Rotta Hotel Istanbul (Istanbul, Turkey)

The bathrooms are spotlessly clean and enormous. All of the amenities are modern. The showers emit strong currents of water. You can never go wrong with the designer toiletries and fluffy towels. Moreover, even high-quality loofahs are provided.

You are given free drinks upon arrival. The coffee shouldn’t be missed. The check-in process can be completed within five minutes. You don’t have to worry about arriving earlier than expected since the management allows you to use the rooms without an extra charge. Moreover, you can get free upgrades sometimes.

Retaj Royale Istanbul is ideal for those who want to relax after a long and tiring flight. You can have a rejuvenating massage at the spa or an invigorating swim at the pool. The surroundings are so tranquil; you will want to come back.

The room temperature is a bit unstable due to the air conditioners. Sometimes, they turn off automatically or emit weak currents of air. However, the staff fixes these kinds of problems immediately. If not, you are advised to ask for extra electric fans.

The staff in charge of room service does not instantly answer when you call. You have to make at least three calls for them to acknowledge your orders. Most of them cannot speak English well. Thus, it’s better if you avoid room service and store snacks at the minibar instead.

There are times when the airport shuttles do not arrive and go on time. Thus, you are advised to take the taxis if you have been waiting for more than thirty minutes. The rates are actually more affordable compared to those offered by the hotel.
