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.
