We had a pleasant stay at the Golden Horn Hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the service throughout our stay was very good. Some of the rooms are quite small; however, when we mentioned this, the staff kindly upgraded us to a larger room at no extra cost. The bigger room was fantastic and made our 4-day stay much more comfortable and enjoyable. The hotel’s central location is a huge plus, with metro lines nearby and many major attractions within walking distance, making it very easy to get around and explore the city. We really appreciated the excellent customer service and the convenience of the location. Overall, a great experience and good value for money.

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.

The room itself was excellent. Clean and in good repair. They were polite and responsive by email. When I got to the check in, it still took reminding them multiple times of my request (to have a room facing the back rather than front street). On the plus side, the traffic and mosques were almost inaudible from here. On the downside, I still heard my neighbors- who surprisingly had guests knocking on their door consistently at 8pm, 10pm, midnight, and 2am. Pretty bad. In addition, all the staff were grim men and did not even look at me when interacting as minimally as possible.
