Stayed here for our Chrismas and new year holiday. It was hugely disappointing from beginning to end. The breakfast prices are crazy for what's on offer. And good luck getting coffee breakfast. This staff seems to only be focused and moving quickly when it's time to close down the breakfast buffet. The biggest problem by far is the minibar staff.... More

This review is only for the Nisantasi Sanitas spa at the Sofa Hotel. If nothing else, a spa experience should be relaxing; unfortunately, our experience here didn't meet that basic standard. We pre-booked two concurrent massage appointments, but upon arrival, we found out that the staff had only recorded one. They were able to squeeze us both in, but my... More

We checked into this hotel thinking that it is chic and everything will be luxurious for our New Years event. We are not impressed. It looks nice but there is some kind of a solvent/cleaning product smell when you are waiting at the reception. I would not expect that from a luxury hotel. The price is too high for the... More

I will start off by saying that this is the first time I've felt compelled to write a negative review on Trip Advisor. First the positive: The hotel is very cool, and the room was super comfortable. I especially loved the chaise longue in my room. Also, the bath products were great. But watch those prices! I was told when... More

I recently traveled to Istanbul in the off-season with a college friend; we are both in our late 20s. We planned to spend our entire visit in hotels in Sultanahmet but realized after two days there that we needed a change of scenery. So we changed our reservation for our last three nights in the city to the Sofa, and... More

The Sofa Hotel in Istanbul is a great hotel pick! I strongly recommend it! It is centrally located, on a very lively shopping street, rooms and facilities are amazing, hotel staff and concierge services are so helpful and polite and it has a very good price for what it has to offer! So I would say that it should be... More

I stayed for 3 nights in October 2012 as part of a work 'jolly'. The hotel itself is actually very, errrr, stylish I guess. I know it sounds strange but the first thing I noticed when I arrived was the lovely smell. Its chocolaty.... Anyway, I had what I assume was a standard room and it was excellent except for... More

We returned to the Sofa after a delightful stay in 2009. This time my daughter and I travelled alone. Although I have basic turkish and friends near by I was still slightly daunted to be travelling without my husband. I choose Sofa again not just because of the good experience that I had on my first visit but because I... More

I stayed at The Sofa last week and it was very satisfying. The hotel is in an excellent location for women like myself as it is located in the middle of luxury shopping. Rooms are comfortable, spacious and chic. Staff is very good, personal attention to the details. Spa is great and they are running a good promotion for the... More
