La ubicación...muy cerca de Topkapi y hagia sofia El desayuno con vista muy bueno
El colchón más o menos,.la habitación como antigua, el aire acondicionado andaba con lo justo
I traveled with my best friend and we loved this place… staff very nice, good breakfast included, nice view from the rooftop, excellent location just 10 minutes walk from the main attractions, good value for the price ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A szállás az nagyon központi helyen van, kicsit zajos.
Great location, fantastic breakfast room, great views, comfortable room
La vue. Le personnel, le petit déjeuner. Tous don’t tres aimables !
La chamber était un petit peu un desordre, mais c’était pas grave !

Le roof top et le dîner
Les chambres . Pas de drap ni de couvertures et ce n est pas une blague . Petit déjeuner catastrophique. Ouverture à 8 h du matin . Heure tardive . De plus nous avons pu avoir le café uniquement à 8h30 malgré 2 relances de note part . Petit déjeuner pas bon du tout . nous avions programmés des visites
Location and Staff. Walking distance from all the main attractions in the Old City of Istanbul. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The room was quite big and had all the required facilities, though it was not a luxury hotel.
Nothing Much
Ottima posizione a due passi dalle maggiori attrazioni e con una bella terrazza che si affaccia sul Bosforo
Niente
Lo staff è stato poco accogliente, neanche salutava ospiti, la colazione era scarsa e mediocre e l’addetta alle bevande calde era una ragazza sempre scocciata e quasi infastidita dalla richiesta di un semplice caffè, camera sporca e rumorosissima e non la vengono a pulire, non insonorizzata per cui senti il traffico a qualsiasi ora, quando siamo andati stavamo facendo dei lavori per cui era tutto pieno di polvere e l’ascensore non sempre ha funzionato
Sehr zentrale Lage, 5 Gehminuten bis zur Hagia Sofia. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam, insbesondere die junge Dame am Frühstücksbuffet. Wir hatten ein Familienzimmer zur Seite, daher nicht so laut von draußen oder Treppenhaus. Das Doppelbett hätte nach meinem Geschmack etwas größer als 1,50m sein können. Aber 2 WC und 2 Duschen ist Luxus bei 4 Personen und auch geräumig.
Es ist kein Mängel, da ich schlechter geschlafen habe. Aber die Dusche bzw. Silikonfugen sind verschlimmelt und ganz schwarz. Man steht letztendlich nur drinnen, daher ok. Aber man sollte nicht allzu empfindlich sein. Der zweite Kühlschrank und das 2. Bidet war defekt.
The location is fantastic, just a few minutes walk to the main monuments and mosques. The rooftop is beautiful with great views over the Bosphorus and city. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast is served buffet style in the upstairs restaurant (not the rooftop), but it has lovely views as it is windows all round. There is not a very big variety at breakfast but what they served was delicious. Our room was big and spacious, the bed very comfortable and everything impeccably clean. The hotel is right in the heart of the old town, so there is entertainment venues nearby that can be a bit noisy. But it's part of the charm of the location.
Nothing to complain about :)
Расположение и персонал
Не работал холодильник и вай-фай
Am besten war die Dachterrasse auf der man am Abend auch ganz gut aber nicht unbedingt preiswert essen kann. Dafür mit Blick auf den Bosporus und die Blaue Moschee
Im meinem Zimmer im Ergeschoss waberte teilweise ein Kloakengeruch durch den Raum. Die Klimaanlage funktionierte nur als Ventilator und ein Fernseher fehlt komplett. Am Zimmer gehen die Touristen direkt vorbei, weshalb der Vorhang am besten geschlossen sein sollte. Das Frühstück im dritten Stock war etwas lieblos gestaltet und das Personal dort nicht sehr aufmerksam.
Comfortable. Simple. Great breakfast and coffee. Awesome view. Great stay.
酒店位置超预期方便,性价比高,顶楼餐厅早餐好吃,可以看到海景和两座著名的清真寺。酒店提供的洗浴用品也挺好用。如果不在酒店吃晚饭,旁有步行5分钟还有政府提供的社区餐厅,价格更实惠25里拉一杯的红茶,180里拉一杯的咖啡,650里拉一份的三文鱼或者海鲈鱼,价格在旅游区算是惊艳,份量也很足,靠窗能看到海景,窗边座要提前订。周边餐厅多,还有一家中餐,超市也很近。整体体验超出预期,住得很舒服 🌊🏨✨✨。对于旅游区这个酒店是超出预期的体验好。
Все очень понравилось . Все чисто , аккуратно , персонал очень вежливый и дружелюбный . Трансфер гораздо дешевле , чем такси . Нам все очень понравилось
The location, the staff and the cleaning.
Nice location, unfortunately the terrace was taken by overpriced restaurant. Otherwise suitable for short stay.
Super lokalizacja.
Very friend stuff . Early check in and check out . Amazing breakfast with view
Not a very clean room. The sheets were clean. But some places in room really with dust and dirt. Dirty windows and fridge
Location ,Breakfast, quite
Need more attention about cleaning , the bed is not comfortable
The hotel has a great location. In just a couple of minutes, you can walk to the main square. There are also plenty of restaurants/cafes on the same street
The bathroom was in poor condition. The shower hose had almost no water pressure because of leaks, and the rain shower did not work properly. The bed was small, with only one sheet and one pair of slippers for two people. The soundproofing was very poor, and street noise could be heard clearly, especially at night.
Close proximity to Hagia Sophia and the view from the terrace
EXCELENT
SALTEAUA
I liked the location as it is few minutes from the main monuments in Sultanahmet area. the breakfast at the rooftop is fantastic, u can enjoy ur Turkish breakfast while observing the ships on the bosphore. Im so happy for the choice i made.
Nothing major to mention.
Lo mejor de Villa Sofia es la ubicacion, se encuentra centrica del gran baazar y mezquita azul
Nos toco una habitación, que tenia olor a desague que provenia del baño, el cual no tenia ventilación. En el desayuno, la actitud de la chica no fue amable y faltaba coordinación, pues aun cuando es libre, solicitamos varias veces Té y que repusieram el huevo.
La atención muy cálida y atenta del personal en todo momento
The location is fantastic. The hotel is just 5 min walking to the aya sofia and blue mosque as well as sultanahmet tram station. The rooftop is fantastic with great view and food. The stuffs are so kind and helpful and will guide you also to navigate tourist destinations. Also they offer airport transfer and it is both comfortable and economic as well. Make sure to contact them right after booking so that you can start with a smooth journey.
Nothing in my mind. The door locks are not that good which might make guests uncomfortable ( May be it was only our room ). Some are not fan of only one push lock. I hope the facility will look at this issue. But in terms of safety the hotel is top notch so please don't worry about it. The hotel lobby is under 24/7 camera surveilance and there are someone at the lobby all the time so nothing to worry about. People here are so friendly and nice and extremely tourist friendly so it is super safe.
Very overpriced to its standards
Amazing location, helpful personal, nice breakfast (just monotone). But if you prefere location over luxury, this is amazing place to stay
It is not we did not like, just a warning of night time/early mornings prayers being loud.
Our stay at the Villa Sofia was fantastic! Location superb, breakfast buffet wonderful and the hotel staff was more than helpful. A special shout-out to Ms. Ferdavs at the front desk who was very informed, welcoming to guests and knowledgeable about Istanbul. In truth she helped make our week there surpass all expectations. We will return to the Villa Sofia!
Super kind staff. Good value for money. Roof top restaurant. We asked for late check out and they refuse to extra charge for.
Quite noisy street during night.
La ubicacion. Zona perfecta para alojarse y cerca de las principales atracciones de la zona antigua pero quedando alejada del ruido
3 dias no nos arreglaron el cuarto por que se quedaron sin personal de aseo
Отель чудесно расположен. Очень приятный,помогающий во всём персонал. Хороший завтрак. Красивый вид с террасы на св. Софию,Голубую мечеть,море. В номерах,выходящих на дорогу шумновато, постоянное движение машин. В целом,нам всё понравилось. До главных достопримечательностей в среднем 8-10 минут, очень близко. Рекомендую.
酒店位置非常好,离罗马的主要景点非常近,可以说,这里就在景区里面。房间很干净,也很安静。工作人员很热情友善。作为旅游者,住在这里的几天,感觉很放松,大大增加了对罗马的好感度。推荐!
La localizacion,el desayuno increible,
Best location possible.
The location is perfect. Walking distant to the both Mosques (4 mins) Transportation (4mins) Istanbul hussle and bussel shops/markets (5mins) Multiple restaurants (1min) be mindful you pay extra for food based on location. Gelatine Tower (25mins) The hotel staff are amazing, Ali was great, beyond expectation. The rooms are great to sleep in. (You pay for what you want) Highly recommend this hotel. The breakfast was great, a small selection to get you through the morning.
I didn't pay ridiculous money for 5 star treatment, therefore nothing to complain.
La ubicación y tranquilidad
Falto agua para tomar o preparar cafe
Property was not as pictures on booking are posted, at least on my case. Room smells humidity and furniture is needed to be fixed or replaced
Staff gentilissimo, super preparato e pronto a darti consigli qualora avessi dei dubbi sulle attrazioni. Posizione super centrale perfetta per chi ha poco tempo a disposizione per visitare la città. Colazione a buffet molto ricca e decisamente buona.
Wonderful central location and amazing rooftop restaurant with the view to the Bosphorus
The room could have some reparation, the furniture is warm out, but it didn’t bother us much.
I have stayed here on several occasions, and each time I experienced excellent value for money. Although it is not a 4-star hotel offering luxury or overly pretentious standards, it perfectly meets the needs of guests looking for a simple, clean, and comfortable place to stay. The breakfast selection is wonderful, varied, and more than sufficient for a hotel in this category. For those visiting for sightseeing or shopping and only needing a place to sleep or relax, it is an ideal choice. The rooftop terrace offers a beautiful view of the city, where you can enjoy a cold Turkish beer in the evening while having a pleasant conversation with friends. Overall, it is a friendly and well-run place that I am always happy to return to, just as I regularly do.
Nothing.....everything met my needs.
Heel vriendelijke personeel. Fantastisch locatie

Friendly staff and great location!
Localização em rua de muitos restaurantes e 300 metros da Mesquita Azul e Hagia Sofia e estações de metrô/ônibus. Quarto grande com mobília clássica e banheiro grande e reformado.
Bom café da manhã, mas demora muito para chegar na mesa pois é individual de segunda a sexta-feira.
Нам все понравилось , хорошие завтраки, персонал супер доброжелательный , многие говорят на русском. Очень удобная локация
Ottima posizione vicino tutti i principali musei e attrazioni turistiche, nonchè ristoranti e bar.
Struttura vecchiotta, odore spiacevole dal bagno...
Una posizione fantastica, la vista del ristorante inclusa nel menù, non ha prezzo...La colazione ricca e gustosa e come si usa in Turchia, tutto accompagnato da un buonissimo tè. Lo staff è gentile e accogliente, molto disponibile.

Location - walking distance to Topkapi Palace, Sultanahmet Mosque and Hagia Sophia. - Close to eateries
None
Ottima posizione, vicina a ristoranti, luoghi di interesse e dal tram. Staff dell'hotel gentile, un po' più scorbutici quelli del ristorante.
Colazione con prodotti di bassa qualità e sempre identica; a volte si ha l'impressione che i prodotti vengano riutilizzati. Il cappuccino ci è stato servito freddo due volte su quattro. La camera aveva un odore un po' sgradevole in bagno e sia la doccia che il lavandino perdono acqua in modo copioso. Inoltre, le finestre sono vecchie e una è addirittura rotta, rendendo impossibile chiuderla. Tutto sommato esperienza non negativa, alla fine i letti erano comodi e la posizione buona, ma non ci tornerei, soprattutto non a quel prezzo.
Персонал, очень отличный, помогает во всём и советует
Номер был, очень старый требует ремонта.

The Sea front restaurant Was nice n the staff were lovely. But we only had drinks
Location
Accueil chaleureux, rapide et très réactif. Le personnel dans sa globalité était vraiment top (accueil, entretien, restauration). Gros plus également sur la propreté et le confort des lits.
Po wejściu do pokoju oraz przez cały pobyt było ciepło, a czasami nawet gorąco. Wygodne materacy i duże łóżka. Smaczne śniadanie
Brak gorącej wody, była ledwo ciepła; wszystko słychać co się dzieje na korytarzu oraz na podwórku; stan pokoju i łazienki wymaga remontu: pleśń w łazience, poszarpane drzwi, meble....; Śniadanie smaczne, ale mocno ograniczony wybór, brak ciast, brak możliwości samemu zrobić kawę/herbatę
El desayuno está muy bien. Opciones calientes y frías. Café espresso de máquina, no la típica agua sucia. Excelente trato del personal.
Parece un hotel con sus años. Solo recomendaría que la TV sea Smart, para poder tener más opciones para quienes no hablamos turco.
Rooftop restaurant is very good
Sauberkeit, TV funktioniert nicht
La zona es estupenda. Las vistas del restaurante son magníficas. La habitación y el baño espaciosos y limpios.
Un día no nos hicieron la cama ni limpiaron el baño. Los trabajadores son correctos pero no simpáticos.
It was all super,perfect location perfect view from rooftop!!
- Freundliches Personal - Umfangreiches Frühstück - Sunset Bootstour über das Hotel gebucht (EMPFEHLUNG!) - Leichter Check-in und Check-Out - Lage Top: Es gibt viele Bars und Restaurants (auch wenn diese sehr touristisch und teuer sind!)
- Das Zimmer fiel quasi auseinander. Als wir ankamen war die Tür zur Dusche nicht eingehängt und die Klopapierhakterung fiel nach ca. 2 Tagen ab - Wir waren im Edgeschoss untergebracht und es war extrem laut, da die Fenster nicht abgedichtet sind. Man konnte Leute vorbeigehen und Autos vorbeifahren hören als ob keine Wand dazwischen wäre
Хороший та ввічливий персонал, дуже близько до Блакитної мечеті.

Location, kind staff
Restaurant was really expensive
Great place, very good and delicious breakfast and the staff were very hostile and polite. Would definetly recommend.
I have been coming here for a long time and I am always satisfied with this area. There are excellent opportunities for walking and shopping, and it can be a starting point for historical sightseeing....good place....the roof terrace is an excellent place for breakfast, lunch or dinner, but also just for a glass of beer.
Perhaps one thing that is less here compared to other hotels in the immediate vicinity is the breakfast selection. If I look at the price and the service I received, it is absolutely fine. However, if you want six types of cold cuts, ham or bacon with your eggs, or 3 types of fruit juice...with five types of pastries.....don't have breakfast here. This is just information, everything was fine for us. As for the staff, the restaurant has excellent, friendly waiters. Ali is the boss at the reception..... He is a good guy. The young girl and the night man colleague couldn't believe that I had already paid for the stay in the morning, even the remaining part that Mr. Ali had released......If I won't even mention this little inconvenience..... So it was fine for me...
Location and the roof top panoramic view of the landmark Mosques and the Bosphorus..
la posizione
prenotata camera x tre deluxe . La porta non si chiudeva, quando è stato fatto notare ci hanno detto di uscire e che avrebbero risolto. al rientro la porta era chiusa e noi uscivamo da una camera comunicante. la camera non è mai stata rifatta ne pulita in 4 giorni. Le luci della camera non funzionavano ( ad eccezione della lampadina del comodino e del bagno) lo abbiamo fatto notare e chi è stato risposto che la lampadina del letto funzionava. Di conseguenza non era semplice ricaricare i telefoni . Non si accendeva la tv. Non funzionava il frigo bar. Una volta fatto un te non rifacendo le camere non ci sono tate lavate le tazze non è stato rimesso il te... c'era un forte odore di fogna. Abbiamo chiesto che ci cambiassero la camera e hanno detto che avevano solo doppie. ( l'hotel era vuoto quindi non era credibile) .La colazione inesistente. non commento i prodotti so che eravamo in turchia e non pretendevo una colazione all'occidentale , ma le mozzarelline gialle l'insalata del giorno prima , la torta sempre uguale in 4 giorni ( nel senso che era proprio la stessa) non erano accettabili. essendo poi solo noi come clienti gli ultimi due giorni non hanno neanche più preparato il buffet x la colazione. semplicemente ci portavano cose a loro discrezione sul tavolo senza chiedere nulla. Il personale della colazione che non parlava inglese ..... cigliegina sulla torta l'ultima notte hanno deciso di fare dei lavori all'ingresso e x TUTTA LA NOTTE hanno martellato e usato martello pneumatico. I lavori sono finiti alle 7 di mattina. quindi notte completamente insonne!! non era la prima volta per me a istanbul e rispetto

Kedves személyzet, tisztaság!
Zajos környék!
Zentrale Lage, nettes Personal
die Kissen waren leider unbequem. Das Frühstückskonzept hat uns auch nicht gefallen.
The hotel is in an excellent location in the old part of Istanbul. The breakfast was varied, and the view from the terrace is breathtaking.
However, the cleanliness is not at a satisfactory level. The room initially assigned to us was not suitable for staying with a small child. It was very poorly maintained. The worst part was the bathroom, which was extremely dirty. After we requested that the room either be cleaned or changed, and after they checked it themselves, they eventually assigned us new rooms.
We lived the location and the rooms are clean! Extra points for the the very very comfortable bed mattress! Staff helpful and kind !
I think the breakfast as a service should be a bit upgraded ☺️
Отличное местоположение, хорошие завтраки, внимательный персонал
Старенький ремонт, шумная улица по ночам
