Gulec hotel is very average and overpriced for the facilities provided. Breakfast was bad. Rooms are very compact. There was ants in my room and there was no attention given to have it cleaned. The hotel is not accessible by wheelchair. Staff is rude especially the lady at the breakfast restaurant. Only positive this is it’s near by tram station and Sultanahmet. But in all an unpleasant stay.

Posizione ottima. Tra la spianata delle moschee ed il Gran Bazar. Esterno dell'hotel bello e curato. Camera d'angolo molto ampia. Colazione totalmente da rivedere. Pochissima scelta e non invitante. Prettamente turca senza nessuna spiegazione. Vista dalla terrazza molto bella.
