A great little hotel - go for a deluxe room for more space. Open fires, tea/coffee/water included. Library was marvellous and cosy. Great, traditional breakfasts from a small buffet. Hotel comes with helpful app with walking tour recommendations. 5 mins' walk to Blue Mosque and 10 mins' walk to Hagia Sofya. 30min's to Ataturk Airport by taxi. Free storage for day of checkout. Highly recommended!

I'd gifted myself a quiet weekend visit to the Hagia Sophia, and chose to stay at the Royan Hotel due to its ratings and its proximity to the site.
The hotel made contact before I arrived offering any assistance I needed, and agreed to the request I made.
Its exceptional customer service continued as the reception staff settled me into my room - with a lovely view of the Bosphorus and the Asian side.
I didn't mind getting lost around the floors and buildings that the hotel is spread over,...
