During my recent stay at the Istanbul Golden City Hotel, I appreciated the beautiful views of the Bosphorus and Hagia Sophia from my room, which made waking up in the morning good. However, I was disappointed by the small size of the rooms, which didn't leave much space to move around. The staff were kind and attentive, but their limited English made communication difficult at times. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, which was a plus, although the rooftop dining area felt uncomfortably warm without proper ventilation. Overall, it's a mixed experience with some highlights and notable downsides. 🌅🍽️
