8/10 Very good

Very good central location. Ufuk was very informative and helped us with directions. The room service/cleaning guy on 6th floor was fantastic is his job. Breakfast was okish was pretty repetitive. Also the middle aged person serving dinner was very friendly. Now the down side is over booking of this hotel. When I arrived at 10.30pm, the room wasn't available which I fully paid in advance. I was put in economy room with no window and it waisted half of the next day waiting for my room to get ready which was after 10am on the next day.For that reason I didn't unpack my luggage and caused us inconvenience. Also I have witnessed 2 other families going through over booking issue and they were offered room in a different hotel for that night and there was argument with receptionist. Orka Royal sort this issue please, people come here after long flight and belive me this is the last thing thay want. This issue took 1 star off this review. Apart from that it is decent hotel specially it's location. Most of the tourist attraction and restaurants are nearby.

Very polite staff. Hotel is in great location just overall outside view is opposite construction site and car park which is not very pleasing. Tasty and a lot to choose from breakfast. Downstairs spa area jacuzzi was cold.. steam room not working, juice bar not working, gym was shocking small one machine and looked like ordered from alibaba😂 got room on 6th floor by the lift, horrible. So noisy that felt like you sleep in the corridor no sound proof at all. Loud air-conditioning as well.. good value for money but did not feel like 4 star hotel at all

Do not recommend

This was the worst value hotel I have ever stayed at. Although the air conditioning was on, it didn’t work properly, probably due to a lack of coolant. It just emitted a smell without cooling the room. Room was so dark. The outdoor pool was under construction, so we couldn’t use it on the first day. We used the indoor pool for one day, and my child developed an eye infection. The manager couldn’t remember when the water was last changed and was not very responsive. The staff service was also poor. Only one older staff member provided good service, while the rest were rude and unhelpful. Pros: The location is good.

I don’t recommend this hotel. Staffs were rude. Housekeeping they don’t provide water. I literally have to beg for water. Rooms were so small you can’t even walk. Bed is so small. No Iron in the room. No Shampoo or Conditioner in the bathroom. For luggage no proper staff. We had 5 luggages. Need to bring half of them by ourselves to the room.
Verified review

4/10 Fair

The only thing I like about the hotel is the location, very close to the Sirkeci Marmaray station. Other than that it was a total disappointment and terrible value for money. In terms of cleanliness I once found a cockroach in my room, I once came to the room and found my pillow with no pillow case and I once found a hair in the cheese plate in the breakfast buffet. Speaking of the breakfast buffet, it was the most disappointing. I almost went out to get breakfast elsewhere every day of my stay because there is no variety in the buffet and nothing is inviting! The staff are not the warm kind, they might get you what you need but again they might just night. The room is not small but not spacious, however it’s the dimmest hotel room I’ve ever been to, to the extent that I almost went to buy a lamp to put in the room to brighten it up a little bit. I wouldn’t stay there again and wouldn’t recommend it.
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Terrible!

This is not a 4* hotel. I’d give it a 1. Breakfast buffet is no buffet. There’s hardly anything there. We’d have to go out to purchase breakfast even though we paid for room with breakfast. Service was absolutely horrendous. We asked for a rollaway bed but they refused and said there were none and asked me to pay 20 euros for an extra bed - not to mention the tiniest room in which an extra bed would be mean no walking space at all. I then called the manager myself who somehow managed to get the so called non existing rollaway bed into to my room. Note on hotels.com description, it’s mentioned you get free rollaway beds but all They want us to make money for everything. Wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all!
