Glorya Penthouse Terrace Reviews
The apartment is spectacular! Never before have I just wanted to sit and enjoy a view morning, noon &
night!  Istanbul is a simply an amazing place—full of friendly people, easy to find a good bite to eat and
just walk and explore.
Peter (U.K.)

We were here for 12 days on our honeymoon and it was incredible – the apartment is a dream in itself and
we spent many happy hours lazing around on the terrace and in the living room, daydreaming and
watching the seagulls!  Our first time in Istanbul—a magical city.  We will be back to Istanbul and to this
apartment. It has given us memories to hold for a lifetime together.

A huge thank you for all of your assistance and help in booking Glorya Apt 14. I am sure it won't come as
any surprise to you to hear that we loved the apartment and the views.  We do a lot of self catering abroad
and this apartment stands out amongst the crowd.  I was really impressed that on the second day one of
your associates came in to replace all of the bulbs which had blown in the apartment without even
asking.  Needless to say we will be recommending you to friends and family. We'll certainly be back as
we want to see more of Turkey .

I can recommend Istanbul Holiday Apartments, as our family stayed in the Penthouse Terrace apartment,
and it was great. We stayed last November, so it was too cold part of the time to really enjoy the terrace as
much as we would have liked to, but the views from both the living room and the terrace were absolutely
amazing. We fell in love with the neighborhood as well. The apartment is right below the Galata tower,
and it's really impressive to see it lit up at night right above you. The neighborhood is nice and less
touristy than Sultanahmet. Everyone loved our kids and we didn't have to worry about people trying to
sell us carpets. We felt more like locals and we liked shopping at the local supermarkets.

Great location and views; we enjoyed our stay.
Kevin, Anne & Alexander (Budapest and New Zealand)

I came here not knowing what to expect. What I found was a place full of warmth and openness. The
terrace view is enough to inspire one to stay here for a much longer time than planned, or if not, to return
sooner than expected.
Ujala & Kevin (August 2010)

The sights of Istanbul are stunning.  As for the apartment: the hard work of getting up here only makes it
twice as enjoyable when you get here. Just sat outside in the fading light as the call to prayer echoed
around the city – magic!  Highly recommended.
Ray & Ann (Melbourne, Australia – Sept 2010)

Splendid location. Very friendly neighborhood. Excellent jazz across the street.
Gunduz & Lyvia (Turkey/U.K.)

The view for exceeded our expectations and we rushed home every night to listen to the call to prayer
and to enjoy the sunsets. Thank you for the excellent service. We will definitely return.
Chris, Paul & Jeremy

Fantastic! A beautiful terrace-what a city!
The Lim family- London

Wonderful view, wonderful city, wonderful people.. The food is great and eating meals at the terrace is a
total pleasure. The hustle bustle of life back home evaporates as calmness descends!
I love it here and will be back!
Andrew

This has got to be the best apartment in all Istanbul. The living room windows frame the cityscape
perfectly. Nice and spacious. I love it here.
Henry (New York)

Our stay here in the Penthouse Terrace has been fabulous. The apartment has a warm welcoming
ambiance; a great place to come home to after a day of sightseeing. The location has been superb for us
as we love to shop locally for our requirements and the access to parts of the city farther afield was very
convenient. If we return to Istanbul, we wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else!!
Craig & Penny (Australia)

A view to die for and everything you need for a relaxing holiday. Easy to get to all the interesting places.
Will recommend to anyone wanting to visit Istanbul.
Yvonne, Rosamund & John (U.K.)

The apartment is heaven! We love it!
Lisa & Erol (U.S.-Turkey)

Perfect location! Perfect views! Great set-up -- our family of eleven with three generations in multiple
apartments -- Magnificent city! And the staff was very helpful!
Peter & Sue (U.S.)

This lovely apartment met and exceeded our expectations. The stairs were an occasional challenge for
these two over age 70 after the third trip of the day but the view and the ability to feel part of the
community were certainly worth the effort. The staff was most accommodating. We could not have had
better access to all sections of the city ... we'd love to come back.
Nancy & Charles (U.S.)

A wonderful adventure in a beautiful city. So much to see, so little time. And at the end of the day, the
peace and tranquillity of this perfect haven. Five minutes on the terrace with a glass of wine will make
you forget the six flights of steps, the heat and the long walks. Many thanks to your very resourceful and
helpful staff.
The prairie companions ( Canada)

We had a great week. The apartment made the holiday. We spent several very pleasant evenings on the
terrace soaking in the view and the wine.
Richard & Fiona (U.K.)

We spent four weeks exploring Istanbul and Cappadocia. We had a spectacular time especially since we
could come back everyday and sit on top of the city. You see some of the most beautiful buildings on the
world from here. We ate everything, saw everything and grilled out on the terrace. Loved it. It has been a
truly special time. Great people, food and city ... we will return.
Robin & Michael (U.S.)

We spent a wonderful week here over the rooftops of this great city. We enjoyed the furnishings in the
apartment and the spectacular sunsets on the terrace. We would happily return.
Lewis (U.S.)

We had a great time in this truly gorgeous apartment. The terrace is simply unique -- the location pefect
-- and the sunsets... Highly recommendable!
Johanna (U.K.)

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment is truly beautiful especially the views! We'll be sure to stay
again for our next visit to Istanbul.
Jessica & Andrew (Australia)

Really enjoyed our stay here. The flat made our honeymoon!
Louise & Andrew (U.K.)

Favorite things about Istanbul: the weather, the view from our apartment, the bedsheets, the bathrobes ...
our visit to this city wouldn't have been as memorable without the terrace and space of this apartment.
We've had a lovely honeymoon.
Reena & Christopher (Canada)

The most beautiful views in the world. Impossible to describe. Everything in the apartment is just perfect.
Thank you for making my stay unforgettable.
Jordi (Spain)

The views are indescribable from the apartment. We will return and stay in the same apartment.
Tom (U.S.)

To come back to the view each evening after seeing the sights of Istanbul, to sit and eat a meal of fresh
fish and vegetables from the market beside the bridge, to lie back and look at Topkapi, Haghia Sophia
and the mosque lighted at night was the best part of an enjoyable stay here.
David & Fran (Australia)

This apartment with an amazing view only enhances the beauty of the wonderful city of Istanbul. We
found a moving, touching, beautiful place in the world to return to. Istanbul is a place with such an
amazing history behind every building, street and market that is made us want to know more about it.
Gracias por todo!
Lucia & Guido (Argentina)

Amazing view. Great flat. It’s got everything we need. Long way up but quick going down. Exciting place
to be and wonderful food. People are very friendly even though we don’t speak a word of Turkish. I love
the sense of history – no wonder everyone tried to get a hold of the place – Greeks, Romans, Huns,
Pechenegs, Hittites, Turks, Australians … we loved our stay.
Ian & Sarah (Australia)

The apartment is very well appointed and comfortable for a couple ... we did love the apartment and
would certainly considering returning. Aynur was very helpful and prompt to act the few times we had
occasion to call her.
Elena (Italy-living in U.K.)

All things considered, this place was amazing. The view was spectacular, especially because we got to
view the Red Bull Air Race for free. Not to mention hearing all the mosques go off all at once at night …
overall we very much enjoyed the apartment, our stay in Istanbul and the bazaars. All was incredible and
I hope others will enjoy it as much as my family and I did.
Mladenka family (U.S.A.)

Amazing! Thank you, especially the sunsets.
Matthew & Carol (U.S.A.)

Like all previous guests we adored Istanbul and the apartment (once we got used to all the steps!). We
were impressed by the speedy and positive way the management responded to problems…a splendid
holiday.
The Normans (U.K.)

We really enjoyed Istanbul. It is a vibrant city with stunning monuments. Glorya Penthouse Terrace is
very well furnished and comfortable...the view from the apartment is amazing and one could spend hours
just gazing outside.
Shah family (Canada)

Glorya Penthouse Terrace is very comfortable, pleasantly furnished and complete with the amenities
travelers may expect. I will resist the temptation to comment on the view. There are no adequate
adjectives in any of the languages I know anyway.  You just have to see it!  Let me say that it is worth
every step and stair ... Satellite TV was great! Location was perfect.
Luci & Dan (U.S.)

The last week of our honeymoon has been spent in this glorious Penthouse Terrace. The views are
spectacular and watching the sunset every evening from the roof terrace has been magical. Everything
was available and everything was so comfortable – a true home away from home. Fantastic.  The location
is also superb, in an old but vibrant neighborhood, in easy walking distance of  Galata Bridge.
Megan & Paul (UK)

Thanks for sharing this wonderful apartment of Glorya Penthouse Terrace..  You were eloquently precise
in describing the views as “mesmerizing” and I devoted quite a bit of time simply staring out the
windows.I will probably leave a little bit of my heart in Istanbul.  The city truly captivated me in
unexpected ways and I leave with many fond memories.
Tim (U.S.)

An apartment with a view. We spent countless hours on the terrace watching the Golden Horn... The
apartment itself is quite comfortable. We would come back anytime.
Maxime (Canada)

Everything was just as promised, including the stairs! We had a lovely time. Amazing view. Great flat. It’s
got everything we need ...Glorya Penthouse Terrace has been a wonderful apartment for our one week
stay in Istanbul with our two little boys. The views are unbeatable and the walk over the Galata Bridge to
Eminonu just 10 minutes!
Fernando (Spain) & Lauren (U.S.)

Glorya Penthouse Terrace was very pleasant, spacious, clean and has beautiful views. I can recommend
it to everyone who goes to the city for business. Rent an apartment by Ann Uysal! Istanbul Holiday
Apartments have great service. My brother and I love that -- when we return we will probably rent the
same Penthouse.
