My stay at Sozbir Royal Residence Hotel was truly nice, thanks to the stunning views of the Bosphorus and the friendly staff. However, I was disappointed to find that some room facilities, like the Jacuzzi, were not working. The breakfast was decent, but I was hoping for a bit more variety. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, especially given the hotel's fantastic location.

The hotel's location is superb! Right on the banks of the Bosphorus, it's just a short walk to the ferry and metro. This made exploring both sides of Istanbul extremely convenient.

Breakfast was varied and tasty, but nothing extraordinary. I appreciated the homegrown organic fruits, but I hoped for a more exciting menu overall.

The hotel offered basic facilities, including an outdoor pool with a view. However, I would caution future guests not to be fooled by the pool pictures; it was not in use during my stay.

I had a good stay at the Sozbir Royal Residence Hotel, especially enjoying the amazing views of the Bosphorus from my room. However, I did encounter some issues with the facilities, as the Wi-Fi was patchy and the routine cleaning didn’t meet my expectations. Despite these drawbacks, the superb location and friendly staff made up for a lot. ☀️🌊

The views from my room at Sozbir Royal Residence were absolutely stunning, overlooking the Bosphorus. However, the layout of the hotel is quite strange, making it a hassle to navigate between lifts and stairs. I also found the breakfast options limited and not worth the price considering the delicious food available nearby.

Rooms

While I enjoyed the beautiful terrace for breakfast, the food itself was quite overpriced for what it offered. There are much better local options nearby, like Kanaat lokantasi, which offered more authentic flavors at lower prices.
