Liars... stay as far away from them as possible!
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

We had a very negative experience with this property.

After making a reservation through Booking.com, we were told upon arrival that they “couldn’t see” our booking due to a supposed system issue. They then asked us to cancel the reservation and suggested making the payment outside the platform, which is a major red flag.

On top of that, they tried to offer us a much worse room in the basement instead of the one we originally booked. The room was dirty and clearly not what we had agreed to.

A few minutes later, another couple from our country arrived and experienced the exact same situation. Apparently, we had both been booked into the same room with the jacuzzi. They were shown the same dirty basement room as an alternative and ended up sitting in their car trying to find another hotel.

We had just arrived after a long trip, exhausted and expecting to rest, but instead we were forced to deal with this situation and find another place to stay at the last minute.

Although we eventually received a refund and found alternative accommodation, the whole experience was stressful and disappointing. People should stay away from these liars.

Allez ailleurs...
Pros:

Il aurait fallu que je reste plus de 2h pour le savoir..

Cons:

Première fois de ma vie que je reste 1h dans un établissement. La chambre n'est pas du tout celle demandée. Il y a, comme le soulignent plusieurs autres commentaires, une belle tromperie entre les photos prises et le réel. Les chambres ne correspondent pas à celles sur les photos.
Nous avions demandé une chambre Deluxe avec fenêtre. Elle n'était disponible que le lendemain car un client avait finalement réservé une nuit de plus. Ce n'est pas mon problème ensuite ça sent le mensonge a plein nez. On a voulu nous donner une chambre à côté de la réception... On entend tout, la porte ne se ferme même pas à clé, c'est moche, sale..
Après plusieurs minutes à discuter avec eux, et encore j'avais de la chance d'être accompagné par ma compagne qui parle turc sinon j'étais foutu, nous avons réussi à obtenir le remboursement sans frais.
L'hôtel s'en fout clairement de bien nous accueillir, certains ne doivent malheureusement pas avoir le choix que de rester. Les notes sont extrêmement généreuses et bien gonflées. Faites attention !
Leur extrême rapidité a s'excuser et a accepter le remboursement gratuit sur Booking montrent bien qu'ils n'en sont pas a leur coup d'essai. Cela doit suffire pour certaines personnes à passer l'éponge et à ne pas laisser de commentaires négatifs. Ce ne sera pas mon cas désolé...

Et pour finir plusieurs personnes nous ont dit que nous avons bien fait de ne pas rester dans ce quartier qui craint la nuit.

Pros:

I was looking for a boutique hotel when I came to the Fatih district for a family visit. I chose Royal Hotel based on the recommendation of a friend who had stayed here before.

Throughout my one-night stay, I was welcomed with a warm smile and genuine hospitality. Just as my friend had mentioned, the treats and especially the Turkish coffee were very thoughtfully prepared. I truly felt like a valued guest.

It was a short but very pleasant stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel with confidence.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the parking area was full.

Pros:

Big rooms with comfortable beds, and very clean. The location is amazing, close to public transportation.
The lady at reception in the morning was very helpful, and they also provide a city attractions guide during check-in, which was a nice touch.
They serve delicious Turkish coffee free of charge throughout the entire stay. I really enjoyed my stay overall.
Highly recommended!

AMAZING LOCATION AND EXCELLENT PRICE–PERFORMANCE VALUE
Pros:

I had a very short stay of just one night at this hotel, but it was truly pleasant and enjoyable.

Although I arrived early in the morning and the official check-in time was 14:00, they kindly allowed me to check in free of charge. From the moment I arrived, the staff were very informative and helped me with all the important attractions in the area.

The lady at the reception was extremely helpful and provided detailed information about transportation, the metro, and nearby shopping centers. She even gifted me a metro card free of charge, which was a very thoughtful gesture.

The room was quiet, clean, and perfectly sized. The hotel also offers 24/7 room service, which made my stay even more comfortable.

Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend this hotel.

Pros:

I stayed at Royal Hotel on the last day of my Istanbul holiday, and the treats they offered made me very happy. I tried Turkish coffee for the first time, and they also sent a fruit plate and snacks to my room, which was a lovely surprise.

I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next visit. The bed was very comfortable and spacious, and I stayed in a very clean room.

When I got confused about the way to the hotel, they kindly came to pick me up from where I was. Special thanks for this thoughtful and caring service.

Cons:

I didn't know I needed to give advance notice for parking.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

They never gave us the room we reserved and paid for. First a horrible, dirty, dark room in the basement and after 2 nights they gave us a super small room for 2 people. So we canceled our stay and came back home earlier than planned. Low budget hotels are fine and we didn't have high expectations, but they cannot lie about the accommodations and write every bullshit in their web pages.
