Two things really stood out for me at The Golden Horn: the room quality and the super helpful staff. The room was so spacious and comfortable, with a wonderful Bosphorus view. As for the staff, nothing was too much trouble - reservations, recommendations, advice and help. I felt extremely well looked after.

It has been amazing hotel. I have been in Istanbul 10 times and this hotel and staff, Utkan, Majd, Ali, Hayrullah and Aziz has been exemplary. They have looked after us and guided us to new places in Istanbul, despite being a veteran. Thank you so much for the experience.

We had a wonderful stay in Istanbul. The hotel’s location is excellent, but even more impressive was the hospitality of all the hotel staff. They always greeted us with a smile and were very friendly, offering us tea and giving helpful advice about our itinerary. If we have the chance to visit Istanbul again, we would definitely like to stay at the same hotel. The room with a sea view was very spacious and left us with great memories. Thank you！

Excellent room with great river view

A great hotel with some of the friendliest, most professional staff I have encountered. The room (I got an upgrade) had great views over the river and the room itself was excellent. Will definitely stay again on future visits to Istanbul.

From the moment we arrived at the Golden Horn Bosphorus Hotel, we were impressed by its immaculate upkeep and warm hospitality. The reception team greeted us with traditional tea and Turkish delight—a charming touch that set the tone for our stay. Our room was a highlight: spacious, modern, and impeccably clean, with excellent air conditioning and a modern bathroom. We had a wonderful view over looking the Bosphorus to watch the constant flow of ships and boats. While the rooftop offers stunning views, it could benefit from better furnishings or amenities to make it more inviting for guests to linger and enjoy. The location was perfect, we enjoyed walks to major attractions with many restaurants nearby. Overall, this hotel exceeded our expectations. Its combination of comfort, cleanliness, and unbeatable views makes it a place we’d happily return to. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable stay in Istanbul.

I had a wonderful experience at the Golden Horn Bosphorus Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and professional. Majed, Utkan, Khair, Aziz, and Mohammad all made my stay enjoyable and hassle-free. The room was spotless and well-appointed, featuring a comfortable bed and modern amenities. The location was perfect, just a short walk from great restaurants, shopping, and offering a stunning view of the Bosphorus. I absolutely recommend this hotel; it is ideal for solo travelers, couples, or business trips. I will definitely be back!

Great staff and central location

Great location if you want to be right in the Sultanahmet area. Super close to multiple sites to visit but also far enough off the main road to not be too crazy. The staff were amazing and make sure that you have a good time. They were always ready to answer questions, give suggestions and help you find an itinerary or new place to eat.
