It's with sadness that I have to write this review, because I had such high expectations from it judging from the past reviews from visitors here. My friend and I booked the hotel through an external website and we were led to believe that the hotel was a '4 star luxury boutique hotel'. Part of the reason why we were... more

This hotel is average and I would not have had a problem with it but for an incident that took place on the final day. I had to meet a friend at Taksim square and made a 30 second phone call to his local mobile to confirm. While leaving, the staff informed me that I had to pay for this... more

I have visited Istanbul before and knew I wanted a hotel close to the centre of the Old City with the Blue Mosque etc in easy walking distance. It could not have been easier than this! The location is perfect for hitting the main historical attractions and also only a short walk down to the ferries for the Bosphorus cruises.... more

This hotel is in a great location that's easy to find! We got the train (metro) from the airport and just one change onto the tram lead us basically to the door of the hotel within an hour.

This hotel is in the perfect location. Within easy walking distance to attractions in the old city.We had a junior suite which was spacious and comfortable.

The bathroom needed a good clean and was really due for renovating due to worn out fixtures and leaking shower/bath. No excuse for... more

The location of the Hotel Romance is excellent , in the old city, and in the middle of aincient history. It is just walking distance to the best historical places of Tukey. I always stop over there and enjoy the sightseeing, restaurants, shopping etc, all by walking....no transport needed! The staff in the Romance hotel are extremely kind and helpful.... more

The name attracted us the first time. We wanted a quiet oasis in the evening after a busy sight-seeing day during the week. That is exactly what the Romance can offer. The reception and restaurant staff offer a typical, very friendly Turkish welcome every day. The hotel attracts many different nationalities from Western and Eastern Europe, and the USA. The... more

The Romance is a delightful hotel, ideally situated for exploring the key sights of Istanbul. What makes this hotel exceptional is the friendliness of all the staff who went out of their way to ensure I had a pleasant stay. From arrival to departure, the staff could not have been more helpful. I have limited mobility and often found getting... more
