We stayed at this hotel twice within a two-week period. On the first occasion, we stayed for four days, and on the second, we stayed for two days. Unfortunately, both times, the Air conditioner was not functioning, and the reception attempted to charge us $10 for a room key that we had inadvertently lost. While the hotel’s location is pleasant, it falls short of meeting our expectations as a satisfactory hotel.

Golden Royal was amazing! Great breakfast, comfy beds and pillows. Staff were super friendly. Just one piece of advice, do not get a room on the top floor in the middle of summer. The ac struggled to keep the room cool. Other than that we had no complaints at all.

The perfect place when visiting Istanbul. Close to Grand Bazaar and Blue Mosque. The staff are amazing. Special thank you to Abdurrahman who assisted in so many ways, from providing breakfast items at midnight for my two kids, to requesting a neighboring restaurant to stay open a bit later for us to eat! Above and beyond is really appreciated when kids are involved. The hospitality is unmatched ! Thank you for an amazing time!

Our stay was pleasant, which was due in large part to staff member Abderrahmane. He was very welcoming and made us feel at home. He was also very knowledgeable, and gave excellent recommendations. One note we have is to improve the hotel breakfast coffee, which currently appears to be instant coffee.

- The staff were professional, friendly and helpful; especially Abdul Rahman, Yunus and Ola. Also, there’s a staff at the ground floor that took us to a few shops when we needed to buy adapter for the socket. - The Hotel provided us with sumptuous breakfast throughout our stay. - The hotel is central and closer to historical places. - The room didn’t have adapter and the hotel didn’t provide it - we had to buy one with our money. Also, we were never not informed that the drinks in the fridge were at a price until when we checked out in the morning.
