The guys at the reception are very friendly and supportive.
I do not recommend the breakfast.
The room is not as expected. Small bathroom for a deluxe room. No slippers. They did not change the bed sheet or the pillow covers all my stay.

Da migliorare
L'hotel è in ottima posizione ma hall e camere sono scadenti. Letti scomodi. Avevamo una perdita di acqua nel bagno e in 6 notti non è mai stata sistemata (di notte un rumore continuo). Il personale molto gentile, comunque. La Colazione molto scarsa e nella hall (che è piccola) ... non certo piacevole. Non valeva il prezzo che abbiamo pagato.

nicht empfehlenswert
“Absolut nicht zu empfehlen. Die Zimmer sind sehr klein, was noch in Ordnung wäre, da man dort ohnehin nur schläft. Aber das Badezimmer ist ein Albtraum – so klein, dass man Platzangst bekommt, wenn man die Toilette benutzen möchte. Duschen ist ebenfalls nahezu unmöglich, da es so eng ist, dass man sich nicht richtig bewegen kann. Das Personal war auch nicht besonders hilfsbereit. Für einen Preis von 160 EUR pro Nacht für ein Doppelzimmer ist dieses Hotel nicht empfehlenswert.”

Nous avons séjourné 14 nuits dans cet hôtel. Nous en sommes très déçues car en effet dès notre arrivée les lits sont inadéquats (1 double et 1 lit d’appoint cassé), alors que l’on avait bien demandé 2 lits simples!! Lits bruyants dans une chambre bruyante près de la salle où il y a plein de machines, des tuyaux…. L’enfer quoi!!! Le personnel nous a dit de rester 3 nuits dans cette chambre pour nous installer dans une autre. L’autre c’était pareil et aucune vue sur la rue !!! Petit déjeuner pas bon du tout et répétitif…. C’était clairement une perte d’argent. Petit point positif quelques personnes de l’hôtel sympa hormis cela vraiment nul. Je ne recommande pas du tout!! A fuir!!!

The property was great as it was only a few steps away from Guhane station, plenty of dining options around and shops.
However, it was too noisy! I have stayed at hostels that are more quiet than this hotel. The elevator runs loudy, especially if you stay on floor 6/7. I could barely get any sleep during my stay there. I honestly do NOT recommend this hotel and definitely will not come back.

Very nice place, the staff are very nice people especially mr. Fatih and mr.nadeem they has been very helpful.
The location is ver convenient, it is close to the tram station and you can walk for 5-7 minutes to Sultan Ahmet and Aya Sofia. I would book the same hotel in my next visit to Istanbul.

Вцелом отель неплохой: свежий ремонт, сотрудники вежливые, уборка ежедневно, столики на крыше, завтрак есть...Но! Звукоизоляции нет, лифт громыхает (особенно это слышно ночью) - выспаться не получится; площадка на крыше маленькая, неухоженная; санузел крошечный, не развернуться.

Fiz esta reserva no Royal Bosphorus Hotel e chegando no hotel eles disseram que não tinham mais vagas e que teria que ir para outro deles que ficava ao lado. Eu paguei por este hotel, essas acomodações. Mas o que eu fiquei era bem inferior a este e COM CERTEZA o valor seria menor se tivesse reservado no que fiquei. Estou bem insatisfeito, não achei justo o que fizeram comigo.

DISGRACE
Bu otele rezervasyon yapmama rağmen başka otele yönlendirildim. Ben neden başka otele gideyim bu otele rezervasyon yaptım deyince "başka şansınız yok" cevabını verdiler. Profesyonellikten uzak anlayışları var. Kesinlikle önermiyorum, paranızla rezil olmayın.
