Loved by Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel guests
"I stayed here for one night on a long layover to do some quick sightseeing in Istanbul, and I wish I could have stayed longer to enjoy the room more and try out the tub in the room with views of Hagia Sophia!"
"The garden is very beautiful with all kinds of flowers surrounding it, Breakfast is delicious with plenty of choices sadly since I'm on a strict keto diet I could not enjoy it as they do not offer gluten-free dishes or bread."

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.
