We had a wonderful 5 nights at the hotel. The staff were friendly and very helpful. They were informative and arranged a guide for a day - an excellent experience. The location was perfect, near to trams, ferries and the metro, with lots of places to eat. We particularly enjoyed the breakfast and the afternoon tea and cakes at the hotel. The rooms were large, despite being in a busy area after 11pm it was very quiet. No hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Terrific staff from greeting to departure. Everyone smiling, helpful, knowledgeable and going out of their way to help with bags or whatever. Lovely large room, spotlessly clean and well furnished. Excellent buffet breakfast for about $12. Perfect location in the old town. Walking distance from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cisterns, Spice Market and Bazaar. Reasonably priced, right in the center of endless restaurants and shops and fronting on a trolley, if you are so inclined.

The Romance Istanbul Hotel has a fantastic location with easy walks to Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, and Topkapi Palace, and the tram lines. The hotel itself has a superb breakfast buffet, lovely comfortable rooms, and the best staff that I have ever encountered in 50 years of traveling. I truly felt sad leaving for the cruise ship. I can’t recommend it enough! And special thanks to Hakan and Onder for their help and restaurant recommendations!

Our family had such a wonderful stay at Romance! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality that made us feel right at home. The location of the hotel is perfect—central and within easy walking distance to many of the city's iconic landmarks, making our exploration of Istanbul effortless. One of the highlights was the breakfast, which exceeded our expectations with its variety of delicious and fresh options, catering to everyone’s tastes. The quality and presentation of the food made our mornings something to look forward to. We were also fortunate to meet Ramazan, the best manager ever! He went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, always attentive and ready to assist with a charming smile. His dedication truly made a difference in our experience. The hotel also had beautiful, high-quality bathrobes, and we loved them so much that we decided to buy one as a wonderful keepsake from our stay. It was a small luxury that added to the comfort of our visit. We highly recommend Romance Istanbul Hotel to anyone looking for a pleasant and memorable stay in the heart of the city. It was truly an amazing experience! Hanna T

To anyone looking to book a hotel near the old town of Istanbul, look no further. The Romance Hotel was perfect! It is a 5 minute walk to Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. There must be 20 restaurants within a 3 block radius, as well as lovely shops. Though right on a transit line, it was extremely quiet. The staff was outstanding - courteous and very helpful. They booked a private tour for the two of us with an excellent guide at half the Trip Advisor price. They arranged our transport to and from the airport, which was seamless. The bed and linens were top class, and the entire hotel is spotless. I can't recommend this hotel highly enough!
