Top Little Hagia Sophia Hotel Reviews

Carina Gold Hotel and Restaurant

8/10 Good

"Good hotel in fantastic location in Central Istanbul. Close to all the big sights and with helpful staff who spoke good English."

Four - G Hotel Premium

10/10 Excellent

"The perfect hotel! The location was fabulous and just around the corner from the Blue Mosque, all the main attractions were within easy walking distance and the tram at the top of the street made it easy to get around if going a little bit further. What sets this hotel apart though is the staff! A very welcoming check in with recommendations for what to do/see and very helpful with all enquiries. The room was spotless and the view over the Blue Mosque was amazing!! Highly recommend this hotel and would definitely return!"

AJWA Sultanahmet

8/10 Good

"The Spa and Pool are quite expensive and can only be accessed at specific times depending on your gender. The hotel itself was lovely as were the rooms. The staff were very helpful and polite."

Hotel Amira Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"This property was excellent. So helpful, friendly, and dependable for a solo female traveler. I loved the view from the tiny one-step-out balcony of the Roman hippodrome wall. Don't miss having a coffee and dessert on the rooftop overlooking the Bosphorus and the city. Highly recommend."

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful little hotel in Istanbul . Our room had a gorgeous view of the Blue Mosque and the Bosphorus . The staff were friendly and helpful at all times . All things given , it was a wonderful stay . I would go back in a heartbeat."

Recital Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful and friendly staff, great location, and breakfast included! Stayed here for 4 evenings and we enjoyed our time. Friendly and flexible front desk that coordinated our hotel transfer, so one less thing to worry about when visiting an unfamiliar place for the first time. Cleaning staff was cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was included and you get a European style breakfast with a slight Turkish twist. Good way to start off the day! Location was very walkable to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and other sights. Lots of dining options within 1 to 5 min walk. Felt safe walking around, even at night in the area. I would definitely consider staying here again!"

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful hotel to stay at for my first visit to Istanbul. It is in the heart of everything. There are like a million restaurants around you, many shopping sites and the tram is right up the street. The room was VERY clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Mel the main receptionist that I saw was wonderful. The room did feel hot the first night and I tried to change the thermostat but the guests are not able to change it on their own. You just let the receptionist know. They changed it for me to make the room cooler. If this is your first time visiting Istanbul this is a great place to stay as it's within walking distance of most of the tourist attractions and there are tons of restaurants and shopping all around you. I felt welcomed by the staff and would stay here again."
