The room was clean and the bed was comfortable (although the waterproof mattress pad was not comfortable!). Great staff, very helpful. Very nice breakfast, and housekeeping was also good. I thought it would be more quiet at night but if you’re on the street side, there is noisy traffic all night so I recommend asking for a room on the side of the hotel away from the street.

Recently stayed for 4 nights with my family. Location is amazing in the heart of sultanhamet. Rooms were squeaky clean, and staff were always pleasant and courteous. A downside was I had a brick wall outside my window and the walls are not so soundproof, for me it wasnt much of an issue as we spent the whole day out and only came back to sleep and rest. The staff and their customer service really makes up for any shortfalls. A special Thank You to Burhan, amazing customer service skills I felt like I was in a 5* environment from check in to check out, he was extremely attentive and made us feel welcomed. Will definitely stay at carina gold again.

Ideally located hotel

This hotel is ideally located for exploring and the sights are in walking distance. Our room was lovely and had everything we needed. Staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. We did not have breakfast at the hotel as we tend to eat later when on holiday, so cannot comment on that. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were well maintained.
