فندق ‏‫موڤنبيك القرن الذهبي إسطنبول

Friendly people, good service, nice river view, good food but too far from the city. There is Tram running nearby but very difficult to buy a card. Once you got is, very easy to use. One drive cost you about 10 Lila. Station toilet is very clean and you use the same card to get in. Pity this hotel is not near the city centre.

The hotel is very nice, specially service is 5 out of 5. All the employees are very helpful, receptionist, housekeeper are smiling face all the time, i want to specially give my thanks to the waiter Erdal bey in the lobby bar. He was giving the best service and very helpful and smiling face all the time. Thank you Mövenpik !!

The stay was good. But be aware of drinking herbal tea from the room. They charge 80 lira for one tea bag. Like any other hotel I guessed it was free. Location was not good. Too far from bust area. The breakfast was good.

My first time in Istanbul, tagging along with my husband on his business trip. I'm also working remotely while he's in his meetings. My first impression: the place smells nice and fresh despite people smoking outside (reason is lots of places I've been to are reeked of cigarette smokes and this one to my surprise does not). There's a restaurant on the top floor for lunch and dinner and one on the 1st floor (or 2nd if you come from the US) for breakfast. Food could be boring after a while as they don't vary much but for my 7 day stay, I won't mind as I am still exploring all the dishes offered. So many things I like about this hotel: decent rate, free water bottles in the room (2) and the water tastes different from one in the US, good food, fast and steady WiFi, good and quiet room temperature control (okay this one might sound unreasonable to others, but I definitely don't like having an AC unit by the window which cannot stop blowing air no matter how you set it or even when there's no standalone AC unit, the thermostat can go crazy and air could be blasting so it's either too hot or too cold in the room), good quality housekeeping (they really clean the toilet and sink and replace dirty cups with clean cups, I am working in the room while the housekeeper (names Kadriye, I believe) cleans up my room. Some might say she's doing all that because I am present in the room, but I've seen her doing other rooms too).

I stayed in the hotel for 5 nights, between the 9th oct-14th oct I can say that the hotel is more of a 3 stars hotel: -Below average breakfast buffet (no options, same thing everyday) -Small room, not 5 stars standards -Unprofessional reception from the woman with orange hair. -Hotel is located in a street with not much taxis and kind of far from Istanbul’s hotspots. But the two door men were very professional and they called a taxi every time we needed one. The hotel also provides shuttle busses which was a great service.
