Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.

I liked the location of the place and breakfast was reasonably good. The room photos on the website are deceiving giving a perspective that these are big rooms. The rooms are extremely small, and the bathroom is tiny, you can barely move around.

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.
