Overall our stay at the hotel was excellent! We got the room with a balcony facing the Hagia Sophia and honestly, I don’t think you could have gotten a better view of it. Coffee was good and they provided plenty of water, which was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Bed was comfortable. Bedroom slippers were good too. They provided bath towels and hand towels but I do wish face towels were provided too. I also found the shower floor a bit slippery.

Fantastic location. Great referral to a guide!
The location in the old city made it a great choice. With a 5-minute walk to the Hagia Sophia, we were thrilled with its convenience. The room was spacious and comfortable for two friends to share. What added to the experience was the tour guide the hotel arranged for us to do a private tour. Not only did he know his stuff, turns out he trained many of the guides running group tours. I doubt we would have found such an exceptional guide on our own.

Good Location, but Hotel Could Improve
The hotel is well located. The breakfast is excellent and the staff and friendly and helpful. However, the recommended restaurants are not very good, there was no or limited hot water and the local taxis booked by the hotel are not always reliable. I had one especially bad experience with a taxi driver who did not know where he was going and ended up charging more than double what he had quoted. I travel a lot internationally (every few weeks) and stay in many hotels all over the world. For a boutique hotel, the St. Sophia is good, but still needs considerable work to be great. If location is what you desire, then a great choice. Otherwise, there may be better value propositions elsewhere.
