Great location staff are friendly and the area is safe
This was my second stay at Aspera Hotel, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. The staff were warm and welcoming, the rooms spotless, and the breakfast was excellent. I’d definitely return and recommend it to others

It wasn't the first time to stay in this beautiful cozy hotel and it won't be the last. Staff are so welcoming and friendly, the breakfast is nice, and the access to Şişhane metro station made transportation so easy.
Very very old towels, no water presure at shower, the windows are not well soundproofed, noisy at night. Room very clean, new and clean bedding, Very good location.
3rd time in Istanbul so far the best hotel , clean quiet and very friendly , Best location you can ever have either you are visiting for business or pleasure. Definitely will choose again !!
Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. Would go back there in a heartbeat. Thank you for great stay.

The property is located in a very convenient area! The metro right in front of the hotel. The rooms are very clean and new! The staff I can’t say enough good things about!! They’re soooooo nice, helpful and pleasant. The front desk staff is wonderful!!! :) the hotel is right here Galata tower and we took the metro when needed. 100/10 I would recommend
My husband and I stayed at Aspera Golden Horn Hotel for 5 nights and really enjoyed our stay. From the moment we got there, the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. The view of the sea from our room was beautiful and it was very clean and comfortable. The location was perfect as the hotel was right next to Galata tower and the metro. There were many cafes and dining options nearby as the hotel is very centrally located. We would definitely recommend this hotel to all our family and friends and would definitely book it again if we were to come back to Istanbul.
I want to thank you from everyone that is working in ASPERA hotel golden horn about hard work and friendly whit customer special thank to ELIF hanim that was room service worker she is so kind and every time happy to help and also thank to GÜNEY
EMRE BAHA SERTU and EMRE şef and who ask me I will recommend this hotel to them thank you and thank you Travelocity to recommend this beautiful hotel to me
The staff was very nice and very useful helping us to get tours and options in Istanbul. The hotel location very convenient close to the touristic center of the city by taking the tramway. Hotel amenities and breakfast were very good as well and everything for a very good price comparing with the rest of the hotels. I would return to this hotel if I have the opportunity to return to Istanbul.
Located close to the Galata Tower and metro, easily accessible by taxi as well. Good clean facility, can hear a little bit road noise if on 3rd floor or lower. Rooms are a little small but overall good place to stay. Recommended.
The rooms are very clean and the view from our room was amazing! I must say the staff at this hotel were super helpful and informative. I had some wonderful conversations with one of the reception guys whos name was Tako! Such a awesome man!
This hotel exceeded my expectations. The staff was extremely friendly and caring. They always checked up on me. They have a restaurant as well which was very convenient if I didn’t feel like going out. Room service was exceptional. Hotel is located walking distance from galata tower and a 15 minute walk to Taksim which has lots of shops and restaurants. I will definitely stay here in the future. :)
Hotel is in great location. Staff service was average and could have been better and more friendly I think. We had to ask twice for lower pillows which they said wasn't available the first time we asked. They also promised a higher floor room for us to change into, but never happened. The hotel is on a major road so could be noisy with the traffic, but the sea view from the room is amazing.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Aspera Hotel, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.
The location of the Aspera Hotel couldn't have been better. It was conveniently situated near major attractions, making it easy for me to explore the city's vibrant culture and history.
My stay at Aspera exceeded all expectations. It's a true gem that combines luxurious comfort, outstanding service, and a prime location. Whether you're traveling for business or leisure, I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel for an unforgettable experience. I can't wait for my next visit, as I know I'll be in for another incredible stay. Thank you to the entire team at the Aspera Hotel Golden Horn for making my trip truly special!
We enjoyed the Aspera Hotel Golden Horn so much we extended our stay. Attila who works in the café at the hotel is an amazing person and he deserves a big raise! He is definitely an asset to this hotel. He is friendly, kind, accommodating, and he makes you feel like a part of the family. I can’t say enough about the staff because they were ALL amazing. I have to give special thanks to Memet and Tahir for their assistance. The reservation manager Gokhan was super nice. Osgur always greeted us with a smile and great conversation. The rooms are stunning and very luxurious. The food was very tasty. The location is close to the Galata tower and the famous Istiklal Street. We found some amazing bargains there. There are plenty of restaurants nearby. Overall, I had an amazing time at this hotel and I cannot wait to visit again.
I love this hotel. This is my second visit to the Aspera Golden Horn Hotel. Gokhan, Guney, Ozgur Elif, and Mohamed always greeted us with a smile. They are always so helpful and kind. They treat us like family!
Guney took great care of us every morning. Guney always greeted us with a smile and made sure we had everything we needed at breakfast. Guney is amazing and a great asset to the Aspera Hotel. Fatma makes the most amazing omelettes. Leyent kept us entertained.
Elif is an amazing person. She cleaned our room and made sure we had everything we needed. I love her!!!
The young man who helped us with our bags is kind and accommodating as well.
The hotel is close to restaurants and shopping on the famous Istiklal street! I love the area and one of my favorite restaurants, Nan’s is nearby. I enjoyed my stay.
I can offer just one suggestion. Perhaps it will be a good idea to get at least one English speaking movie channel on the television. Maybe MBC 2 would be a good choice.
My friend and I enjoyed our time at this hotel. It is conveniently located near the Subway, Taxis, Walking distance to numerous cafes and restaurants.
Overall it is a fancy-style hotel. Luxuriously adorned with beautiful carpets, curtains, etc. There was enough space in the basic double bedroom to spread out a bit. The bathroom had a nice layout for two to get ready. Mini fridge and small desk area with a place for a suitcase too. Slippers and Robe included.
I did need to wear my earplugs at night. The windows were not 100% soundproof, and with sirens going on all night, cars constantly honking, and people shouting outside on a Friday night, it was annoying to say the least. But this is no fault of the hotel. The location is ideal for this area, so it comes with booking something like this.
I didn't purchase the breakfast as there are such cute cafes within a 10-minute walk that we thoroughly enjoyed. I think if you're in the area and want somewhere nice to stay, you can't go wrong with this hotel. I'd stay here again if in the area.
