It's alright.

Loses points for a below par breakfast spread and no swimming pool. The location and service were up to scratch but the local restuarants over charge because of the number of hotels and tourists. You have to take a walk to find more reasonable eats. Convenient to reach the bazaar and landmarks.

The Sultans Royal is nothing like its name. It is a cozy inn with clean rooms, a decent breakfast, and very good and friendly service. Good location. Close to everything. Very reasonable, and many rooms have balconies.

Room tip: Ask for an upper floor with a balcony

We needed a short stay option in the old area of Sultanahmet and this proved to be an excellent choice. Upon arrival, mine host, Farouk, was just what you need when you arrive in Istanbul. He was attentive to our needs, explained the facilities of the hotel and told us we had his best room #301. We took the lift to the third floor and our room, one of only two on the top floor, was right in front of us. The room was spacious, had all the facilities required and a private roof terrace all to ourselves. Breakfast the next morning was unbelievable. More like what you'd expect from a 5-star hotel and staff were excellent.

Room tip: Ask for Room 301.

Positives:
- Staff was terrific on all shifts. Excuse my spelling but Faruk, Arrkam and Jafar (Chafak?) always made time to help me with anything. From inquiring about a boat cruise to just hanging out and having a conversation, they were all friendly and easily approachable.

- Location of the Hotel was nearby the main attractions to see in the city. Restaurants were all around you. A variety of stores selling anything from food, drinks to magnets and souvenirs are everywhere nearby as well. Other hotels are around the area as well and felt safe.

- Breakfast was well above average. I couldn't stop eating and trying everything!

- wifi was working at all times

I didn't have any major issues while staying there but like all my reviews, i have to at least put one or two things that i noticed that could be an issue with future travelers but it shouldn't really be a burden to anyone.

Negatives:
- A little effort is needed if you have heavy bags/luggages to climb a couple small stairwells. If the staff stays the same, i doubt this will be any issue because I can see them helping people who need assistance with this.

- Smaller than average lobby ( I couldn't think of anything else)

So conclude, Sultans Royal Hotel is an excellent place to stay while visiting Istanbul. restaurants and stores nearby, A 5-15 minute walk to the main attractions and an incredible staff truly makes this place special!

I booked this hotel for myself and my husband to celebrate his birthday. The hotel was very well run, the staff very helpful and pleasant. The rooms were serviced every day. Breakfast was continental and available in a bright and airy breakfast room, which was reached by a lift.
