Guests receive a complimentary welcome dinner for stays of three nights or longer. A free breakfast buffet is served daily.

Golden Horn Location

Situated on the shores of the Golden Horn natural harbor, the hotel faces the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate on one side. It is 1.5 km from Suleymaniye Mosque and Kariye Mosque, 2 km from Galata Bridge, and 3 km from Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. The Fener tram stop is adjacent to the property, with bus routes 99, 99A, 99Y, 33ES, 36CE, 44B, 48E, 399B, and 399C serving the area. Istanbul Airport is approximately 800 TL by taxi, with shuttle bus options available to Taksim or Eminönü.

Guest Services

“What struck me is the preserved history, not just within the walls of this building dating back to the 19th-century, but in its perfect location within the Fener-Balat district. I found the Greek restaurant an unexpected treat, and sea view rooms are undoubtedly the best choice. For anyone wanting a unique Istanbul experience, this feels like a find.”
