To anyone looking to book a hotel near the old town of Istanbul, look no further. The Romance Hotel was perfect! It is a 5 minute walk to Hagia Sofia, the Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern and Topkapi Palace. There must be 20 restaurants within a 3 block radius, as well as lovely shops. Though right on a transit line, it was extremely quiet. The staff was outstanding - courteous and very helpful. They booked a private tour for the two of us with an excellent guide at half the Trip Advisor price. They arranged our transport to and from the airport, which was seamless. The bed and linens were top class, and the entire hotel is spotless. I can't recommend this hotel highly enough!

Wonderful boutique hotel, walkable near the mosques and bazaar. Decor is outstanding. The pool, turkish bath, steam room and saunas are incredible. Massage services are provided for an extra cost that is well worth it after a plan flight. Complimentary tea time with sweets and fruit should not be missed. The staff was so kind and assisted with airport transit.
Our room was the royal suit for 4 with shower and spa tub and stocked mini bar. I would return. Not overcrowded perfect.

The staff was exceptionally welcoming and helpful in every aspect - whether you needed information on sights, transport, hamamms. Every little request was immediately done. Nothing ever seemed too much. They were genuinely friendly. The excellent breakfast buffet and on request food and coffee were all included in a small €10 charge. And afterwards you could work it off in gym, sauna, steam room, pool. The location was brilliant too. Most top sights in the city were within a short walking distance.
For a medium priced hotel it absolutely surpassed all our expectations. Thank you to the excellent staff!

Stayed here for 5 nights in May and the location is great in the old town
Staff were very attentive and great service. Hotel is nicely styled, better in our opinion than more modern plain style - we liked it. Had breakfast at hotel 4 mornings and pre-booked this was at a special rate which made it worthwhile.
Bed was comfortable, room was clean and had everything we needed. Curtains don’t fully cover window so some light does get in - if you like a dark room then bring sleep mask.
Use of pool (small - can’t do laps but pleasant) plus steam room / sauna included. Can use hamman.
Would recommend staying at this hotel for location and service, glad we stayed here
