Ramada by Wyndham Istanbul Golden Horn

The staff were tremendously helpful and accommodating! After arriving late at night to the airport, the hotel night manager Azad made sure to call and message me to confirm my arrival and went the extra mile to make sure I receive proper directions to the hotel and even offered to speak with the airport taxi service to make sure I didn’t land in a tourist trap - thankfully this saved me lots of money as the original transportation quotes from the airport were exorbitantly high! Due to the Azad’s guidance I was finally able to source a ride to my destination at a fair price. Upon arriving to the hotel I was kindly greeted by Batuhan who was waiting outside of the lobby in anticipation of my arrival and without hesitation assisted me with my luggage. Upon checkout, Omer and I had a fantastic chat over a cup of delicious Turkish coffee about which parts of Istanbul to explore and to contact him if I ever need any assistance navigating the city. As charming as the hotel is in and of itself, I typically do not leave feedback and simply rate my stay; this time around however, I feel compelled to leave a review considering the exceptional service received from the staff. To those who made my stay incredibly hospitable: 5 stars out of 5!

Great location on the Golden horn sea/river, 15/20min drive/taxi from the old town and historic center, the room was spacious and super comfortable bed/pillows/blanket, we were a bit cold so asked for extra blankets. The staff were so friendly and doing their best to help for any request. From the first moment we set foot in the hotel, despite it was late night/early morning (2am ish), Azad and Bathuan were so helpful and friendly taking time to answer our many questions as it was our first visit to Istanbul. We bought a sim card to get set with data and Bathuan spent at least 20min talking to us about different things to do and recommended places to visit including a Turkish hamam which we went to and was great. Mert was so helpful in responding promptly to our questions, changing money, calling taxis etc, Omer with his friendly welcoming manners and the genuine smile, thank you so much guys🙏 Highlights: - Friendly recommendation of things to do. - Responding efficiently to our requests: extra blankets, extra coffees teas milk etc. - In house spa with many treatments including turkish hamam, my wife was happy with the reflexology and relaxing massage. - Great room service and tasty delicious fresh food, served warm to our room. - Plenty of turkish restaurants nearby (next door!) - Grocery Shop with open till late night. - Taxi (+-150TL to old town) 5min waiting time, bus stop at 1min takes 25/35min with one change to old town. - Pharmacy 1min away. - Indoor roof terrace with stunning views on the Golden horn river. - Nothing was too much trouble. I hoghly recommend and we will definitely go back!

This year, we stayed at the Ramada Hotel Golden Horn twice because we really liked it! The location is near a wonderful park called Miniatürk and it‘s easy to get to and from an airport with a car (the valet parking is a nice touch, as street parking is tough). Excellent rooms, a magnificent hearty breakfast buffet, and very good, responsive, and polite staff. Special thanks to Omer, Ali, Yahiz and Atakan, they were a great help to us!

The hotel's luxurious ambiance, combined with its prime location overlooking the golden horn made for a truly magical stay. The room was beautifully decorated and offered breathtaking views of the city skyline from roof top restaurant. The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the Turkish breakfast served at the hotel. The spread was a feast for the senses, featuring an array of traditional dishes such as olives, cheeses, tomatoes, cucumbers, and fresh-baked bread. The rich flavors and aromatic spices of each dish truly captured the essence of Turkish cuisine.The attentive staff ensured that every guest's needs were met, providing impeccable service with a warm and welcoming attitude. From start to finish, my experience at Ramada golden horn exceeded all expectations, and I can't wait to return for another indulgent stay.

I was overall very satisfied with my stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff were helpful. Apart from this, everything else was excellent. I would still recommend the hotel but suggest checking your vehicle carefully after using valet parking.
