We had a lovely stay in this hotel. We really enjoyed the cleanliness and the room was fabulous. We had a balcony off of our room and felt well taken care of by the staff. The breakfast is delicious and it’s a great location to walk to many of the popular sites.

This is the fourth time I am staying at this hotel. The hotel is centrally located in the historic district, Sultanahmet within walking distance to several historic sites and restaurants and businesses. The hotel is very well maintained and the staff is most helpful. The hotel also has its own Hamam and offers a free buffet breakfast. The rooms are clean and updated with new amenities. Highly recommended.

I had a wonderful stay at the Golden Royal Hotel. From the moment I arrived, the staff was welcoming and professional, especially Abdul Rehman, who truly made a difference in our experience. He was always ready to help and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable.

I was a bit concerned at first due to the language barrier, but Abdul Rehman made us feel completely at ease. He suggested both group and guided tours, which turned out to be unforgettable highlights of our trip.

The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, with great attention to detail. While the room was smaller than expected and had no window. The overall guest experience more than made up for it.

Thanks to the exceptional service, especially from Abdul Rehman, our stay was truly memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel for its hospitality and care for guests.

This is my third time staying at the hotel. The location — in historic Sultanahmet — is unbeatable. It is close to several historic sites as well as excellent Turkish restaurants and shopping places, with wonderful street food. The hotel has its own spa that has excellent a Turkish hamam. The staff is friendly, professional and efficient. Mr. Yunus at the front desk is wonderful. He messaged me before my trip to ask if I needed transport from the airport and arranged it promptly. The rooms are very clean and the complimentary buffet breakfast is excellent. I most highly recommend the hotel and will be staying there on my next visit.

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.

- 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.

The unique was that when you arrive and want to check in staff said that my room is under construction and offered to check in in a different less expensive hotel a few minutes from this one. After I said, I won't do anywhere, I was given a room in this hotel. They were offering to check in to a different hotel to other people while I was waiting when they will give me a room in this hotel. After long international flight and booking a room two months in advance, it was very unique to find out at check in that I need to go to a different hotel and my room in this hotel is under construction. Expedia should do something about it.
