The hotel is located in the hardware section of Istanbul with very little around it. It is not far from Galata Bridge but beyond that, it has nothing to offer. I did like the view from the restaurant and the breakfast food was decent, however the rooms were small and you were literally at the bottom of a huge hill. It is better to stay at the Taksim area hotels where the people are. Also, if you room is facing the street, be prepared for LOTS OF NOISE. The staff was great and very nice. This is an average Super 8 type of motel in the United States.
The location of this hotel is in the heart of the industrial market of Istanbul, but that should not deter you from staying here for business or leisure. The location is ideal for tourists too because of its proximity to the peninsua, golden horn and beyoglu. Everything is within walking distance. Excellent connectivity by bus or the tram. The metro is not far off either. I would recommend that one takes rooms ont he higher levels because they then offer excellent views of the golden horn. Breakfast is not that great but their roof top restaurant serves excellent seafood. Service is prompt and the staff is very courteous. Other than the people int he reception, nobody knows English. I'll definitely be staying here the next time too.

My friends and I arrived to Golden City Hotel only to realize we had incorrectly made our reservation for one week later. They were nearly full but Ali and the reservation manager Nergiz were very helpful and able to find us a room and shift our reservation. The rooms were very quiet at night, and the view of sunrise from the roof deck at breakfast was amazing. There's not much around the hotel, but it's only about 10 mins walk to the bridge over to the old city, and about the same up to Galata tower, and the beginning of lively Istikal street. The streets and alleys coming down from Galata are a little dark at night but we never felt unsafe walking home. Would stay again.

This hotel is located on a perfect location: in between the old city and the modern part of the city with a great view on the river and the mosques. Rooms are not big but big enough with everything you need. Especially a very nice shower. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Breakfast is very good. There is a lot of choice and the food is tastful. The staf is very friendly and helpful. You can ask them everything and they take care of it immediately. They all speak Enlish very well. The rooms are averagely priced: 70 euro per night ( incl. Breakfast)

The location of the hotel is quite convenient. For all the major sights of the city although the surroundings were far from attractive (a neglected side yard, plenty of hardware shops and a very busy street in front of the hotel). The rooms were comfortable and spacious and our breakfast rich and tasty. The hotel employees were forthcoming and friendly. Special thanks to Ali in the reception for being so helpful and pleasant. What we enjoyed the most was the fantastic view of the city from the restaurant on the roof terrace.

I like the hotel very much, its simple but in the same time its comfortable; the deluxe room have a very nice sea view; when the breakfast be on the roof you will enjoy a very nice view for the amazing Istanbul mosques; what i didn't like that the hotel is a way from the metro station, but you can easily take a taxi to Taksim square with 6 TL.

The hotel was very nice and the staff was also good. The location is a negative as it is in a more industrial area so at night the choices for food, and people on the street is zero. In the day it was fine a short scenic wal accross the Gallata Bridge to Emenou and Sultanhamet.
