I stayed for 8 nights and really enjoyed my stay. Staff all friendly and helpful. Nazife how cleaned our room was very kind and helpful. Our room was clean. I would only recommend that for breakfast the hot foods should have warmer. And if possible a toaster would be nice. We did not use gym or swimming pool but check them and it is pretty nice.
Location is good 3 minutes walk to Taksim😊 good restaurants near hotel.
I recommend this hotel and will go again.

Unfortunately, I put my wallet into a safe box including 31*100 USD =3100 USD and went out for breakfast from 08:45 till 10:00
When I reached my destination Dubai today I saw they robbed my money and changed those notes to 30*1 USD 30 USD Please consider this matter and contact the hotel management

The staff was nice I must say, the pool was out of service the whole 10 days there ( pool was one of the reasons we chose this hotel) It is close to a bar with filled with obnoxious drunks laughing all night. Not a terrible place but, could have been better. Probably more suited for people under 30 years old

Hotel located in a noisy area

The experience was not pleasant at all. The hotel is located in a very noisy area where loud music from nearby nightclubs starts at 10-11 pm until after 4 am or so, we could not sleep the whole night.
The room was too warm and we couldn't open the window because of the noise outside.
The room is small, luckily we did not have much luggage so we were able to walk around the room. The kettle is on a table in the corner with a cord that does not reach the wall and we couldn't push the table to reach the wall socket because it gets blocked by the bed so I had to literally carry the kettle to boil water.
The room does not get cleaned properly; you could see dirt everywhere, they just fix the beds and mop the bathroom floor. Housekeeping could not be bothered to wash the coffee cup for three consecutive days and when I requested clean cups and made a complain, the house keeping guy said to talk to reception!

Average hotel in a good location.

I got a good price, and l knew the location was great. The room was clean and of reasonable size. The two things that really bugged me was the the female receptionist was very rude, as was the porter. They have no idea what a smile is, or what customer service means. Also, the rooms have paper thin walls. It is easy to hear what is going on in the next room. I had to put up with music and loud talking all night from my friends next door. It ruined an otherwise descent experience.

Its a nice hotel for price .

I got a room on the far end , not good wi-fi .
Had to stay by the door to use the wi-fi . I think the hotel should do somehting about that if they are reading those reviews.

The staff is very friendly , food not so good , Its an ok stay all in all .
I recommend it , Just be sure not to take the bachlor room , it super small , I had to upgrade to a double .

Comfortable hotel close to bus transfer to airport

Comfortable hotel. Located closed to bus transfer to airport.
However room is quite small. I had difficulty moving around in my room with my luggage on the floor as it occupies all walkway space.
Hotel staff insisted on bringing luggage up with me in the lift even though I have politely declined (because I did not have any small notes to tip him). He then stick around in my room for 5 minutes explaining all hotel facility to me which made me feel kind of awkward (as I am a female traveller travelling by myself).

definitely not a 4 star hotel

It was one of the worse hotel experiences. to start with hotel is no longer called golden age2...it took us 30 min to find it because the name outside hotel is avantgarde and not what they publish on website n bookings.
The rooms were so small that it was hard to open the bag and stand in the room at the same time.
The staff was so rude n couldnt be more unwelcoming.
They claim to have gym but no single equipment in the gym works, they are old and broken n honestly health hazad.
The pool is so small that its only good for kids.
The breakfast had a large selections but nothing was edible n they were reluctunt to refill. also the fruits they served were rotten.
If you have any other option for hotel i am sure it will be beter than this hotel.

Smoking room only, dated decor, dark interior

Underwhelming look and feel, very dark with low ceilings and poor lighting. Told that non smoking rooms are even more tiny than the smoking room offered to us. Toilet door doesn't shut. Shower had decent pressure and responsive to temperature adjustments. Included linen, shower toiletries and bedroom slippers, fridge, kettle, mirror in bedroom. Sensible placing of furniture in a small room. 15 minute walk to taksim square, taksim metro station. Acceptable for up to 2 nights after which it will be depressing. Breakfast was quite a spread but rather repetitive and somewhat odd, eg. Creamy chicken soup. English speaking staff are friendly but not quick on tidying and clearing tables. Very much a 3 star hotel and probably earned the additional star from business centre and offer of a health centre which I wasn't able to find. Not one that I will stay at again.
