the staff was very helpful with directions and luggage. the room was clean upon arrival and i found daily housekeeping to be very thorough. i appreciated the free unlimited packaged drinking water available. the tram stop was a short walk providing convenient access to major attractions.

golden horn helpful staff
the rooftop breakfast was something special, i remember it. that golden horn view added such a romantic touch to each morning. the staff was also so kind and helpful, they catered for my needs always with a smile.
the prayers from the nearby mosque could be heard each morning, this sometimes disrupted my sleep.

lovely hotel with amazing staff

early access prompt communication amazing view
i had a really great time at this hotel! the staff accommodated me with early access to my room because my flight got rescheduled. their communication was prompt and the answers were kind. also the top floor had a amazing view.
I noticed the gym equipment looked old and worn. Some of the treadmills could use an upgrade. it's a shame because everything else felt so new.

I loved the staff's attentiveness. They were helpful and friendly. The breakfast team, receptionists Yashar and Resul, and bellboys Mahmaud and Muhamed deserve special mention. The breakfast view was lovely from the fourth floor. It made each morning GREAT. I appreciated how close the hotel was to the water and the roof access for even better views!
