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. The property is beautiful; breakfast was delicious; and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Luxury toiletries, comfy slippers and robes helped make it a great experience.

The st. Sophia hotel is in the beautiful old city area a walking distance to major tourist attractions. We were very pleased with the hotel service. The pickup from the airport was organized perfectly by the hotel. On the way back to the airport they called a taxi at 4:00 am & helped us with the luggage. There were 3 or 4 hotel workers in the lobby ready to help at 4am!!! Excellent service at st. Sophia hotel!!!

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.
