A good option for the ratio of price and quality. Very friendly staff.
Pros:

Very convenient location. Close to the main attractions. I would like to single out the reception staff. The guys are very friendly and tried to be very helpful. Promptly responded to any request.
The food was okay. A normal housing option in relation to the price.

Cons:

There were some shortcomings in terms of cleanliness and nutrition that could be improved.

Pros:

Непревзойденные впечатления❤️ Расположение отеля идеально. Вид из окна завораживающий. Мы были в феврале и в номере было очень тепло и уютно, мы даже открывали балкон чтоб освежить комнату🙃. Вода в душе- это сказка! Такой горячей воды я ни в одном отеле не нашла до этого❤️🔥❤️. Для меня это особый кайф☺️ (Я люблю такую воду в которой даже черти боятся обжечься😜). Постель белоснежная и всегда свежая.
Номер одвольно просторный. Есть холодильник.
Дизайн отеля в целом очень интересный. Терасса заслуживает отдельного инстаграмного восторга😍. Фоточки будут супер 😉.
В отзывах я видела жалобы на ремонтные работы. А разве это плохо, когда усовершенствуется отель? Дискомфорта никакие ремонтные работы не принесли. Не верьте в плохое.🫶
Но не стоит забывать о том, что человек сам кузнец своего счастья. Не ищите минусы. Всегда оставайтесь людьми. Будьте добры и человечны. Именно такие работники отеля. Хозяин отеля готов прийти на помощь и решить любой вопрос. За это ему отдельная благодарность и восторг.
Превзошел все ожидания отель. Спасибо хозяину отеля за то , что он так трепетно старается поддерживать отель на высоком уровне.

Pros:

Výborná poloha, nablízku prístav Eminonu, stanica metra Halič, prijateľná cena, wifi v poriadku, pohodlné postele. V okolí veľa obchodov a reštaurácií. Spice bazár do 5 minút.

Cons:

Veľmi, veľmi skromné raňajky, bez šance nasýtiť sa, nefunkčný kávovar. Sprchovací kút slabo vyčistený. Zástrčka na izbe bez krytu! Chladnička na izbe vo vstavanej skrini s 0,5 m káblom a najbližšia zástrčka vzdialená 2 metre. Na recepcii nebolo vôbec nič, žiadne mapy, letáky, informácie. Mätúce označenie hotela. V skutočnosti je to Golden park hotel. Odporúčam len na prenocovanie na max. 2 dní ako sme boli my. Na dlhší pobyt nie.

Indirizzo fantasma
Pros:

La posizione comodo rispetto alla metropolitana Halic

Cons:

Non ho capito perchè si entra dal Golden Horn Park hotel. Il Golden Life Hotel e il Golden Horn Park hotel sono insieme?? Su Booking sono due hotel diversi ...ma all'indirizzo del Golden Horn Life Hotel non c'è nulla, si deve andare al Golden Horn Park hotel.....

Room and hotel need some attention
Pros:

The location is on the border of the old city shopping district. Walk a couple of blocks and you are in the hustle and bustle of fabric stores, toy shops, hardware stores, tea shops, etc. The hotel wasn’t hard to get to from the metro (but it’s at the far end of the street from where Google Maps directs you).

Sheets and linens were very clean.

At breakfast, the coffee from the machine actually tastes pretty good.

The price was a very good value.

Cons:

The shower was moldy, so I didn’t take a shower the two nights I stayed there (housekeeper just needs to soak it with bleach). The bed was too hard, so I slept on the small twin bed. The dark curtains don’t cover the windows. The hairdryer is broken and has electrical tape over the wires.

The lobby smells like cigarettes. When you push the elevator to the 3rd floor, it takes you to the 4th floor. The ladies who work in the breakfast buffet don’t make eye contact and don’t respond to “hello”. The included breakfast wasn’t appealing, so I just had coffee.

Un grand merci au directeur du Riad, qui nous a été d'une grande aide. Nous reviendrons avec plaisir
Pros:

Tout était super, le prix est très raisonnable. J'ai réservé une chambre économique, mais le responsable de la réception du Riad nous a donné une bien meilleure chambre avec vue sur la mer gratuitement et il a également réservé un taxi pour l'aéroport à un prix très raisonnable, moins de la moitié du prix habituel. Le petit déjeuner était relativement bon mais correct, l'ascenseur fonctionne bien et Internet aussi, ils ont un toit avec vue sur la mer, la vue est vraiment incroyable.

Cons:

Rien "Je le recommande vivement
