Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly memorable, thanks to its excellent location right near Istanbul's historic sites. The rooms were cozy and clean, perfect for a friend getaway, and the staff went out of their way to assist us with everything we needed. However, the layout of the room had some quirks that might not work for everyone. The breakfast offerings were delightful and set us up for the day. It was an overall enjoyable experience, although the room layout could use some improvement.
The hotel is well-situated for exploring Istanbul's key attractions, providing a comfortable yet compact room. Although the shower layout could use improvement, the staff's attentiveness and the delightful breakfast certainly uplift the overall experience. However, some issues with air conditioning were disappointing, which affected our comfort during the stay.
My stay at the Boutique Saint Sophia Hotel was truly enjoyable, with a prime position right in the heart of Istanbul. The rooms were small but clean and had a lovely balcony view of the Blue Mosque. The dining experience offered a limited breakfast selection, which was a bit of a letdown. The service was excellent, with the staff being extremely helpful throughout my stay. Overall, it's a charming hotel with great location benefits, although the room sizes might not be the best for everyone.
