Darica Holidays from AU$1,729

Everything was wonderful including breakfast. Staff went out of their way to help us!

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.

Great staff, lovely, clean rooms with comfy beds

Clean rooms, excellent location, very nice staff

This was one of the best stays we’ve had in Istanbul. Never having stayed in Taksim Sq and with a car, we appreciated the valet parking and relatively very easy access off the highway. The location is great to be able to walk and take public transport to most of the great sights. We were upgraded to a large suite and everything from the bedroom, walking closet and large bathroom were superb. The welcome note, fast check in, and snacks in room, with discrete and efficient service were wonderful. Staff were uniformly friendly especially our the guest attendant who took us to our room, welcomed us to the city and showed us the room. It was really a nice welcome in a city and country where hospitality is already very strong. Superb breakfast buffet and service. Finally, the view from the hotel over the city and Bosporus was wonderful. Watch the narrow lanes around the hotel if you’re driving, many dead ends, one ways. Not easy or practical for self parking.
