Review by hotel critic
My recent stay at Great Fortune Design Hotel & Spa in Istanbul was nothing short of extraordinary. the hotel's prime location in the heart of Sultanahmet made exploring the historic landmarks like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace a breeze, all within walking distance. The exceptional service provided by the staff, particularly Abo, Shah, and Bedran, truly elevated our experience. Their attentiveness and dedication to ensuring a 10-star service made our stay unforgettable. Special mention to Mr Hamdi and Mr Najmaddin for their warm welcome and hospitality, adding a personal touch to our visit. The spacious and clean room with premium bedding ensured a comfortable stay, while the delicious breakfast buffet offered a variety of options. the hotel's amenities like the spa, sauna, and hammam provided a relaxing retreat after a day of sightseeing. From the 24-hour front desk to the concierge services, the hotel catered to every need. the blend of Byzantine and Ottoman artistry in the modern architecture created a unique ambiance that felt like a second home in the center of Sultanahmet. In conclusion, Great Fortune Design Hotel & Spa exceeded all expectations, offering a perfect blend of comfort, history, and impeccable service. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul, and I can't wait to return with my fellow history enthusiasts to indulge in the rich cultural heritage this city has to offer.
