Saint Sophia Hotel Sultanahmet Istanbul Guest Reviews
This hotel was in an excellent location for visiting all the main sites including the Blue Mosque, Aya Sophia, the Grand Bazaar and the Spice Market. Trams ran past the door with stops either just up the hill or a short walk down the hill. Room was a good size - older style but comfortable. Only issue, the airconditioning was ineffective so in the height of summer room may be unpleasant. Windows do open so lots of fresh air though. Breakfast was good. I would definitely stay here again.

The location is exceptional. So near to 4 of the most interesting places to be visited, that is, the Blue Mosque. St. Sophia museum, Topcapi and the underground cathedral cistern. These can be visited on foot from the hotel. Many restuarants (Turkish cuisine ) in the area. The tram line station is only about 150 metres away. The hotel staff are all very polite and very helpful even if one or two of them cannot speak english. The hotel needs to be seen to, as there are some items that need to be renewed. The room we had was quite spacious, although the bathroom needs refurbishing. We wish to thank all the staff for the help and cordiality given to us, especially Murat, Fatih. Metin, Sarkan. We think the only drawback was the praying from the mosque on the loud speaker, mainly the first prayers that start at 4.45 am. On the whole it was a very enjoyable holiday.

Good location at tourists 'hot' site. Transport is easy, tram station - Sultanahmet/Gulhane is within a walking distance. Nice breakfast and friendly staffs too! Money changer and restaurants are all nearby.

Perfect location - next to Haggia Sofia. The 4 ground floor rooms are not shielded from noise from Reception, so it can be noisy late at night (returning guests, Reception calls, etc) and early morning (guests going to breakfast). Staff are very friendly and courteous.

Excellent location in the heart of Sultanahmet area, next door to the Aya Sophia. Comfortable, clean, reputable hotel providing very good facilities and friendly, helpful service. Parking might be a problem if driving to hotel - we arrived by minibus from airport. Tram stops within easy reach - frequent service.
