“A Wonderful Stay in Istanbul”

In May 2026, we stayed at the Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia Istanbul. The hotel was absolutely fantastic — we really loved it! It’s located in the Sultanahmet area, close to the main attractions (the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, etc.), while still being on a quiet street, so there’s no noise in the evenings. When we checked in, we were given a complimentary room upgrade: instead of a standard room, we got a triple room, which was, of course, a very pleasant surprise. The rooms are beautiful and modern ☺️ The only small issue we had was that the first time we turned on the water, there was a slight leak under the sink, but it never happened again, so we didn’t bother contacting reception. The hotel has a really cool inner courtyard with street art. There are also unusual passageways connecting the building where you stay, the dining area, and the lobby — the first time, you can easily get lost (one woman even called it a labyrinth 😁), but by the second time you already remember where everything is, and honestly, it makes the experience even more interesting. All the staff members are true professionals — very polite and competent. We especially remember Servet at the reception desk: very pleasant, friendly, and he even studied in Moscow, so he speaks some Russian. We’d also like to mention the restaurant ☕ The breakfasts were delicious, and the terrace view is stunning! We also had lunch once at the restaurant on the ground floor — as we understood it, this place used to be a cistern (similar to the Basilica Cistern or the Theodosius Cistern), and it’s a beautiful location. We didn’t have much time for lunch because it was time to head to the airport, so we needed to eat quickly. A staff member named Muammer helped organize everything perfectly, and he’s also a very charismatic person. We appreciated not only his work in the restaurant, but also during breakfast service — very dedicated and responsible! A huge thank you to the hotel for such a wonderful stay! We would be happy to come back again 🧡

“Beautiful slice of paradise in old Istanbul”

Such a pleasant experience in all aspects. Can we give a special nod to Muammer who brought joy each morning when we had the delicious breakfast?

“Maxim ( Cyprus)”

The location is not so easy to reach - it's somewhere deep inside Sultanahmet Area - not easy neither for taxi drivers and not by walk as well at evening time. Next : the rooms are small but equipped and renovated perfectly . View to the Marmara Sea is nice. The staff is really amazing and honestly… more

The location is not so easy to reach - it's somewhere deep inside Sultanahmet Area - not easy neither for taxi drivers and not by walk as well at evening time. Next : the rooms are small but equipped and renovated perfectly . View to the Marmara Sea is nice. The staff is really amazing and honestly tried to helped in all aspects. The breakfast a bit disappointed : some spoiled cherries and the blackberry even with mold - this is inappropriate . And the variety of Jams or marmalade must be much wider as only few types of very very sweet types of jam were presented. The hot dishes were good and tasty including the fresh omelette on request. The verdict is : its small hotel deep inside of Sultanahmet within 10 minutes walk to the Square of 2 main Mosks ( Blue and Hagya Sophia ). But its not suitable for those demanding persons who like the true luxury .
