Very beautiful place to stay. In the heart of the historic city, close to all the popular places, many restaurants are located in a very short distance from the hotel. Rooftop is gorgeous! The staff is another great story. At the morning before I left the hotel I was surprised how the kind gentleman treated me - I missed my breakfast and he literally stopped me and proposed me to have a coffee with croissant, did not let me go hungry to the airport. I was glad to be their guest.

The hotel decorated with ancient Turkish artifacts and paintings, which proved a local tradition atmosphere. The balcony is wonderful, you can have a cup of tea and enjoy the sea view. The host is really kind, warm hearted, and friendly. When you have any questions, he will give you a help. The location is very very close to Sopia. You can approach it within 10 minute. Very clean and comfortable room. I would stay longer if I have time.

Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can go inside and explore both the colossal structure as well as its museum.

Queues, Queues and more queues. But worth it. Do not bother with the AR experience which costs an extra 1250 TL (£25) each. The entrance is roughly £25 to get in if you buy it at the ticket office, make sure you ask for the basic tour otherwise they include the AR experience as a default. Amazing mosaics and beautiful architecture.

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level.

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level. Previously you could get in on the ground floor and experience the wonderful open space of the huge dome above you. It is still possible to see some of the dome and the structure is very interesting but a slight disappointment. However , it is an amazing old structure. Small number of mosaics still visible. Better and more extensive mosaics at the Kariye Camii if mosaics are of interest.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

Oh, what a delight.

Oh, what a delight. I’m an open minded Christian so I appreciate such a wonderful and special place is still in place. You have to admitted if it wasn’t the Muslims it (probably) shared the fate of Acropolis. Is a wonder it does not crumble during times. Really. I was not able to take two straight pictures in a row, such a marvel of architecture is it, patch after patch. Is not the Pantheon, is not Basilica di San Pietro, but is still there. I also have to appreciate they respect the history and prior faith and do not cover part of the old (Christinas) paintings.

The history is stunning and the main room is beautiful as well as the mosaics. However, I was underwhelmed considering they now charge to go in and you cannot go on the main floor (a result of it being turned into a mosque). Also the carpet choice doesn't help with the overall site. I think the other mosques were better. Also, there are LONG queues to buy a ticket and then queues to go in. I would recommend going to the Hagia Sophia experience museum (across the Obelisk) and buy tickets there.

This hotel in Sultanahmet is within easy walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The rooms are clean with comfortable beds, plenty of hot water in the shower, a tea kettle and a mini refrigerator. An ample, varied, and delicious breakfast is served on the terrace each morning starting at 8:00. The staff is friendly and helpful, especially Atilla who works at the front desk during the day. I would definitely stay here again.

Hasan Bey at the restaurant will take care of your every need during breakfast. You get down from the hotel and you are literally at the Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia.

Great breakfast, very close to public transport (2 stops down to Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque) and comfy bed. Staff super helpful. Easy walk to restaurants, shops etc. It is a longer ride to get across the river to other areas due to traffic, but true of any hotel in this area. The hotel restaurant is great as well.

The room was clean and well decorated. The staff was excellent. Handled questions and concerns without hesitation. Talked with the owner during a marvelous breakfast on the top level that overlooked the river. She spoke English and chatted with us for quite awhile, wanting to know how we were doing, where we from and was very proud of her facility. We could walk to the major both the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia as well as the bazaars. I would return to this hotel when coming back to Istanbul.

The location of this hotel is the best part of the stay. It is just a 2–3 minute walk from the famous Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and about a 10-minute walk from the Grand Bazaar. There are many restaurants nearby, and the environment around the hotel is lively. The staff were very friendly and arranged all our activities, tours, and taxis. Breakfast was wonderful, and the rooftop restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the entire city. I would definitely plan to book this hotel again if I travel to Istanbul.
