We got the hotel recommendation through a friend of us and we did not regret our decision at all. The hotel taxi service from the airport made the start of our weekend city trip very smooth. Having a drink in the evening at the hotel roof terrace is a must, even though you will enjoy your breakfast there as well.... more

We stayed for 5 nights in the wonderful little Romantic Hotel . Proprieters Ahmet and his team were excellent and very informative . The hotel is situated in the perfect location for exploration and leisure . Beautiful old Ottoman architecture and a great view of the Blue Mosque . Perfect spot ! . more

The hotel is located just east of the Blue Mosque in the Sultanahmet area and is only 5-10 mins walk from many of the main attractions. We stayed in room 202, a standard room, and enjoyed a view of the Golden Horn. The room, however, was very cramped, the door to the veranda was broken and required repairing during our... more

My partner Julie-ann and I stayed at the Romantic Hotel for two nights after a cruise from Athens. The location of the hotel so close to all the old city attractions and the great water views from the room and rooftop are well documented but again I must make special mention of the friendliness and helpfulness of all of the... more

My partner and I stayed here from Sep 3rd 2009 for four days. We booked this hotel from the hotel's website. Booking was easy and email communication was very prompt. We booked the Dolmabahce Suite eight months in advance. We were not disappointed. We had a great view of Marmara Sea. The hotel is situated within easy walking distance (five... more

Location ideal for wandering around cobblestone streets and close to mosques, markets, and shops. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea was a... more

My girlfriend and I spent two nights at the Romantic Hotel in Istanbul. Honestly, I was a bit worried by the somewhat cheezy-sounding name. However, our fears were quickly dispelled: we were upgraded to a triple room (top floor), which was quite spacious. Satellite TV worked fine, as did the a/c. The rooftop terrace where we took our breakfasts was... more

The hotel is small, old world style , and quaint. Location cannot be beat. Situated in a very nice old , quieter, section of old Istanbul with cobblestone streets , and about a 5 minute walk to the heart of the old town, trolley, etc. many restaurants, mini mart, etc only a few steps away. The hotel is tall and... more

After a day in Istanbul with all its shopkeepers trying anything to have you buy their stuff, the Romantic Hotel was a quiet and relaxing place to be. It's quite clean, the presentation is a little bit rococo but not displeasing, and the staff is very nice and carefull, and always amiable. The only downside (or kind of) was when... more
