Royan Hotel Hagia Sophia, A Member Of Radisson Individuals, Istanbul

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The rooms were beautifully decorated with a lovely arty inner yard, meeting my expectations perfectly. They were not only clean but better than I had hoped for. The service provided by the staff, especially Aziz and Shams aldin, made me feel right at home. From arranging taxis to room service, all members of the team, including the cleaning ladies Amine and her friend, were exceptional. The location couldn't have been better, allowing me to easily explore all the main attractions within a short walking distance. The dining experience on the terrace overlooking the sea was truly spectacular, and the morning spread had plenty of delicious options to choose from.

The hotel offers spacious and well-designed rooms suitable for families, but the obstructive view to the sea can be a downside. The service is efficient and helpful, making the stay enjoyable. The location is perfect for exploring historical sites on foot, though some rooms might differ in views and sizes. The dining experience is exceptional, especially the Turkish and international cuisine served on a terrace overlooking the sea. Overall, a comfortable stay with minor drawbacks.

I had a fantastic stay at the hotel. The rooms had an obstructive view to the sea, making it really awesome, although a bit small. A highlight was the room with three beds placed together, which was slightly larger and very comfortable. The service was outstanding, with staff going out of their way to assist us, especially Aziz and Shams aldin, who were exceptionally hospitable and even guided us with a map to access nearby places. The location was exceptional, conveniently located for sightseeing and walking distance to famous attractions like Aya Sophia. However, the dining experience with a nice view on Bosporus was unparalleled, offering a wide variety of freshly prepared tasty Turkish and international food - the best dining I've ever had after years of international travel.
