The room was spacious and comfortable, with a stunning view of the park and sea. the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure all my needs were met. the hotel's location is on a hill in the city center, offering a peaceful environment yet still close to many attractions. the communication from the hotel before my arrival was top-notch, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience. Overall, I was highly impressed by the outstanding quality service and attention to detail.
If I had to suggest an improvement, I would say that adding a Turkish hammam and massage service would enhance the guest experience even more. These traditional services would surely be a great addition for guests looking to relax and unwind during their stay.

My recent stay in Istanbul was unexpectedly delightful. The cafe with the breathtaking view was a serene escape. The bustling shopping center was a treat for my eyes. The diverse cuisine at the hotel restaurant was a true feast. The nearby square was always buzzing with energy. The hotel's convenient location near transportation was a win. All in all, a unique blend of history and modernity. And can you believe it, I even found a children's playground to unleash my inner kid!

I enjoyed every detail about my quite comfortable 3 nights stay here. The room was elegant and neat included a safe, a minibar and central heating. The service was absolutely good. Got wake up service free of charge, not bad too.

Dive into Mediterranean delights at Clarion's dining spots, serving up epicurean experiences. Staff excellence and superb cleanliness add to the charm. Plus, enjoy modern, chic rooms and a lovely location.
While the surroundings are delightful, the hotel's secluded location may not suit those craving urban buzz. the room's sleekness and cleanliness shine, making it a hidden gem in Istanbul.

The hotel provides fantastic service, with a friendly and helpful staff at the front desk. The check-in and check-out process was smooth, and the room service and housekeeping are top-notch. The hotel design is beautiful, and the location is perfect. The view of the Golden Horn from the second floor is stunning. The breakfast is delicious, and the room includes a welcoming fruit basket and sweets. I appreciate the efforts of the front office manager, Omer Ozturk, and his team, as well as the duty manager, Ms. Goerkemnur Karaca, for resolving any issues and making our stay enjoyable. The hotel overall is clean and well-maintained, making it a wonderful choice.
I felt completely at home during my stay and have no complaints at all.

I chose the Clarion for its close proximity to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the 22 bicycles parking area, promoting sustainable transportation and adding an unexpected eco-friendly touch to the hotel's features.
Poor sound insulation.

I chose Clarion for its proximity to the Hagia Sophia Museum, and was pleasantly surprised by the 22 bicycle parking area, encouraging sustainable travel. The hotel's easy access to Taksim Square and the Axis Shopping Mall provided a lively atmosphere, and the buffet-style breakfast was a great start to the day.
Late arrival, limited food availability, and Wi-Fi issues.

Clarion offers spacious, comfortable rooms with high-quality amenities. the exceptional bay view and professional, English-speaking staff enhance the five-star experience. Breakfast selection is excellent, including freshly made pancakes.

We had a lovely stay at the Clarion Hotel Golden Horn with our 10-month-old daughter. The modern hotel offered comfortable beds and a panoramic window with magnificent Bosphorus views. The breakfast was excellent, and we appreciated the free closed parking. The standout feature was the exceptional service from the hotel staff, particularly Özgur, John, Mert, and Murat. The location was convenient, with easy access to the airport and shuttle buses to various city locations. The room was spacious, clean, and offered a balcony with a great view. The breakfast at the top-floor Terrace restaurant was delightful. We enjoyed relaxing in the garden area and leisure/TV room, which facilitated family bonding. Nearby landmarks like Hagia Sophia Museum and the Blue Mosque made exploring Istanbul a memorable experience. The only small drawback was the absence of alcoholic beverages on-site. a fantastic stay that I would highly recommend to families visiting Istanbul.

I recently stayed at Clarion in Istanbul for a week-long family vacation. The guest relation manager, Zeynep, provided exceptional service and made sure our stay was comfortable. The hotel itself is beautiful with well-appointed rooms and stunning views of the Golden Horn. I was so impressed that I've already decided to return in August. Highly recommend for a luxurious and welcoming stay.
Do recommend this hotel.

We had a fantastic stay at a hotel with breathtaking views and a new, clean atmosphere. the housekeeping was excellent, and we were delighted to find delicious chocolates every day. Ms. Zeynup, the hotel manager, was incredibly helpful and generous, making our stay extremely comfortable. the staff, including Shaha from housekeeping, provided excellent support and gave us helpful suggestions for places to visit and authentic restaurants to try. we highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting.
All was perfect! 😊

The hotel's location is easy to find by car. Upon our arrival, we were able to locate the hotel easily, thanks to clear signage and easy access. It was as straightforward as finding a needle in a haystack, but with far less effort.
Expensive room rate.

The staff are incredibly friendly, rooms are well-maintained, and the river views are stunning. The snack selection and complimentary water bottles were a nice touch, and the cafe served delicious food. The only downside was occasionally noisy neighbors arguing late at night, but overall, the relaxing garden area and TV room made for a pleasant stay. 🌟

The view of the Golden Horn is simply breathtaking. I mean, who wouldn't want to wake up to a glorious sight? Staff were so helpful and efficient, they practically read my mind. A truly restful and enjoyable stay.
Oh, and let's not forget about the "delightful" breakfast. I don't think I've ever had such an unappetizing meal in my life.

The hotel's elegant decor and comfortable spaces made it a delight for senior guests like me. The general areas were easily accessible, and I appreciated the attention to details in the decoration that added a touch of luxury to the ambiance. The hotel's accessibility for senior people was impressive, with well-maintained facilities and helpful staff to assist with any needs, making my stay truly enjoyable.
I would ask for better vacation experience for senior people if the children of the staff were more attentive and accommodating to the specific needs of older guests.

We stayed at Clarion Hotel Golden Horn with our children and had a fantastic experience at the Axis Shopping Mall. The 110 stores provided a wide variety of options, and the covered parking space made our visit convenient. The Playland children's playground allowed us to relax knowing our kids were having fun in a safe environment.
My wife says that the children's menu at the hotel's restaurant could have more diverse options.

The rooms at Clarion Hotel Golden Horn were so cozy and comfy, with 24-hour room service and plush bedding. The pillow menu was a nice touch, and I felt safe with the laptop-compatible safe.
The shower in the private bathroom was a bit small for my liking.

The staff, especially Oklan and Manyola, were so clutch. The view from the rooms was mad dope. Plus, there's a lit shopping center nearby and free shuttles. We had a blast at the theme park.
Could use more options for young party animals.
