Only The Egyptian guys working there were helpful otherwise it was a bad experience in comparison to the surrounding hotels. The Turkish receptionist doesn't know how to smile. Bad bathroom, no restaurant, no area to keep the bags for few hours after checking out otherwise you have to pay full room, it was very poor hotel

It was good. We arrived late at night and people were friendly in the neighborhood to help us find the hotel from the tram station. The picture on the hotel.com site is not a picture of the hotel, but rather the hotel across the street.

Nightmare for 2 nights!

Location is great, echoing other reviewers, and nothing else is. The room was so tiny that we couldn't even open our suitcases. The air conditioner broke down TWICE (once each day/night, in the middle of August!) and the second time around we were handed a fan. Front desk did not take responsibility of the second time air con broke, saying how they did their part and got us a repair. What kind of logic is that? More so, hot water was turned off when we tried to take a shower at 6pm.
Their wifi also is unusable for 1.5 days - I've voiced out to the front desk. Watch out if you are staying at this hotel, the proprietor told me I can give him poor ratings all I want, he just won't take responsibility for any of these problems.

Comfy and well located

Staff did not know much information about some tourist places, but we're always eager to help. Wi-Fi kept dropping off and was slow. Breakfast was really good, single room was small, but clean and bed was quite comfortable.

Small hotel - cheap, too, and well placed..BUT...

I stay frequently in Istanbul, having family there. My usual hotels, nearby in fact, were booked out so I plumped for this one. It took ages to find, for the online map was incorrect. It is adequate but minimal....fine if you want to spend the minimum on a room but in a particularly noisy spot with people eating and drinking nearby outside till 2am or later. There is double glazing (and air conditioning ) but the noise was still unsettling.

Good location

Good location- it's in between 2 tram stops; short walking distance to Gulhane park; close to Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern. Very safe even to walk at night. Matt at the front desk was very helpful, friendly and pleasant. Our 2-twin bed room was relatively small but comfortable; contemporary in design.

Good location but lots of street noise

This hotel was fine for the price we paid - €50 for a twin. There was a lot of street noise especially from the tram going by outside. Breakfast was the usual tea/coffee, bread, cheese, croissants, cookies , eggs.

Bad Service

Hotel is very hard to find. Extra small rooms and bathrooms. very uncomfortable beds. Horrible service at the front desk. The only positive is that it's located in the center of everything and walking distance to all the points of interest around there.

Paid when I initially booked the room then was swindled for cash when I checked In. I will never return to turkey simply because of the hotel clerk taking cash after I had already paid by card.

Good location

We booked a family room for 5 people with an extra bed free of charge but when we arrived we were told that the room does not accommodate more than 4 people so had to pay for an extra room. The bathroom shower was leaking and rooms were very small. Taxi was arranged for us by the hotel and I thought the taxi fare was high. Staff were very friendly and the location was close to famous tourist sites.

Great Location and staff at Gulhane Corner Hotel

I am very satisfied with this hotel. I was emailed by one of the staff thanking me for booking me at their family run hotel. The staff offered me a private transportation to their hotel. Since I am new to Istanbul I booked the private transfer. I came in after midnight because traffic was heavy. There was Ramadan celebration plus it was a Saturday. I did not have Turkish currency to buy water so the staff went out the way to buy me a large bottle of water and did not charge me for it. The staff was helpful. They gave me instructions on how to ride the bus system. They assisted me by showing me where is the full service laundry mat which is near by.
As for location the famous Blue Mosque, Sophia church and museums such as the Topeka palace are near by. Just about a fifteen minute walk. The staff will give you a free map to show you where to go. Also I suggest buying the fast track Museum card to have faster access to all of the museums. One museum that is not walking distance is the Chora church. It is part of the Fast Track card. Just get the bus instruction on how to get there. Also when you walk from the hotel the to the bus station. You will see another beautiful Mosque and famous bazaar where spices and Turkish delights are being sold.

Central, comfortable and extremely good value

We really enjoyed our stay at Gulhane Corner. The staff were amazing, very helpful and helped us with all of our concerns. Our room was also in very good condition, with heating and hot water available at all times of day and an air conditioner. Bathroom also very new.

This booking was extremely good value and being in such a central location, on one of the main roads allowed us to get more of our trip.

Breakfast also very hearty and healthy. We enjoyed the salad options available. Many thanks to all of the team in the hotel and Salahuddin on our check out.

Ok.. små rom, rimelig

Dette er et billig hotell, med små trange rom. Renhold bad ok, men dusj var nok glemt. Aircondition lekker ned i seng, men skulle utbedres til neste gjest. Tett beliggenhet på mye trafikk, men rolig ..Gode senger og trygt. Frokost veldig enkel, men duger..

Good location but room is not clean

L’hotel se situe dans un bon emplacement. Le petit dejeuner est correcte. Le personnel de nuit est aimable. Mais la chambre n’est pas propre. Draps sales, literie sale et qu’on ne change pas. une très mauvaise odeur parvient de la douche en plus de la très forte odeur de la cigarette. En plus, Au lieu d’un lit double j’ai eu deux lits simples réunis.

Absolut untergekommenes Hotel

Die Bilder im Netz entspricht nicht der Realität. Die Zimmer sind ungepflegt und das Hotel stinkt allgemein. Keine Decken und keine Schampoos im Zimmer. Das Bad hat überall Schimmel und die Einrichtung bzw. die Möbel im Zimmer sind faulig und untergekommen.
Personal kümmert sich nicht um Ihre Gäste. Beim Gehen wird nur gegrinzt und Kommen wird mal nicht mal angeschaut.
