Very cozy room and friendly and an extremely caring host. But the main thing is location. It is in one of the best areas of the city to hang out, but not overly crowded. Lots of great places for breakfast or night out. A lovely wine bar and a cocktail place next door, 7 min walk from one of the bes places for breakfast and endless coffee places all around.

The location comes with a price of suffering a bit when ordering a taxi in dense traffic. Hopefully, the tram/bus station is 5 minutes downhill. Breakfast at the place - I personally would forgo the breakfast in exchange for a small disount in a price, since the area is crawling with top-grade cafes.

From the moment of our arrival to our last minute we were extremely thrilled for the amazing hospitality. The location was great! Roya is situated on the quiet street in the popular area Beyoğlu, near Taksim. There is everything a tourist needs - a beautiful promenade , ancient sights, European architecture, shopping and cafés. All the members of the hotel were so friendly and accommodating. The host can give you a lot of information , help with the luggage and book a transfer to the airport. The room had a unique design. It was really stylish and clean. I was travelling with the toddler :) If you are travelling with the baby, they can offer you a baby crib! The atmosphere was pleasant. We enjoyed the breakfast and fresh baked Turkish cookies. Thanks again to the Roya Rooms that made our stay a good time, comforting and secure. Hope when we return to Istanbul, we will go back to the hotel!

Incredible host! We felt so welcome, I can't thank Vedat enough! Stylish rooms, great shower (temperature and pressure), free unlimited water (very much needed on hot humid days), comfortable bed, warm blanket, TV. The location was exceptional too, just off famous Istiklal Street - food, shopping, entertainment all within reach. Galataport and Galata Tower, trains, buses and ferries all within walking distance, beautiful area to explore Istanbul from.

The rooms need more sound insulation, you can hear very clearly when someone goes up the stairs or is talking loudly on the street. However, it is not a very busy area so it wasn't too noisy most of the time.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a Roya Rooms and I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the level of hospitality that was provided. The staff were not only super professional, but also incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make my stay as comfortable as possible (special Thank to them!). The location of the hotel was also a huge plus point. Being situated near the İstiklal Avenue, Galata Tower and Galataport meant that I was able to easily explore the city and enjoy all that it had to offer. There were also some amazing restaurants in the area, which made dining out a true delight. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a top-notch experience in Istanbul. From the excellent level of service provided by the staff, to the prime location and fantastic dining options nearby, it truly is the perfect place to stay for those looking to explore the city in style.

Nothing to complain about

Things that made our stay 5/5 1. great location: 1 min to Istiklyal, 3 min to Museum of Innocence, 5 min to Şişhane metro station, 10 min to Galata tower 2. cheerful and helpful host making feel-like-home atmosphere 3. minimalistic and stylish design 4. church bell in the morning 5. roof to chill in the evening I was recommended this place by friends and I do the same to my friends.

Warnings: -steep staircase -neighbouring streets are full of bars so it may be noisy on the weekends -breakfast may seem modest for some people

Hotel staff are very hospitable. We called Western Union to meet our urgent cash needs. However, this situation proved very difficult at the weekend when the banks were closed. Employees searched many addresses in Istanbul to find a Western Union branch with cash in its safe. It was an emergency for us and thanks to the staff we were able to handle it. Central location of the hotel provided a lot of convenience. We will definitely visit again.

There is no elevator in the building.

Original “loft” design, cleanliness, very friendly personal. Perfect location - Istiklal, Taksim, Galata, Galaport within walking distance. Close to metro. A lot of nice bars and restorans nearby. Terrace on the roof.

The mattress was too soft for me. Despite all ingredients included in breakfast were fresh and tasty, I prefere fried or scrambled eggs instead boiled available only

We loved the location! The hotel is close to crowded Istiklal but is located on a calm street. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. We really felt like home.

The room is not 20m2, it's smaller. Anyway, it was okey for two people. Bathroom is small)) There is no elevator in the hotel as the building is old. It was not a problem for us but it may be a problem for some people. Though hotel staff will definitely help you with the luggage (as I said they really are very helpful :)).

What a pleasant surprise! Great hotel and location, exceptional value for money. The hotel is close to the most important landmarks and activities. The room was clean and comfortable, we didn't hear any noises from the street. The staff was so welcoming and friendly, they went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They cooked breakfast eggs for me because I don't eat cheese and gave us fruit for our trip to the airport. I can definitely recommend Roya Rooms!

I liked absolutely everything. Outstanding interior, absolutely stunning room. Ferhat treated me absolutely nicely during my stay. I was really hungry after my travel, when I arrived, he made a big and delicious breakfast for me, that was a very nice touch! Location is great too, very close to istiklal street, not too loud, yes could hear the cars, but no night clubs or bars around. I would 100% recommend you to come here for a cozy stay

the only think what was not very comfortable for me are the sockets, which are far from the bed. but it’s also understandable and manageable
