The room itself was very clean. The bed and pillows were not very comfortable. I have a dust mite allergy and was not able to sleep well. Otherwise, the room was spacious, quiet, and clean.
The air conditioner was welcome after a hot day in Istanbul. The bathroom and shower were spacious and the bath towels were adequate.
Breakfast was not included in my stay so cannot comment. The is a municipal restaurant close by that was nice.
Very close to the T1 tram.

The worst hotel was not like what they claim, I waited more than an hour from ... the date of receiving the rooms, the elevator is small and the narrowness of the bed is uncomfortable

Room was not good, one bed was missing. When asked, staff said I should have requested 5th person bedding. When I showed him my booking details, he was like oh, we didn't know. Then he said house keeping staff is gone and he brought a temporary bed with no comforter! Room was very outdated with very low ceiling. I'm 5'10\" and I bumped my head into ceiling as I went near wall. Ceiling was slanted to very low level in the room and in washroom.
Moreover, breakfast this morning had nothing. No juices, no bread, only boiled eggs and some cheeses with pickled salad etc. I can bet, most of the positive reviews online are fake! It's a 2 star motel claiming to be a 4 star hotel! I have pictures if needs to be uploaded.

Breakfast was plenty full. Slight changes in menu daily. WiFi was very good. Staff was very friendly. Room was clean and spacious. However, TV did not work. But we were on our devices so it was okay. Daily house keeping was good with everything refilled including bottle of water and fresh towels. The floor was not hoovered during our stay. Excellent location to get to the city.

I was very disappointed with my stay. Almost everything was broken, to the air conditioning, to the toilet paper holder, to the door knobs, the refrigerator. The bed sheets were dirty and had stains, the curtains were wrinkly and stained, the hotel staff took hours to simply make the beds, we had to resort to do them ourselves some days. Overall, very dirty and did not resemble the \"aesthetic\" portrayed in the photos at all. The service was very slow, we would ask for towels or an iron and it would take at least an hour to come, or maybe they just forgot about us. The irons were in such a state of filth, they would leave a stain on any clothing that was attempted to be ironed. The hotel lobby would always smell like a sewer. The only good thing about this hotel was its location to the tram and bus stations. Honestly, do not be deceived by the photos displayed, this hotel does not look like that at all, and they do not care about improving the quality of the stay for their customers.

Pleasant stay, location was great as the tram was right near the hotel allowing transport to all the tourist places. Rooms were decent, some on the smaller side with small bathrooms. Ac and plumbing noise and main road noise during the nights.The staff were very helpful and accommodating.

Convenient but not all that quiet

Porta Romanos was a very affordable find for my business stay in Istanbul. A 15-minute walk from the subway I took each morning to my trade show I found the hotel quite convenient. I would say the area lacks a good choice of restaurants, but I managed to eat fine. The optional breakfast offered by the hotel was fine though the only choice in eggs was hard-boiled (perhaps my American bias showing). While my room was clean and comfortable I found the walls to be paper thin. Every night around midnight whoever was staying next door came back to their room without any care or concern for their neighbors. I could hear the shouting and laughing as if they were in my room. Only one night out of my 5-night stay was quiet next door. Otherwise, a very helpful staff and well run hotel.

Good experience

It was in a nice location near bus and tram, but they were not clear about the size of the room. It was much smaller than was expected, but it was fine. They refused late check out as the hotel was fully booked but overall it was a good experience that I recommend.

The hotel is located on the T1 tram line but is quite far from major Istanbul attractions. There is only one fairly small elevator, which often got crowded and took a while to arrive. The room was not ready at the stated check-in time. The room lacked noise insulation, making it difficult to have a relaxing stay. The bathroom was small and somewhat poorly designed with the door hitting the toilet when opened. Breakfast was average with a limited selection. Hotel staff had difficulty communicating in English. Therefore, even the basic requests required numerous explanations and reminders.

Wouldn't recommend

Breakfast was not nice and we think it was from the breakfast served that made us all ill. Bedding was dirty, fridge never worked and key card would stop working every other use and would need to be reset. Also location wasn't very good as it was too far out from the tourist spots in istanbul but this was my fault for not researching correctly.

The only good thing about the hotel is the location, and a receptionist called Ramazan. Ramazan was very professional and very helpful from day one we arrived the hotel.
Other than that the hotel was disappointing.

The rooms are not comfortable, as they are not isolated at all, and you can clearly hear all what the people are talking about in the room next to yours. and it's so noisy at night when someone walks in to the floor of your room.
The room itself, the beds are not restful at all, I was not even able to sleep in the first night because the springs of the mattress were letterly hitting my back , and had to request changing the room in next day, but unfortunately, the mattress of the new room was not much better.

Also The towels smell and dont feel like they were cleaned good.
