Tasty breakfast with an nice variation, and with special order for omelet, scrambled eggs etc. Friendly and nice staff - when having some challenges with the airport pickup company, Arda & Sedat from the front desk was fast to intervene, discuss and solve the issue with the driver directly / thank you :-)

Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can explore its vast structure from the inside with a visit to the museum that’s now housed within the walls.

Very old and full of history it has had many different lives & purposes over the centuries. Some of the paintings on the walls are still visible & tell a story. Did a guided tour and it was definitely worth it.

Queues, Queues and more queues. But worth it. Do not bother with the AR experience which costs an extra 1250 TL (£25) each. The entrance is roughly £25 to get in if you buy it at the ticket office, make sure you ask for the basic tour otherwise they include the AR experience as a default. Amazing mosaics and beautiful architecture.

This greekorthodox monument, one of the greatest for the christianity worldwide, is questionably managed by the modern Turkish state, after it was recently converted to a mosque (since there are so many of them, I really wonder why) The entrance for the tourists is allowed only at the 2nd floor, missing that way, an amazing perspective of this exceptional temple, that you can have only from the ground floor. You simply get half the pleasure! At least, you can have a glance of the unique mosaics covered by white pieces of cloth, due to religious restrictions. Anyway, don't miss it!

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level.

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level. Previously you could get in on the ground floor and experience the wonderful open space of the huge dome above you. It is still possible to see some of the dome and the structure is very interesting but a slight disappointment. However , it is an amazing old structure. Small number of mosaics still visible. Better and more extensive mosaics at the Kariye Camii if mosaics are of interest.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

The balconies with sea views are very nice, the staff is friendly, the sea views are very good. It is in the best location in Istanbul, close to Sultanahmet, Çemberlitaş, Little Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, shopping malls, restaurants, and everything is very close. They have private transfer vehicles that pick you up from the airport and bring you to the hotel. Everything was great, thank you very much.☺️🙏

WiFi in the apartment works flawlessly. Lots of restaurants and shops all around the apartment but at the same time quiet at night.

Modest breakfast. But about the hotel.... A great delight! Mehmet, the one who welcomed us, proved to have an exceptional character — honest, empathetic, and altruistic. He was one of the very few truly genuine people I have met. The hotel, perfectly located, is a heritage building. Fair, charming, and offering excellent value for money, it is definitely worth revisiting. And the view of Hagia Sophia from the terrace was simply breathtaking. Congratulations!

The view from the rooftop and the balcony of my room were wonderful. The staff were exceptionally friendly, always ready to help and offer great advice. The location—right next to the Sultanate Hamam and Hagia Sophia—is perfect for exploring the historical heart of Istanbul (Constantinople). The breakfast was delicious, and the hosts showed genuine care and interest in their guests, making this cozy, homely hotel a truly welcoming place to stay.

With a location in the old city behind Hagia Sophia and directly across from the basilica cistern there can be no more central site in Istanbul. However, being in the historic centre prevents taxis reaching the front door. But they have a plan for that and the hotel staff meet you at the taxi and carry your bags the short way to the door. The rooms, whilst small, have all you need and are clean and well presented. The breakfast is exceptional and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside. Avoid the huge tour group queues & go straight to the top of the line, else you'll wait for hours. I was in (in both places), in 10 minutes without being pushy.
