Guest Reviews
- Katharine (8/5): - The accommodation was close to all famous places to visit. The hotel staff were attentive, pleasant and helpful. The accommodation was clean. The breakfast had a very good choice and was plentiful. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.
- Kim (10/5): - Literally EVERYTHING was better than 5 star
- Samuel (10/5): - Great hotel just minutes away from Hagia Sofia.
- Kishor (10/5): - Wonderful. Staff was very helpful.
- Mingxuan (10/5): - Great experience. Loved my time here. Would stay here again if I’m back in Istanbul.
- RAQUEL (10/5): - The staff were amazing. There tried to accommodate our requests as much as possible. They were very helpful. Although, our room was smaller, it sure was clean. The hotel was very aesthetic. The breakfast buffet with the view was phenomenal. Where do you find a breakfast buffet that serves fresh honeycomb? It was my first time to have been served that. The hotel is close to most tourist sites, very much walkable. You won't get hungry as there are many restaurants and stores nearby. No gym though, but, it's not a priority of ours to be at. Overall, a 5⭐️ for me.
- Maria Clara (10/5): - My stay at this hotel was absolutely excellent. From the very first moment, the staff’s attention was incredible—always friendly, attentive, and ready to help with anything. The cleanliness was spotless, with every detail carefully taken care of. The room was spacious, comfortable, and had everything needed for a perfect stay. The location is also ideal, close to everything important yet quiet enough to relax and enjoy. Truly a 10/10 experience—I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
- Arturo (10/5): - Very friendly staff even when I arrived after midnight. Very accommodating and helpful. Food was very good as well and location superb

I’ve stayed in lots of five star hotels around the world, including Istanbul and the service level was on top at this hotel. Last time we stayed in Istanbul we stayed at a different hotel which was supposedly five stars and the service and cleanliness was now here as good as the Royan Hotel. The location was shockingly close to Hagia Sophia (8 mins) and the local train station was very convenient. Every day the staff on the reception helped us choose good food locations and destinations to visit all the Personal touch of what they enjoyed. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel and if we want to stay in Sultanahmet again we will definitely be choosing this hotel. Can’t thank the hotel enough

They even went as far as helping me in matters nothing related to their hotel which I found amazing how kind each and everyone was. The room was kindly set up for our occasion and cleaned every day with all the amenities you need and more. Excellent location walking distance to every main attraction. I would happily book again and stay here. Thank you so much Royan Team you are brilliant see you very soon again! :)
- Derek (10/5): Great hotel - Very nice hotel in the wonderful city of Istanbul. Nice quiet location within a quick walk of lots of excellent bars and restaurant. Servet and Faith on reception were most kind and helpful. The room cleaning was excellent with a special mention to Merve who did an amazing job.
- Donella (10/5): - Good location and breakfast. Friendly staff.
- Mohammad (10/5): - Our stay here was truly amazing and was one of the highlights of our trip. The customer service was second to none, and the staff could not do enough for us. We had a swift and efficient check in and we were welcomed with traditional Turkish tea, and a kind, warm, homely service. I would like to thank the following staff for making our trip so special. Servet, Ferhat and Fatih provided exemplary service and they are a credit to the hotel. The cleanliness of the room was impeccable and just want to say a big thank you to Merve, especially for the beautiful swan arrangement! We look forward to coming back sometime!
- Linda (10/5): - It was our second visit. The staff was pleasant and inviting. The room was comfortable and it is easy to walk to many sights from there.
- Harold Landmark (10/5): - The staff were terrific. The hotel is in a great location, a short walk to major attractions. The area is safe and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The room is very small, but probably expected in the heart of old town. The breakfast was quite good with plenty of options. Only issue I had was some hairs on my clean towels, but I didn't raise a concern.
- Daniel (10/5): - We had a lovely stay here, it is in a really convenient location less than 10 minutes walk from several major attractions and the Sultanahmet tram station. The staff were really welcoming, and the breakfast was a highlight with so much to choose from. Would definitely stay again.
- Xavier (6/5): -
- heidi (10/5): - Great service , they help you with everything at reception , they gave me the up grade for my expedia level Great breakfast Near the to mosques ❤️
- chris (10/5): Top hotel - Hotel is in a fantastic location. Close to transport links, and landmarks, but in a quieter location. Staff were really attentive and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend.
- Lori Paige (10/5): - The location is great and the staff is wonderful. They have some great resources and I would recommend booking activities through them. The room is a little small, but we did not spend a lot of time in it because we were close to so much.
- Aniko (10/5): - Little quirky hotel in the heart of old town with all the shops, restaurants and transport options around. But the most important feature is the excellent staff, especially Fatih who helped us with all the sightseeing tips and was always willing to offer more. Everybody in the hotel was always very friendly and helpful and they couldn't do more for us. Loads of other nationalities and hotels could learn a lot from Turkish people. Of course trade is in their blood from centuries ago but their hospitality is second to none. Thank you Fatih and the rest of the team :)
- Rafael (10/5): - At first i was a bit disappointed as the street it is on is ugly. But the service and staff were amazing. Also it was very close to all the main attractions. Overall a good experience!
- Ibrahiem (10/5): - The staff made our stay special. We came for our honeymoon and couldn't be happier.
- Pamela (10/5): - Amazing stay and heartwarming, informative staff. They were so friendly and attentive. Thank you Royan for making our vacation a beautiful experience. Fatih is very informative and helpful, cleaning staff were always willing to assist in anyway necessary.
- Alyssa (10/5): - The hotel was walking distance from many attractions, making it very convenient. The staff were so kind, and helpful, and the breakfast options everyday were great. The hotel was very clean, and overall a fantastic experience staying there. Would absolutely recommend.
- Katarzyna (10/5): - Great staff, great location!
- Gaudy (10/5): Perfect Stay in Hagia Sophia Istanbul - Loved this location! Great front desk staff, very kind and helpful! Clean, cute, Cozy with a decent touch of modern and culture. Housekeeping staff was sweet and accommodating as well. I would stay here again and I would recommend to my family and friends when visiting Istanbul!
- Julie (10/5): - From the minute we booked, the hotel contacted us on WhatsApp to offer assistance with transportation from the airport which was well priced and helpful. It’s a good hour from the airport to downtown. The hotel has super clean and stylish rooms, really comfortable beds, aircon, plentiful fluffy towels, complimentary tea and coffee and safe in the room. They serve a wide ranging breakfast buffet selection to cater to guests of all nationalities in a dining room with sea facing terrace. Staff honestly could not be any more friendly and helpful. They can arrange transportation and excursions. The Bosphorus boat tour is a must, lovely way to see the city. By the way the hotel is in the lower part of Sultanahmet, 5 mins walk to the river walk, only slightly more up to the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and Blue Mosque and perfectly positioned to explore the city. I cannot single out any individual because so many people helped us and I can’t remember them all. Sincere good service in a lovely little boutique hotel. Highly recommended!!
- Stella Mary (10/5): - I have just returned from my 2nd visit to Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia in 6 months. For me this hotel is undeniably the best hotel in Sultanahmet From my arrival to departure I can say I was treated in such a friendly and professional manner by all staff. The hotel is immaculately clean, bedroom was so comfortable and the unlimited free tea was amazing. A couple of staff deserve a special mention; Merve (housekeeping) is such a friendly smiley girl who is so hardworking and serviced my room beautifully each day. I loved that she allowed me to practice what little Turkish I had with her. An absolute gem of an employee who carries her job out with the utmost professionalism Servet (reception) remembered me from my previous visit and was extremely welcoming when I met him. Loved that he would arrange for me to have Turkish tea with him before I retired to bed at night and our conversations are a memory I will treasure. He is just such a friendly gentleman and also the little touch of giving me a gift of Turkish tea to bring home was just precious. I honestly cannot waiting plan my return trip later this year and highly recommend this hotel if you are planning to visit Istanbul. Thank you, yet again, to all the team at Royan Hotwl Hagia Sophia for an unforgettable stay
- Mohammed R (10/5): - Excellent and we enjoyed.
- Zain (10/5): - All good. Staff good. Clean room. Fresh bedding and towels smell amazing everyday
- Megan (10/5): Great staff and an easy place to stay - My stay was a comedy of errors. But the staff was outstanding in assisting and making my stay very enjoyable. By the second day I was there I'm pretty sure they knew my name at the front desk just several things had been missed several things ahead to happened in the room but they were always very efficient and addressing the issues and getting it resolved would highly recommend staying there it was a beautiful hotel great staff and within walking distance of everything
- melike (10/5): - We felt home. Thank you for everything you have done for us.
- Danilo (10/5): - The staff is wonderful. Breakfast is excellent. Rooms are comfortable and clean. All the amenities are there. They really thought of every detail. This was probably the best hotel experience I had recently.
- Badder Ul-Islam (10/5): - The service was impeccable. Every step was taken to make sure our stay was comfortable.From Ebubakar,Serhat and the front desk team,Cidgem at breakfast time, Eda at the inhouse Brassiere Cisterna and their respective teams were all brilliant.Would reccommend highly and am already planning another stay at this gem of a hotel.
- BABAK (10/5): - It was a wonderful hotel ALL the staff were excellent but to name two Servet and Ferhat. Definitely would recommend to anyone coming to Istanbul they go way above to be sure you enjoy your visit.
- Linda Anne (10/5): - It was a fantastic hotel, every member of staff excellent, breakfast was amazing value and highly recommend. Perfect position for all the sites, and cannot recommend this hotel enough, will definitely have a return visit.
- Danita (10/5): - Very good location, staff helpful, breakfast exceptional.
- Jihad (8/5): - The small hotel is very nice. The location is excellent. The staff are more than wonderful. I had only one experience with one of the staff that wasn’t pleasant in the buffet breakfast other than that, it was a very nice experience
- Adil (10/5): - Very friendly and helpful staff, nice and clean
- Caroline Ann (10/5): - Just had a 5 night stay at this great little hotel. Perfect location for exploring all the sights. Staff were so helpful with trips and enquiries. Bed was really comfortable. Would definitely recommend
- Juliet (8/5): - The staff were very helpful .The rooms and hotel were very clean and quaint. The Kabab place across the street was fantastic , great food service and very helpful with directions
- Ramon (10/5): - .
- Jessica (10/5): - Lovely hotel and staff - close to all the popular tourist attractions by walking. Be mindful when eating out in the area as you'll pay triple the price (tourist prices) as you move through the city the food quality gets better and you begin to pay less inflated prices. I would stay here again as they are truly amazing and go out of their way to support you and any questions you have.
- James (10/5): - Very good and helpful staff. Took time to introduce us to Istanbul and make recommendations. Good location within easy walking distance of all the sights. Great breakfast variety on a beautiful terrace with great views of the Marmara Sea.
- Stella Mary (10/5): - Excellent hotel, super friendly and efficient staff. The hotel was very clean and comfortable, central for all tourist attractions and transportation to other areas of Istanbul. Cannot praise the staff enough for all their help. A must for your stay in Istanbul
- Kyungmin (10/5): - It is very close to the blue most and Ayasofya Yet a bit distanced from all the busy area so feels more safe and quiet The staffs were very friendly and room was basic but clean and well maintained
- Seikyee (10/5): - Front desk staff super helpful. Guided us the ins/outs of the city.
- Firouzeh (10/5): - The members are really fantastic and helpful specially Servet, Fatih, Boric, Ardo they are very nice and friendly. And for housekeeping the nice and friendly and wonderful her name is songul. Hopefully I write them name correctly. Thank you again Regard Firoozeh
- Fred (10/5): - Great friendly staff at the hotel and very helpful with local advice. Slight disappointment with the suggested English tour guide who was late and spoke very limited English. We knew the tour guide was just driving us from site to site and he was friendly enough but was hoping for a more local perspective.
- Oleg (10/5): - Wonderful staff and service. Great location
- Amelia (10/5): - Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia is a beautiful hotel, close to the main attractions, tastefully decorated, impeccably clean, soft beds, spacious rooms, with all the amenities you would want or need. What sets it over the top, however, is the outstanding staff that provides warm hospitality and genuine customer service. We were treated with the utmost care and attention to details for our entire stay. The staff went over and above to make us feel at home. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Istanbul!
- Maria (10/5): - Everyone in the hotel was really nice.
- Lalitha (10/5): - Its in perfect walking distance to all attractions and close to train station as well. Very well appointed rooms and bathroom and very clean. Highly recommend this hotel
- Jerome (8/5): - Good hotel with great staff. Booked the Hammam Suite but this is just a slightly larger room with a fake Hammam area in the shower.
- Bengiamin (10/5): - Wonderful, friendly staff. It is a small hotel with no gym, but a lovely breakfast area with balcony and Bosphorus view. The location can’t be beat for sightseeing in Istanbul; both walkable and public Tran’s accessible.

- Shafique (2/5): - The check-in staff member named Rauf was extremely rude and unprofessional from the moment we arrived. His sarcastic remarks and lack of empathy were highly disappointing and not indicative of the service I expected from your establishment. Here are the specific issues we encountered: Upon our arrival, I mentioned to Rauf that I was tired and would like to check in as per my hotel confirmation. Instead of assisting us in a courteous manner, he sarcastically replied that he was tired too. This response was entirely unprofessional and uncalled for. Despite having made a booking request for an early check-in six weeks in advance, Rauf refused to accommodate this request. Furthermore, he denied us internet access while we waited until the 2 PM check-in time, forcing us to purchase separate internet access. This was both inconvenient and unacceptable. The room provided to us was situated near a bread-making business that operated throughout the night. The noise made it very challenging to sleep peacefully and significantly impacted our stay. Rauf's behavior and the lack of consideration for our booking requests and comfort were unacceptable. This experience has greatly affected my perception of the hotel, and I hope immediate action is taken to address these issues.
- SEPIDEH (10/5): - We will back 29 july
- Sina (10/5): - The staff at the Royan Hotel were amazing, our luggage was lost during our connecting flight and the staff were very helpful making multiple phone calls and following up till they got our luggage to us. They always have a smile on their face and love to help you anyway they can. Amazing time at the Royan!
- mohammed (8/5): - There breakfast the need to updgrade
- Nauman (10/5): - Proximity to major attractions
- Mukesh (10/5): - Just returned from a four day stay at this lovely hotel. Perfect location and super friendly staff who couldn’t do enough to help. I had fractured my metatarsal a week before going, not ideal but the team at the hotel facilitated all my requirements at very short notice. All major attractions walkable and the nearby train connects to the Metro.
- Barbara (10/5): - Welcoming, friendly staff. There is a hill at one of the entrances so if someone has balance challenges you need to be aware.
- Margaret (10/5): - Lovely hotel in a very good location for Old Town visit. Super breakfast on Terrace. Kind and helpful staff.
- Zaara Jabeen (10/5): - Service was really good, breakfast was great. Staff were very helpful. The area was the best thing as it was near the tourist attractions and near the tram station at sultanahmet. Only thing i would say that could be improved is the room size, I booked a superior room and it seemed a regular room and the area outside was quite noisy. Other than that my stay was great.
- Nighat (10/5): - Charming, boutique hotel in a very convenient location, super close to the main landmarks of Hagia Sophia, blue mosque and Topkapi palace. The staff at Royan hotel were extremely friendly and helpful from the second we arrived, to the last minute we left. Fatih at reception guided us with routes and maps for excursions and how to get around Istanbul especially as it was our first visit to the city. No question was any trouble for him and he greeted us with a smile every morning and evening. The supervisor/manager Serwet was equally helpful and very kind. We appreciated the kind gesture of a parting Turkish gift. Everyone working at the hotel were hospitable including the cleaner Songu and the breakfast staff. Osman in particular gave us the perfect eggs every morning with a smile! Nothing was too much trouble. The hotel was extremely clean, well managed, beautifully designed and decorated and the facilities were of a very good quality. The rooftop breakfast was amazing especially with the sea view and the choice of foods was good. Only minor negative point we would suggest to not waste so much paper with the cutlery in paper envelopes and used for menus - could there be a more environmentally friendly option? Perhaps the salt/pepper could also be labelled. Overall, the hotel was full of character, the place and people were wonderful and we would highly recommend Royan hotel to anyone seeking a comfortable, safe, clean and friendly stay in the heart of Sultanahmet Istanbul.
- Ajaz (10/5): - Staff were really helpful, very polite and displayed exemplary customer service. Would definitely stay here again.
- Ahamed Alrajhi (6/5): - Nice property if you just need somewhere to sleep and plan to be out all day. Unfortunately the rooms are very small making it a but difficult to manoeuvre with two people. Staff were good. Room service ends at 10pm which is a shame as it is very early
