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.

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.

Konumu çok güzel bir yer. Ekip güler yüzlü ve yardımsever. Odalar konforlu ve temiz. Ekip her zaman her konuda yardımcı oluyor. Güvenle kalınacak bir yer. Sultanahmet, Aya Sofya, Topkapı yürüyüş mesafesinde. Çok memnun kaldık. Tekrar görüşmek üzere.

Nuestra estancia que fue increíble la pasamos fenomenal. El ambiente del hotel es cálido, con toques nuevos, pero conservando una una época de seis antigua, las camas son cómodas. El personal es el mejor de toda la ciudad te ayudan en todo, vale la pena que lo consideren en su viaje a Turquía.
