New Year Break
Room was smaller than anticipated, with very small bathroom
Staff were great though, always helpful and friendly
Hotel is perfect for Galata Tower and Taksim Square but beware that airport transportation struggle to find it due to one way system on narrow approach roads

The Royal Galata hotel was clean, cute, and perfectly located. One of the managers Baris, was very helpful! He helped me schedule a covid-test required for entry back into the states, printed out documents for me, and scheduled a taxi to the airport for me. Definitely recommend this hotel!

Did not sleep at all. At first look the room seemed fine and the ahower was excellent, but the room faced the street which was noisy all night with people and cars and the seals on the windows were so bad, that you could hear the noise as if the window was open. Pillow and mattress were extremely uncomfortable. Switched air con off, but it kept making dripping noises all night. Would not book again…

Pişmanlık..
Konum olarak kötü. Valiz ile gelecekseniz yokuş bir konumda olduğu için zorlanacaksınız. 3. sınıf bir hotel. Personel çok asık suratlı. Resepsiyonda duran arkadaş sanki onun işletmesi gibi davranıyor. Kesinlikle tavsiye etmiyorum. Paranızı çöpe atmayın.

Sehr saubere Zimmer und Badezimmer! Perfekt fürs übernachten. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig, da wir aber den ganzen Tag unterwegs waren, hat es uns nicht ganz gestört, wir würden wieder kommen! Auch die Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr nett!

Hôtel bien situé mais la chambre ressemblais plus à un sauna qu’une chambre d’hôtel.
Il faisais 31 degrés dans la chambre avec aucun moyen de mettre la Clim. Nous n’avons pas pu dormir 1 seule nuit complète!
