Best location for everything! Beautiful lobby helpful and smiling staff, nice breakfast selection.
There cannot be a better located hotel in Istanbul. It is also very beautiful with great service. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Very cozy hotel and friendly staff. The location is in the heart of fatih area, everything you would want is close by. I'm planning to stay at it in every visit to istanbul. Special thanks to Nebi, he helped a lot and was very polite and professional.
Neat hotel with a great location. Amazing staff, too!
Great location as it is close to the main sights of Istanbul. Staff are very helpfull and professional. Great breakfast and the rooms are great as well.
Great hotel in perfect location for a short trip to Istanbul. Lovely hotel perfectly located in the old town of Istanbul. Very clean and nicely decorated. Very friendly and helpful staff. We used the free bikes on our last day which was a great way to explore around even more! The only downside was the noise coming from outside as our room was on the street side.
I would have given 4.5 stars if that was an option. Very cozy hotel. Excellent location. Clean. Very friendly staff.
Some reviews had complaints about thin walls - that wasn't our experience at all. I could at times hear people (mostly housekeeping) outside my door. But never at night or early mornings, and not once did I hear other guests in their rooms. The street is pretty noisy due to location, but again, wasn't an issue for us as it gets pretty quiet at night.
Breakfast was decent, nothing amazingly delicious, but sufficient to last you thru lunch. They serve good coffee which is important to me.
Note that because of the location of the hotel there is no traffic allowed on the street between 6am and 8pm, so if you're arriving during the day you'll have to carry your bags for a couple blocks.
I gave 4 instead of 5 stars because: 1) breakfast could have used some variety, 2) guests pick-up from the taxi could have been arranged better (they sent 2 young girls to help us with our bags - I didn't have it in my heart to let a girl carry my oversized luggage uphill so I had to lug it myself), 3) there should have been a clear warning about the traffic situation; 4) lastly the lobby was over air-freshened
I really enjoyed it! It was super pretty
Wonderful location, super-friendly staff and a small personal hotel which is immaculately clean. It is in a car-free zone so the taxi to the hotel might need the telephone number to drop you nearby - the bell boy will come and fetch you for the short walk. There are loads of restaurants around serving wonderful local food. I will definitely be back for a spot of tourism and shopping. This is a happy place!
Boutique Saint Sophia Hotel is amazing. Good value. Great staff. Breakfast is tasty with local selection.
I was visiting for business and I stayed here only for one night, luckily I had a double upgrade to their highest room which was spacious and nice, the location of the hotel is remarkable next to Hagia Sophia, the staff was very friendly.
Only two points to mention, NO Bvlgari toiletries as they state in their description , ( there was a problem in importing ) and the breakfast wasn't buffet style (could be due to low season) otherwise worth trying.
A great location away from the noise and close to everything at the same time! Very friendly and helpful staff.
This beautiful hotel tucked away on the side of the Hagia Sophia is great value. You are central to most of the big attractions in Istanbul. The rooms are modern and the hotel decor is wonderful. The hotel staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel and I plan on coming back whenever I am in town.
The location is perfectly in the heart of SultanAhmet area just behind Aya Sophia . the hotel is small but very modern and the staff were really nice and accommodating especially Murat and Ramazan . they let us over stay 2 hours after checkout time because our flight was in the afternoon.
The central AC was not working and they put small electrical heater in our room which is fine but they could've been more honest about that since they said it will be fixed in the morning and did not work for the week we stayed there.
Their break fast is best even though it's 15 Euro per person.
Istanbul is beautiful city with too much to do and see .
