Pendik Port

This was my first time ever in Turkey and the staff at Demiray made the experience so amazing! It was raining all week when we were there but the hotel provided free umbrellas to use which was so helpful! The view from the top floor during breakfast was so beautiful, and speaking of breakfast, the food changes everyday but every single item was so delicious and worth trying, especially the soup of the day! Special thanks to the front desk staff for a smooth check in, we were able to get a room earlier than expected and when we checked out, they let us have some turkish coins as souvenirs! We had such a packed schedule that we didn't try the spa/pool but I wish we could've because it looked super nice! The location was great and in the middle of everything, the max walk to get somewhere was 15 minutes. You were also so close to the bridge that you could walk it instead of taking a ferry, which is what we did and got to see the Galata tower just by walking 25 min! I would stay here again if I come back to Istanbul!!

Booked Carina Gold Hotel for my parents, and they had a fantastic stay. The property is exceptionally well maintained and clean throughout. Its central location makes getting around effortless, yet the rooms have impressive noise isolation - they enjoyed completely quiet and restful nights despite being in the heart of the city. The staff were genuinely helpful and attentive, and the breakfast every morning was fresh and varied. Highly recommended for a comfortable, stress-free stay.
