If you want to have a room view river view, doesn't worth to pay extra for the room with panorama view. Rooms are very small. Part of the staff responsible for breakfast is not very attentive with cleaning the tables or filing up with fresh water. In fact, at every breakfast we had to ask for water. The hotel is charging 20 EUR more for airport shuttle, than you can find on booking.com

Although the street itself isn't nice at all, the location is well connected to many forms of public transport, including the famous funicular, which brings you up, near Galata tower. The view from roof terace is very nice.

Poor breakfast, though the view from the rooftop is gorgeous

The view on the Bosporous and the proximity to all sight seeings was amazing

The area is a bit shaby

The view! We had the panoramic view room and it was top! Proximity to public transportation is a big plus.

Great views across the city from room as well as from the rooftop bar where we had breakfast. Rooms were kept clean with plenty of towels and toiletries free to use

The elevator is extremely tiny

The view from the terrace where they serve breakfast was absolutely amazing! Very good location and there is also a very nice and cozy restaurant in the back of the hotel with a beautiful view and fantastic stuff!

Would have liked cleaner air conditioning filters.

I booked a room with seaview. The view of the golden horn, the boats coming in and out 24/7 , the people in the parks and Constantinople on the other side of the water was amazing 😍 The hotel staff are very helpful especially the lady and Ilker from the reception. Breakfast was super.. Will book this hotel again.

Staff members were not cooperative, you would find them sleep on the lobby couch every night. Don’t expect too much, so you could have easier time there.

Good view

Rooms too small, wardrobe very limited, air-conditioning should be renewed

Location, staff, cleanliness, value for money

The elevator was too small and our rooms were too smaller than the size was said on the booking (we couldnt open two mid size luggage on the same time in the room!)

The Golden City Hotel is a solid 3-4 star hotel. Everything worked perfectly. Room service came every day and always did an impeccable job. The reception was very professional and friendly. I was particularly impressed by the breakfast and its staff. With a wonderful view over the Bosphorus. Even a large wedding with loud music and celebrations ended shortly after midnight, so we could sleep well. I will gladly come again! Thank you, Golden City!

room hygiene is very good, everything is really cleaned regularly with no dirt when you look a bit better. location is very good as expected. view is amazing if you are lucky (as we were) to have a nice room and floor. wi-fi excellent. this rarely happens in hotels, usually you can connect and not do much with it. here the wi-fi has a strong signal and works well. restaurant on top floor has an amazing view and very good breakfast. all staff professional and helpful.

Small elevators, small rooms and the A/C was not working properly, and at the 9th floor, you will here too much noise once they will open the breakfast time because they are above you.

Staff was helpful and friendly.

Could't find king bed, but have been offered standard room with two comfortable beds

The hotel location is really good, it's got a nice view to the Bosphorus where you can see both Sultan Ahmet and Taksim side of Istanbul. In addition to that, it's just 100 meters from Halig metro station in M1 line where it's just one stop to Taksim metro station where the Taksim square and Istikhlal road are and it's just 4 stop to Aksaray metro station that take you to Sultan Ahmet side to see Hagia Sophia and the Blue mosque.

Small rooms. Air conditioning did not work all the time.

Central location

The lighting in the room was not optimum. The mirror and entrance lights were out of order.

The room with the bosphoras view was great. However, you may hear the music from the passing by party boats and cruises on the bosphoras until midnight or 1 am. For light sleepers, this could be a challenge. The views are amazing if some noise doesn't bother you.

1- i think the property need renovation. 2- it will be nice if the breakfast last for 12:00 pm. 3- it will be nice if they leave the roof top open at night for the hotel guests l, even without service just to sit there

Centralized, clean and staff are nice and view from the roof top is perfect
