Istanbul Golden City Hotel

Been there for 6 nights with a friend. Great location, very short walking distances to the Metro/Bus system. Room was clean and tidy, service came every day. Breakfast (we chose this as an extra) was fantastic! Amazing view in the breakfast room and great variety and taste of the food. Very helpful and nice staff (including service personal and especially the technician!!!), that helped us out multiple times. Can really recommend this hotel :)

We took the 9th floor room with panoramic windows facing two sides, and the views were absolutely exceptional. They were exactly as shown on the pictures in Booking. Golden horn was at a glance and especially in the evenings, with all the lights of the city, the panorama was simply remarcable. It was like traweling just sitting by the window. The room itself was comfortable and spaceous. Cleaning was perfect and so was all the personal, receptionists, and the meal in the restaurant for brekfast and dinner. Location of the hotel is basically by the seaside and approximately 10 minutes walking by the Galata tower.

First and foremost VERY friendly and extremely helpful front desk staff. We arrived with all the kids and tones of luggage well before the check in time. The gentleman in charge went above and beyond figuring out how we can get our room earlier; we got upgrade and our room within 15 minutes after our arrival and hours before official check-in time. The lady on the front desk helped us find the laundry service - she called several businesses close to the hotel to make sure they are open, how much they would charge and how quickly will they be able to return our clothes (we stayed only 3 days right around New Year’s Eve). The same lady helped us figure out public transport including Bosporus boat ride. Cleaning ladies were also very friendly - kids got a cookie box from one of the women. We used hotel transfer from and back to the airport - very convenient, well worth it. Breakfast was decent. Location is amazing - we were able to walk to most of the well known attractions (Galata Tower, Mosques etc - you can also use metro or trolly, stations are very close to the hotel, but we preferred walking; Bosporus public transportation boats are also 5 minutes walk from the hotel). Overall - the hotel is not new, but clean, with amazing value for money and most friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Obviously, I would cherish for the location of the hotel and the view I have got from the window. These made my journey pleasant and soothing. Moreover, the staff and officials were very cooperative and amiable. I could find shopping places, historic places and others by talking with staff.

It was our first visit to Istanbul, I loved the hotel, its facilities and its proximity to the means of transport, metro, train and port. The breakfast was very good. The super friendly staff, Mr. Ali, Mr. Onur and Mrs. Gulsana, from the reception helped us at all times. Thank you very much Gulsana because thanks to you we did not miss the flight back to our country. Very grateful to all of you, you made our stay in Istanbul excellent. If we return to Istanbul in the future, we would definitely choose this hotel again. Recommended 100%
