Hotel St Sophia is in an excellent location in Sultanahmet. We arrived in IST and took the Haviest to the hotel. A big thank you to Enes for making our check in and check out so seamless. Our room on the 3rd floor had a spectacular view of the Blue Mosque and was extremely quiet. The breakfast selection was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Excellent location most places (blue mosque, restaurant’s, bazaar market etc) were just a short walk away, room was cleaned every day with clean bedding and towels which was really nice. Staff were very helpful from booking to giving directions and ideas were to visit, also offered a personal guide to show you around for around €200 cash for the day and Taxi to the airport €75 cash approximately. We will definitely be returning!
