Royan Suites

The hotel I stayed at was Royan Suites Hagia Sophia. This is a different hotel from Royan Suites. If you are booking, you should be careful to pay attention to the name and book the correct hotel, the one that has Hagia Sophia after the name. The Royan Suites Hagia Sophia is a brand new hotel. It’s just a lovely hotel. The room was very nice and very comfortable. There was plenty of storage space for your clothes and a long sofa that came in handy for organizing my things. The room and the hotel facilities were very clean. The breakfast was wonderful. There was a lot of variety in both Turkish food and western food. They will prepare an omelette if you would like one. It was possible to get pretty much any coffee drink you want, just plain coffee, espresso, latte, cappuccinos and other coffee drinks, as well as tea. The location was great. It was 5 to 10 minutes walk from prime attractions like Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and Basilica Cistern. It was just a couple of blocks from the Bosphorous. There’s a sidewalk that runs alongside it and it makes for a really wonderful walk in the evening. And last, but certainly not least, the staff was great. They were friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure that I had a great day. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. .

Nice small size hotel, with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very tastefully decorated with Turkish paintings, good sized rooms (we had a room overlooking the street - worked out very well). Sparkling clean bathrooms. Water bottles in the room at no cost …little things that make a difference 😊. Elaborate lovely Turkish breakfast set us up well for the days! The best part was an absolutely amazing location in the heart of Sultanahmet, which made it walkable to the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque. We even walked across town to the Galata tower.

As the other hotel I stayed at was full, I booked at Royan Suites at the last minute, and boy I was not disappointed and wished I has stayed her the entire 4 days I was in Istanbul. The hotel staff (Gem, Ayesha and the rest) really made us feel comfortable. The hotel/rooms are modern, Internet is fast and the corridors smell fresh, the beds are comfortable and the basket of fruit in the room/coffee machine are perfect - this is surely going to be my hotel of choice when I visit next, and surely going to recommend to Family and Friends. Breakfast prepared by Ayesha is yummy and the presentation and freshness of the ingredients gets you perked to tackle the day ahead of you. The Location is central and walking distance to the main tourist attractions, the area is safe and even walking back at 1am was comfortable. A BIG THANK YOU to Royan Suites Team.

Our stay at the hotel was exceptional, thanks to the wonderful service. The staff always greeted us with a smile and went out of their way to assist with our trip. The breakfast spread was impressive, and we loved having snacks and coffee available throughout the day. We were especially grateful for the room upgrade to one with a beautiful sea view!

Excellent location. Very close to major attractions and the tram line. Lots of options for food and shopping near by. Very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms are spacious and clean. The locality is lively and there are lots of resturants and shopping close by. The hotel is around 10 mins walk from major attractions like the Blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand bazaar and Topkapi palace. It is also very close to the tram line which you can take to visit a lot of other places in Istanbul.
