendations for local restaurants. I also appreciated the helpfulness of the concierge who gave us great directions and tips for exploring the city. I highly recommend this hotel!" The staff exceeded our expectations!… They treated us like family and truly made our visit to Istanbul more special!. They went above and beyond!.. They even escorted us to our car when we were leaving!… Nice eee

The entire staff was amazing and helpful to everyone. I would highly recommend the location of this hotel as well as the staff went out of their way to help in any way needed.

Very nice and helpful staff, clean room, good breakfast, nice sea view room, quiet, safe, and good location. We loved our stay very much.

I can go on and on complimenting this hotel, very conveniently located among the most iconic attractions in Istanbul, very friendly staff, amazing breakfast with breathtaking view and much more, highly recommend it

Just returned from a one week stay. Superb location walkable to all major sites. The hotel is in a quiet area although steps away from the major sites. The local neighborhood has numerous good bars, restaurants as well as convenience stores. The hotel overlooks the sea and certainly the room we had with balcony had superb views. The staff at the hotel were excellent throughout. Always available to help out with any recommendations - all of which were great choices. We really enjoyed our weeks stay here.

Convenient location but tucked away and quiet. The kindest staff!! Only cons were small bedrooms, and lack of actual gym - but we spent a lot of time outside so was not so much a nuisance in the end.

Very helpful and welcoming staff. Breakfast buffet was elaborate and nice. Well appointed rooms. Reasonably central location, away from the bustle but walkable to it.

The staff were wonderful. Treated us like a family.

view and quietness- kind of tucked away from the busyness of the city streets

The staff was exceptional in every way! I plan to return to Istanbul in the future and this hotel will definitely be my home base during my stay!

It was very good. We are happy with the trip. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. I have to thank Mr. Salih for his nice recommendations regarding attractions and good restaurants.

Amazing location with the beautiful sea views. Only 300m from Blue Mosque. Central location to all attractions. Very friendly and helpful staff.

The whole staff at the Hotel is very friendly and helpful Thank you especially to Melike and Luba. The bathroom lights need to be replaced, as they are very dim.

Great location

Great view …upgraded the room friendly staff

We got the best room in the hotel looking out the bosphorus. The staffs are very friendly and helpfull. Just everything you need and the best things are walk to everything's. Sultanahmet is the best place to stay for first time.

Not really a 4 star hotel, more like 3 star at the best. Good location and great staff made the stay satisfactory but the room we had on the top floor was very small. The view out to the Bosphorous was very good. Breakfast was good. Very good room service each day which we don't normally use but did here as this helped with the stay. It needs a good makeover but I understand the economic realities of trying to do this in this economy. Not expensive by any means and so value was good.

Most positive elements were friendly staff and proximity to The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. Room was cute but small for the three of us (we travelled with our 14-year-old). Night staff was helpful but had limited English proficiency. Day staff was also helpful and had better command of English. Byzantine little street is cute but a little impractical. We found a nice little restaurant a block away and the Hippodrome and Blue Mosque are only a couple of blocks farther. Nice view out our window of the sea and an ancient wall being refurbished. We asked the evening clerk for a recommendation about live music and were directed to a live show a quick car drive away. The music was canned and the show was mostly belly dancing and some regional folk dancing, which wasn't really what we were looking for.

Nice stay in the center of Istanbul!

Great stay in the hotel, friendly staff providing excellent service. The gym however is not a gym, so the gym, sauna and wellness facilities need more space.

Nice hotel with very friendly staffs. Also,location is very good for traveling the tourist area.Bathroom is not very clean even though room service cleaned.Their breakfast is also ok,can be have more varieties.

Good hotel, good location!

Team of hotel very professional and sympathetic. Good location and calm

There are so many great things about this property. I’d start with the amazing staff, so helpful and friendly, accommodating your every needs. The location is perfect for exploring the old city, walking distance to major attractions as well as dozens of restaurants and shops. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and I can genuinely recommend GLK Premier Sea Mansion Suites and Spa for your next trip to Istanbul!

Charming hotel, great location, highly efficient and professional staff. Only quibbles are that the foam pillows are hard as rocks and breakfast coffee is substandard. A Nespresso machine that does not cost extra at least at breakfast if not in all rooms would add a lot, as would daily fresh water bottles. Charging extra for those amenities seems a bit chintzy; I would suggest just increasing the daily room rate by $5 for everyone would more than cover the added costs. View of the Sea of Marmara from our room and the breakfast area is fantastic. Travelers with mobility challenges should be warned that the area, like much of Istanbul, can be a bit difficult to navigate by walking.

Good location, great staff, excellent breakfast. Rooms and bathrooms are dated, and the gym is nonexistent (just a couple of treadmills).

Very nice staff, clean, nice breakfast and good view.

The property was upscale and clean, better than the surrounding hotels. The hotel had a very friendly manager Salih, he was very accommodating, and was there for anything I needed. I recommend this hotel, would stay here again. 5/5

This location is great if you’re interested in seeing the older area of Istanbul with the historical buildings all close by. There are restaurants everywhere nearby, as well as markets and shopping.

Great staff. Clean. Good location

Had a wonderful time at GLK. The upgraded room , which had a spacious balcony, was very much appreciated. The room was somewhat spacious and well appointed. The bathroom and shower were also very good. The location was borh quiet and quite convenient to all the nearby attractions. Very safe neighborhood. Finally, the staff were very friendly and informative, and catered to all your needs. Would highly recommend this hotel. Thanks to all at GLK for making our week long stay memorable.

I booked this hotel for the Turkish Bath. I received very little information about the process, even after stating that this was my first Turkish bath. After an hour in the sauna and bath, I tried calling for my attendant. The phone didn't work. I finally went out to the front desk to ask. He told me that I had no attendant since I didn't sign up for the massage. WHAT?? Therefore, I wasted an hour in a sauna/steam room without getting the scrub that IS part of a Turkish bath. My one and only time to experience a Turkish bath didn't happen and was a waste of time. Very disappointed.

Location is very convenient to major sites. Staff was very friendly and helpful

There were two great highlights to this hotel - the location and the front desk representative, Salih. The hotel is a few minutes walk from Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, and Basilica Cistern. Salih was warm and welcoming and helped with a nice dinner recommendation. He gave me a nice welcome drink of water and orange juice. The hotel itself was just okay. Breakfast was decent, but needed more protein options. My main challenges were with the maintenance and general room conditions. The shower head sprayed everywhere, there seemed to be sand all over my floor, and the pillows were very flat.

easy to access to most of old city and cozy room with a view of mosque and sea

The image of the room i thought i was getting was not what i was given. I paid for a suite to sleep 3 people , what i got was a very small double room with a pop up bed and the tram ran until midnight right underneath my window. I had no option but to check out after our first night . I feel i have been overcharged for a much smaller room at premium price . Breakfast was ok. The staff seemed nice though.

Fabulous staff. My only suggestion is to replenish complimentary bottled water as needed as tap was not potable. It was inconvenient to have to stop for a large bottle every day. Otherwise I highly recommend this hotel and will be returning with my husband.

I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Everything exceeded my expectations. I would gladly come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Not worth the price. I had to leave in 2 hours of getting the room as it was terrible.

Very supportive staff, great room with good views and convenient location.

Booked a view with a sea view and a balcony. Was at first given a room in the basement of a their annex building, which in face did not have a sea view, instead it had a view of some construction and train tracks that shook the room when trains passed by, and had bugs in the bathroom. After the first night in the basement, was moved up a floor in the annex building, and still did not have the sea view of balcony that I booked. I appreciate that the management tried to help out, but I was given significantly less than I paid for.

Great people. Great views from balcony

The room was beautiful, comfortable and had an amazing view. The staff was helpful and friendly and the breakfast was perfection.

Great location, very close to Blue Mosque

The hotel is located within a short walking distance to the Blue Mosque. It is very convenient. We booked a room with a view of the Bosporus, which is worth the extra costs as the view is incredible. We pre-arranged airport pickup with the hotel. The instructions as to pick-up location were a bit confusing and we had to call the hotel for clarifications. But other than that, everything went very smoothly.

Amazing location, amazing hospitality. Perfect place to stay!

Incredibly friendly and welcoming staff. The location was excellent and the fitness room was lovely. Will definitely book again the next time I’m in Istanbul. Thank you so much!

It was a good Experience, Staffing is very Friendly and helpful , they just need to work on The Breakfast Manu more and to have more Variety with the TV Channels they have , Barely some workes and all are in Turkish! But overall it was a good experience and definitely I recommend it

It was a really pleasant stay and Melike was so helpful. Thank you for making our stay great. Also thank you to the staff! They were polite and pleasant.

the staff are veu

The hotel is in a great area and walking distance from all the tourist attractions. Around the hotels they’re even have great restaurants, shopping and grocery stores. I really loved this hotel but most important the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. Whatever we asked they were always there to help us . I would also highly recommend the massages and the hammas bath with Elena and her sister . They were the best I had is Turkey.

Incredible staff, very welcoming and helpful. Any time we needed suggestions they were happy to assist and we were happy each time. Wonderful location easy to access from the airport, but still right next to the most important sites. Quiet with wonderful views. We purchased with the breakfast and it was fresh and filling each morning.

Nice location and reasonable price and helpful staff.

The room was very nice. The staff were very kind and helpful.

Wonderful leisurely stay in beautiful surroundings with the friendliest staff. Great to have access to the hamam and a good breakfast with a wonderful view of the sea.

Hotel close to main historical buildings and shops. Friendly and helpful staff in the hotel.

Staff helped us with directions to find whatever we needed. The bedroom was comfortable and quiet. The surrounding environment around the hotel had many cute cats! Easy to feed and the cats are very cuddly and social.

Excellent

The staff was very helpfull. They made me feel welcomed. The place is clean, the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was tasty. Location is perfect for sightseeing. I will return with the family. 1 improvement can be made; the breakfast coffee could be better.
