    5.0

    The rooftop terrace offers a fantastic view, perfect for taking a break after a day of exploring. The unique architecture immerses you in the local historical vibe, making it feel like you’re living in a piece of the past.

    Room sizes can be a bit cramped, impacting comfort on longer stays. I heard complaints about that from others. The bathrooms need some serious upgrades, with plumbing issues and poor water pressure being common themes in multiple rooms. Breakfast offers a true local flavor, but it could use more variety beyond the limited traditional fare. sound insulation is lacking. noise travels easily from adjacent rooms and the hallway, which might keep you from getting some rest.

    ideal location
    friendly staff
    delicious meals
    poor lighting

    Had an amazing time with my friends! The location was perfect for exploring the nearby historic sites, including the stunning Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. The staff was super friendly, making us feel welcomed. We also enjoyed delicious meals at the hotel. Ideal for travelers looking to explore the area without breaking the bank.

    One downside was the poor lighting in our room, which made it hard to relax comfortably in the evenings.

    The team provided exceptional hospitality , especially from the manager. The location is ideal, just a short walk to major attractions including the famous Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. I enjoyed the delightful city view from my room , which added to my experience.

    delicious breakfast
    limited lighting
    lack of storage
    minor drawbacks

    The warm welcome and genuine hospitality created a pleasant atmosphere throughout my stay. A standout feature was the breakfast, offering a delightful mix of Mediterranean flavors and local cold cuts, catering well to dietary restrictions. the room could have benefited from improved lighting and more storage space, which were somewhat lacking. Despite these minor drawbacks, the location allowed easy access to key historical sites, making it a convenient choice for exploration.

    Exceptional Experience with a Wonderful Breakfast

    I had an unforgettable time during my stay. The central location was fantastic, making it easy to explore all the iconic sights of the city. My room was not only spacious and immaculate but also had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Each morning, the breakfast was a feast with a wide variety of fresh and delicious options—truly a highlight! I can't wait to return for another adventure, although a bit more variety on the breakfast menu would be delightful.

    smaller room

    We had a lovely experience here! The breakfast was varied and delicious, and I loved how my room was cleaned daily with fresh towels. we found the Luxury Quadruple Room was slightly smaller than what we expected based on the photos. I'd totally stay here again!

    Ayasofya provided an exceptional experience with its historical atmosphere and modern amenities. The location is prime, allowing easy access to key attractions. The room was impeccably clean with a wonderful view that enhanced my mornings. Their business center and 24-hour room service were quite useful during my stay, while the terrace served delicious food with a stunning view, making it perfect for relaxation after a busy day.

    The bathroom could use some upgrades for better plumbing.
