Travel to Orhangazi

Great staff, lovely, clean rooms with comfy beds

Carina Gold was a pleasure to stay in. Excellent location short walk to Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern Museum. Hotel staff friendly and very helpful giving informative information about areas and providing activities if required. Room clean and spacious would highly recommend the hotel and staff for anyone wishing to visit Istanbul.

It’s a very nice “boutique hotel”! Depending on what one wants or expects, it might not be exactly that. If one wants a larger hotel with fancy lobby and big rooms, this is not it. However, the staff are super friendly, overall very clean and comfortable hotel. It’s within walking distance of some of the best tourist attractions including the Bazaar and famous mosques. Great restaurants and coffee shops. Be aware that this hotel is in an old neighborhood with small roads that might or might not be open to car traffic all the time. Rooftop restaurant and the food was great. Overall, it is a nice hotel if you are not with a family. Rooms are small and some have no windows!

Clean rooms, great staff, great breakfast, great location

The location of this hotel is its biggest problem. It’s not close to public transit which makes it very difficult to get around if you’re not a hardy walker. The beds are very firm and not all Kingsize if that’s important to you. The staff do their best to help solve problems. On the positive side, the breakfast is good, served on the top floor with a gorgeous view of the Bosporus. The spa is fantastic! We were given 2 spa treatments on the house. The Lavender Body Scrub and Massage was amazing. This hotel is a nice 3 star but it doesn’t come close to the 5 star hotels we have stayed in around the world.
