How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.
About 0.3 km from Hagia Sophia in Fatih, Istanbul
The Gul Sultan Hotel is a guest house at Akbiyik Caddesi 9, in the Cankurtaran neighbourhood of Fatih, Istanbul. It sits about 0.3 km in a straight line from Hagia Sophia, with the Sultan Ahmed Mosque about 0.4 km away, the Basilica Cistern about 0.4 km and Hagia Irene about 0.4 km. Topkapı Palace is about 0.8 km from the door.
Further out, Sirkeci railway station is about 1.1 km away and Süleymaniye Mosque about 1.8 km, in a straight line. Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen International Airport is about 30 km away.
From an 18 m² single to a 25 m² triple
There are four room types, and the range is narrow: everything falls between 18 and 25 m². A solo traveller takes the Single Room, 18 m² with one twin bed, sleeping one. A couple chooses between the two doubles: the Economy Double Room is 18 m² with a queen bed, while the Double Room is 20 m² with a double bed; both sleep up to two, and the difference between them is two metres of floor space and the bed.
The Triple Room is the largest and the only room that sleeps more than two: 25 m², one double bed and one twin bed, sleeping up to three. Because children are not allowed at the property, this is a room for three adults sharing rather than a family option; the twin bed suits whoever prefers not to share the double.
| Room type | Size | Beds | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Double Room | 18 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 2 |
| Triple Room | 25 m² | 1 twin bed, 1 double bed | up to 3 |
| Double Room | 20 m² | 1 double bed | up to 2 |
| Single Room | 18 m² | 1 twin bed | up to 1 |
A guest house on a small scale
This is a guest house rather than a full-scale hotel, and the scale is small: four room types in total.
Check-in, check-out and house rules
The practical rules are strict on two counts: neither children nor pets are allowed, which makes the property adults-only throughout.
- Check-in from 13:30; check-out until 12:00.
- Children are not allowed.
- Pets are not allowed.
- Parking is paid.
Who it suits and who it does not
The Gul Sultan suits adults travelling without children: a solo traveller in the Single Room, a couple in either double, or three adults sharing the Triple Room.
It does not suit families with children in any form, since the rule allows no exceptions, and it does not suit anyone travelling with a pet. Drivers should note that parking costs extra.
