I had stayed at the Ayasofya twice before, and was glad to do so again now that it's under the care of Gaye Reeves. Once we swapped a smaller side room for one of the larger, front, rooms we were happy. The Turkish breakfast is, as other reviewers have mentioned, a bit ho-hum, but Gaye and most of her staff...

I loved staying at this gorgeous boutique hotel. Everything from the Terrace for drinks, cosy breakfast room to the perfect location for walking to Istanbul's major attractions. I stayed in 3 different rooms during separate visits ranging from very small to sharing a suite with another couple and I was happy in all of them even though the bathroom in... More

We have just spent four nights staying at the Ayasofya Hotel and loved every minute of it. Our room was clean and quiet with a large modern bathroom with a super-efficient shower. The staff were all very helpful and friendly and we made a point of starting, and sometimes finishing, our evenings on the hotel terrace with a nice cold... More

The location is PERFECT a 5 minute walk from the tram as well as the main tourist attractions in Sultanahmet. Sitting on the roof terrace with an Efes in hand looking out over the Bosphorus was a real pleasure. But most importantly everyone was really welcoming and extremely kind and helpful! Good people and a good hotel! More

Not my first choice but in an interesting part of town and fairly handy to transportation. But get it at better rate. More

In a nice little area 5-10 mins walk from several of the best attractions in Istanbul, this friendly hotel is in a perfect location. Close enough to the tram stops to get around the interesting spots in the city too. Theres a nice spot on the roof where you can have a wine or beer, and watch the sun set.... More

The room was basic and clean (we got the cheapest one). The staff were all really friendly and welcoming! Breakfast was also decent and everybody was just so wonderful to us. The location is the best part. It was a 5-15 min walk from most tourist attractions. Would definitely live here again and recommend it to others! :) More
