Wonderful hotel, amazing food, helpful staff, clean, best possible location for sightseeing and public transport...has a swimming pool, sauna, and steam room - all included, our room was quiet, no complains... can certainly recommend as a great family-friendly hotel.

Need to be a bit more accomodating. Had to wait 5 hours to get a room after a long flight. Food in restaurant was good. Coffee not so much. Good location. Room and bathroom adequate. Pool too small and crowded for swimming. Internet slow.

Front desk girl with braids in her hair was terrible. She doesn’t smile, doesn’t seem like she wants to help guests. Asked her for a wall adapter, she told me to go buy one?! Asked “you guys don’t have any?” She then opened a drawer FULL of them and gave me one. Why? Why are you purposely making guests stay difficult? On top of that, the front desk people are trained to lie (yes I say lie) to every guest by saying “sorry we don’t have an extra key card right now, come back tmrw” which at first I thought was weird until I came back next day and was told same thing. I forcefully asked for an extra key card for the room. Heard others ask for one upon check in only to be told same thing. Pool is very tiny; only about 10 tanning beds and about 5-6 chairs. Went down at 10:10 am (opens at 10am) only to find people put their towels/belongings on the beds to reserve them while they ate breakfast etc. That was super annoying. Also, the view from the room was terrible. You either get a view of the “garden” which is just the sitting area in between the hotel lobby and the pool or at the building across the hotel which is old and nasty. Also, room was very small; smallest of the 3 rooms I have stayed in at 3 different hotels during my stay in Turkey (all being 2 twin bed basic rooms). The only good part of this hotel was location, very close to Hagia Sophia Mosque, the Blue Mosque, train station, and shopping/food districts.

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel is simply superb for an Istanbul getaway. Its location is unbeatable, literally steps from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, with countless restaurants nearby. We easily walked to all major sites – highly recommended! The pool and spa are fantastic for unwinding. While breakfast was just "okay," the rooms were great, offering stunning views of both the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. For comfort, convenience, and those incredible views, this hotel is a top choice in Sultanahmet.

A nice hotel in a great location - we walked to pretty much all the site we wanted to see from here. The room as functional and clean, a little on the small side but fine for us. The facilities are good. The service varied between excellent and grumpy. I personally would avoid the breakfast as it is expensive for what it is and there's a lot of choice nearby.

Wonderful Location.

A great location to visit all the sites in the Old Town of Istanbul! The elevators were odd in the entry point for our rooms required going up a flight of stairs. The concierge was very helpful, especially as we didn’t speak Turkish.

Location is everything

Great location! Good restaurants surrounding hotel. Walking distance to the popular attractions. Hotel was comfortable—no frills, but very satisfactory. Also less than 3 minute walk to the trams which are the best way to get around the city.
