Sehr schönes Hotel zum spitzen Preis mit Dachpool ,tollen Blick über den Bosporus und die Schiffe
Pros:

Top Lage des Hotels mitten im Zentrum mit blauer Moschee und Hagia Sophia fussläufig . Zum Bosporus auch nur 5 Gehminuten und zum Ägyptischen Baser 10 Minuten . Frühstückt reichhaltig ,landestypisch für jeden was dabei .
Schöner Dachpool mit Skyline Ausblick das hat definitiv was für sich .

Cons:

Parkplätze (otopark) vor dem Hotel wussten wir nicht ,da so tief im Zentrum schwer zu erreichen durch die engen Straßen und wir haben irgendwo weiter weg 500m geparkt weil wir es nicht wussten . Also direkt mit Anfahrt Auto Parkplatz neben dem Hotel (öffentlich) überwacht.

Great Stay, great location & reasonable price
Pros:

The location was amazing, its not far from Eminonu, Gulahane park, The Blue Mosque & near to Sirkechi station. Very close to the Bosporus, I loved the roof top pool with its views over the city.
There was a nice breakfast in the morning, with lots of variety,
I had a kettle & a fridge in my room & a safe.
The rooms were cleaned daily,
I had air con
There was a sauna downstairs too

Cons:

I love the outdoors & this is being very picky but there were no windows to see the beautiful view or a balcony, which would have made it an excellent experience for me personally.

Dans l’ensemble, notre séjour a été décevant. Le seul véritable point positif a été la gentillesse des femmes de ménage,
Pros:

Ce que j’ai le plus aimé dans cet hôtel, c’est son emplacement.

Cons:

Dès notre arrivée, après un long voyage, nous étions très fatigués, surtout avec les enfants. Pourtant, une personne est venue nous parler des activités proposées à l’extérieur de l’hôtel. À ce moment-là, nous avions simplement envie de récupérer notre chambre et de nous reposer.

La chambre n’était pas à la hauteur de nos attentes. La vue depuis la fenêtre était très décevante et ne me semblait pas très sécurisée pour les enfants.

Nous avons également rencontré un problème avec notre transfert entre l’aéroport et l’hôtel. Malgré nos difficultés à communiquer, nous n’avons pas reçu d’aide de la part de l’hôtel.

Enfin, nous avons été déçus par le petit-déjeuner.

Dans l’ensemble, je ne reviendrai pas dans cet hôtel et je ne le recommanderai pas. Au vu du prix payé, je trouve que les prestations ne sont pas à la hauteur.

Pros:

Мы отдыхали в Orka Royal Hotel всей семьёй в июле и остались очень довольны.

Отель уютный, чистый, персонал всегда вежливый и внимательный. Завтраки и ужины были вкусными и разнообразными.

Особая благодарность Ufuk Bey за помощь и заботу. Также спасибо всему персоналу за тёплое гостеприимство и отличный сервис.

С удовольствием вернёмся сюда снова и будем рекомендовать этот отель!

Pros:

Świetny hotel w starej części Stambułu. Bardzo dobre śniadania. Pracownicy bardzo pomocni i sympatyczni. Atutem jest basen na dachu i w podziemiach. To moj trzeci pobyt i jeśli kolejny raz odwiedzę miasto, to zapewne tutaj. 😍
