Guest Reviews
- SomersetBoy91 (10/5): Excellent Location - Very well located hotel near all the main tourist attractions. Good breakfast and caters for most people’s tastes. Nice rooms and provide everything you could need in a city centre. Very friendly and helpful staff. Transport to the hotel from the airport takes about 1hr 30mins on public transport via the M11 and M2 underground metro then either a 1km walk or a few stops on the tram! If you’re using public transport it’s very cheap roughly a few Euros to get from the airport to the centre. You need a metro card which you then need to put money onto it’s about 35-40 Lira per ride. A ride is per line. E.g 35/40 lira for M11 then the same for M2 and then the same for the tram.
- Denisa Maria (10/5): - Breakfast menu is excellent! All fresh and high quality food!
- chiacrosa (2/5): Housekeeper non reliable at all! - We went there for few days… location perfect and pretty rooms. Good breakfast too. Unfortunately someone stole something from our room. This never happened before in all many journeys all around the world. Even if we asked to reception to investigate on this matter, they didn’t support us at all. I think this is not good at all!
- Roya (10/5): - The Internet connection was very good. Wonderful staff specially Burhan and Halil. Wifi was very good. Breakfast was normal.
- Jessica (10/5): - Room was clean. Breakfast was good. Staff were lovely and helpful. A good distance from the Bazaar. Would recommend ++++
- Maristela Grace (10/5): - Very convenient location. Room eas cleanStaff was friendly and helpful ..
- Neil (10/5): - Ideal location - staff were so helpful- could'nt have chosen a better hotel A++++
- John (10/5): - Can’t praise the hotel and staff enough.🤗
- Syed Shahid (10/5): - Breakfast needs to improve in presentation and fine touches Staff is excellent Room cleaning service is good
- AIVY LOU (10/5): Walking distance to tourist spots - Good amenities. Good location close to the tourist spots. Arranged taxi for us. Great experience overall
- Anika (10/5): - Staff were lovely and the hotel was in a convenient location. Our room was upgraded and the beds were very comfortable. If I travelled to Istanbul again I'd stay here.
- Hanzalah (10/5): - The service was amazing and the distance to all the sites is perfect!
- Scott (10/5): - Great lication for walking to old town attractions. Also close to the Tram for trips to new or Asia sections. Friendly staff. Good breakfast included. No gym avaliable.
- Brendra (10/5): Great stay at Carina Gold Hotel - Great service and staff. Great location as well.
- Renee (10/5): - Very clean and modern hotel. Rooms are spacious, nice shower, comfy beds. Safe and fridge with complimentary water bottles each day. Breakfast has good variety. Staff very helpful.
- Maile (10/5): Fabulous location - Excellent service. Reception staff were incredible in accommodating our early arrival. We had just come in from an 11hour flight, so an early check in meant we were able to freshen up and rest before we explored the city. Reception also recommended a private guide to show us around. That was invaluable in making the most of your limited time. Our guide Aidyn was simply the best host, and enabled us to see everything we wanted and imparted his wealth of local knowledge that made the city come alive for us. Arranging our transportation through reception was super easy. Tip - they prefer to work via cash rather than credit cards
- Biju (10/5): - Superb stay here on our trip to Istanbul.Clean quiet hotel right in the centre of Istanbul Sultanahmet area,lots of good eateries nearby and all the major tourist attractions 5-10minute walking distance.Step out of the hotel you are straight into the city vibe!Breakfast buffet was great and the Bosphorus cruise the hotel advised with a fish dinner and 14 traditional dances on board was a highlight with the Sufi Dervish dance especially hypnotic!
- Ahmad (10/5): - This hotel is very hospitable and clean. They arranged our transportation to and from the airport, provided laundry service, helpful instructions to get to certain places and overall our experience was a 10/10.
- Imad-ul (10/5): - Excellent hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Very close to some of the main attractions
- Toqeer (10/5): - Everything thing was great there, very helpful and very sportive staff very good breakfast,
- Esteban J (8/5): Good value/great location - Location is great! The rooms were a good value. A/C, plenty of hot water and good pressure. Our mattress was on the firm side, pillows could be better. The hotel caters mostly to a national clientele and other than at the front desk, communication with the staff can be interesting. They are very nice though. The breakfast was excellent. I would recommend it as a good value hotel.
- Sateesh (10/5): - We recently stayed at Carina Gold Hotel for 5 nights and had a wonderful experience. The accommodation was excellent, with rooms that were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and pleasant to stay in. The reception staff truly stood out for their friendliness and professionalism. They were always ready to assist and guided us in the right way without ever pressuring us into hotel-related packages. Instead, they genuinely helped with arranging shopping trips, recommending quality restaurants, suggesting popular tourist attractions, and even organizing taxis for local travel and airport transfers. The complimentary breakfast was another highlight—fresh, tasty, and well-prepared, giving us the perfect start to our mornings. Overall, we highly recommend Carina Gold Hotel & Restaurant for anyone looking for clean and well-maintained rooms, courteous staff who go above and beyond in helping tourists, and delicious food. It’s an excellent choice for both comfort and hospitality.
- Michael (10/5): - The location is fabulous.
- Kim (10/5): Wonderful Hotel - The hotel is near the main attractions and in a good location, but still quiet. The employees were very friendly, helpful, and attentive, especially Burhan who looks like Colin Farrell (some guests said Volodymyr Zelensky, lol). The breakfast was decent but didn’t have many hot options. The hotel is extremely clean and the shower has good water pressure. Overall a great stay.
- Marelle (10/5): - Lovely hotel - very clean and great location within walking distance to major attractions Staff are extremely helpful
- 198jayb (10/5): Highly Recommend! - We loved the location, the rooms, and friendly staff. The guest relation manager, Burhan went beyond expectation to make sure our stay with the hotel be a very unforgettable experience. The front desk staff; Halil, Ennis, Mohamed, Sems made our stay so pleasant. The restaurant staff; Ali, Resul, Cihon, Yagiz were so courteous and helpful. The cleaning lady, Cigdem was so friendly and made our rooms so comfortable and clean. This hotel is located in a perfect area very close to mosques, the grand Bazzar and museums .
- Aamna (10/5): - We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The staff were all so helpful, especially Burhan. Will definitely be back here!

- senur (10/5): - They attention you get for every little thing you need they attended no matter what
- Dematros (10/5): - Everything
- Riyaaz Ahmed (10/5): - Absolutely spot on in every way. Exceeded our expectations, the hotel is very central to not only the Sultanahmet area but also for wider connection to Taksim and Asia side. Staff were fantastic especially Burhan, he has you covered. The hotel is immaculately clean, the rooms are extremely quiet at night and very comfortable. Transport access for both walking to key spots and for tram/ferry access is within reach. Would definitely recommend anyone (couples or families) to stay here. We will be coming back to this hotel for sure!
- Mrs Joanne McLaughlin (8/5): Ideally located hotel - This hotel is ideally located for exploring and the sights are in walking distance. Our room was lovely and had everything we needed. Staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. We did not have breakfast at the hotel as we tend to eat later when on holiday, so cannot comment on that. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were well maintained.
- Hafizur (10/5): - Very convenient location and everything is at walkable distance. Even though in breakfast not much option but hotel staff is very friendly and We will stay in this hotel agin in our next visit to Istanbul.
- Abdullah (8/5): - Wish they had more breakfast options..like lentil soup. Coffee was really bad, they can improve on getting good coffee and or machine. Should have option like Turkish coffee ottoman coffee or normal coffee Keep the fresh milk near the tea dispenser
- shabbir (10/5): - Very nice and curtious front desk personnel. Always ready to help location is good walking distance to places of interest and shopping

- Shazad (10/5): - 2nd time staying here, staff very friendly, place very clean and tidy, fantastic transport links will definitely stay here again
- Najam (10/5): Best Customer Service - We are a family of 2 adults and two teenage kids. The hotel was in the old city, very near hardly few minutes from grand bazar and around 5-7minutes from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and the Cistern. The rooms are clean and the staff is very friendly and hlepful. Both Shahnawaz and Burhan went over and above to support our trip. They accomodated last minute changes and helped us in making a plan to see various sites in Istanbul and around. I highly recommend the hotel specially due to the extraordinary service of Shahnawaz and Burhan.
- Shaiah Munir (10/5): - Everything about Carina Gold Hotel was amazing. The staff were lovely and attentive, the rooms were clean, the location was perfect and the food within the hotel restaurant was delicious. An easy 10/10 experience.
- David (10/5): First Visit - Fantastic location in the thick of the historic centre. Helpful and friendly staff, quick to recommend attractions and the best way to go about things. Also got tips on what to avoid and what to watch out for.
- Derrick (10/5): Ideal location in Sultanahmet - This was the perfect spot to stay in Sultanahmet. A short walk to both the blue mosque or the grand bazaar and only 1 min walk to a tram stop it gives you already access to all the main tourist spots in Sultanahmet. The staff at the hotel were super friendly and helpful and upgraded us to joining rooms which was much appreciated. The best thing about the hotel was the room sizes which were huge by Istanbul standards. I’ve been to Istanbul many times and this was the best hotel I’ve stayed in!
- Samer (10/5): Great stay - Great location, great staff, great comfort
- Rima (10/5): - Amazing staff and very clean
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent service - Perfect location to visit main attraction in Istanbul.The service was excellent, staff were amazing and very helpfull.
- Katalin (8/5): - clean, updated hard wood floors. easy access to transportation and sites
- Murad (8/5): Amazing meal experience - The best breakfast buffet I have ever had. The restaurant is very affordable and offers delicious food. The downside is the poor soundproofing in the rooms, which is typical of all the hotels I have stayed in Istanbul before. I did not sleep for two nights because of the very active neighbors next door. The staff is very helpful. Location is perfect and within 5-7 min walk to all keypoints
- Kristopher (10/5): - Fantastic property, within walking distance to everthing that a first time visitor to Istanbul would want to see and experience. The staff a super friendly and helpful.
- Neville (10/5): - Great hotel so handy to attractions close to trams staff so helpful organized pick up from airport and organized to cruise terminal Best of all top breakfast so great a selection would stay here again
- Amad (10/5): - The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The breakfast was also good with decent options. Conveniently located to many attractions.
- 426omark (10/5): Lovely Stay at Carina Gold! - Had a wonderful stay at Carina Gold Hotel in Istanbul. The location is perfect—close to everything we needed. The hotel itself is modern and clean, only about two years old. A special thanks to Halil who helped us with check-in and was super helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely come back!
- Adetoyin (10/5): - Staff are amazing my only complaint is there is no gym
- InnessaAS (10/5): A gem among hotels - The best experience! Stayed 4 days during our Istanbul trip. Cannot say enough great things about our experience. The reception staff (day and evening) are absolute superstars, they are personable, friendly, have the best customer service skills. They are accommodating and give recommendations to activities around town and things to see. They will arrange it for you and book transportation. Rooms were clean and comfortable, cleaning done daily. The hotel is located within walking distance to everything. Breakfast had such a variety of options and always fresh. I can go on, but with my frequent travels, this was a gem, and the staff make this a great experience.

- David (10/5): - Great location, brilliant staff, excellent room, great breakfast. I would certainly stay again
- Ozkan (10/5): - The receptionist, Burhan, did an excellent job helping us decide where to go and how to get to various places during our stay at Carina Hold Hotel. The rest of the staff was also very friendly and helpful. We loved having breakfast at the hotel, as the variety on the menu exceeded our expectations. I will definitely choose Carina Hold Hotel again for future stays.
- Tawfiq (10/5): - Staff helpful
- RYAN (10/5): - The Carina Gold Hotel is FABULOUS!!! First, the staff is warm, friendly and incredibly helpful. Second, the hotel is clean and comfortable. The air conditioning works well and the breakfast is worth the earlier wake up. Finally, the location can’t be beat. There hotel us between two tram stops, one right around the corner. A short walk to Aya Sophia and a convenient walk to the Grand Bazaar (the tram stops will lead you to the Spice Market, Karakoy, or the docks to Asia in less than 15 minutes). I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to enjoy their trip to Istanbul.
- Ahsan (10/5): - Amazing! The hotel is centrally located, easy access to many areas. Tram station right outside. I had a member in my family who was on a wheelchair. As Istanbul is very hilly, this hotel was so well located, that we did not have any issue. I do recommend people who have accessibility needs to stay here. The rooms were amazing, the breakfast buffet was next to none, great quality food. The staff were so helpful and friendly. The room quality was 10/10, and its perfect for families.
- Ashwin (8/5): - Well organised pick up from Airport with photos and WhatsApp contact. The walking tour they recommended had an excellent guide but we had to spend a boring hour in a leather showroom which was a waste of time. Shams was helpful with organisation. Central location meant visiting sites such as suleyman’s mosque was easy. Don’t forget to do the 500 year old Hammam!!
- Andrew (10/5): - Great location and friendly, helpful staff
- Issam (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff,the breakfast is fantastic.rooms are very clean and modern.and best of all is the location that is a walking distance to all tourist attractions.
- Anya A (8/5): - Staff helpful with luggage. Great room size. Walkable to historic places.
- Humma (10/5): Do not stay at any other hotel! - We went to Istanbul for a family holiday with our 2 not-so young sons. We booked a superior family room - essentially 2 separate bedrroms (each with bathroom) but commected within a unit. Ideal! The rooms were super clean and the bathrooms were even cleaner, with top notch fittings. We loved the hotel, both for its location (walked everywhere!), near all the historic sights and next to a tram stop too; and the amazing staff. They reached out immediately after we booked to offer help. We cannot praise Burhan, Halil, Shams and Mohamed enough - they were so friendly and helped us arrange a tour of Istanbul - we really appreciated their honest advice. They even gave us their Istanbul travel cards we could top up and use during our stay. Definitely recommend that the hotel organise the airport pickup and drop off - we had a top notch luxury limovan pick us up - ideal when you read about the crazy taxi problems there can be in Istanbul. Little else to add except that we will definitely be back at the Carina Gold!!
- 595usmank (10/5): Great hotel with brilliant staff - Currently staying here. I would wholeheartedly echo the details from recent positive reviews. Staff great. Room clean. Location great. Breakfast good. Road noise is not ideal for sleep but my room is on the first floor facing the road…. So I’ve kept window closed when sleeping and that has resolved my issue
- Mariam (8/5): - Good
- Rolendys (10/5): - The staff was friendly and helpful. We met the owners even went out of their way to order my husband a treat he really liked.
- Maryam (10/5): - We had a wonderful experience at Carina Hotel. The service was very good, and the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the bell door team. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was quite good with a nice variety. The location is also excellent, close to key attractions and easy to get around. Would definitely recommend!
- Aaliyah (10/5): - The property was very clean, room size was great, bed was comfortable etc. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and very friendly - they helped us get around and gave great suggestions. The hotel is also in a great location in walking distance of the main attractions and the tram stop is also close by.
- Moayyed (8/5): - Clean and friendly
- Gayle (10/5): - We enjoyed this hotel very much.
- Zahide (10/5): - Very quiet very clean good breakfast

You will not regret!

- Ana Maria (10/5): - Amazing! The facilities are very clean. The staff is amazing and helpful. We had a great experience. The breakfast was delicious too. We are very happy
- Saara (8/5): - We booked the 2 family rooms connecting, the space was big and rooms were clean. The bathroom was clean and the hotel staff are very accommodating. We used the airport transfer option, which worked out well (the a/c in car wasn't great but sufficient). Breakfast included a lot of nice options including coffee, lots fresh fruit and some hot tiems like scrambled eggs.
- Adriana (10/5): - Nice hotel near to many attractions. Staff was very helpful.
- joseph (8/5): - All was fine
- Masooda (10/5): - Very nice hotel, clean, convenient, good quality breakfast and close to everything. I would come back here!
- Carole (8/5): Ideal location to explore the city - Ideal location to explore the city. Friendly, efficient service from booking to check out. Hotel contacted us immediately after booking to offer airport transfer and booking of tours etc. Room was clean and spacious, view of a wall so kept the light curtain drawn. Very firm mattress which might not suit all. Shower was efficient, sadly towels were changed every day so not very eco friendly. A reasonable choice for breakfast, not necessarily to out taste but good selection and presented nicely. Return airport transfer was 110 euros
- Susan (10/5): - Fantastic find in a prime location between Sultanahmet Square and the Grand Bazaar! Easy walking distance to major tourist attractions on the historic peninsula. Staff were very friendly and helpful … special thanks to Halil and Burak in particular. Great dining options close by. The bed was very comfortable and despite the mosques and traffic in the area, our room was very soundproof!
- Sandeep (10/5): Good Hotel in good location - Nice, clean hotel with friendly staff. Good buffet breakfast. Hotel is located just off one of the main streets but walking distance to landmarks like Blue Mosque, Grand Bazar etc
- Joe (10/5): - Very nice very clingy excellent location service was amazing the food and breakfast
- O2620ENvlads (10/5): Thank you so much - This is my second time staying at this hotel. I was greeted like a best friend. And next time I will only stay at this hotel. Great location. Perfect cleanliness. There is a wide choice of dishes for breakfast. The restaurant has excellent chefs and service. I would like to express special gratitude to the service staff: Halil, Burhan, Mohamed, Sems, Enes and others. Very polite, competent and ready to help at any time of the day. I recommend "Carina Gold Hotel" to everyone who is going to Turkey.
- Thayer (10/5): - Friendly and helpful staff
- Ryan (8/5): - Very close to main attractions Close to public transport Excellant staff
- Verified traveler (10/5): Exceptional service! - I was treated so well at this hotel! The concierge staff was super helpful -- they accommodated all of my requests and gave me a great overview of what to do in Istanbul. Truly exceptional service. The location is unbeatable! You can't get better if you looking to book in Sultanahmet. The hotel is close to all of the key touristy sites, but it's on its own, quiet side street, so it is not loud at all. It's also just around the corner from the T1 metro stop and a short walk to many different restaurants (touristy and non-touristy), as well as the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market. I suggest booking one of the bigger rooms, because the smaller rooms can run small. The breakfast was good -- nice variety, something for everyone.
- Paul (10/5): - Great location for visiting historic sights, metro. Very helpful staff.
- SueO891 (10/5): A Hidden Gem close to all major attractions. - We were thrilled with this hidden gem in the heart of Istanbul’s historic peninsula! This upscale boutique hotel is in between Sultanahmet Square and the Grand Bazaar, so it is within easy walking distance of all the major attractions. Despite being surrounded by mosques, the room was so soundproof we barely noticed them. The hotel lived up to Türkiye’s reputation for amazing breakfasts with a wide array of tempting choices every day. The room was clean and very comfortable; the staff were very friendly and so helpful. If we go back to Istanbul, we wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else.

- Aboo (10/5): - Hotel was clean and the staff are very helpful
- Emanuel (10/5): - The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Hotel is beautiful and in an excellent area for visiting major attractions. Wi-fi could be better but that’s a minor complaint as we really didn’t spend much time needing it. The breakfast is exceptional. We would definitely stay again!!

- Shehbaz (10/5): - The location of the hotel is simply perfect, conveniently situated near a tram station. Iconic landmarks such as Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar are all just a 10-minute walk away. The staff is exceptionally friendly and always willing to assist, making my stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area!
- Frank (10/5): - The hotel room window had a full view of the Blue Mosque and was quite beautiful at night. The staff were excellent. Extremely quick and thorough. Breakfast buffet was delicious and had a more than adequate array of food. It’s close to the Metro which we used extensively. Very clean. Room service inexpensive and amazingly quick. We rate this a 5 star experience. We travel extensively and Carina Gold did not fail
