9/10 Wonderful! (1,848 reviews)
The staff was excellent and professional. The room was clean and the cleaning service was excellent. I especially love that the floors are wooden so they can be washed. The hotel was a short walking distance (probably around 7-10 minutes at a medium-slow pace) to Aya Sophia Masjid and the Blue Masjid. I especially recommend praying Fajr at one of the Masajid (especially Aya Sophia).

Staff at the front desk were really kind with us. From the welcome to the last day. The cleaning staff did a very good job every day. The hotel taxi service was excellent too. We feel very lucky of having had this stay in the Carina Gold hotel so conveniently located at the heart of the historical Istanbul. Better could not be.

lovely building despite restoration going on inside

I always go here when I visit. It's one of my favourite buildings in Istanbul. The harmony and respect between Islam and Christianity is touching but the architecture is spectacular when you consider how old it actually is. Don't forget to touch the lucky spot on the weeping column (to the right as you exit the main mosque).
