Golden Horn Hotel

Our stay at Golden Horn was pleasant and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was quite good if you go a bit early you can enjoy all items. The customer relations officer Mr. SEÇKLN and waiters were very hospitable. They made us feel special by offering warm and fresh omelette and coffee on top of breakfast buffet. The room and bathroom were clean and smell free. We got housekeeping every day during our stay. The front desk also helped us with laundry and general info. Definitely recommend!

I had a wonderful time at this hotel! From the moment I arrived, the service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, always with a smile and ready to assist. Communication was easy and pleasant, and everyone made an effort to ensure my stay was as comfortable as possible. They were always ready to help with local recommendations and any other requests. I also want to mention the great location of the hotel — everything important is nearby, and you can easily walk to most places. The metro station is also very close, which makes getting around the city even more convenient. I would gladly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort and attentive service. I’m looking forward to my next visit!

Fantastic Family Stay at Goldenhorn Hotel – Special Thanks to Mr. Seçkin Kaya! We recently stayed at the Goldenhorn Hotel in Sirkeci, Istanbul, and had a wonderful experience as a family. From the start, the staff made us feel right at home—friendly, professional, and always ready to help. A special mention goes to Mr. Seçkin Kaya from the kitchen staff, who truly made our stay even more memorable. He not only provided excellent service but also made a genuine effort to connect with our son—entertaining him with balloons and always bringing a smile to his face. It meant a lot to us as parents and showed the warm, family-friendly atmosphere of the hotel. The location is ideal for exploring the historic parts of Istanbul, and the hotel has a welcoming, authentic feel. The food was excellent, and the hospitality top-notch. The only small downside was the size of the room—it was a bit tight for a family with a child. However, the overall experience more than made up for it. We’re very grateful for the care and kindness shown to us and would happily return in the future. Thank you, Goldenhorn Hotel, and especially Mr. Seçkin Kaya, for a truly special stay!

Location of the hotel is perfect, in the centre, just a few minutes walk to the Hagia Sofia, Sultanahmet square, Topkapi Palace, Archaeological museum and the rest of the landmarks of Istanbul. Even the famous Galata bridge and tower can be reached on foot. The tram stop is just at the end of the street (I highly recommend the use of public transport in Istanbul - it is very convenient, safe, cheap, fast etc etc, as any other european city). The rooms are a bit small and outdated, but the cleaninless is on high level, so one compensates the other. The bathrooms are ok, only the sink was too small. All the members of the staff are quite polite, helpful, especially Seckin Kaya who was incharge for the breakfast. The hotel has free parking spots just in front of the main entrance which is very convenient.

Our group booked four rooms: family, triple, double, and single. Prior to our stay, I contacted the hotel to request that all rooms be located close to each other on the same floor. The hotel was very accommodating and arranged for us to stay on Level 5, which we greatly appreciated. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is incredibly central, within walking distance (max 10 minutes) to all the main attractions. Right on the doorstep, there are numerous shops, including a coffee shop, souvenir stores, convenience stores , a pharmacy, and plenty of bars and restaurants, which made everything very convenient. A special mention goes to the restaurant manager, who handled breakfast in the mornings. He was so friendly, helpful, and caring. My parents had difficulty with the stairs leading up to the restaurant, and on the days they couldn't manage, he kindly packed food so we could take their breakfast down to them. He even went above and beyond by offering to make us sandwiches for our early morning flight, which was incredibly thoughtful. The breakfast itself was impressive, but his kindness made the experience even better. The staff were helpful — the reception team was welcoming, and the concierge was fantastic at getting us taxis quickly, even in a busy area. The level of cleanliness was impressive throughout our stay. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. We would also be happy to stay here again ourselves in the future and recommend to family and friends visiting Istanbul.
