- Albina (8/5): Die Erwartung war größer als die Realität - Bettwäsche und Handtücher hatten ein wunderbares Aroma. Die Matratze und die Kissen sind bequem. Tolles Frühstück mit einer Speisekarte. Ausgezeichneter Service von einem Mann namens Ramazan 🫶🏻 Leider gab es keine tolle Aussicht von meinem Zimmer, es war auch ein bisschen laut. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht gut.
- sumiya (8/5): Great stay! - Location, breakfast, and staff were helpful and polite. Really quite considering on main road and tourist area. Local to most attractions and boutique shops and restaurants.

- Nicola (8/5): We completely enjoyed our visit. - Excellent location close to all the historical sites and nice street cats. The Hagia Sophia was right outside my window! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The entrance was a bit awkward for people with mobility problems. It’s not possible to get a taxi direct to the door as the street is closed to cars.
- Meriem (10/5): -
- Chara (10/5): - Η τοποθεσία είναι πολυ βολική, ακριβώς δίπλα απο την Αγία Σοφία και πολυ κοντά στα περισσότερα σημεία ενδιαφέροντος. Το κρεβατι πολυ άνετο και υπήρχε ησυχία. Το προσωπικό ηταν πολυ εξυπηρετικό και 24/7. Το πρωινό ηταν φανταστικό, σερβιριστο, όχι μπουφες.
- Guest (8/5): -

- Δημου (7/5): Όλα ευχάριστα - Η τοποθεσία και φυσικά το προσωπικό ήταν άριστα. Η φθορά του καταλύματος έχει αρχίσει να γίνεται εμφανής. Ο εξοπλισμός θέλει ανακαίνιση
- Hilal (10/5): -
- CARLO (10/5): -
- angelina (7/5): Amazing location, amazing staff, facilities in bad shape. - The location is great, but the best thing was the staff. They were incredibly nice. It’s run down. It needs some serious maintenance/renovation.
- Florence (9/5): - Very well located, close to all the main things to see in the center. Breakfast was great. Lots of restaurants nearby. Quite noisy, bring your earplugs (tramways right under the window)
- Con (8/5): The Staff were excellent and welcoming. The location was ideal to visit all Historic places. - The Staff were excellent and welcoming. The location was ideal to visit all Historic places. The Hotel was excellent for meals and social drinks. It was a great couple of days for our stopover before returning to Ireland. Would highly recommend this hotel. Cannot think of any further improvements
- Monika (10/5): Amazing people in the hotel! - The staff in this hotel is incredible!!!! Thank you guys for everything! Beautiful, clean and very comfortable hotel. Great breakfast and coffe. The hotel is next door to Haga Sophia, Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern. It was a pleasure to stay there.
- Mohammed (10/5): Perfect stay in the most iconic location of Istanbul, overlooking Hagia Sophia and being in the heart of the tourist cit - The location, breakfast and exclusive nature of the hotel were appreciated. Nothing in particular.
- Rune (10/5): - Sentralt Litt dyrt
- Raul (10/5): - Todo genial
- Abdel Monem (10/5): -
- Louis (10/5): -
- Chen I Fan (10/5): - 絕佳的位置，可以近距離的欣賞聖索非亞大教堂，不過如果帶太重的行李，因為飯店在景點交通的禁區內，不能開車進去，所以要走一段路。大約100公尺左右。不過這換到了絕佳的風景，以及可以第一位走進地下水宮殿的機會 。絕對完全值得。 多走50公尺就可以同時看到 聖索非亞大教堂以及藍色清真寺 。 而且飯店會提供WhatsApp的通訊 非常的及時也非常方便 落地窗的高度比較低 沒有注意到可能會撞到頭 要小心 馬桶的水壓比較低一點，要多沖幾次。除此之外，真的沒什麼好抱怨的。 ：）
- ALAIN (10/5): Ne pas hesiter choisir le quartier de Sultanahmet et l'hôtel Saint Sophia vous serez conquis. - L'emplacement idéal, l'hotel est voisin quasi immédiat de la Mosquée Sainte Sophie, tous les autres grands sites, mosquée bleue, les citernes basiliques,le domaine topkapi, le grand Bazar sont accessibles à pieds en moins de 10 minutes, un trajet à peine plus long permet, en traversant un parc magnifique d'atteindre les rives du Bosphore. Le personnel de l'hôtel est chaleureux, et serviable on se snt bien dans cet hôtel. Super petits déjeuners complets, là encore le personnel est en permanence à notre service. Rien, si ce n'est le réveil chaque matin juste avant 6h00 par l'appel à la prière, mais je pense que l'hôtel ne peut rien y faire..... (LOL)
- Pascal (9/5): -
- David (10/5): Great situation, very helpful staff - It met all of our expectations Nothing
- Serik (10/5): - Очень приветливый персонал! Оказывал помощь по всем вопросам! Замечательная локация, рядом основные достопримечательности! Такси не под'езжает к отелю около 100 метров, при приезде и от'езде лучше позвонить в отель, сотрудники помогут.
- Efraim (10/5): - The location and the staff of the hotel, friendlly and helpfull.
- Elena (6/5): - Close to attractions, clean room, staff was friendly. Room need renovation. The bathroom door didn't close completely because of baseboard—there wasn't enough privacy. There is no easy access to the hotel for taxis.
- Gianluca (10/5): Un soggiorno veramente molto bello. Un plauso ai ragazzi dell’hotel - Struttura magnifica vicina ai monumenti più importanti
- paola (10/5): Boutique Hotel di grande suggestione con vista mozzafiato sui minareti di Santa Sofia - La posizione, la qualità dei servizi e, in particolare la cortesia e professionalità dello staff, tra tutti, ma non solo, Omar, sempre pronto a soddisfare ogni esigenza del cliente. Particolare non trascurabile, la vicinanza a tutte le principali attrazioni di Istambul. Hotel consigliatissimo.
- Amol (10/5): - The location of this hotel is unbeatable. It’s steps away from the Hagia Sophia and blue mosque making it very convenient when visiting Istanbul for the first time. More than the location though, it’s the staff that makes this property 5 stars. From the reception to the restaurant waiters, everyone is so helpful and kind that we had no complaints whatsoever. They took care of our 8 month old while we had breakfast making our stay very very comfortable.
- Joanne (10/5): The staff was super helpful and the breakfast spread was amazing. - Location to all the key attractions In protected zone. Unable to be dropped off by front entrance.
- Meglena (9/5): -
- DANIELA (10/5): LOVELY AND PLEASANT - The hotel is in the best location to visit old city, St. Sophia Mosque, Blue Mosque ... It is new and has every confort. Special mention to Melike, who served us a wonderful breakfast and helped us to know the marvellous Turkish flavours. Thanks also to all the personell, in primis the concierge staff. Also the cleaners were very special. Thank you, we'll come back again and suggest St. Sophia Hotel to all our friends. nothing
- Deborah (10/5): Very enjoyable - Perfect in every way 😍
- Сабира (10/5): - Удобное местоположение, все достопримечательности в пешей доступности, вежливый и приятный персонал, помогли донести чемоданы. Чистота в номере. Номер небольшой, хотя санузел приличного размера, но это не прям минус, думаю во всех отелях здесь так.
- Sean (10/5): Perfect spot for couples who want to explore Istanbul - Amazing location, literally across the street from the famous Basilica Cisterne and moments from Hagia Sophia & Topkapi Palace! Comfortable room, great staff, enormous breakfast!
- Meer (10/5): 7day - Not at all No
- Marisa Marta (10/5): Fabulous restful stay in a prime location - The location next to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and hamams was exceptional! The staff was extremely welcoming, offered you tea and coffee upon arrival, helped my mother and I with booking with Hurem Sultan Hamam and when we arrived early at 8am they let us check in early and gave us a free room upgrade with a view to the Hagia Sophia. Hotel Saint Sophia takes hospitality extremely seriously and truly care about their guests. Thank you! 🙏🏽❤️ Nothing it wax
- Šimon (10/5): - The hotel is ideally located near all the central landmarks in Fatih - including the Hagia Sophia, Topkapı Palace, and Basilica Cistern, making it perfect for exploring the city, as everything is within easy walking distance. The staff were truly exceptional - I would even say perfect. Everything was taken care of, and the check-in process was smooth, easy, and very welcoming. Breakfast was definitely a 10/10, with a wide selection of delicious foods to choose from. I would especially like to thank the lovely lady who looked after us during breakfast. She was incredibly attentive, kind, and friendly, and her hospitality made our mornings even more enjoyable. Thank you for a beautiful 10/10 stay in Istanbul!
- Jose Antonio (9/5): - Staff is amazing! Thanks for everything! Location is incredible!!! Amazing view of the Blue Mosque from the room.
- Marco (10/5): -
- Roth (10/5): Santa Sfía is a great place to stay in historic Istanbul. - The location of the property is outystanding, walking distance to th Blue Mosque and next door to Haghia Spfía. Across the street nfrom the Cistern. Breakfasr and service at berakfast was amazing, the guys at the Reception were very helpfull. Notheing to complain, only to congratulate. A topilet brush is useful, but there wasn't one. i guess I coould have asked for one.

The staff truly stood out; everyone was welcoming, attentive, and eager to help, making me feel right at home. I would absolutely recommend this hotel and would be happy to stay here again.

- Andrea (10/5): - Muy buen servicio, desayuno muy bueno. El personal es super atento y siempre están dispuestos a ayudar en todo. El desayuno es increíble. Es una muy buena opción para estar en el centro histórico. Al estar tan cerca a la mezquita, se oyen las oraciones 5 veces al día.

- Laighah (10/5): Exceptional stay in the heart of Istanbul - I had an absolutely amazing stay at this hotel and couldn’t recommend it more. The location alone is unbeatable—right in the center of Istanbul and within walking distance to some of the city’s most iconic historical sites. Being able to step outside and immediately immerse myself in the culture, history, and energy of the city made the experience truly special. The hotel itself was beautiful, clean, and incredibly comfortable, but what truly set this stay apart was the staff. Omer and Melike went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect from start to finish. They were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Their kindness and professionalism made us feel genuinely cared for and at home. Every detail of the stay exceeded expectations, and it’s clear that this hotel takes pride in both its service and guest experience. If you’re looking for an amazing hotel in a prime location with outstanding staff, this is the place to stay. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.

- Pruteanu (9/5): - Excellent location. Close to tourist attractions. Nice staff.
- Angus (10/5): Wonderful hotel at the foot of the Hagia Sofia - Unbelievable location. Room was quiet, comfortable and clean, with helpful staff always available.
- Tania (9/5): Great value hotel in a lovely area. - Staff went above and beyond. The area was great too. Access to the hotel is restricted, meaning your taxi cannot drop you off or pick you up at the door. The entrance is steep and cobbled as well, with no handrail. This is something about anybody with mobility issues should be aware.

- Fata (10/5): Place to call home when you are in Istanbul .. - Everything was excellent, breakfast, room with a view of Hagia Sophia mosque, amazing staff, Omer who was so helpful that for a moment I thought he was our personal butler ( thank you for being so attentive) and for all the questions and concerns there are Hakan and Murat at the reception desk.
