Istanbul Royal Hotel Review

Offering cars for rent, the 4-star Istanbul Royal Hotel lies merely a 5-minute stroll from Walls of Theodosius. This Istanbul hotel features 128 rooms in a shopping area, a 25-minute walk from culture-oriented attractions such as the large Topkapi Palace harem Museum.

A buffet breakfast is available each morning at the Royal Istanbul. Royal Restorant is an in-house French restaurant, serving French dishes. A piano bar with light drinks is also located on site. You can visit a grill bar situated close by and taste contemporary cuisine.

The attractive accommodation stands in the Old City Sultanahmet district of Istanbul, 16 minutes' walk from Sea of Marmara. The historical urban Gulhane Park is a 5-minute drive from the hotel, while Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International airport is 45 km from it.

Also, the superb Istanbul Archaeology Museums lies a 25-minute walk away, and Yenikapi is within a short walking distance of the property.

Some of the soundproof rooms comprise a balcony and a seating area, and are furnished with a sofa. Guests can use a shower/bath combination, along with hairdryers and bathrobes. You can enjoy views of the sea.

There is cots and a buggy for the smallest ones. This Istanbul hotel includes a conference room equipped with a work desk and a xerox.
