My stay at Grand Halic Goldenhorn in Istanbul was a mixed bag. While I loved the stunning views of the Golden Horn and found the staff to be friendly and attentive, there were a few shortcomings that can't be ignored, particularly with cleanliness and the breakfast quality. The location was fantastic, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like Taksim Square and Galata Tower, but overall, I expected a bit more from a hotel with such a promising setting.

Rooms

The room I stayed in had a lovely view but felt a bit worn down. I noticed the cleanliness was lacking, which was disappointing. The air conditioning had issues too, making the experience less comfortable than I hoped.

The location was a highlight! It was close to major attractions, public transport, and great restaurants. I could easily walk to places like Galata Tower and Istiklal Street, which was a big plus.

Dining

The breakfast served was decent but not really good. I expected more variety and higher quality for a hotel of this caliber. On some mornings, it felt more like a missed opportunity than a good meal.

Facilities

Facilities like room service were available, but I didn't have a chance to fully explore the amenities. The gym and wellness features seemed promising, although I didn't get a chance to use them.

I had a mixed experience at Grand Halic Goldenhorn. The location was fantastic, just a short walk to Taksim Square and close to public transport which made exploring Istanbul easy. However, the room felt outdated and lacking in comfort, also the service left a lot to be desired with some staff being unhelpful. The breakfast, while decent, quickly became repetitive.

Rooms

The breakfast had a range of options, but I found it to be the same every day which was a bit dull. A bit more variety would have been great.

I had a mixed experience at Grand Halic Goldenhorn. The location is excellent, with easy access to many attractions like Galata Tower and Taksim Square. However, my room faced a noisy area, and I dealt with unpleasant odors and dated decor.

Rooms

My room was quite small and old-fashioned. It unfortunately smelled strongly of smoke despite requesting a non-smoking room. The cleanliness was hit or miss, which affected my overall comfort.

Service

The hotel's location is fantastic. It's near major attractions, metro stops, and plenty of dining options. I loved being just steps away from the vibrant areas.

Dining

The breakfast offered a decent variety, but the coffee was subpar. I appreciated the Turkish scrambled eggs, yet I craved more fresh fruit and options overall.

Facilities

The hotel offers several amenities that were convenient. I didn't use the pool or wellness facilities much during my stay, but I appreciated the daily cleaning service.

I had a mixed experience at Grand Halic Goldenhorn. While the location was fantastic for exploring Istanbul and the staff were super friendly, the room I was in had its fair share of issues.
