Gloria Suites Old City

Very Good
Traveller Type:
  : On the positive side, the location is excellentvery close to the Blue Mosque (20 min walking), which made sightseeing incredibly convenient. The staff were also very accommodating, allowing us to check in early at no extra charge. Additionally, the price was quite affordable, making it a good option for budget travelers.
  : However, there were several downsides. The hotel is situated on a tiny, noisy road, with drivers constantly using their horns, which disturbed my sleep at times and it was noisy during the day. The location is on a hill, so be prepared for some uphill walking. There is no elevator, and the steps are tiny, which made carrying luggage up and down quite difficult. The cleanliness of the room was not up to my expectations, and some of the furniture and fixtures looked worn out and in need of replacement.Furthermore, the ad mentioned a sea view, but this was misleading. You can only see a tiny bit of the sea if you look in a specific direction, which was disappointing. Additionally, there are two buildings; the main office is in a different building, located about a 3-minute walk from the one we stayed in, which was a bit inconvenient.

  : The location is in the center, near Grand Bazaar
  : The three floor stairs to the facility and the staff.

Pleasant
Traveller Type:
  : The hosts were very friendly and nice. Also , they were helpful about any questions we had about Istanbul. The rooms very very clean, we got cleaning everyday. Also the sea was not far, and many restaurants all around!
  : We put some of our clothes next to the window , seems the wall or the window somewhere was leaking, as the next morning all of our clothes were fully wet. We also expected a little bit bigger room, it was nice and clean, but a bit small for 2 persons. Some of our neighbours were very loud; they were slamming the door all the night. The wi-fi also didnt work well .

  : Daily cleaning with towel change, 2 beds, working aircon, 5min uphill walking distance to Laleli street with a tram station. Wifi connection was stable.
  : You have to be prepared to find yourself in the ugly and noisy environment. It's an old building with smell that cannot vanish after use of aroma sticks. Surrounded by the shoes manufacturing in the basement of each building. Noisy as close to the road, waking up at 5am as close to minaret (mosque is just 100m away), rubbish outside, smells with cats urine. The room itself on the 2nd floor with narrow stairs, small and requires renovation, with mold in the bathroom. However, it was clean and administrator who greeted us was very nice and supportive.
