GLK Acropol staff was very kind and helpful throughout our stay in Istanbul, especially Mustafa and Emre. Hussein at reception was helpful in arranging the Bosphorus Cruise for us as well as transfer back to IST on our departure day. Although the hotel is a bit old, the management has kept it well maintained. The location of the hotel is phenomenal, however do keep in mind there several bars on this street, if you sleep in early be aware it can be some what noisy at night.

We recently stayed at this lovely boutique hotel with our family of eight ( including 86 years old and 8 years old) and it was everything we could have hoped for in a vacation! The hotel’s intimate, elegant design provided the perfect blend of comfort and charm. The location couldn’t be better – just a short, easy walk to all the historical sites we wanted to explore. The views from the 5th floor were breathtaking - views of Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque and Marmar sea. But what truly made our stay unforgettable was the staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home. From morning to night, they were kind, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, helping with arrangements of tours, transportation etc, they treating us as if we were family. Everyone was amazing, but I would like especially mention Husain and Jasmine. If you’re looking for a place that feels both luxurious and inviting, with amazing location and service, this hotel is an absolute gem. We can’t wait to return!

One star is far too generous for GLK Premier Acropol Suites & Spa. Our stay was a complete disaster from start to finish. The hotel is nothing like the glossy photos online. The advertised "suites" were cramped, poorly maintained, and lacked basic amenities. Most egregious was the complete lack of WiFi in our room. After reporting the issue, we waited over an hour for staff who were utterly unhelpful and unable to resolve the problem. With important work commitments, we were forced to abandon our reservation after just one hour and scramble to find alternative accommodation. Thankfully, we managed to secure a far superior hotel nearby, highlighting just how substandard the GLK Premier truly is. To add insult to injury, it's been over a week since we requested a refund, and management has been completely unresponsive. Their lack of communication and refusal to address the blatant failure to provide the services we paid for is unacceptable. Avoid this place at all costs; your time, money, and sanity will thank you.

A perfect base for exploring historic Istanbul. 5 to 10 minutes walk to the big 3 major sites.Hussein, Emre and the rest of the team looked after us and treated us like family for the 10 days we stayed. Rooms are fantastic and for an extra special stay book the top floor balcony rooms with views straight out onto Hagia Sofya. Breakfast was brilliant with lots of turkish foods & treats. Will definitely stay again.

The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Staff were polite and helpful. We had booked a balcony room but at night time it was too noisy due to the night clubs outside. We reported to reception and the manager changed our room to sea view which was very peaceful and quiet. The manager explained they are having sound proof windows installed next month. Breakfast was good. The hotel is in the heart of sultan Ahmet so nice hustle and bustle .

Great location for walking to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Gulhane Park and Topkapi Palace. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Mustafa, Emre and the young lady helping at the breakfast buffet. Only downside is the loud music from one of the bar/restaurants across the road which went on until 2am on a couple of nights.

breakfast was good, staff was kind. The hotel was in a centeal area of Istanbul but very touristy and it felt very overwhelming. I understand he restaurants are trying to encourage you to come into their establishment but as women traveling we often felt harrassed when we would step out of our hotel.

Read the entire thing. The location is convenient, walkable to main mosques and cafes. Rooms are small and the lighting needs an update, can’t see anything in the rooms. Spa is nice, good sauna and steam room. Gym is super small with 3 treadmills and a couple of weights. Now, the hotel is located on the Main Street with trashy bars, loud music starts after 11 pm and lasts past 2 am. I asked if they can give us another room, the answer was NO. I haven’t slept for 3 night straight, what a great vacation right there. The hotel is outdated and old, but well maintained and personnel is sweet, rooms were always fixed and cleaned on the daily basis. We asked for a transfer to the airport in the morning with the price of $60. When it was a time to pay the manager claimed it’s 60 Euros and quoting “I don’t care what currency you use”, suddenly when they got all their money they became extremely unprofessional and rude. Suit yourself if you want to stay at a place like that. Personally for me - I wouldn’t recommend
