Amazing hotel and the hotel GM, Ali, is the best!
Pros:

The hotel GM, Ali, went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was comfortable. He even provided complimentary cheesecake and cappuccinos for me and my father on our respective birthdays. We loved the location of the hotel, very close to both bridges and easy to walk over to Old Istanbul. So many great restaurants in nearby Karakoy. We also really enjoyed the rooftop breakfast.

Cons:

It can be a little bit noisy at night, so I recommend that the hotel offer fans in the bedrooms to block out some of the noise. Also, there is only one iron and ironing board for all of the hotel rooms to share.

Pros:

Идеальная локация для осмотра Стамбула, автобус, метротрамвай, паром, такси - все в 5-10 мин ходьбы
Идеальный вид на Золотой Рог за завтраком
Не шумно, что особенно ценно в Стамбуле (правда, слышно поезд метро с моста, но ночью он не ходит)
Прекрасный персонал, вне зависимости от смены.
Прекрасный администратор Али

Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay at the Golden City Hotel Istanbul. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming throughout our stay.

The location is very convenient for exploring Istanbul, and the hotel was clean and well maintained. The Wi-Fi worked very well during our stay.

One of the highlights was definitely the breakfast on the rooftop. The view over the Bosphorus and the city is absolutely stunning and makes breakfast a special experience.

The only negative point was the soundproofing, which could be improved, as we could hear some noise from outside and from neighbouring rooms.

Overall, we had a very positive experience and would be happy to recommend this hotel.

Long stay, will repeat this experience next time
Pros:

More than Perfect location
Very helpful staff
Convenient breakfast
Clean Hotel and decent facilities

Cons:

Although elevators are small - as I read in previous comments before choosing the hotel - but we didn't face any delays for using the elevators during our 10 nights even in the peak hours during the breakfast.

Would definitely stay here again and we will return. Great location, great price and great service.
Pros:

We paid a little extra for a Panoramic View and it did not disappoint. It was great at night to open all the curtains and just watch the whole of Istanbul go by, absolutely stunning. The room was spacious, very clean and our room was cleaned and serviced efficiently every day. Staff were all super friendly. The breakfast on the top floor every morning was great with a huge range, lots of staff working and very attentive.

Cons:

On arrival the area doesn't look the best, but it is perfectly positioned for walking and for accessing the metro. You can pretty much walk everywhere, which given the traffic is a great thing. The location right next to the river means there is great access to some lovely restaurants, some cheap and cheerful, some more expensive.

Bastante bien
Pros:

El hotel tiene unas vistas espectaculares, un desayuno muy rico y está muy cerca de todo. Accesible andando y en metro o tranvía desde las paradas cercanas.

Cons:

Nos tocó una habitación enana con un aire acondicionado que hacía muchísimo ruido. Nos cambiaron a otra que hacía menos ruido pero aún así era un poco molesto. La habitación estaba bien pero las almohadas podrían ser más cómodas. En general limpio pero la persona de la limpieza se dejó el producto en el baño dos días
