Pros: Hotel Sapphire was nicely situated in the sightseeing area of Istanbul. The hotel was lovely, the staff were extremely courteous and helpful, the breakfast buffet was a great start to the day. The tram is very near by, so it's easy to get around the city. The only downside is some of the nightlife spots are best served with a tram ride, and the tram stops running at midnight.

Pros: Everything......particularly wonderful staff who went out of their way to help in everything- they stayed up waiting for us when we arrived at 3am, then they went to enormous lengths to get the hire car we wanted and had the car delivered to the hotel. Not only the service but they spoke impeccable English and very courteous in every way.

Pros: This hotel is a very good choice. Tha hotel staff is very helpful and nice, rooms are big, clean and comfortable. The breakfast is very tasty and abundant. The hotel is only five minutes walk from the main attarctions of Istanbul (Topkapi, Aya Sofia, Galata Bridge), so I can recommend to everybody to choose this hotel. You won't be disappointed. And last but not least the hotel has a very good transfer service from/to the airport.

Pros: the staff was really nice, professional and efficient. Although the facilities are a bit rundown, the hotel is clean...towels and sheets smelled good. Harum at the front desk, made sure everything is in order and that we had nothing to complain about. Keep up the good work!

Pros: the staff at the hotel were very hospitable and took care of all our needs from baby food to transport, they were fantastic!

Pros: The hotel had a fantastic location and one of the most breathtaking views of Istanbul that I've ever seen. We were able to walk to the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sofia from this hotel, although it was a lengthy (but enjoyable) walk. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made every effort to make the stay as pleasant as possible. The reception spoke English and was able to help give us recommendations on places to go and directions to get there. I would absolutely stay here again.

Pros: The nice and helping staff and its wonderful view of Maramara sea from restorent on 10th floor.!

Pros: the very impressive few from our room iat 9th floor

Pros: Nothing was too much trouble, staff were helpful and charming at all times and went above and beyond the call of duty - they had my check in paperwork ready when I got there at midnight, even though I hadn't given them advance warning, had a platter of fruit ready in my room and even managed to find an adaptor at 1am. Faultless service. I would stay here again without hesitation and recommend it to others. In an 8-day stay, it was the last of 4 hotels I stayed in and while there are plenty of snazzier, more luxurious hotels - you have to pay top whack for that - the Golden City was spotlessly clean, facilities were immaculate and free wireless in the rooms (even the the 5* I stayed in earlier didn't have that). Excellent location too.

Pros: The staff and personnel were very kind and helpfull. The hotel is well situated across the Golden Horn with a splendid view over it and the old city. You are in walking distance of all the beauty of Istanbul. You can go to the roof with a terrace and enjoy the lovely view! Rooms are clean and breakfast is good.

Pros: We booked standart room is about 10 m2, bed not for 2 people very small. In suit was everything excelent

Very clean and very comfortable rooms. My experience with the staff memebers was great: they are kind, friendly and always willing to help.

Pros: The hotel staff were all friendly and polite in particular Irfan as he did go out of his way to help and advise on places to visit in the city. The health and Spa facilities were all clean and in working order, the staff working there are also very friendly and always at hand to help and assist. The hotel is a newly built so the condition of it is excellent and spotless and very close to the Metro station so is ideally located. The bathroom amenities are very good, the hair dryer is powerful and so is the iron.
