“Grand Hotel Gulsoy Old City puts you within reach of Istanbul's cultural icons; you're steps away from the Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, and Haghia Sophia. I especially appreciate the blend of traditional decor with modern comforts, plus that rooftop terrace promises memorable city views while you dine or unwind. In my opinion, this hotel positions you perfectly for an immersive Istanbul experience.”
