Staff was very helpful. The breakfast buffet was so bountiful that they ran out of room for the food on the buffet. Our room was clean and there was a nice playground nearby for our little one. We will definitely return!

The property was in excellent shape, and the staff (Manager) were very attentive and helpful. Although there was no elevator, we got help carrying the luggage to our room. The room was a little bit small but very clean and comfortable.
Alfredo, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We stayed at this hotel for three nights and had a wonderful experience overall. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming and their hospitality truly stood out. They were always helpful and ready to assist with anything we needed. The only downside was that the room felt a bit small for us but everything else made up for it. A cozy place with great service in a perfect location.
Dhuha, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Friendly stuff made our stay enjoyable. Thank you.
khoilog, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The nicest staff I have ever dealt with. I noticed for myself one thing that the street the hotel is on doesn’t have many cars passing by so it’s pretty quite compare to other areas. All clean rooms and hotel itself. Great stay overall. Rooms a bit small but bathroom is good size. We didn’t stay in room for long so didn’t care much about the room size.
Ksenia, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Ayasofya Hotel way just perfect for us, it’s very clean, situated in Fatih near sultanahmet square, you can go down to the sea, up to the historical places, not far away from Bayazit also you could easily go into the other side of Galata tower(Tasksim) easily. The staffs are very nice and welcoming. First day we arrived at 1AM the reception still open, there was a mismatch between our reservation from Expedia and what they have in their system but it wasn’t a problem and they gave us a better room. I highly recommend this Hotel.
