Romance Istanbul Hotel

We stayed in this hotel on August 2023. Right from the very beginning, everything was wonderful. We received a warm welcome and were offered tea and Turkish delight upon our arrival. We also received recommendations for places and activities we could enjoy in Istanbul. The staff was friendly, the rooms were very nice and clean. The SPA facilities (pool and sauna) were complimentary, but remember to bring your own head caps from your room; otherwise, you'll need to purchase them. The breakfast was pleasant, although there wasn't an extensive selection, it was still very good. The hotel is definitely on the higher end of the price range, but it's worth it. The location is perfect for tourists as it's centrally located and close to main attractions.
