Great location - to all the major attractions. Breakfast was very good. Only minor drawback was that the AC didn’t cool the room as much as we would have liked. It was alright but our location on the top floor closet to the roof may have posed more of a challenge for the central AC system.

Staff were very helpful from booking to giving directions and ideas were to visit, also offered a personal guide to show you around for around €200 cash for the day and Taxi to the airport €75 cash approximately.

the breakfast menu was excellent. Good choices and made to order. The staff was super, the location could not have been better - quick walk to sites i.e. Cistern entrance across the street, Galhane gardens a block away. Two tram sites 100 yards, St. Sophia practically in the hotel's back yard. Cars don't go directly to hotel as its on historical site but they drop or pick up about 50 yards away. We took Tram ride from Galata port to hotel. About $1.50.

My wife and I stayed here while visiting Turkey recently. Booked this place because it had great reviews and was close to the things we wanted to see while there. Not easy to find because there are at least three hotels close by that are called Sophia something. Of course we went to the two others first lol. It's entrance is just off the street so is easy to miss initially. It has a nice coffee shop that is well priced in the lobby area. It is very clean and decently spacey rooms. You can actually link your Netflix account and watch some English TV here. None of the many other hotels we stayed at while in Turkey have this yet. BIG plus for that, in my opinion. Walking distance to all sorts of cool stuff. I think this area is the BEST in Istanbul. Shopping and restaurants galore. The ones closest to the hotel will be more expensive than if you just walk up the hill a bit so definitely worth walking. There will be no shortage of people trying to get you to com e to their stores when you are walking around, even though their store is not right there. The Grand Bazaar is about a 10-12 min walk up the hill. We went there last but would recommend that you go there first instead because prices seem better there than the same fancier shops closer to the hotel. Hotel staff are excellent!! Can't say enough here. Would highly recommend that you stay here. Very good value for the money. ***IF YOU FOUND THIS REVIEW HELPFUL PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND INDICATE SO***

The hotel is literally right next to the Hagia Sophia, opposite the Basilica Cistern and only five mins walk to the Blue Mosque, 5-8 mins to the Grand Bazaar. Absolutely endless choice of cafes, restaurants and gift shops. Tram Stop at Sultanahmet is five mins walk with frequent trams into the city. So, quite the historic and tourist centre.

I had a deluxe room at the rear of the hotel which had a brilliant view of the Hagia Sophia and quiet; you get the call to prayer five times which lasts for about five minutes.

The quality of the hotel is very good. Very helpful staff. Very enjoyable traditional Turkish Breakfast.

Difficult to get to from the international airport by public transport (but I did it and quite an experience in itself) but a cheap and good alternative is to get the Havaist bus to Sultanahmet (TRY 315).

So, a great place to stay for a trip, especially a first trip, to Istanbul!

Hotel was in a great location right by the main attractions in Old Town. Rooms were nice but the bathroom door was sheer and so the light poured into the entire room. And the shower door would not close fully so water got everywhere. Since taxis can’t come down direct to the hotel, it was somewhat confusing for some drivers, but a quick 3 minute walk to another stop was no issue. Staff was extremely attentive though and very helpful.

We stayed four nights at this property. The location is very good, but difficult to find. Although breakfast was included in our reservation, the hotel tried to pull a fast one first, but accepted when shown the reservation details. Breakfast was good, but the choices become stale if staying for four nights, especially because there is not much choice for vegetarians. The dining staff was very good. The front desk was most interested in selling tours, but not in providing advice on good tour guides. Finally, and this was upsetting: we did not get our VIP Gold benefits at this property.

The staff is amazing...and the location cannot be beat. Keep in mind that this location is inside the UNESCO zone...so no car traffic...which is great, but it takes a little effort to check-in. Having said that, the front desk staffed WALKED over to where my cab dropped me off, and rolled my bag back to the location. Great service! The free breakfast was over-the-top good. It's an older boutique hotel...so keep that in mind. But now that I'm not doing business travel much, I steer away from large brands.

Good Location, but Hotel Could Improve

The hotel is well located. The breakfast is excellent and the staff and friendly and helpful. However, the recommended restaurants are not very good, there was no or limited hot water and the local taxis booked by the hotel are not always reliable. I had one especially bad experience with a taxi driver who did not know where he was going and ended up charging more than double what he had quoted. I travel a lot internationally (every few weeks) and stay in many hotels all over the world. For a boutique hotel, the St. Sophia is good, but still needs considerable work to be great. If location is what you desire, then a great choice. Otherwise, there may be better value propositions elsewhere.

Coffee was good and they provided plenty of water, which was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Bedroom slippers were good too. They provided bath towels and hand towels but I do wish face towels were provided too. I also found the shower floor a bit slippery.

Fantastic location. Great referral to a guide!

The location in the old city made it a great choice. With a 5-minute walk to the Hagia Sophia, we were thrilled with its convenience. The room was spacious and comfortable for two friends to share. What added to the experience was the tour guide the hotel arranged for us to do a private tour. Not only did he know his stuff, turns out he trained many of the guides running group tours. I doubt we would have found such an exceptional guide on our own.

Excellent Location, Cramped Accomodations

The hotel's location is superb, the staff is terrific and the breakfast is excellent. However the rooms are very small and the showers are awkward and very slippery. We were unable to unpack our suitcases due to lack of space. If you are staying for 2 or 3 days, you will be fine. A shout out to the staff for arranging tours and assisting with logistics, as the hotel is in a no-drive zone. Have your taxi call the hotel and they will have someone meet you at the drop off to take you and your bags to the hotel.

The hotel is located in the best possible area of Istanbul but precisely because of how touristy it is and its proximity to several mosques that call for prayer 5 times a day don’t expect it to be quiet for sleeping.

We arrived all way from US just to find out that they put us in a different hotel 10 minutes away. We picked this hotel to be walking distance to Hagia Sophia. We were very disappointed as it appeared it maybe hotel practice to get guests in that location and then “upgrade them to better room further away”. Be aware that if you book this hotel, you may actually stay someplace else.

Highly recommended for anyone visiting the old town in Istanbul. The hotel is really near the main sights like the basilica, blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, and notable streets with many dining options. It is also walkable to the grand bazaar and Egyptian bazaar, which makes it great for those that would like to travel and sightsee on foot. Otherwise, trams and taxis are also available, and can take you across to the new town easily.

Would like to give a big shoutout to the staff in the hotel, everyone was really welcoming and friendly. We had breakfast there for our last day and the spread was a delight.

5 stars for us and happy to have stayed there :)

I m really pleased with their customer service. I landed in the morning, and they were happy to check me in without any additional charges. When inquired about food place at 4am, the staff literally came with breakfast platter when the kitchen was closed. Reception staffs go extra mile to look after their guests. Even 2 of staffs helped my wife with the luggage and walked to the taxi parking area, as taxis can’t come to the reception area (500 m). I stayed there only for 2 nights, as I had medical appointment, but I wish I could stay there for longer.

A charming Boutique Hotel

A charming boutique hotel with an amazing location. Friendly and helpful staff. Check in was a breeze. The room was comfortable, modern and clean. It is a stone’s throw from the Haghia Sophia. It is steps away from many sights. Situated right on a tram line (but not bothered by noise) connections to Istanbul’s excellent public transportation are a breeze. I highly recommend it and hope to return soon

Way beyond expectations

Amazing! The staff was all super friendly and abundantly helpful beyond any expectation even walking me to a museum to help make sure I got there before they closed. The location is amazing being less than 100 meters from Hagia Sophia and almost all of the other historical sites are within a short walk.

I don’t know if it gets any better. The unobstructed view of the Hagia Sofia makes the experience completely magical.

A cosy place amidst history!

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay here. When we arrived i was not quite sure how it would be as the entrance was very basic. However staff went above and beyond with service.
Breakfast was amazing and so much choice!
The rooms were cosy and always cleaned well.
The only drawback was that taxis were not allowed in the area as it is a UNESCO heritage site. However after the first day we got used to the idea and it truly isca beautiful historical location.

This is a wonderful hotel located right in the centre of the Old City. The Hagia Sophia is right next to the hotel and many of the central attractions are within walking distance. There is also a tram stop located a short distance from the hotel.

The rooms are clean, stylish and comfortable. Lovely bathrooms with hot water. I had a really great night sleep here.

I would suggest having the Turkish breakfast in the morning - a lot of food and all of it tasty, it will set you up for the day. The hotel also offers tea and treats in the afternoon - recommended!

The staff were all very friendly and helpful, assisting with luggage, explaining how to use public transport or helping you book a tour.

I would stay here again, this hotel had a very warm and friendly feel to it.

The staff was great, always helpful with a smile, never make you feel like you are inconveniencing them, felt welcomed, although at some points we had an understandable language barrier, but the message and jokes were communicated easily

Reception open 24 hours

If you don’t have an itinerary like my wife and I, feel free to ask at the reception, we did almost all the recommendations from private tour, spa, boat cruises and restaurants during our four night stay

They also have a lovely breakfast
