Bird Watching Tower

Carina Gold was a pleasure to stay in. Excellent location short walk to Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern Museum. Hotel staff friendly and very helpful giving informative information about areas and providing activities if required. Room clean and spacious would highly recommend the hotel and staff for anyone wishing to visit Istanbul.

Beautiful hotel, all staff were great. Only thing

It’s a very nice “boutique hotel”! Depending on what one wants or expects, it might not be exactly that. If one wants a larger hotel with fancy lobby and big rooms, this is not it. However, the staff are super friendly, overall very clean and comfortable hotel. It’s within walking distance of some of the best tourist attractions including the Bazaar and famous mosques. Great restaurants and coffee shops. Be aware that this hotel is in an old neighborhood with small roads that might or might not be open to car traffic all the time. Rooftop restaurant and the food was great. Overall, it is a nice hotel if you are not with a family. Rooms are small and some have no windows!
