The Golden Royal Hotel & Spa enjoys a superb location, just a short walk from the Grand Bazaar and with easy access to the Çemberlitaş tram station for exploring historic sites. Guests frequently mention the good breakfast options available until 10:30. The rooms are often described as clean and of a good size, though some guests have noted that the city view from certain rooms overlooks less appealing surroundings.

underwhelming stay, sadly

good locationpoor air conditioningnoise insulation
The location was alright, close to some attractions. I guess that's something.
The air conditioning barely worked. It kept switching off, even at night! it was really uncomfortable, and the staff couldn't seem to fix it. also, there was quite a bit of noise from outside and the hallway. I could hear cleaners and people in the next room. it wasn't relaxing at all.

the breakfast had a big variety and the beds were comfortable and clean.
The air conditioner had programming that turned off after a short interval, and it was very hot all night. the staff was not able to resolve it because it was programmed by the hotel. This was very unpleasant.

Solid hotel stay

central locationhelpful stafflate checkoutcobbled street
I was happy with the hotel location. It was near main attractions and tram station. Staff helped us a lot with our suitcases when checking. The hotel also helped us with a late checkout. It was much appreciated.
The hotel rooms are small. It is situated on a very busy cobbled street in the old town. This situation made transport harder.

The location presented an unbeatable access to popular historical sites. Many restaurants were available nearby. The staff seemed friendly, especially Yurus, Ersin and Abdurahman, I like it.
Air conditioning proved very poor, very inconsistent. Noise was present both from outside and from the floor. Pictures advertised showed a different reality when I saw the hotel, it feels too small.
