Golden Metro Boutique

It isn’t a sea view, and the place could be a bit cleaner, but staying here was an amazing experience. The host was very friendly and quick to help with practical things. The owner eventually offered me an inexpensive taxi ride to Camliça Camii, the biggest mosque in Europe. It turned into a lovely adventure: I joined prayers with this sweet old man, and we had tea and food together. I’d definitely recommend this place.

The person in charge arranged a shuttle taxi, stayed in touch by phone, and was available whenever we needed anything. The service was five stars. The apartment was very clean and had a kettle, coffee, tea, cups, and sugar to get us through the first day. Markets, the bus terminal, metro, ferries, and boats are all close. The metro passes nearby, but it didn’t disturb our sleep since we were out all day and got home late at night. I recommend it 100%.

The location was perfect, the hotel was clean, and the staff were nice. It was well priced too. The owner has some nice videos you can use while visiting Istanbul. We had a perfect experience and will definitely return :)

The building shakes, and the train tracks are only 4 metres from the window. Trains pass whenever they need to, whatever the time. The noise is so intense that even dogs or cats don’t stay around. There was no information about the railway. I checked twice on booking.
