Istanbul Royal Hotel

I stayed at this hotel during my trip to Istanbul, and unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. The cleanliness left much to be desired—dust was noticeable in the room, and it didn’t feel properly maintained. The lack of basic facilities was disappointing as well. Essentials like a kettle and an iron weren’t included and had to be paid for separately, which felt inconvenient and unnecessary. The food was just average, with no authentic Turkish dishes offered, which was a letdown. On top of that, the reception staff was quite pushy, constantly trying to sell their transfer services, making the experience uncomfortable. Overall, the stay was okay, but the hotel could greatly improve its cleanliness, amenities, and customer service.

Hotel really dirty with strong ciggarette smell, breakfast also very basic and limited. Overall not recommended.

The hotel was outdated to no end!!! Filthy, hazardous, and lacking the basics in every corner. The manager was rude and couldn't care less if the customers were satisfied. I did inform her that I would post the pictures online, and her response was, "I don't care." There were molds everywhere, the windows had a huge draft, and the rooms had no heating. We froze and had to sleep with our coats on. The hairdryer fell apart as we turned it on, and the bathtub had a huge crack. I would NOT recommend this hotel to my Enemies! I have attached some pictures for your pleasure. We had to check out after three days but were supposed to stay for a week. They refused to refund us our money!
