Deluxe Golden Horn Sultanahmet Hotel

Good Location, Friendly Staff , Best Breakfast

This was my second hotel in Istanbul.
After checking out of the first hotel, I went to leave my luggage just after 10am, but they said they had a room ready, so I was shown to it right away.
From the terrace cafe on the seventh floor, I could enjoy a luxurious breakfast while looking out over Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the sea.

Breakfast on the roof with a beautiful view
The hotel could use a little refreshment, overall everything is ok. Convenient location. Prices in Turkey in restaurants are already at the level of European ones

Rested with my son from 11/28/2024 to 12/01/2024. The hotel is very atmospheric, located in the very center, you can walk to all the attractions in the historical center. At the same time, the hotel is secluded, there is no constant flow of tourists around.. Nearby there is McDonald's, Starbucks, a tram stop. It's only a 2-3 minute walk.
The hotel offers a transfer from and to the airport. We had a room on the 5th floor. Very beautiful, comfortable bed, good pillows and bed linen, slept great. From the window you can see Hagia Sophia and part of the Bosphorus. Shower and toilet are in good condition. Water pressure is excellent.
Breakfasts are delicious. Scrambled eggs, omelette, cheeses, vegetables, apples, tangerines. Tea, instant coffee, normal. Fresh orange juice 8 euros, Turkish coffee 100 lira.
Wonderful view of the surroundings: the Bosphorus and historical mosques. We didn't take lunches, looked at the dinner menu: expensive, in my opinion, prices in euros.
The hotel has a small fitness room: you can run on the treadmill and a couple of trainers.
Very beautiful reception, it's nice to while away the time here.
I would like to separately mention the employee Cezar, who helped us with the luggage, gave all the necessary instructions, was very polite and friendly, very customer-oriented and just a nice person. Now this is one of my favorite hotels.

This hotel is at the center of sultanahmet and is a very lively area. The popular places such as Hagia Sophia and Grand bazaar is within 5 mins walk. Great restaurants are also in the same line with the hotel. The service is impeccable, the owner is very helpful and friendly. Breakfast is at the rooftop with an amazing view, the whole ambience just makes you feel at home.
Although the rooms may need minor renovations, it is clean and the AC works perfectly well. All in all this Hotel is a must visit.

● Advantages:

● Excellent location: The Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia are only a few minutes' walk away, and the T1 rail line is nearby, which is very convenient for tourists who want to explore the historical sites of the old city and go to other places.

● Beautiful scenery: Some rooms have direct views of the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. You can enjoy the sunrise and the two mosques bathed in the morning sun in the room. The view of the rooftop restaurant and terrace is even wider, overlooking Marmara, the old city, the Asian area, etc., with beautiful scenery.

● Room facilities: Although the room is not large, it is warm and comfortable, clean and tidy, and has good sound insulation. The facilities in the room are modern and can meet the basic needs of guests.

● Excellent dining: There is a rich choice of breakfast food, including authentic Turkish food and dishes suitable for the tastes of various countries. You can order according to the menu.

● Disadvantages: The room area is relatively small, which may be a bit cramped for guests with a lot of luggage or high space requirements.

The view from the restaurant is the biggest sales point for this hotel. I stayed here ten years ago and booked it again because I remembered the view. The room looks tasteful but is quite small. The noise from other rooms comes through the walls. Comfortable bed and pillows. Great location, just enough distance from the crowds. Breakfast fare is pretty average, but you hardly notice because of the view.

Good hotel with functionality at its heart. It's fantastic location is the obvious plus, 30 seconds from tram stop, 3 minutes from Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque area. The view from the terrace is a bonus and a nice breakfast served daily with selection of bread cheese meats and Turkish pastries. Room is small but has everything you need and is clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful and constantly made sure we were ok. Not every hotel is luxury 6 stars and it doesn't need to be.

Cozy rooms, excellent service, and perfect location near main attractions. Great breakfast variety. Clean and comfortable. Highly recommended for travelers!
