Amazingly friendly and helpful staff always ready to help
La excelente predisposición del personal para hacer que tu estadía sea placentera. Demuestran permanentemente amabilidad, cortesía y simpatía ante cada requerimiento.
Die Lage war perfekt un die Stadt zu erkunden. Die Zimmer waren schön gross und funktional eingerichtet. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Es hat kein Restaurant leider
Πολύ καθαρό, βολική τοποθεσία μόλις πέντε λεπτά με τα πόδια στην Αγια Σοφία και μπλε τζαμί. Το προσωπικό ευγενέστατο. Πλούσιο πρωινό.
Warm, friendly, helpful and welcoming staff, a very comfortable room, a fabulous rooftop breakfast and within easy walking distance of all the wonderful places to see in the Sultanahmet area of old Istanbul.
The staff are very good But the hotel not as looking in the picture Small hotel even without elevator
Chambres très propres. Personnel très sympathique, accueillant et serviable ! Mention spéciale à la manager 🫂🌸, particulièrement attentionnée et professionnelle. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et recommandons vivement cet établissement.
Camere spaziose e posizione vicina ai principali luoghi da visitare. Buona la colazione. Staff sempre disponibile. Posizione tranquilla.
Dotazione camere minima. Manutenzione da migliorare. Manca ascensore.
The rooms were comfortable and very clean. The staff was excellent.
Es un hotel Molt agradable , ben comunicat I son Molt amamables
A szállás elhelyezkedése ideális, az óváros főbb látványosságai sétatávolságra találhatóak. A személyzet rendkívül segítőkész, rugalmas és kedves. A hagyományos török kávé és tea egész nap térítésmentesen kérhető és fogyasztható a hallban.
Nekünk nem okozott gondot, de mivel az épület műemlék besorolású, így nincs benne lift.
Very close to center attractions and mostly staff and owner they were lovely people everything on the spot , I love to go again , very happy 😊🥰❤️🌺
Friendly and helpful staff, rooms are clean and nicely decorated. Wonderful breakfast and short walking distance to historic sites, and great restaurants.
The location of Ayasofya Hotel is grea. Sitting right in the heart of Sultanahmet, top historical landmarks. Outstanding Hospitality: What truly sets this hotel apart is its incredible team. Every member of the staff was genuinely attentive, warm, and helpful from start to finish. Special thanks to Ms. Ece for the welcoming greeting every morning at breakfast & always available for the fantastic local recommendations. Appreciation to Mr. Mehmet for having a wonderful team for the guests. Warm gratitude to Mr. Saifullah for his guidance and for keeping us refreshed with wonderful Turkish tea! Thanks to Ms. Dina & Mr. Ali as well for quick support whenever needed.
The hotel’s location was excellent—hardly a 5-minute walk from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There were also plenty of shops and restaurants very close by, which made it extremely convenient for exploring Istanbul. The breakfast was a traditional Turkish breakfast, which was nice to experience, but the buffet was quite small and overall felt average. A little more variety would have made the breakfast much better. Overall, the location was definitely the highlight of our stay.

Amazing kind and supportive team . For a 3 stars hotel they are doing amazing . Location is perfect . I really appreciate what they are doing . Room and beds are good also after very tiring day . Calm places
Average breakfast
Emplacement, gentillesse du personnel (notamment à Ece qui parle toutes les langues, qui prend le temps le matin avec toujours un grand sourire d échanger).
Klein und sehr fein! Unglaublich nettes und zuvorkommendes Personal, nette gemütliche Zimmer und ein toller Blick auf den Bosporus von der Dachterrasse aus.
Το ayasofya hotel special class βρίσκεται σε ένα από τα πιο ιστορικά σημεία της πόλης είναι εξαιρετικά καθαρό και όλοι οι άνθρωποι του είναι ευγενέστατοι και εξυπηρετικοί ιδιαιτέρως η υπεύθυνη μάνατζερ κυρία ECE
Hotel znajduje się w świetnej lokalizacji, tuż obok najważniejszych zabytków — Hagia Sophia, Błękitnego Meczetu i wielu innych miejsc, do których można dojść spacerem. W okolicy jest mnóstwo restauracji, kawiarni i małych sklepików, co sprawia, że wszystko jest pod ręką. Sam obiekt jest kameralny, bardzo czysty i dobrze utrzymany, a pokoje wyposażone we wszystkie niezbędne udogodnienia. Obsługa tworzy wyjątkowy klimat tego miejsca. Personel jest serdeczny, uważny i zawsze gotowy pomóc, a pani menadżer dba o atmosferę i reaguje natychmiast, gdy tylko pojawia się jakakolwiek potrzeba. Dzięki temu pobyt jest naprawdę komfortowy. Na dachu znajduje się taras z pięknym widokiem na morze, dostępny przez całą dobę — idealny na chwilę odpoczynku. Brak windy nie przeszkadza, bo schody są wygodne i łatwe do pokonania. Śniadania to kolejny mocny punkt hotelu: różnorodne, codziennie inne i oparte na lokalnej kuchni. Świeże produkty, dużo smaków i świetna jakość sprawiają, że każdy poranek zaczyna się tu wyjątkowo
nie mamy zastrzeżeń
el personal muy amable
las fotografías de las habitaciones eran engañosas, son mucho más pequeñas que en las fotos y elegimos una habitación para cinco personas que era imposible estar porque el sofá cama era incomodisimo
Я останавливалась в этом прекрасном отеле примерно на 5 дней. Очень уютный и теплый отель с вкусной едой. У нас был номер на троих с прекрасным видом. В номере всегда убирали, когда мы этого хотели. По утрам можно было завтракать с видом на море, что делало наш отдых еще более приятным и незабываемым. От отеля очень легко добраться практически до любой точки Стамбула — рядом есть и автобусные остановки, и трамвайные пути. Но больше всего мне хотелось бы отметить персонал отеля. Очень теплые, дружелюбные и отзывчивые люди. Они не просто выполняют свою работу, а действительно заботятся о гостях: часто спрашивают, всё ли хорошо, и всегда готовы сразу помочь, если что-то нужно. Также хочу отметить, что сотрудники отеля говорят на нескольких языках, что очень удобно и значительно облегчает общение. Спасибо отелю и всему персоналу за прекрасный отдых, теплое отношение и отличный сервис! I stayed at this wonderful hotel for about 5 days. It’s a very cozy and welcoming place with delicious food. We had a room for three with a beautiful view. Our room was always cleaned whenever we wanted. In the mornings, we could enjoy breakfast with a sea view, which made our stay even more special and memorable. The hotel is also very conveniently located — it’s easy to get almost anywhere in Istanbul, with both bus stops and tram lines nearby. But what I would especially like to highlight is the hotel staff. They are incredibly warm, friendly, and helpful. They don’t just do their job — they genuinely care about their guests. They often asked if everything was okay and were always ready to help right away whenever we needed something. I also really appreciated that the staff speak several languages, which makes communication much easier and more convenient. Thank you to the hotel and the entire staff for such a wonderful stay, your warm hospitality, and excellent service!
Posizione ottima, personale gentilissimo, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.
Camere piccolissime e niente ascensore
De kamer was vrij compact, maar het bed was uitstekend en de douche had een sterk debiet. De airco kon naar believen ingesteld worden (temperatuur/ventilator). Het ontbijt werd geserveerd op het dakterrras met fantastisch uitzicht op de Bosporus. Het ontbijt was behoorlijk gevarieerd. Het personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam en kende hun talen (Frans, Engels, ...). Het hotel is op wandelafstand van alle topattracties in de oude stad.
Het ijskastje op de kamer koelde amper.
Nous avons été très bien accueillies par le personnel, qui s'est montré chaleureux, disponible et réactifs à nos demandes. C'est clairement, à nos yeux, le principal atout de cet hôtel.
Nous avons eu l’impression d’avoir été trompées sur la qualité de l’hôtel, car les photos sur booking ne correspondent pas à la réalité. La photo de la façade est particulièrement trompeuse : elle présente un hôtel très fleuri, soigné et semblant dégagé, alors qu’en réalité, l’établissement est collé à plusieurs autres hôtels, dans une petite rue étroite et sans aucune végétation. De même, les photos présentant une vue dégagée sur la mer sont loin de correspondre à la réalité. La chambre est correcte, mais elle mériterait d’être rafraîchie : traces sur les murs, fissures, évacuation de la douche constamment bouchée et, le dernier soir, absence d’eau chaude. La chambre était également assez petite et sombre. Le petit-déjeuner est toutefois ce qui nous a le plus déçues. En voyant les photos, nous nous attendions à un véritable buffet avec beaucoup de choix. En réalité, l’offre est nettement plus limitée. La qualité des produits est correcte, mais cela ne correspond absolument pas à ce qui est présenté sur les photos : il y a facilement trois à quatre fois moins de choix que ce que les images laissent penser. Dans l’ensemble, le séjour reste correct, mais à nos yeux, les prestations et l’état de l’établissement ne correspondent pas au niveau que l’on peut attendre d’un hôtel 4 étoiles. Nous aurions préféré que les photos soient plus représentatives de la réalité afin de pouvoir réserver en connaissance de cause. Nous avions choisi cet hôtel notamment en raison de ses très bons avis et nous avons donc été particulièrement surprises de constater que personne ne mentionne l’écart entre les photos et la réalité, notamment l’utilisation de photos qui semblent avoir été générées ou fortement modifiées par IA. Enfin, nous tenons à signaler qu’après avoir laissé notre note, l’hôtel a directement contacté l’une des personnes ayant séjourné avec nous afin de lui proposer un séjour gratuit en échange d’une meilleure évaluation.
We had a great stay at Ayasofya Hotel in Sultanahmet. The location is perfect, within walking distance of almost all the major attractions in the Old City, including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Grand Bazaar. The rooftop restaurant has wonderful views, and the breakfast had a good variety of options. While the rooms are a little dated, they were very clean, tidy and well maintained. The staff were exceptionally friendly, helpful and accommodating. They gave us great advice on sightseeing and were also very helpful in arranging tours and airport transfers. Overall, a comfortable stay in an excellent location with fantastic hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Istanbul’s Old City.
No elevators but not too much of a problem as we a young family with 2 kids in their early teens.
The area and the service and the staff were very friendly and helpful
La amabilidad del personal. El desayuno era muy bueno. Cambiaban cada dia de dulces tipicos. La habitacion era amplia y comoda. El bañ tambien grande.
La habitacion que nos dieron daba como a un subterraneo.
L'emplacement et le personnel sont supers. Nous avons passé un très bon moment.
Extremely friendly staff and a comfortable room.

Un grand merci au personnel de l'hôtel Ayasofi.Un merci tout particulier à Dina et Riham pour leur gentillesse et leur accueil votre sourire, votre service et votre attention ont fait toute la différence. On s'est sentis comme à la maison. Merci du fond du cœur ! Gros bisous
l'itinéraire pour arriver dans le quartier est un peu difficile avec des valises à cause des rues pavées, mais l’accueil à l’arrivée a tout compensé.
The front desk and staff were wonderful
Está ubicado cerca de lo más turístico Santa Sofía, la mezquita azul..
Las fotos no son del hotel, las habitaciones son muuuuuy pequeñas resulta incómodo moverse.
Bonjour Nous avons passé un bon séjour dans l’ensemble . Je n’oublierai pas la gentillesse de Melle DINA qui nous a bien accueilli depuis le premier jour avec un grand sourire jusqu’à la fin . Merci beaucoup DINA
Clean
The staff were all wonderful, breakfast was delicious, the location was great, the room was spotless on arrival.
The decoration in the room was very tired, the bathroom in particular needs to be redecorated and cracks in paintwork need to be addressed. The room was not cleaned in the three days we were there.
Amazing staff! Everyone is very helpful with everything!
Nothing not to like, just be aware there is no elevator if you cannot walk up stairs (they will help you with your bags both up/down)
Hotelul este situat aproape de obiectivele principale, astfel încât poți să ajungi la acestea fără să folosești mijloacele de transport. Camerele sunt curate, atmosfera din hotel este plăcută, personalul este ospitalier, ești așteptat cu ceai și cafea turcească iar micul dejun îl poți lua pe terasa aflată pe acoperiș de unde ai o priveliște superbă spre Marea Marmara.

We loved everything about our stay. The staff were absolutely exceptional—warm, welcoming, attentive and always willing to assist. A special mention must go to the manager, who was superb throughout our stay. Her recommendations were excellent, and she went above and beyond to facilitate all of our requests. We were even accommodated with an early check-in and treated to a complimentary breakfast on our first morning, which was such a thoughtful touch. The hospitality really made our stay memorable.
Nothing at all. We genuinely had a wonderful experience and couldn’t fault the property or the service.
Очень хороший отель, удобное расположение , завтрак Швецией стол , все очень вкусно , персонал вежливый, все чистенько, говорят на русском!) в общем советую ))
La amabilidad del personal. Limpio. Camas cómodas. Aires acondicionados ok. Camas muy cómodas Ambientacion bien turca.
La habitación es curiosa en su tamaño. Algo estrecha para poder pasar pero es un detalle. Algo importante es que no hay ascensor. Ayudan mucho el personal del hotel con valijas para llevar a pisos superiores.
El personal no puede ser más amable, te hacen la estancia muy agradable. Aparte de eso también nos gustó mucho la azotea que tiene.
Our stay at Ayasofya Hotel – Special Class exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived until the day we checked out, every detail reflected genuine hospitality and exceptional care. The hotel offers a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere that made our family vacation truly unforgettable. The breakfast was absolutely delightful, featuring a rich selection of fresh, high-quality, and delicious dishes that catered to every taste. The morning was a wonderful start to the day. The hotel's greatest strength is its remarkable staff. A heartfelt thank you to Ms. Dina, Mr. Saifullah, and Mr. Fareed for their professionalism, kindness, and constant willingness to help. They always greeted us with warm smiles and made us feel like valued guests rather than just visitors. A very special appreciation goes to Ms. Ece. Her grace, warmth, and genuinely caring personality made a lasting impression on our family. She was exceptionally cooperative, thoughtful, and always ready to assist with sincere kindness. Her beautiful smile and welcoming nature created an atmosphere that made us feel completely at home. She is truly a wonderful ambassador of the hotel's outstanding hospitality. The location is another major advantage. Situated in the heart of Sultanahmet, the hotel is only a short walk from iconic landmarks including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and the Basilica Cistern, making sightseeing effortless and enjoyable. We look forward to returning again in the future.
The only thing I didn't like was having to leave such a wonderful hotel and its incredibly warm and welcoming staff. ❤️
Fantastic location. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Istanbul was our last stop and after a very tiring trip it was nice to come to a hotel with such comfortable beds and comfortable room. We are a family of 4 and 2 large bottles of water were complimentary and my son even said the beds were so comfy it was the best sleep he had all trip. Bathroom was a bit dated and could be refreshed a bit but overall everything was super clean which was more important for us. The complimentary breakfast over looking the Bosphorus was beautiful too. What an amazing way to have breakfast!
Nothing. Everything was good.
Convenient location , right in the center . Very friendly staff , great breakfast. Highly recommend.
Personel bardzo pomocny i sympatyczny i jest to niewymuszone. Szczególne podziękowania dla Pani Manager - osoba konkretna, pomocna, zawsze zainteresowana tym,aby pobyt nie tylko w hotelu był udany. Gościnność to wielki plus tego miejsca. Poza tym duży wybór potraw na śniadanie, bardzo dobre ciasta. Plus oczywiście super położenie hotelu przy samym bizantyjskim hipodromie,a więc samo centrum,a śniadania na tatasie z widokiem na morze Marmara.
Wir sind mega zufrieden mit dem Hotel. Alle waren sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Es war alles sauber. Wir können das Hotel nur weiterempfehlen und kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
Great location and staff. Small boutique hotel, with very friendly staff. Great breakfast with terrace with to sea.
mesmorizing! The team members are amazing. Allowed me to early check in, which was amazing. Breakfast was too good. Eca, Dina, Berdi was so hospitable, I am gonna definately gonna come here again in my next visit.Will be missing the super affection of these people. hepinizi seviyorum Afasoya hotel team💚
We are super happy with the property! Beautiful and cozy
Excellent breakfast, very variegated food list .Personnel always kind and available and supportive .Front desk very gentle and nice
The location is very close to almost everything, walking distance. Also, the stuff is friendly. Quiet area.
Extremely poor breakfast and very small room. Not a 4* hotel, especially for Turkish hospitality services.
Our stay at the hotel was truly wonderful and memorable. The breakfast was exceptional, offering a delicious variety of fresh and flavorful options. The atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for a comfortable family stay. The staff provided outstanding hospitality and excellent service. In particular, Ms. Dina, Mr. Saifullah and Mr. Fareed were extremely courteous, patient, professional, and always willing to assist with a smile. Their kindness made our stay even more enjoyable. The hotel's location is outstanding—right in the heart of Sultanahmet. Major attractions such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern, and other famous landmarks are all within easy walking distance, making sightseeing incredibly convenient. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul. Its excellent location, outstanding service, delicious breakfast, and warm hospitality make it an excellent choice. I would be delighted to stay here again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The room was spacious with plenty of natural light. Beds comfy. The staff went out of their way to be helpful. The rooftop breakfast was definitely a highlight. Location was great. Close to the Blue Mosque and stacks of restaurants.
Our bad - we didn’t check if it had a lift. But the wonderful assistant raced up and down those four flights of stairs with our suitcases like they weighed nothing. And getting ourselves up and down four flights was no big deal.
The location is excellent being close to Hagia Sophia etc, shops & restaurants. The hotel is clean & well maintained, while the staff , who are super friendly, helpful & efficient made us feel very welcome. We also enjoyed a hearty breakfast each morning of our 3 day stay.
Our room was small but contained everything we needed.
Excellent and welcoming staff. Clean and quite rooms.
Location. Very tight and steep streets as as expected in this area. Be prepared when you are booking there.
This hotel is well located for the Blue Mosque and Hagie Sophia. The breakfast had a great variety, and the view from the rooftop breakfast was of the Bosphorus. All the staff were very pleasant, helpful and welcoming. Amina was very friendly and attentive, and full of great recommendations of what to do and where to go. Thank you for making our family trip to Beautiful Istanbul so special.
No lift so take that into consideration
La pulizia e la colazione
Stanze troppo piccole e assenza di ascensore
Staff is very very cooperative with great hospitality. Especially the lady at reception was amazing. She also host us during breakfast with very nice smile and her knowledge about the city is amazing and she gives very useful tips.
Parking is not available at all. Though location is near to the blue mosque and many restaurants but streets r bit steeped.
Amazing
Nothing it’s great

Great location, within easy walking distance of everything you want to see in Istanbul. The terrace has beautiful views over the Bosphorus, the staff are friendly and helpful throughout, and the whole stay is great value for money.
Joli petit hôtel au calme,très bien situé par rapport aux sites à visiter. On y trouve tout ce qui est attendu : un excellent accueil avec en plus une charmante hôtesse qui parle français, le confort de la grande et jolie chambre(suite 3 personnes ), le bon petit déjeuner dans un cadre agréable, avec cerise sur le gâteau une très belle vue sur la mer de la salle et du rooftop que nous avons beaucoup apprécié. Pas d'inconvénient, que du plaisir.
Rien, tout est parfait.
Вӯвсе супер)
No elevator.
Zeer vriendelijk personeel!
Eigenlijk niks, het is oud maar wel goed onderhouden en wij gingen voor de authentieke sfeer wat helemaal klopte.
Понравился этот отель. Коллектив добрый и улыбчивый. Было интересно общаться с ними, все вопросы решали быстро и позитивно. Номера чистые и уютные. В общем в отеле чувствуешь себя как дома. Спасибо за качественный сервис и внимание к гостям!
The Ayasofya Special Class Hotel offers a highly convenient, modern, and hospitable stay in the heart of Istanbul's Old Town, though it comes with standard historic-district space limitations. The staff are extremely helpful, welcoming, and genuinely friendly. The property sits in a quiet area, yet remains within short walking distance of all major Old Town attractions. Both the bedrooms and the bathrooms maintain an excellent standard of cleanliness. The hotel features very new, modern, and updated interior design. Guests receive complimentary bottled water, tea, coffee, and biscuits throughout their stay. The hotel serves a great breakfast featuring both local Turkish specialties and continental options. The rooftop terrace offers great views and a comfortable outdoor space to relax.
The bedrooms are small, which is typical for historic buildings in this area but can feel tight for travelers with heavy luggage. There is no elevator on the property, making it difficult for guests with mobility restrictions or heavy bags to reach upper floors. The room electricity turns off completely when the keycard is removed, meaning the mini-fridge stops cooling when you leave the room. The television screen is small, and the majority of international channels are blocked.
Дуже гарний та комвортний готель, розташованний на тихій вулиці, з чудовою терасою для сніданків та відпочинку. Тераса відкрита цілодобово, де можно зробити каву або чай у любий час. Персонал дуже привітливий, та завжди радий допомогти. В номері прибирали кожного дня. Номер дуже зручний.
Нічого. Все було дуже добре.
The service was excellent. The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The breakfast was delicious, and the chefs were happy to prepare anything you wanted. The hotel was exceptionally clean. Its location was perfect, with all the major tourist attractions easily accessible. Everything was perfect!! Thank you
Ece is great host and good in English.
The Ayasofya Hotel is in the heart of old-town Istanbul within walking distance of many of the tourist sites and with many Turkish restaurants nearby. The staff at Ayasofya were excellent - so friendly, helpful and kind from the moment we arrived and throughout our stay. (And don’t take this for granted in Istanbul - through unfortunate circumstances we have experienced several other hotels in Istanbul this week and Ayasofya stands head and shoulders above others). Indeed, when we had a severe emergency the staff were so helpful and caring (thank you: it helped us through). Our room - the quad - was perfect for our needs with two rooms giving our daughter the privacy of her own room yet still being together. It was smaller than it looks in the photos but very nicely decorated and in a great condition. As an added bonus there’s a roof terrace for breakfast with views over the Bosporus that can be used throughout the day.
Nothing really. The breakfast was excellent but (and no surprise) quite Turkish in its style. There’s no lift given it’s in an old building and the roads all around the area are in a poor condition but specifically re the hotel - it’s excellent.
Everything 全部最高でした!
Nothing 全て完璧で最高でした!
朝食が素晴らしかった うけつけの対応も悪くなかったです
La atención del personal y su amabilidad
The hotel is nice and close to the main attractions in the old town. The room was comfortable for three people, and the views from the top-floor dining terrace with the sea view were very beautiful. Also, the staff was very helpful during check-in; they allowed us to check in early and even let us have breakfast on our check-in day.
However, we faced a major issue with the location map. The location mentioned on Booking.com is different from the actual location by around 150 meters. I specifically booked this hotel because it looked closer to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia on the map, so this discrepancy caused us a big disappointment. Because of the booking conditions, I also could not cancel it. When I complained, the hotel staff could not satisfy us about this mistake and they were not apologetic either. Also, there is no lift in the facility.
Very beatiful!!
A reggeli bőséges volt és változatos. A teraszról a kilátás a tengert is magába foglalta. Tea és kávé folyamatosan elérhető a bárban. A szállás környezete kellemes, éttermekkel, boltokkal, pénzváltóval a Sultanahmet térhez közel. A T1 villamos (óvároson áthaladó) egy rövid sétával megközelíthető. Amennyiben valamire szüksége van az embernek a személyzet segítőkész. A szobák tiszták, kényelmes az ágy.
was an unforgettable experience. The freshness, variety, and taste of the breakfasts were absolutely incredible. Don’t miss having breakfast on the terrace with its stunning cappadocia view. The owner went above and beyond to ensure exceptional service, and all the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive to our every request. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, so you can stay with complete peace of mind. We wish everyone a wonderful stay and a great time. Thank you for everythingwe truly enjoyed our visit and would gladly return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
All the staff were amazing, always helping with anything they can. They help you with information regarding not just sightseeing but also traveling, shopping, helping with your itinerary etc. Rooms were cosy and very clean. Breakfast was very good with a great view from the roof terrace.
Le personnel étaient très gentils et attentionné.
Les lits doubles très petits pour deux personnes, les chambres vraiment petites limite étouffante, les couvertures aussi très petite. Sur booking les photos montre une vu incroyable sur la mer depuis la terrasse du restaurant mais malheureusement la vu n’était pas du tout comme sur la photo. La vu était plus sur les toitures délabré et on voit de loin la mer.
We had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Ayasofya. The hotel is located in a great area, within easy walking distance of the main attractions, yet it remains remarkably quiet, allowing for a good night's sleep. The room was comfortable, spotless, and very well maintained. Housekeeping standards were excellent throughout our stay. We were traveling with an elderly family member, and the staff were especially attentive and considerate. Their kindness, patience, and willingness to help made the stay much easier and more enjoyable for our entire group. The breakfast was very good, and the staff were exceptionally accommodating. If there was something specific we needed or preferred, they were always happy to help and provide it whenever possible. This personalized attention made us feel especially well cared for. What really made the difference was the hospitality of the entire team. Every employee we interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely helpful, making us feel welcome from arrival to departure. Overall, Hotel Ayasofya offers an excellent combination of comfort, cleanliness, location, and outstanding service. We would happily stay here again and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul.
Прекрасное расположение, невероятно отзывчивый и добрый персонал, вариативный и вкусный завтрак
Le personnel surtout Dîna qui nous a tres bien accompagne
La hospitalidad del personal inigualable, el desayuno espectacular, la ubicación es extraordinaria, está cerca a todo y la vista en la terraza es divina
What made it special is that Dena was outstanding helpful and she takes time with customer to make them at ease and make them comfortable she is very caring loving and absolutely a gem she is highly professional polite always smiling and helpful if it wasn’t for us meeting her I wouldn’t be as happy as I am now she s amazing don’t feel like going I m touched by her
The Ayasofya Hotel-Special Class was outstanding for our stay in Istanbul! The staff was extremely helpful with airport transfers and recommendations, and the breakfast was fantastic each morning— so many options, and Ece and the breakfast team went above and beyond preparing Turkish coffees and chatting with all the guests, we felt very special and well looked after! The quadruple room for our family of 4 was perfect— both bedrooms were large, had sitting areas and closets which was very comfortable. There was a large shower, plenty of hot water and everything was very clean (as well as great air conditioning!) The location was fantastic— close to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia and it was easy to get to other parts of the city using the trams! Would definitely stay again if we return to Istanbul!
We absolutely loved our stay at Ayasofya hotel. The staff especially Farit was sooo nice and always greeted us with a smile. Every single person, from the manager lady in the breakfast area and the amazing chef who fed us delicious breakfast every morning and the guy who was at the reception in the evening (forgot his name) were soo kind. They all made us feel home. We will definitely come back if we visit Istanbul again and highly recommend it to everyone.

The staff was the most helpful of any hotel I have stayed in in the country(USA) or out of the country. Trips tours they are the best
Nothing wrong
Emplacement parfait à 10 mn à pied des sites à visiter, des bars et restaurants. Petit hôtel très calme, cosy, très propre. La terrasse sur le Bosphore très appréciée pour les petits déjeuners très copieux et variés. Et...le personnel extrêmement accueillant et agréable, en plus Amina et Donia parlent parfaitement français, ce qui est génial. L'accueil est exceptionnel. Allez-y les yeux fermés.
