What guests think

Across the reviews, travelers say Deluxe Golden Horn Sultanahmet Hotel offers a very central base near the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, with generally friendly, helpful staff who assist with airport transfers, taxis, and practical sightseeing arrangements.

Rooms are mixed: some feel small or dated, and guests report thin walls, weak or noisy air conditioning, and occasional maintenance issues. Breakfast is often enjoyed on the rooftop, though several reviews note limited variety or repetitive options. Cleanliness feedback ranges from very clean rooms and tidy housekeeping to complaints about dirty carpets, bedding, or bathrooms. A practical choice for sightseeing, with trade-offs in room modernity and noise control.

Perfect stay! However, we had one suggestion. The hotel has a beautiful rooftop restaurant which does not sell alcohol. It would be so nice to enjoy beautiful view on the patio having nice bottle of wine. We had to go somewhere else to enjoy the evening.

Super Zentrale Lage zu den meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten. Ca.300m zur Hagia Sophia und Sultan Ahmet Moschee und etwa 500m zum Topkapi Palast. Wir haben unseren Mietwagen vor dem Hotel geparkt und bis zur Abreise nie bewegt weil alles Fußläufig zu erreichen war. Absolut Empfehlenswert für Istanbul !!!

Personel güleryüzlü, otel konforluydu Otoparka para ödemek değil haraç vermek can sıkıcıydı. Boş ayakkabı kutumuzu personel sormadan atmış, oysa ki gerekliydi. Manzara zaten müthiş Art niyetli bir tavır yoktu, herkes işinin başındaydı Yine olsa yine kalırım 👍

I am not sure if it's just how it is in Istanbul, as most things here were very expensive despite being low quality, but given how expensive this hotel is, it was underwhelming. The breakfast buffet was very mediocre (for example, no toaster for all the untoasted bread), the rooms were ok but had an old dirty carpet, and the toilet had a very noisy fan. Can't compare to other hotels in the city, but compared to the standard you get for example in Asia, this wasn't worth what you paid.

A good place to stay while exploring Istanbul, close to all the historical places , also staff is very helpful and good mannered, the cleaning lady was keeping our room tidy and clean . If you want to book any tours you can just go to the reception staff and they will sort you out . Worth staying.👍

The location is first rate. There are plenty of restaurants close by as well as public transportation to the bazaars and waterways. Lots of sites within walking distance - it couldn't have been better. The hotel is dated and worn. It is clean without question but I would say it is a travelers hotel. There is a nice selection of breakfast items and juices in a large dining room which was a plus. Staff was always helpful and an extra bonus is the luggage scale - great for the souviners we added to our baggage! I wouldn't say the AC was broken but felt more like a swap cooler in the rooms that a traditional AC. The weather was gorgeous and the windows open easily which turned out to be perfect for us!

Overall it was an ok stay (we stayed for 6 nights, first time in Istanbul). Staff was friendly and helpful, location is good and close to historic sites. That's where it fall short of my expectations: - rooms look much nicer on the photos, not as impressive in person - breakfast lacks variety - salad/cheese/tea/coffee were ok, hot dishes were very limited (not much to choose from so most of us were skipping them most of the times)

Rooms may be a bit small but with comfortable beds and pillows. Breakfast at the terrace was excellent with magnificent views of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia and the old town. The waiters there are very helpful and they took me many photos with the views. The area is safe, you can easily walk to the main attractions.

The corner room was spectacular with the Blue Mosque right outside our window. We loved the total experience. The hotel decor made us feel like we were staying in the Ottoman dynasty. The staff was fantastic, and we will stay there again in our next visit to Istanbul. Sarya and Adnan, two of the many hotel associates were great.

The hotel has some advantages; close to the main tourists sights, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern etc, it is also near to the Tram Lime 1 stop. The breakfast area does provide great views and is perfect for photos. The down side for me is the noise for rooms above and to the side; very thin walls, you hear everything when people come in late, open and close door, every conversation, for that reason alone I won;t stay there again..

The staff at the hotel was so kind and hospitable. When it was time to leave they made sure to arrange our taxi ride to the airport And made sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was very good and sitting on the terrace with the view of Hagia Sophia and the blue mosquewas priceless!

Have stayed many times usually 2/3 times a year as location is great and always been reasonably happy this time I asked for a birthday cake for my husband it didn’t appear the woman said by email discuss with the front desk they knew nothing about it?? We asked them to get us a taxi to airport after having an experience with a taxi wanting to rip us off and the guy arranged his friend and agreed 250tl we had paid 180tl for airport direct to hotel on the meter, taxi fares went up in 1 Jan. The driver didn’t use the meter and was absolutely crazy amazed we landed at airport in one piece! Then he wanted 300tl after agreeing the price and refusing to use the meter . I know this goes on and no meter no argument which is what I said to the driver and gave him the agreed amount! Service was distinctly lacking this time maybe we have stayed too many times so will have a change next time.

Central location, but walking up and down hills on uneven surface. Taxi didn't want to drive by waivy, narrow, crowded old streets, or wanted twice or triple metter prices.Buildings renovations nearby. Knowing that we stay only for 2 nights and get to hotel in around 10pm- we were assigned to cheaper and smaller room, then we booked via Expedia web. Front desk older guy talked to us with frustration. Lobby and Room decor is nice, but shows wear and tear signs.Breakfast is good. Feel like overpaid for stay and entitled for a refund in price between booked deluxe room and staying in standart room fees.

As a solo traveler I loved this property. It was convenient to all of the major sites and public transportation. Musa at the front desk made sure I had his contact number in case I need assistance while touring the city. The hotel was lovely and an amazing view from the rooftop. They did recommend the evening river boat cruise, which was more like a nightclub on the water, which I did not enjoy. But everything else about my stay and their hospitality was excellent!!!

Metro station is not more than 2 mins walk which is a plus if youre looking to travel to places such as grand bazar dilmabache palace etc. you can get a istanbul pass from kiosks (150 lira) and charge it to be able to use it on the metro
