We really enjoyed our stay at the Istanbul Golden City Hotel. They free upgraded our room with Bosphorus sea view on a higher floor because it was my birthday! The breakfast option was marvelous at the rooftop Restaurant. Enjoyed the magnificent city view with morning coffee. Only critic would be we saw someone ordered omelet for breakfast but when we asked for it they said it would be extra charge. The hot breakfast was included in our stay so that was a tad confusing.

We had a great time. There were details that could use some improvement (the room cleaning was just good enough, the sink was slow to drain). The breakfast buffet was good. The location was perfect! The staff were helpful and nice. Overall very satisfied and would return.

Too much attitudes from morning shift front desk.
The hotel was in a noisy place. You could hear the noise from driving cars and people on the streets. It was the first hotel that asking me back for the key card. I asked for 2 card. The front desk guy was questioning me why. Same with my other groups of family. He had a lot of attitudes toward the customers. He was trying to prove him selves that he has right to argue why and reasoning. Also, when I was inside the elevator the lights turned off and I had to go one floor at the time. Freaked out. Only fits 2 person or one person with one luggage. There is parking with pay extras but very nice guy. I asked for Iron. They did not tell me for how long. They entered my room and picked it up while I was not there and I put a sign do not enter. When I came back I was looking for it. The night shift guy was extremely nice and understandable and very friendly.

We paid for a room with a view of the Mosques and the Golden Horn, however the windows providing those views had bird crap on them. The Manager said he could do nothing about it. The lifts in the hotel can only fit two people, which was an annoyance during busy periods. If you can avoid it, do not take a taxi arranged by the hotel. They will quote you one price and at the end of the journey, you will pay more. I think the hotel staff are in league with the taxi drivers and get a percentage of the taxi fare.

Good location, one block from the Bosphorus. The hotel is divided in two buildings that are not connected, the second one ‘more modern’ is in the back that you have to access via a dark dirty alley. The entrance to the second building smells like rotten fish.

Located 6 minutes or so from the T1 tram station at Karakoram and the M2 metro at Halic. Nearby there are several fish restaurants. Very few grocery stores, none that sell liquor. Hotel rooms, bathrooms are tiny. Elevator capacity is 3 people. Breakfast buffet is not abundant, just the basics. Only black, filtered coffee available, no machine that can dispense espresso or cappuccino. Boiled and scrambled eggs provided, omelette is extra.

I booked a room with panoramic view. It's the whole reason I chose the hotel. Upon arrival, only a regular view room was given. I called the reception and he argued that one of the pictures on display was not panoramic view and it's upon availability. However, the room size wasn't right, and I paid more for the room type. I was moved to the right room the next day. No price difference was given for the first day. They should be more honest with the room description by removing the wrong picture and honor the room type per booking.
