Guest Reviews
- Malgorzata (9/5): Fajna lokalizacja, jeśli wrócę kiedyś w tę rejony to zdecydowanie w to miejsce. - Hotel położony w doskonałej lokalizacji, kilka minut spacerkiem od Placu Sułtana Ahmeda. Obok dużo restauracji, te znajdujące się w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie oferują rabat na korzystanie z ich usług. Właściciel bardzo miły, pozwolił zostawić walizki po wymeldowaniu na terenie hotelu (lot w godzinach nocnych, wymeldowanie o 11:00). Pokoje są małe, ale czyste i ładnie urządzone. W razie potrzeby można prosić o dodatkowe sprzątanie pokoju. Brak
- Faheem (8/5): -
- Wieslaw (10/5): Ruhig - Zentral - Freundlich - Bequem - Die Lage war sehr ruhig gegenüber der ursprünglichen und kleinen Sophia-Moschee. Blaue Moschee, Hagia Sophia sehr gut fußläufig erreichbar. Hotel-Personal sehr freundlich und jederzeit erreichbar. Das Hotel ist klein, daher auch sehr ruhig, kein Getrampel und Getöse. Von der Terrasse hat man einen herrlichen Blick auf das Marmarameer und den Bosporus, auch in der Dunkelheit schweben Möwen über der Blauen Moschee (von unten angestrahlt). Die Gegend ist sehr sauber wie fast überall in Istanbul, die Menschen freundlich. Abends unbedingt mal im Arch Bistro essen gehen. Eines der wenigen Läden, wo man nicht aufgefordert wird, hineinzugehen und das Amphoren-Essen probieren, ein Traum. Wir haben eine funktionierende Istanbul-Karte von Herrn Ömer im Hotel bekommen. Nahverkehrsmittel sind sehr preiswert. Bitte unbedingt Fähren nutzen! Leider hat uns am letzten Tag bei der Abfahrt ein Taxi überrumpelt, was nicht für uns bestellt war. Die anteiligen Kosten hat uns freundlicherweise Herr Ömer erstattet, obwohl es nicht sein Fehler war. Beim Taxi in Istanbul ist grundsätzlich Vorsicht geboten, nutzt lieber Füße und öffentliche Verkehrsmittel. Insgesamt grandiose 5 Tage, viel zu wenig für diese gigantische Stadt. Mein persönlicher Favorit war Besiktas, ein sehr heterogener Stadtteil. Es war alles ok. Nichts zu beanstanden.
- Léa (9/5): Hôtel charmant dans un quartier hyper agréable - L’accueil, l’emplacement, le rooftop Odeurs pas très agréable dans la chambre
- Norita (10/5): Would definitely return! - Beautiful view from my room. The trees & the little Sofia Mosque.
Ömer & his staff are very friendly & attentive. None
- SILVIA (9/5): - La amabilidad del personal, y su buena ubicación
- Monica (9/5): - La habitación muy amplia. Muy cerca de la mezquita Azul y Santa Sofía. El personal encantador y con todas las comodidades. Sin duda volveria encantada
- Silvia (10/5): - Albergo piccolo e accogliente,il personale molto gentile e disponibile.
Struttura pulita
Posizione eccellente!ristoranti adiacenti convenzionati e a due passi a piedi dal bazar e dalla moschea blu.
Se si ha voglia di camminare un pó si possono visitare le altre principali attrazioni a piedi(gran bazar,bazar egiziano,torre di galata...).
Davanti a una moschea,alcune mattine la preghiera iniziava alle 4:50 del mattimo(consiglio dei tappi a chi non si vuole svegliare 😄)ma noi abbiamo apprezzato anche quello,in tutta la città capita spesso nella giornata di sentire preghiere in filodiffusione! Se proprio devo trovare qualcosa,poca insonorizzazione,quasi nulla
- Kati (10/5): tolles kleines Hotel in der historischen Altstadt - wunderbares kleines hotel im historischen Teil Istanbuls. in einer ruhigen Strasse sehr nah am Wasser gelegen. Der Besitzer hat stets ein offenes Ohr und hat viele Tips für die Erkundung der Stadt. Das Angebot des Flughafentransfers ist gold wert.
Das Hotel liegt neben der kleinen hagia sofia moschee, man darf über das morgendliche Gebet nicht überrascht sein. (uns hat es nicht gestoert)
- Natalia (10/5): Excelente custo benefício - A localização do hotel é perfeita. Eu peguei o ônibus 11 no aeroporto de Istambul por 7 euros e desci no ponto final que estava a 3 minutos caminhando até o hotel. O Gerente Geral Omer foi super gentil desde a minha reserva até a hospedagem. O quarto e cama eram confortáveis, o chuveiro funcionava bem e a vista da mesquita Little sofia e do Bósforo maravilhosas! A acomodação tem escada e recebi ajuda para subir a mala. As janelas sao anti ruidos.
Ps. Vale esclarecer que estou me referindo a um hotel padrão Europa duas estrelas. Hotel sem serviço e com ótimo custo benefício. Para o padrão e preço proposto eu gostei de tudo.
- Theresa (9/5): - na na
- Malte (10/5): - Vorallem die Lage vom Hotel ist sehr ansprechend. Sehr nah zu der Hagia Sophia und der blauen Moschee. Das Personal ist hervorragend und immer äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vorallem erwähnenswert ist der Ausblick von der Terrasse. Ömer, Sadik und Jeyhun sind immer hilfsbereit und freundlich. Service 1+.
- Emmanuel (9/5): Si on revient à Istanbul on y retournera 👍 - Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Little Sofia Hotel à Istanbul.
Nous avons été ravis de notre chambre, très agréable et confortable, ainsi que de la qualité globale de l’établissement. Mais ce qui a vraiment fait la différence, c’est l’accueil exceptionnel.
Un grand merci à Ömer, le propriétaire, pour sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité, ainsi qu’à tout le personnel, toujours aux petits soins et attentif à chaque détail.
Nous recommandons cet hôtel sans hésiter et y reviendrons avec plaisir lors d’un prochain séjour à Istanbul !
- Perrine (8/5): -
- Elena (10/5): Warm and comfortable stay in the old city - The hotel is such a cute accommodation in the old city of Istanbul. You have many cute cafes and places to go nearby. Omar was very friendly and so kind! Definitely recommend this stay.
- DMITRII (9/5): Красивый вид) моя любимая улочка в Стамбуле - Хороший отель с прекрасной террасой на крыше и хорошим видом из окна. Очень давно хотела побывать в данном отеле. В Стамбуле уже 6 раз. Мне все понравилось . Только уборка подкачала!!! ее просто не было! Были 3 ночи. На третий день спросили куда можно выкинуть мусор, так как уборки не было. Сказали, что сегодня планируют уборку и замену полотенец. Мы кинули полотенца на пол, мусор был уже нами собран. Когда выходили из отеля, сказали что уберут. Ну вы понимаете, что полы на 3 день уже грязные и стоит убраться. Вернулись в номер примерно в 22.00 , а номер никто не убрал. Полотенца все мокрые на полу!!!!!!!! Мусор в номере так и стоит. Муж пошел на ресепшн выносить мусор и менять полотенца. Не ожидала такого отношения от данного отеля. Я считала, что сервис тут на уровне.
- Oksana (10/5): - Просторий номер, доволі чисто, гарний матрац, є тераса з гарним краєвидом на Малу Софію та море, топові пам'ятки пішки 5 хвилин.
У номері був чайник, чай, праска. Готель напроти мечеті, то кілька разів на день і дуже рано в ранці буде голосно, призив на молитву. Нам не заважало, вважаю це місцевим колоритом.
У цьому районі ціни трішки вищі на все, їжу, продукти, сувеніри - це історичний центр, ми до цього були готові.
Номер розташований на першому поверсі, то ж штори приходилось тримати закритими, багато туристів зупиняється фотографуватись на фоні готелю.
Що саме мені було проблемно - високі подушки, боліла шія від них.
Загалом отримали те, на що розраховували.
- Carrillo Llamas (10/5): - The staff was incredibly helpfull and kind. We felt like in our home. Qualityprice ratio is amazing. We would come back for sure here. Special mention to Sadik, he was the best with us. Nothing.
- Lisa (8/5): Nice, clean hotel in a brilliant location - Location was excellent. Just 10 minute walk to Sultan Ahmet mosque and 15 to Topkapi. Hotel overlooks Little Hagia mosque, very nice view but be prepared for very early call to prayer! Omar was responsive, friendly and very helpful There was a fridge in my room which would have been very helpful but it was not working. No big deal if didn’t have one but if it is there?
- Riccardo Splendorini (9/5): Più che soddisfatto - posizione ottima per visitare tutte le attrazioni più importanti di Istambul, ma anche per mangiare data la vicinanza a diversi ristoranti
- Fanta (10/5): Parfait - Le personnel était très aimable et serviable. Logement propre et situé proche du centre et des points d’intérêts principaux. Rien
- Antonio (10/5): Confortevole - Mi sono trovato molto bene. Omar è davvero molto gentile, non smette di essere presente per supportare e aiutare in ogni momento. La posizione è davvero vicina al centro ed allo stesso tempo è possibile trovare ristoranti e market nelle vicinanze.
- Aisling (10/5): -
- Shauna (10/5): Beautiful accommodation and perfect location. - The hotel was so lovely and decorated beautifully. I really loved the location, in walking distance to many lovely restaurants, bars and shops. Staff were very helpful too. Really happy I chose to stay here. As the hotel is opposite a mosque, the only thing is that the call to prayer in the morning is really loud, often at 6am so would wake me up. However, I understand this is not the hotels fault, and everything else was great.
- VIKTORIIA (10/5): -
- Mandy (10/5): Really comfy authentic hotel in a great location with very friendly staff and is super value for money - Great location in a quite area but still an easy walk to all the sights - our room was really comfy so much so we overslept on the day of check out - value for money second to none and you still have the little touches like hairdryer, toiletries and a hospitality tray - fantastic restaurant next door that gives you 10% off - just brilliant - would not stay anywhere else if we return to Istanbul - ❤️ My one and only criticism - and I don’t think they can change it - is the front door that is so loud when it shuts - I did have earplugs but I didn’t wear them because I love to hear the call to prayer - I think it sounds so loud because it is actually so quiet otherwise x but it was no majors x
- Giovanni (7/5): -
- Aikaterini (5/5): - We had a basement room. The owner said that it was mentioned (reservation for 3 persons). I didn’t notice it. It was a clean bed with a very very dirty kitchen, as well as the floor. The bathroom was not in a good condition. I made a bad choice based on the reviews
- Lyubomil (7/5): -
- Sofia (9/5): - Zona tranquilla e splendida
- Anaïs (10/5): -
- Berta (10/5): Cute place in Istanbul - Everything. Location to see the main touristic places was great, the views from the room were beautiful: facing an old mosque and sea. The size of the room was very good, same for the bathroom. And it had a really nice rooftop terrace just to take your book and enjoy the peace and views. I liked everything! I will be back.
- Alkhayr (7/5): - -Omar, the owner is helpful. Thanks Mr. Omar.
-The location and the view are amazing.
-The price is good for the room. I gave 7/10 because of few things which disturb my stay.
1. When I arrived I needed to wait outside for 12 minutes, although I was giving information I'll arrive at this time. The main door was closed.
2. The third night was so strong smell from the bathroom (sewers), day after the owner helped me as much he could, he told me it's normally from time to time to be like that on all street.
3. Morning day before I leave was no hot water.
4. The cleaning was not so good, and 2 sockets had no electricity.
- Dmitrii (10/5): -
- Mustafa (10/5): I was lucky with my choise of selecting little Sofia - The place was very clean, the staff were helpful, and the location was excellent. Honestly nothing
- Natalia (9/5): Amazing week in Istanbul - Great location just 5 minutes away from main historical attractions. Very clean and comfortable room. Amazing view from open rooftop rest area
- Rawan (10/5): Hotel in the heart of the city - It's close to all the museums and historical sites. The hotel's cleanliness and decor are magnificent. Everything you need as a tourist is right around you. Ömer was helpful and always there for us throughout our stay. We had breakfast on the terrace on our last day. This place really impressed me.
- Katya (10/5): Nice neighborhood, cute hotel - A friend recommended this hotel, adorned with flowers outside and located in a quiet, charming neighborhood. It's close to public transportation and within walking distance of tourist attractions. There are many restaurants and markets nearby. We were warmly welcomed and felt like part of the family. Now I have a home in Istanbul ❤️
- Oksana (10/5): nice hotel with spacious rooms - They carried our luggage upstairs and provided information about the city and the surrounding area. There's a historic mosque across from the hotel. Exploring these streets during a nighttime stroll is thrilling. I highly recommend this hotel and its staff.
- MOUNIB (10/5): un séjour inoubliable en famille de 5, à refaire de la même manière à la première occasion. - - le professionnalisme de l'Hôte, Mr Durmus, il nous a accompagné depuis la réservation jusqu'au départ. nous avons beaucoup apprécié.
ce petit Hôtel de charme est à proximité des lieux historiques, commerciales, , Topkapi, Aya Sofia, mosquée bleue et bien d'autres comme le grand bazar. Aussi à 5mn à pieds, la promenade sur la corniche, au couché de soleil . il est entouré de rues vivantes pleines de restaurants et de petits commerces,
les chambres sont climatisées, propres , tres bien aménagées , chaque chose à sa place. le rapport qualité prix est imbattable.
en plus, y a une vraie bonne boulangerie turque est à quelques minutes, pour un simit chaud sortant du four à consommer sur la terrasse au dernier étage de l'hotel avec un thé et la vue sur mer .
- IULIA (8/5): -
- FraSwho (9/5): Ottima posizione. Piacevole soggiorno. - La posizione è ottima! L'hotel è semplice, ma molto carino! Camera con vista, accogliente e con l'occorrente per la colazione (bollitore, tè, caffè). Lo staff è accogliente e ci ha aiutati in diverse occasioni, sono stati molto gentili e simpatici. C'è un fantastico terrazzino dove potersi rilassare e ammirare il panorama di Sultanahmet.
Si trova in una stradina molto carina, con ristoranti e negozi. Ci sono molti mini market vicini. Consigliato! Da tenere presente che si trova vicino ad una moschea, quindi potrebbe disturbare la mattina presto la chiamata alla preghiera (ma in tutta Istanbul è più o meno così, soprattutto a Sultanahmet)... onestamente, in una settimana di soggiorno mi sono svegliata per questo solo una volta. Consiglio di usare i tappi per le orecchie.
- Catherine (10/5): - Parfait. Gentillesse d Omar.
- Dan (8/5): Great place, recommended - Great location Noise next door room
- Robert (10/5): - Rooms are clean and the staff is very kind and authentic
- Kamran (10/5): Perfect and central. Beautiful Little Sofia Mosque outside and the staff are family owned lovely people -
- Michael (2/5): - The first room I was shown had an appalling smell of drains. They moved me to another for the first night. For the second night, when I arrived back at the hotel in the evening, there was no water. It was a problem in the district. And there remained no water until I checked out the next day. The hotel made no effort whatsoever to help me. I realise the water wasn't their fault, but I think it's fair to expect a hotel to try to help in some way, even if it's just bringing some bottled water.
- Avery Joseph (10/5): -
- Maria (8/5): -
- Aidana (10/5): -
- Roca (10/5): - I truly loved everything about this hotel.
My room had a beautiful view of the mosque, and the hotel itself was perfect. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always attentive.
The two restaurants right next to the hotel were amazing as well — great service, very friendly, everything was perfect.
The neighborhood is central, convenient, and lively without being noisy.
I would definitely come back!
- Olga (9/5): Хороший домашний отель для комфортного отдыха - Прекрасный тихий и чистый отель, отзывчивый хозяин отеля Все отлично
- richard (10/5): - Lovely friendly hotel Nothing. Hopefully will be back one day. Thank you for a lovely stay
- Frank (10/5): Great place to stay - A big thank you to the exceptional staff the went over and above (Omar) thank you Nothing to report
- Dena (10/5): - I highly recommend the Little Sophia hotel. This was my first time in Istanbul. I chose this hotel for its location and easy access to all the main sites. The hotel is located on a quiet side street, directly in front of a green area and a beautiful quaint mosque. The room was comfortable and clean with all that I needed. (I especially enjoyed the view from my room at night, it was calming and serene) Omar, the owner, was very attentive and kind during my stay. The hotel is located just a short walk away from the Blue mosque and Hagia Sophia. I found everything I needed within walking distance: supermarkets, cafés, and restaurants. As a solo female traveler, I found this neighborhood to be safe and comfortable. Highly recommended. Thank you, Omar, for your hospitality.
- Mickael (10/5): - Tout était très bien…
- Svetlana (10/5): - Отличная локация, тихая улочка и прекрасный вид на сад мечети и море, очень внимательный и заботливый менеджер отеля Омар, трансфер до аэропорта.
- Mikhail (10/5): -
- Olga (8/5): Отличный отель,если ценишь спокойствие и уют - Хороший миниотель в спокойном месте Стамбула,хорошие ребята на рецепшене все хорошо
- Steve Wyn-Harris (10/5): Brilliant hotel and owner couldn't be more helpful. - What a gem of a hotel. Welcomed by Omar who runs this family business. He's delightful, helpful and so pleasant. The rooms are lovely and ours looked out onto the Mosque and the call to prayer was fantastic. As this isn't enough, there's a rooftop balcony to sip on a drink and watch the sun set over the Bosphorus. It was perfect.
- Mirjana (2/5): - I did not like that the hotel did not have an elevator. The bathroom had a foul smell, and the shower was clogged.
- Shahur (10/5): Amazing - The property is very clean including our room. Everything was on point.
Omar was amazing. He was always a text away, he helped me out as my luggage got lost by the airline and facilitated me getting back. You can also book your taxi to the airport through him and it’s very convenient
- Meike (9/5): Top Preis Leitung und super Lage - wir haben uns wohlgefühlt - Zentrale Lage, alles in der Altstadt ist gut zu Fuss erreichbar, freundliches Personal, man fühlte sich immer Willkommen. Kleines Hotel mit 7 Zimmern - gute Erreichbarkeit des Eigentümers. Sauber. 10% Rabatt bei den beiden benachbarten Restaurants. Zum Glück keine Hauptverkehrsstraße. Dachterrasse mit Blick auf Meer. Die Lautstärke, da die Zimmer alle nach vorne rausgehen, sollte man bedenken. Zudem ist direkt gegenüber eine Moschee, die um 6 Uhr Morgens zum Gebet ruft.
- Malik Amir (10/5): - The host is guiding and helping in every way possible.
- Malik Amir (10/5): - The host (Mr. Omer) was excellent and very cooperative. He helped us in every way possible. Thanks a lot to him and his team.
- Vladislava (10/5): As hospitality should be - When you pay just a small amount for a hotel night, you usually don’t have any expectations — you just want it to be clean and safe. That’s exactly how it was when we booked a room at Little Sofia Hotel in Istanbul.
But then the price–quality balance shifted the moment the hospitality and service culture far exceeded the cost, making the price feel not just symbolic, but almost irrelevant.
Omer, the owner, showed a rare kind of kindness and genuine care. He helped us with our luggage when we arrived and when we left, answered all our questions with patience and involvement, served us tea and baklava, stored our bags until our late-night flight, and even walked us to the taxi, refusing to let us carry our own luggage.
He was present and attentive throughout our entire stay. I’ve been to Istanbul before, in much more expensive hotels, but I honestly can’t remember ever being treated this warmly and respectfully.
We deeply appreciate it, we are grateful, and we wholeheartedly recommend this place. I have nothing to complain about.
- Javier (10/5): Recomendable para la relación calidad precio - Muy cerca de las atracciones turísticas principales.
La habitación era cómoda y limpia.
- Angela (10/5): -
- Jolita (10/5): - Good price, good place and personal!!!
- Alberto Morleo 🇮🇹 🇩🇪 (10/5): - I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is perfect – in a quiet area yet just a short walk from the Hagia Sophia and other main attractions. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, always making me feel welcome. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul!
- Alison (10/5): Great experience - safe and quiet but close to major sites - Location, rooms and overall great
Staff were exceptionally helpful
Loved it Coming home
- Sonya (10/5): Great place, highly recommend. - This is a gem of a place, maximum 15-minute easy walk to all major attractions, public transport and shopping. Very comfortable room, nice rooftop terrace to sit out and enjoy the view. Omar was great, he met us upon arrival, we saw him every day and he gave us great local tips. I highly recommend this hotel for your Istanbul stay. We loved everything but just note that you will be directly beside a mosque, and you will hear the call to prayer very early in the morning. It did not bother us at all, but something for you to be aware of.
- Adina (8/5): -
- Mahmood (10/5): Lovely place with lovely people - Everyone was super friendly, was a cute and cosy stay N/A
- Katsıaryna (10/5): A hotel with beautiful surroundings - This is my second stay here, and each time it makes me happier. There are many stylish restaurants on the street. It's in the city center but away from the hustle and bustle. See you next time, Little Sofia Hotel. 🌿
- Anton (10/5): Уютный отель с хорошим местоположением. - Чисто, уютно, удобные кровати и подушки. Вайфай работает хорошо. Отличное местоположение, до основных достопримечательностей 10 минут пешком.
- Barbara (10/5): - Owner was fantastic. Helped us with all our questions. Will definitely recommend
- Emanuele (10/5): excellent location - Our primary reason for choosing this hotel was its location. But we were more than satisfied. It's within walking distance of the Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia, and the museums. The staff is experienced and knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed everything. We think we got our money's worth. I'll miss this place and Ömer.
- Malte (10/5): cute hotel on the historic street - Everything was perfect. The rooms were clean. We got a lot for our money. Ömer was very polite and responded quickly to our questions. The terrace is beautiful, overlooking the mosque and the sea.
- Evgeniia (10/5): Все понравилось, можно рекомендовать. - Хороший мини-отель, останавливались в комнате "Двухместный номер Делюкс с 1 кроватью и видом на море" - номер на 3 этаже с видом на небольшую мечеть(древняя византийская церковь св. Сергия и Вакха - советуем сходить), менеджер приветливый и доброжелательный, готов помочь. Номер небольшой, но все необходимое есть - на 2-3 ночи и за эту цену отлично(94 евро за 2 ночи на 2 человека).
До центра - Голубой Мечети, площади Султанахмет и Айя-Софии примерно 15 минут пешком. Рядом с гостиницей несколько ресторанов, утром можно позавтракать с видом на мечеть - в ресторане который рекомендовал менеджер(если выходить из гостиницы, то направо). Ночью тихо, но будьте готовы что с рассветом вас разбудит - Муэдзин из мечети.
До аэропорта от площади Султанахмет ходит автобус Hava.ist №11, но приходить нужно заранее - автобус маленький. Завтраков нет, но для нас это не было проблемой - поскольку около отеля много кафе.

- Marcella (10/5): Favoloso - L’accoglienza, pulizia, disponibilità, tranquillità del quartiere.
- Stefano (10/5): - Posizione eccellente, proprio davanti alla piccola moschea di Little Sofia. A piedi si arriva praticamente ovunque, fra le mete più gettonate della zona. Chi ama camminare potrà spingersi senza difficoltà fino all'altra riva di Istanbul ed esplorare quindi anche il lato asiatico. Tutto intorno ci sono locali di ogni tipo, da quelli più turistici a quelli più tranquilli e autentici - consiglio vivamente l'Art Cafè, a pochi passi. Pochi passi e si arriva a piazza Sultanahmet, quindi alla Moschea Blu, ad Haya Sofia, palazzo Topkapi eccetera. Omer è un ragazzo gentilissimo, sempre disponibile e rapidissimo nel rispondere alle esigenze dei suoi ospiti. Rapporto qualità / prezzo imbattibile.
- Luis (9/5): - Habitación cómoda, con buenas vistas y ubicado cerca de las principales atracciones turísticas.
- YAHIA (6/5): Beautiful setting, comfort issues. - The staff were kind and helpful always making us feel welcomed. The view from the hotel was amazing and we enjoyed a charming restaurant just nearby. The curtains did not block out any light, which made it difficult to sleep during the day _ especially with a baby_. The kettle was dirty. The pillows were quite uncomfortable and the covers felt too rough for a hotel stay.
- BOUDJEMIA (8/5): Séjour correct - L’emplacement Après une semaine de séjour la chambre a été faite qu’une fois
- Harriet (10/5): Wonderful little hotel - This is a lovely little family-run hotel in a quiet part of town, a little oasis from the bustle of the busy areas. The rooms are clean and cool and Ömer checked in regularly with us to check we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
Definitely recommended for travelers wanting somewhere quiet but well-connected in Istanbul. We also really loved the cats who visited the rooftop terrace!
- Malte (10/5): 2nd time and always again - War jetzt zum zweiten mal in diesem Hotel und werde auch wieder hier übernachten, wenn ich nach Istanbul komme. Ömer ist sehr freundlich und Hilfsbereit um einen den Aufenthalt zu verschönern. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist das neue familiengeführte Restaurant nur 10 Meter weiter bei welchem es 10% Rabatt gibt.
Auch die Terasse ist sehr schön um seine Nächte dort mit dem Blick auf dem Bosporus ausklingen zu lassen.
- Mario (1/5): - Absolutamente nada.
No es un hotel.
Ni siquiera un Hostel.
Fui estafado.
Con juicio en puerta.
Desastroso. Nada me gustó.
- Emmanuelle (10/5): Séjour formidable , on s’y sent comme à la maison . - Charmant petit hôtel , face à la petite Hagia Sofia , quartier préservé de l’agitation de la ville . L’endroit est calme et reposant .
L’accueil par Ömer est parfait, on s’y sent tout de suite à l’aise. Ömer est adorable , de très bon conseil et toujours disponible pour organiser une croisière sur le Bosphore , un retour en taxi à l’aéroport , les sites à visiter .
Les chambres sont très propres , la literie est impeccable , et le restaurant Aya Garden ( à côté ) propose une carte très variée et de délicieux plats .Nous recommandons à 500%, et nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir .
Merci encore à Ömer et Issan pour leur gentillesse et disponibilité . Rien , tout était parfait
- Roberto (7/5): -
- Valentina (10/5): - Posizione ottima, stanza pulita, personale accogliente e disponibile
- KATSIARYNA (9/5): - Соотношение цена/качество, отель в целом превзошел ожиданиям - классный вид из окна и террасы, отличное месторасположение, чистота, отзывчивый и гостеприимный персонал, наличие кафе рядом с милым интерьером. Остановилась бы снова - рекомендую.
- Rawan (10/5): Very comfortable and nice experience! I'm really happy I chose this hotel. - The owner of the hotel is extremely friendly and made sure everything was good! I wasn't expecting to have such a wonderful stay, but it genuinely was such a good experience. The hotel is small with a wonderful view and in a quiet part of town, but close to touristic locations. If you're someone who enjoys walking, you can go anywhere in Fatih by foot from that hotel! And at night make sure to go walk by the seaside, a very recommended experience. The hotel also has a nice terrace overlooking the sea, it's accessible at all times so make use of it too if you're there. There are also several good restaurants on that street, so you don't need to go far if you want to grab dinner & you'll have the neighborhood cats to keep you company :)
If I'm in the area again I'll definitely just be booking Little Sofia Hotel!!
- Marius (10/5): - The location is great. both for the historic area and for a walk along the seashore. The host was very helpful. I highly recommend
- Ekaterina (10/5): отлично - номер отличный, с красивым видом на мечеть, администратор отличный парень, в 5 минутах от всех достопримечательностей, цена тоже огонь не для семей с малышом на коляске, ступеньки не удобные, хоть и всего один этаж пройти
- Quilici (9/5): -
- Vesna (10/5): Perfekt 👌🏽 - Das Hotel bietet ein sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Die Zimmer sind sauber, ebenso die Bettwäsche. Das Badezimmer ist einfach, aber ebenfalls sauber. Herr Omar war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und jederzeit erreichbar. Alles, was wir benötigt haben, hat er uns möglich gemacht.
Die Lage des Hotels ist perfekt – etwa 15 Minuten zu Fuß bis zur Hagia Sophia. Insgesamt ist alles gut zu Fuß erreichbar.
Das Hotel liegt direkt gegenüber einer Moschee. Zu den Gebetszeiten kann es daher naturgemäß etwas lauter werden.
- Helen (10/5): A Gem! - Location was amazing gorgeous old town within walking distance of all the sights- very helpful staff who went out of their way to make my stay comfortable. The bed was comfortable and all amenities supplied and a fantastic view from the room! As a solo travellor I felt safe and supported. I would have liked to have water in the room
