Guest Reviews
- vcouse (8/5): Don't panic its not that bad!!! - I must admit before I left the UK and after reading the reviews I panicked and tried to find another hotel even though we were only staying a few nights. Well what can I say it wasn't that bad!! Yes the room was small (standard) but it is a city break and unless you are paying top dollar you kind of expect that. It was clean the bathroom although small was usable but you could run off with the safe if you wanted as it was not bolted to anything 🤣. All the staff we engaged with with friendly and helpful. My only real criticism of the hotel is the amount of gentleman staying there for a hair transplant it's not what I ideally want to be looking at during breakfast, blood swamped bandages soon puts you off you breakfast apart from that a good little hotel in a fabulous location so don't panic 🙈
- sayekak2024 (6/5): Overall experience was ok, but not as expected! - We had a warm and pleasant check-in experience, welcomed by a young man named Yaseen. He was very helpful and shared great tips for getting around the city, which we truly appreciated. The hotel is in a fantastic location—just a few minutes’ walk from the main road and the tram station.
However, there were a few aspects of our stay that could be improved. The room was quite small for three adults, with limited space to move around. Housekeeping also seemed a bit inconsistent; the beds were made, but the floor did not appear to be cleaned, and the bathroom unfortunately had an unpleasant smell.
Noise was another issue, as we could hear a lot from both outside and within the hotel, suggesting that the sound insulation may need attention. Breakfast was also below expectations, with limited choices and not enough seating. The staff mentioned that items were finished by 9:30am, even though breakfast was advertised until 10:30am.
Additionally, only one of the two lifts was working during our stay. I experienced getting stuck in one of them and reported it to reception, but it did not seem to be addressed.
We stayed for three nights and spent most of our time exploring the city, but these issues did affect our overall comfort. The décor of the hotel could also benefit from some updating.
While the location and staff welcome were highlights, our overall experience was less pleasant than expected. I hope the hotel can take these points into consideration for future improvements.
- 469faheemaha (4/5): We don't recommend this hotel!! - We don’t know where to begin. My dad had booked this hotel for us, as it had a 4 star rating and had pool/spa facilities. We were a family of 10 that had travelled from London to Istanbul for the October Half Term.
On the night we checked in, we had issues with the rooms we booked, as they weren’t suitable for the number of guests we had in our group. We had booked one ‘superior triple room’ which was meant to have 3 single beds, but there was a double bed and a single bed instead. Also, the ‘superior double room’ wasn’t big enough for 3 guests, as we had to been led to believe when booking. The staff member who booked us in was also very rude and arrogant, he wasn’t wearing a name tag either. We had arrived at the hotel from the airport around midnight, so it was unnecessary stress to be disputing with hotel staff at that hour. After much back and forth, we were given an extra temporary room for the night. The next morning, there were 2 staff members that did assist us with our ‘superior double room’ issue - their names were Yasin and Kadir, and they were patient and helpful throughout our stay. The solution, in the end, was just to add an extra bed in our double room.
There were a number of inconveniences and issues with the rooms themselves. They looked nothing like the pictures and weren’t very easy to move in due to their small size. The water pressure was pretty terrible for the showers and bidets, and on one afternoon the water was cut completely!
The cleaning staff, however, were very friendly and were good in replacing our towels, water bottles and toiletries adequately. At one point, there was a shortage of water bottles, so water pouches (they looked like pudding cups) were given at the lobby upon request.
For one of our rooms, we had plumbing issues for three consecutive days. The toilet wouldn’t flush. We also had a power cut in two of the family rooms that we booked, this happened on the night we arrived.
We also found it quite strange that the bathrooms inside the rooms were see through. The glass had minimal frosting, and the door was a swing door that didn’t lock. This isn’t suitable for a family room, as you can literally see someone taking a shower or using the toilet.
We had booked breakfast with our stay - the breakfast area was very small and there was a queue to get a table every morning. The food options were decent, there was a mix of cheeses, fruits, baked goods and hot food. There was also drinks machine that dispensed water, coffee and fruit juices.
In terms of the pool and spa facilities at the hotel, the pool was shockingly small for one that is open to both hotel guests and the public. The steam room and sauna facilities were also quite cramped, and the steam room itself didn’t work very well.
- Zbeide (2/5): Great SCAM Hotel. Stinky WC, bad cleaning - The superior room size is about 10-12m2. Toilet stinks. Breakfast room needs better cleaning. The website and Internet presentation doesn't match reality. 2 stars,never 4! Kind staff however.
- 205charlieh (10/5): Lovely warm welcome in the heart of old town Istanbul - Exceptionally warm and professional welcome to the heart of Sultanahmet. We picked this hotel for the location as it is just a 5 minute walk from Sultanahmet Square. It is beautifully appointed in the lobby and our room was on the small side but perfectly suited to our long weekend. I would expect any hotel room in the depths of any old town in a city like Istanbul to be small anyway! The bed was very comfortable, AC very welcome, and it was quiet. Bathroom could do with replacement sink/toilet but was serviceable and the shower hot and easy to use. The breakfast room also needs renovation but the view makes up for a lot! We ended up eating out for breakfast after the first day as it was a bit cramped and busy for us and the food whilst ok didn't feel worth the queue and hectic start to the day. Breakfast also started a bit late for us at 8.30 which is when we wanted to be at the big attractions to miss the worst of the crowds anyway.
Finally the other lure was the pool and spa. The pool area was good but the pool itself is difficult to get around and in and out of due to the room layout and a wobbly ladder! Despite this, these facilities were a welcome retreat from the bustle of Istanbul and the pool itself was clean and lovely. Also it is the best hammam I've ever had and one of the best massages too.
I think all in all some of the facilities need some repairs/replacements and if you're looking for UK 4 star accomodation you will not get that. BUT if you want a comfortable stat with a host of great staff to look after you and who will go out of their way to help you navigate Istanbul, and be located right in the heart of it all with a little pool at your disposal then I can't recommend better. Thank you so much for a wonderful long weekend Great Fortune ❤️
- Zeeshan (2/5): - We stayed at this hotel recently and unfortunately the overall experience was disappointing. The property itself felt quite old and worn out, from the furniture to the bedding, which didn’t feel fresh or comfortable.
While the staff was polite and helpful throughout our stay, several facilities were not up to standard. A baby cot was not available on the first night, and when provided the next day, it appeared unclean and too small for our baby’s height. The iron board was tiny, the bin lid didn’t work properly, and the TV wasn’t functioning at all.
Breakfast was below average with limited variety, and there were no baby-friendly options such as porridge. For families traveling with young children, this was a major drawback.
Overall, despite the kind staff, the condition of the hotel and its amenities fell short of expectations.
- Levent (8/5): - Odalar temiz.personel güleryüzlü ve ilgili. Kahvaltı normal ama yer problemi var masalar yeterli değil.
- Raja Tayyab (10/5): - I had a truly wonderful experience at the Great Fortune Hotel & Spa. The hotel itself is in a fantastic location, offering both comfort and convenience, but what made my stay especially memorable was the outstanding service provided by the staff.
A very special thanks goes to Bunyamin, the receptionist, whose professionalism, kindness, and genuine hospitality made me feel welcomed from the very first moment. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect during my stay. His attention to detail, warm smile, and helpful guidance truly elevated my experience.
I would also like to sincerely thank his colleague Sarkan, who was equally attentive and courteous. Together, they created an atmosphere of comfort and trust, making me feel at home even while being away.
The hotel facilities, cleanliness, and spa experience were excellent, but it is the outstanding team spirit and dedication of Bunyamin and Sarkan that I will always remember. They are a real credit to the hotel, and because of them, I would not hesitate to recommend Great Fortune Hotel & Spa to anyone visiting Istanbul.
I look forward to returning soon.
- Wali786553 (10/5): Exceptional Service & Ideal Location Near Hagia Sophia - I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel during my recent trip to Istanbul. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to iconic sites like **Hagia Sophia**, the **Blue Mosque**, and the **Grand Bazaar**. It made exploring the historic heart of the city incredibly easy and enjoyable.
What made the experience truly unforgettable, though, was the **outstanding service**, especially from **Bunyamin and Sarkan**. These two went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and stress-free. Always friendly, helpful, and professional, they made me feel genuinely welcome and well cared for. Whether it was assisting with directions, arranging transport, or simply checking in to make sure everything was going well—they were fantastic.
The room was clean, quiet, and cozy—perfect after a day of sightseeing. Breakfast was fresh and generous, with a nice variety to suit all tastes.
I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. The location is perfect, and with amazing staff like Bunyamin and Sarkan, you can count on a first-class experience. I’ll definitely return!
- asifk497 (10/5): VERY PLEASED - Very helpful staff and would highly recommend. And thank you to Gurkan and team. Also hammam was reasonably prices with 20% extra of for residence.

Beautiful view from the kitchen
Not very expensive.
- Marcus (10/5): Meine Bewertung August 2025 - Es gibt eigentlich nur 2 Sachen die nicht 100% waren:
Instantkaffee zum Frühstück und der Frühstücksraum selber( Zu kein und schmutzige Scheiben- was die Aussicht auf die Hagia Sofia trübt) Allerdings wurde mir versichert das all dies noch dieses Jahr renoviert bzw. Verbessert werden würde. Würde ich wieder dieses Hotel buchen? Ich glaube schon.
- Marlyn (10/5): - A pleasent stay with a helpful reception and great location.a highly recommended.
- Greatler (10/5): - It was great — right in the city center, everyone was friendly, and the reception staff were very helpful, showing us the tourist spots on the map.
- Ismail (10/5): - "With its comfortable rooms and friendly staff, this hotel, which values everyone’s satisfaction, was ideal for making our holiday the best it could be. I recommend it."
- Imtiaz (8/5): - The only thing was the swimming pool was cold no heating.
- evasK7082GT (2/5): Thieves! - One of the dirtiest hotels ive been to! The room was filthy, skid marks in the toilet and dirty towels.
When i was out the housekeeping went through my belongings as i found my suitcases open and some of my make up missing!
Staff were not helpful and could barely speak english so anything i asked them they just said no!
I strongly urge you not to book here unless you’re looking for a bad time.
- Leon (4/5): - Room tiny couldn't walk around the bed no place for suitcase. Chose hotel for the pool and sauna/steam but they didn't work properly, pool very small and a bit dingy.
- Navigator59961919506 (8/5): Friendly, clean and superb location. - Excellent location in the middle of Sultanahmet. I went with my parents and children and the hotel kindly arranged a 3rd room for my children to have more space. The rooms were very comfy and clean, and staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant could do with a spruce, but had fantastic views of Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. Breakfast was fine.
- ciro (6/5): - Posizione centralissima, non è un 5 stelle. Bagno datato. Pulizia non ottimale. Colazione da rivedere completamente. Reception ottima. Accoglienza ottima
- Fatma (6/5): - Insgesamt war das Hotel in Ordnung. Das Frühstück hat uns leider überhaupt nicht gefallen. Die Hagia Sophia war nur ein Katzensprung entfernt, ebenso das Grand Bazar
- Rehan Ahmad (6/5): - A low end hotel with old building and otger facilities. The rooms and bathrooms are tiny, and the lifts can't accommodate more than 3 persons.
The best thing about the hotel is its location as it is conveniently located near the main attractions and also has lot of food options nearby.
The staff was friendly and supportive
.
- HANNAH (8/5): - Bra läge
- Boris (10/5): - Great place to stay, in the city centre, walking distance to all main attractions and shopping.
- Wasfi (10/5): - Hôtel très sympa et propre. Dispose d’un spa et d’une piscine couverte. Personnel très sympathique et gentil.
Proche du grand bazar, mosquée bleue et aya Sophia.
Recommandons vivement.
- Angela (8/5): - Great location really close by nice areas and attractions
Comfy bed and nice room
Breakfast was good selection
Staff were very nice Murat was very kind to help us
Access to the pool steps was difficult and the steam room was out of service
- Melih (10/5): - Sehr sauber gewesen, auf Wünsche sofort reagiert. Nur weiterzuempfehlen.
- V3815XUaleksandrak (10/5): Lovely hotel with very helpful staff - I had been stay in this hotel in first week of April, 2025. Nice, quite hotel with absolutely amazing and helpful stuff. Specially big thx to Fatma, Cader, Kadir, Bunyamin and Murat. They solve ALL issues what you can have in your mind. Definitely you must to visit spa in this hotel. Cause ladies work there very hard and try to make you happy. Cleaning ladies also very great. I had been staying in new renovated side....lovely. When I will visit Istanbul again I will definitely will choose this hotel again. Thx you
- H3114QFalisond (6/5): You get what you pay for but could be a load better - Great location near restaurants, tram stops and the key sights of Sultanahmet. However, the room was really small. Breakfast was not good, pastries were not cooked through, ‘hot’ food wasn’t hot and looked awful. Eating area was tired and dirty and needs updating. Staff were friendly - as you’d expect!
- mariamaS6913MJ (10/5): Awesome location & super friendly staff! - The room was clean, comfy, and had everything I needed. But the best part was the staff—everyone was super helpful and nice. They gave great tips on where to go and even helped me avoid overpaying at some touristy places.
Breakfast was really good too, with lots of options. Overall, just a chill and comfy place to stay. Would definitely come back!
- Y1665EYandream (10/5): Nice place to stay - Very amazing Hotel, everything you need for a trip.
It’s in the best position of Istanbul, you can easily reach everything you need.
It full of services and the staff is super kind (especially Onar and Kadir).
They have a lot of spa option where you can fully relax at a reasonable price!
- jrousewr (10/5): Good staff and good location hotel. - Very good hotel with good location and welcoming staff.
Location was very central, rooms were okay, reception were very helpful and welcoming.
Would defiantly book again and come back.
If you need to book anything or need to know please speak with reception they are very helpful.
- francescopE7396CQ (2/5): Doesn’t look as in the pictures at all - I’m a guest at the Great Fortune Hotel & spa and am deeply disappointed with the state of the hotel. The staff is nice and helpful. However, that doesn’t make up for how deceiving their website pictures are. There is no view of the Bosphorus whatsoever from the hotel, in fact our window faces an internal courtyard which is fenced with barbed wire. The only peak you may get of the beautiful landscape is from a very sacrificed terrace on the 4th floor which is kept in the same state of a construction site “which is in fact set up just next door”. I would also add that you will not get a taste of the magnificent Turkish food from their kitchen, their breakfast does not make it to 1 star. All of this set us back 740£ for 5 nights which would otherwise go a long way in a city like Istanbul. I strongly suggest to look elsewhere!!
- U7311FOvalentinam (4/5): Small hotel facing dirty noisy backstreets and yard - Small rooms with basic furniture, they only show photos of the best rooms they have. Breakfast is horrible, İ was only able to eat some cheese and fed the resident cats with the ham. Nothing is good quality in the miserable roof terrace called restaurant
The water is only dripping for over 100 euro per night, if you want to take a shower you must go to the spa facilities in the basement.
Very disappointing, have no idea how they got the four stars. İnferior rooms with glass bathrooms sold for 'superior'
- Keith11221 (2/5): They cheat at front desk, they skimming the people - The room is very small and even after requesting during booking about the hotel when we went to check in they still gave a small room. Also requesting for late check out the person said yes then he was on day off on the day we were to ✔️ out n the other person insisted we check out at 12 when we had requested for 3 and booking of cab by them for 3. He insisted that we leave the room and said the cab will come at 3
