Room was comfortable and clean. The younger man that works the bar in the evening was not friendly also the desk agent that checked me in was far from friendly! Not even a welcome or a smile came out of her. The breakfast wasn’t great tried having breakfast on two occasions and had to leave. Great hotel to stay as long as you eat outside the hotel. Oh I had a spa treatment all the staff in the spa area was very nice,. VR..

Great choice for your stay in Old Town Istanbul. Very accessible to Tram as well as all the touristic sights. The available breakfast buffet offers a wide range of choices. The on-site bar is a good after a long day of site seeing. The staff is beyond helpful. It is easy to feel like part of the family very quickly.

Sura Hagia Hotel.

I had a fantastic stay at Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel! From the moment I arrived, the hospitality was top-notch. The staff was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and always ready to assist with any request. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and other major attractions in Sultanahmet. It made exploring Istanbul so convenient. The hotels ambiance was good. Oh! the bed was comfortable. Housekeeping did a great job ensuring everything was spotless and well-stocked.

I had a 2 day loft which was very spacious with a good view of the Hagia Sofia. I extended my stay to a standard room. It was okay. This hotel is walking distance to all major attractions. Downside is the rooms are not soundproof. I was able to hear conversations from the other rooms. On my last 2 nights children were running back and forth from upstairs room at late evening hours. Everytime someone exited the rooms you can hear the impact. The staff were very nice. Thanks to the staff who made the hotel pleasant.
