This is a goodbudgetnproperty in an excellent location for walking to the central attractions of Isranbul. It is also close to the metro. The regular rooms are very small but manageable. The suites are very nice and closer to an American size room. The staff is kind and helpful.

Perfect location. Stayed for a few days and then travelled and property looked after excess luggage and upon return gave a room upgrade. Staff helpful. There were sewage smells in the bathroom which may just be the Istanbul system.

Great location, not very peaceful
Hotel location was great and bedrooms were good, all the basics were provided. The walls are very thin so you could hear lots of people moving around, particularly the loud cleaners who would chat away very loudly in the mornings on their phones making it impossible to lie-in.

Superb staff, location, and comfort!
The staff of the Golden Horn made me feel right at home. Breakfast is ample and traditional; Mr. Seckin takes care of everyone and is especially good with children. Try the "menemen"--a Turkish way to eat eggs. The desk manager Erdogan is also a treat--he organized my COVID test and a hamaam visit for me, and was always ready with information and a smile. The location can't be beaten--walk to Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Suleiyman mosque, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Galata Bridge, etc. It's right on the tram line too so convenient and impossible to get lost. Finally, the rooms are comfortable, with fridge and great water pressure! I found the bed very comfortable with heavy duvet covers and plenty of pillows.
