Mövenpick Istanbul Hotel Golden Horn

Everything was great from the beginning. Mr. Yusuf at the reception was amazing. I'm sure all the staff are great too but he was the one handling my check in. We arrived at 9am and he arranged an early check in for us which was perfect because we had a long night of traveling. He was very professional and explained that early check in is not guaranteed but he will arrange it if the room is available and thankfully it was! We took a room with sea view and the view was amazing! I used to live in Istanbul a few years back and my place was next to the hotel so I know the area very well and it was very emotional to be back there! A lot of green spaces around the hotel and it's very calming and relaxing. There's also a tram station nearby and a bus station which connects you to the rest of Istanbul but public transportation can get very crowded so the hotel has free shuttles to Taksim and Eminonu and they can order a taxi for you if needed. The food and breakfast was great. The room was spacious and very quite. The bathroom had all amenities for sure, but really the best part is the staff, they're always available with a big smile on their faces, for me this is very important and they were all excellent in that regard. Ms. Zeynep, the guests manager, is always in close reach and she welcomes you with a message and asks to meet you in person if you have time. Really a great staff and hopefully they always keep up the good service. Overall, a great stay and would totally recommend the hotel. Just be careful with location if it's your first time in Istanbul, you're not going to be in walking distance to the major attractions, but in my opinion, the golden horn has so many beautiful attractions and history that isn't as famous as Hagia Sophia for example, but it's just as impressive. Do a little bit of research before you come and I assure you, you will love the area!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Mövenpick Golden Horn, and it exceeded all our expectations. We were already excited for our stay due to the photos shared when booking, however was blown away by the reality of the hotel. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and friendly service. The staff truly went above and beyond in making us feel welcome and taken care of. The room was spacious, modern, immaculately clean and equipped with all the modern amenities we could need. The bed was large and incredibly comfortable. The on-site restaurant served delicious food, with a wide variety of options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast buffet was superb with wonderful service and multiple options on what to eat. The restaurant on the 10th floor served authentic Turkish cuisine with a stunning panoramic view of the Golden horn in Eyüp. Location-wise, Mövenpick is perfect - central enough to easily explore the main attractions, yet tucked away enough to enjoy peace and tranquillity. Roughly around a 15 minute walk to Pierre Loti cable cars, small square with various restaurants, a tram on the opposite side of the road (with links into Eminönü where you can visit landmarks like Hagia Sofia, The Blue Mosque and Grand Bazaar) Whether you’re in town for business or leisure, this hotel offers the ideal balance of comfort, luxury, and convenience. Overall our stay was nothing short of perfect and we were genuinely devastated when having to leave the hotel and its staff who genuinely went above in beyond in making our stay unforgettable. We can't wait to return to the hotel again soon and would HIGHLY recommend this hotel for anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable experience! Thank you to everyone at the hotel who made it perfect.

The staff were exceptionally cooperative and welcoming, making the stay pleasant. The visit was in conjunction with our anniversary, and the hotel team was very attentive to the requested preparations. Special thanks to Ece Demirel for helping with this matter.
