The front desk staff was extremely wonderful and helpful. The wifi worked very very well. The view of the sea and Istanbul (if you can book it) is worth it. It is within walking distance of multiple different metro and tram stations.

The hotel is walking distance from many of the main sights and attractions, but the area itself is very quiet. The area around the main sights is very crowded and loud, but it is very quiet around the hotel. You also can't really hear the mosques in the morning, so none of us experienced any problems with sleeping. The hotel itself was not loud, but I suppose that might be different in a busier season. We didn't really have any loud neighbors, even though there were families in the hotel at the same time with us. Families with kids seem to like the hotel, but it is also popular with couples of all age. The rooms were as promised and very clean. The room with the Bosphorus view indeed had a view, and it was a great view of the Galata tower and the Bosphorus itself and the boats on it. There is tea and coffee in the room that are refilled at every cleaning, as well as free water bottles. The staff is incredibly friendly. The breakfast is not the same every day, which was great for us because we stayed for 9 days. There are plenty of fruit and vegetables, so it is possible to have a healthy breakfast. My mother had her birthday during the trip, and the hotel staff got her a cake and sang happy birthday at breakfast on the day. We did not ask for it, so the staff had to plan it themselves and notice that her birthday is during the trip (she wasn't even the one to make the reservation). This was very thoughtful and sweet, and the cake was delicious. The hotel has buttons you can press to not be disturbed or to request the room to be cleaned, instead of the usual sign on the door, so that was pretty convenient. I think this hotel offers great value for money, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family if they visit Istanbul. I have definitely been in much worse, but more expensive hotels before.

I had a wonderful stay at the Golden Horn Bosphore Hotel! The location is perfect, just a stone's throw from the metro, making it easy to explore the city. The staff is truly exceptional—welcoming and always ready to assist. A big thank you to the manager, Medeni, and to Utkan and Majd for their daily support and attention to detail. The service exceeded my expectations, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!

Topkapi Palace

The home of Ottoman sultans for hundreds of years, Topkapi Palace is one of Istanbul’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Dating back to 1459, this sprawling royal residence once covered a huge stretch of the shore – and even had its own hospital, mint, and mosques within its walls! Now a museum, it displays some of the most important artifacts of the Muslim world.

Ensure that you schedule enough time to visit. The recommended time is not enough to spend time with everything. Ensure that you include Harem as part of your tour. An absolute must see to appreciate the rest of the tour

i know the country is struggling and that they also have to do what they can to reduce the hordes tramping through Topkapi, but you have to be on the level of the British Museum or the Louvre with a once-in-a-lifetime traveling exhibit to justify these kinds of prices. I'm very interested in Turkish history as well as an archaeology buff and it didn't merit the investment. i think they should cut the price in half, offer a steep discount for seniors, and cut off ticket sales at a certain volume each hour.

1,700 lira per person, payable in cash or card (debit/credit) in TL, Euros, or USD. The free audio guide requires you leave your passport as deposit (not $), so be sure to bring yours. There is only one place inside that require women to wear a shawl and they have freebies you can use at the entrance to those rooms. The harem is included in this price, NO need to pay an extra 600 TL. Budget at least a good couple hours just to tour the place.

Too expensive ticket, but if you enter, do eat before entering and grab with yourself a bigger bottled water. There is no place to get a water inside, one spot sells drinks at multiple times the normal price. The trip may last around 3 hours so eat well beforehand. Really recommend going early, as later in the day and after 2 + hours after opening, it gets too crowdy.

1500 Liras per person in June 2024. We had to pay this price for kids aged 7, 9 and 11 as well. You only get discount if you show passports. Overpriced and too many people. Museum is worth visting but not at that price.

Location was great. 5 minute walk to Sultanahmet where the main attractions of the old town are (Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace). Also the tram was right there. Plenty of restaurants near by. The best thing is the staff. Kemal and his crew were the best. Helpful, courteous and hardworking. They all went out of their way to please each guest. The breakfast was excellent.

The hotel is in a very convenient location. Close to important tram stops, Sirkeci Train Station and near to Topkapi palace and Hagia Sophia. And it is not right on the main street which is quite busy, so you don't hear the noise from it very much. The breakfast is rich and varied enough every day, and the staff is extremely kind and responsive.
