Diamond Royal Hotel

Convenient location to all centered located sights like Blue mosque, Aya Sofia, spice market, Grand bazaar, bus stop from/to Istanbul new airport, Bosphorus tours starting points, all sights in a 10 min walking distance. Few minutes walking to tram no1 and Marmaray Sirkeci train station. It's in a quiet street. Staff was polite.

Soundproof's terrible, you can hear every noise from the next room and the moving form the room above. I can feel the smell from the kitchen in the morning even my room was on a 5th floor and the kitchen was in the basement. The sauna and Turkish bath were not working continuously, even when I announce a visit to the sauna was cold.

ease in which to walk around in the city

better english speaking. too loud outside. difficult to fall asleep given outside noise

Walking distance from train station, mini grocery, salon, resto. Affordable.

Same variety of food for brekky. They don’t provide tissue from the day we checked in. Water leakage from our bathroom all the way to the lobby. So, we need to move to the other room by the next day. Our room was not clean from the day before we checked out. Expect! Once you check in on these hotel you will feel some comfort but expect also the creepy sounds from the floor came from the other room next to you. And you will feel the floor was not too strong enough and you will feel some crazy stuff that anytime the floor will collapse. If your planning to stay with your family specially If your carrying a baby you need to bring your own baby bed coz! They don’t provide at all. And you need to carry your own baby trolly all the way down to the stairs to reach the lift.

I liked the location and the staff

We requested double bed but we ended up with 2 single beds joined together and not comfortable
