The Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel enjoys an unbeatable location, with the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern just a short walk away; the proximity to the tram line also makes it easy to reach other parts of the city. Guests often highlight the well-appointed rooms, some of which offer views of the historic district. While the breakfast offers a great variety, some guests felt that it could include more continental options.

Convenient Location with Excellent Service

central locationhelpful staffquiet environmentweak air conditioning
the hotel had an excellent central location near many attractions. the staff were kind and helpful, especially eren mawda, who arranged a late check-out for me. i appreciated the quiet environment due to the road being closed to traffic. i found the wellness center and pool to be a great added benefit.
The air conditioning was not strong enough. It made the room uncomfortably warm. i think this is a problem that needs to be addressed.
