The pictures are misleading. The property seems outdated. It took a lot of time for the water to heat up. That said the location was excellent and the staff was very helpful and friendly.
Hotel front desk staff was amazing. They were all so friendly and helpful.

Very nice and helpful staff. Very good located just a 10 minutes walk from Hagia Sofia, The Blue Mosque and other attractions. Area is very touristy though and over priced.
The room was not much bigger than a phone booth, the ac didn’t work ant the tv felt out when we opened the closet. Breakfast was not as good as one would hope

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

Lovely hotel. The place is spotless from the minute you walk into check in was quick and shown to your room.
Comfortable beds, shower gel shampoo ect all there would definitely stay again.
Only criticism would be they need soft close on toilet and the doors . We only got 3 hours sleep the night we have to be up for a flight as people in the r hall laughing knocking banging doors for hours. I did call down and staff did come up and address it but because all doors not soft close the banging continues .
Great location to all you would want to see
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.

Stayed on and off during trip and so had three different rooms. Great location, but hotel seems a bit under renovation. In all three rooms the TVs didn’t work (they couldn’t fix them - we didn’t care but others might). One room had no electricity and guy came and blew out whole floor. He fixed that but then AC didn’t work. One room shower didn’t work. Last room but not have been ready after a renovation - no soap holders in shower, no toilet paper holder, refrigerator not plugged in, TV not plugged in (and there was no where to plug it in. The cleaning women do a great job. The guys at front nice but not sure they know how to troubleshoot.
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.
Suitable location near historic sites. Staff were friendly and helpful.
The corridors had an unpleasant smell, the towels too. I’d rate it 3 stars maximum as a property overall.
Also the pictures of it shown on the application reflect luxury while the truth says otherwise.
"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."
