Great Fortune Hotel & Spa Reviews

My friend and I went on a short trip. We were truly impressed by the hotel’s modern design and panoramic views. Having breakfast included and free access to the spa was amazing. The reception staff was extremely helpful and provided 24/7 support. It’s a trustworthy place that I would highly recommend.

It has nothing to do with the photos on the website, nothing like 4 stars. They gave us a room on the ground floor, in front of the elevator. We were cold the first night and had to call reception three times to check the hot air. We asked for a change and it was not possible. The facilities were quite bad. The breakfast was very poor. The area is very central, but it is better to look for another hotel. The photo is of the closed door! Run your finger through the door!

At the lobby they were very friendly and hospitable, my biggest annoyance was the breakfast and the location of the breakfast, roller blinds that were constantly fluttering due to the wind and so you get the sun in and get very warm, staff not friendly, comes no smile or welcome, do not look fit, and the breakfast and hygiene were not optimal, we often have to wait for our cutlery and plates until it has been washed before you can start your breakfast and the cutlery and plates always get soaking wet so get your paper napkins to dry it yourself. Once I said to the waitress if she can arrange a plate for me, Mrs. Said that the woman who does the dishes is not there yet and she just stood there with another colleague and then I said would you like to wash a few plates for us so that we can go eat? She then said that she didn't come to work to do the dishes. Another guesthouse started washing its own plate, which I don't think is nice

We arrived at the hotel before check-in, they picked up our suitcases and we went sightseeing. When we returned they took us to some rooms in a basement, without windows. As you went down the elevator you got a terrible smell of humidity and pipes. One of the rooms had a half-made bed, both furniture was old and broken. Indescribable smell. We went back to the reception and showed him the reservation through trip which showed the reservation for two standard rooms with city views. The receptionist told us that our reservation was for two cheap rooms without windows (I didn't know that in a 4-star hotel they could put you in a room without a window), but he quickly offered a better room for 15 euros more per night per room (60 euros total). I called trip customer service. I was assisted by Alejandra who calmed me down and got in touch with them. (Thank you very much Alejandra). The problem apparently arose due to an intermediary that Trip works with. While I was trying to solve the problem over the phone, the rest of my companions were insisting on selling cruises, dinners, and airport transfers (we seemed like the protagonists of a bad joke). They showed us the other rooms, which were in a different hotel. Getting to the other hotel was another adventure. A bellboy (a charming young boy, the only redeeming feature of the hotel) guided us through streets full of construction. We agreed to stay in the rooms they offered us, we advanced the payment of 60 and trip promised a refund (in two days we had the refund in our account). The breakfast at the great fortune design, where we ended up sleeping, was non-existent, since the coffee machines didn't even work and the solution they gave us was some sachets of soluble coffee, when we filled the cup with hot water it also filled with particles black, there we decided that we would have breakfast outside. I'm not going to mention the rest of the breakfast. We had breakfast outside, with the expenses that entails. The hotel where we ended up staying lacked the services contracted in the first hotel (heated pool and breakfast on the terrace with views) and was in a worse location, in streets full of construction during the day and deserted at night. Think carefully if you want to book at this hotel, your stay may be in an unhealthy basement with the smell of pipes.

Great location with good restaurants within walking distance. However, the rooms are very narrow. It's a challenge for two people. You have to climb over the toilet to get to the shower. Not suitable for older people or fat people.

The rooms are small, the spa is terrible - cold, small, dirty, under renovation. There is no normal toilet compartment - a translucent glass door without a hint of sound insulation. And the most unpleasant situation is that the cleaning lady STOLEN some things, rummaged through things, the administration doesn’t care, they were just rude. I don't recommend it.

Very good, close to the center

One location of the hotel is good, the rest is disgusting, dirty hotel. The air conditioning in the room can be said not to work, all the furniture has long been in need of replacement. It’s better not to go to the restaurant, the dining room, the cooks smoke right in the kitchen, the chairs are all greasy. In a word, disgusting. If you don't want to ruin your trip, don't stay at this place.

Very good and friendly staff

Very amazing Hotel, everything you need for a trip. It’s in the best position of Istanbul, you can easily reach everything you need. It full of services and the staff is super kind (especially Onar and Kadir). They have a lot of spa option where you can fully relax at a reasonable price!

Very good hotel with good location and welcoming staff. Location was very central, rooms were okay, reception were very helpful and welcoming. Would defiantly book again and come back. If you need to book anything or need to know please speak with reception they are very helpful.

It was such a small room, you can’t even put your bags and walk inside the room, nothing happened even after requesting them to change, entrance of the hotel is pretty bad as well
