This is a small hotel very close to lots of restaurants. It's a short walk to Kumkapi station which gives you an easy journey to all the main attractions. Hotel facilities are basic but the beds are comfortable and a reasonable breakfast is included. The best feature is the staff - they are just so friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome.

The staff was very kind, and willing to help you out. The area where the hotel is located near by to main tourist attractions. If you are a walker by heart, this is your place, no need to buy train tickets, all can be done just by walking. The staff recommended a great tour by boat. The area is noisy, music and dancing can be listened late at night, probably a great place to stay for younger folks. Overall we had a good time.

I loved the location and the receptionist was absolutely the kindness person ever that I’ve seen in turkey. Golden Sand hotel is the best. I recommend for anyone who visit Istanbul or blue mosque and grand bazar area to try at least one night spending there. Thank you Golden Sand Hotel for your service.

Cozy, humble staff and helpful, good price

It was an amazing place with a wonderful and humble staff. Durmush and Johan were so wonderful and helpful. If I want to explain my experience I should say 'Amazing'. So close to historical places and Bazar. Place is surrounded by shops and restaurants. Breakfast was great and the balcony had a great view. All was good.
