Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia, a member of Radisson Individuals

Located a short walk to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace. Great Breakfast buffet. Close to lots of restaurants…our favorite, Palatium Cafe.

Booked for my parents, as it was my mom's birthday. They sang her happy birthday and gave her a cake, as well as a gift. It was so thoughtful and nice. Breakfast great and great location.

AMAZING. Let's start off with that. I stayed her as a solo female traveler during my post surgery recovery and it was wonderful! I truly felt taken care of. I booked for a basic standard room and on the day of, I was surprised that they gave me a complimentary upgraded room (a mini studio) on their 6th floor with a good view instead. The room was really nice and modern, had ample space and super clean! They were so accommodating of my post surgery recovery that they gave me a room that was away from the noise and had a lot of privacy as there was only 1 other room on the floor. Perfect for my stay, I loved every bit of the room! The room also had a complimentary fruit plate waiting for me, what a nice finishing touch! The location of this hotel is conveniently located and only a short 7 min walk to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Arasta Bazaar, and surrounded by a lot of restaurants and shops. It's a slightly busy area so you'll feel safe here if you're a solo traveler. The breakfast buffet has a decent spread and you can have breakfast on their terrace/rooftop with a good view of the sea! Really picturesque! Also, the menu for the food room service is good! Lastly, the staff knew I was going through post surgery recovery and were so incredibly nice, helpful and accommodating to my needs the entire time, some of them even went above and beyond such as providing me with complimentary herbal tea that would help with my swelling, really fast food room service, provided me with complimentary turkish coffee and tea while waiting at the lobby etc. Overall, I had a really great experience staying here! Highly recommend.

This place is underrated; I wish we stayed longer. From the moment we walked in from the wrong side of the hotel the wonderful receptionist (I lost her name card - I think she was Cigdem)gave us a warm welcome. Ferhat then took over, what a welcome. Everyone at the main reception was amazing. Specially the chap that offered tips on what’s not to do and what we should do. The beds were comfortable; room was cleaned everyday: the breakfast view was wonderful. The location of the hotel is the cherry on Top. It’s an easy walk to all the tourist sites and the sea. Fantastic options of restaurants, cafes and spas. The owner Fatih is a true leader that lives by example. He was extremely helpful to us even offered a free luggage. We went to Istanbul for our wedding anniversary. We received a beautiful present coffee cups set. This will be our goto place next time we are in Istanbul. A big thank you to all the amazing staff at the hotel.

Hotel was excellent with the service it provided. Reception staff were very helpful with advice on transport and places to visit. Provided maps and advised on the different mode of transport to available. A special thanks to Fatih and Ferhat who were always willing to help. The breakfast was good with a lot of choices and restaurant staff were very attentive. Hotel was very clean. Would highly recommend staying here. Only drawback is the streets are quite steep in some areas by the hotel. This would be a struggle for someone with mobility issues or a wheelchair user. Lots of places to eat nearby.
