Location, you are a stone’s throw from the Hagia Soohia.Hotel staff were amazingly friendly. Greeted me with refreshing drink when I arrived to helping with bags to my room and the like. During my stay they were flexible with missing breakfast. Concierge desk were quite helpful with places to eat to local tourist spots. The room was clean. Staff always greeted with a smile.

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!!!
