We have only returned from Istanbul yesterday, so the experience is fresh in my mind. I, my husband and our 2 year old daughter stayed in this hotel for 3 nights. Firstly, the pictures you see are very deceptive. The Hotel is in one corner and there is massive construction site right beside it. On our entry we were well... More

This spa was recommended for a Turkish bath as the location we originally considered was booked. It was very interesting to say the least. First off, we were told that we would receive a 10% off discount due to the referral. We also had a discount card stating this. When we checked with the front desk, they explained the list... More

The location of the hotel from the main tourist spots is probably the best that I can say about this hotel. The first room that they sent me to was in a corner, no window, very small and smelled like someone had just smoked a pack of cigarettes in it. The unfriendly man working the counter advised that there was... More

The Orka Royal Hotel is listed as a 4-star hotel, but if you look at the price per night, you cannot except 4 star quality. The overal appearance and hotel rooms are dated - a bit like the 80's. Rooms are not large, but do have free wifi, minibar and TV. Beds are comfortable. The service is average, but there... More

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights at the hotel. The room was decent, but they didn't have proper blockout curtains so the room was bright when the sun is out. Bathroom was a bit small for my liking, but ok. The bed was very comfortable, so that was good. However, the staff was really crap. Apart from two... More

The hotel is clean, but it looks old fashioned, dark, and tired. Being a 4-star, I would have expected coffee/tea facilities in the room, as well as an iron & board - as in the many other 4-star hotels I've visited before. Good, plentiful buffet breakfast, but the coffee and juices are awful - tasteless and watered-down. My husband and... More

Hotel very central in the old city. Room was good only thing no tea coffe facilities. The main problem was that they are building an underground station beside the hotel. The noise is constant 24hrs a day with cement lorries passing hotel at all times. Once the building work is complete the hotel will be great for tourists to this... More
