Hagia Sophia
In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can explore its vast structure from the inside with a visit to the museum that’s now housed within the walls.

They turned this museum into a mosque under Erdogan.
They turned this museum into a mosque under Erdogan. It has been a museum for almost 100 years, but now it is a mosque and you are not allowed to go and explore the place inside, but are confined to a small space at the ground floor of the building. Very, very sad!!

There are many many well dressed VERY friendly and helpful men willing to show you around, avoid them, do not talk to them! They are all trying to sell you something. They can get aggressive if you engage them and the try to leave, best to avoid them and keep walking.

Definitely gone down since it was turned back into a mosque from its museum status. You can't walk around snd see much of the things you were able to see before. The mosaics and freezes have been covered over again and the balconies are now out of bounds.

We had a nice tour but all of the religious items are covered. It use to be a museum but is now a mosque. However, there is a very beautiful mosque nearby, the blue Mosque, so would have been nice to see the Byzantine church in its glory. There is a great museum of Hagia Sophia that gives you information on the history and it's one of the most high tech museums I have encountered, highly recommend it.

Now that the Hagia Sofia has been designated as a mosque, entrance is free and the queues are horrendous. Try to get there before the crowds, even if it means missing breakfast - or join a reasonable-priced guided tour and skip queuing.

its such a disappointment that when I visited Hagia Sophia in 2019, it was a monument and now it has been converted to a operating mosque. in fact it looks like that this great country, which was built by great leader like Kamal Ata Turk with its liberal traditions, is getting more fundamental. as a monument too, since there are restrictions on visiting hours, it was disappointing.

The hotel is very comfy, near Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, 10 minutes away. The staff is very friendly and usefull with and Information you need and we received a map of Istanbul. The room was clean, every day the towels were changed and the room was cleaned. We felt like home and we would like to come back some day. Istanbul is a great city.
It’s very in the center of Istanbul, near bazaar, Hagia Sophia, blue mosque and tram. The facilities of the hotel are very okay and clean with complimentary water. The highlight of our stay are the staff. Osman and Memet are very helpful and friendly especially Osman that lent his railway card for the metro and assist me in my e sim. He is amazing! He gave us tips and good deals for our tour package here. Highly recommend guys 👍🏽👍🏽
Hotel is freshly renovated, clean and cozy. Comfortable beds, AC , kettle and fridge in every room. Short walking distance to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar. Close to tram and train stops. Exxellent choice with good price. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. Staff is kind and allways helpful. Special thanks to mr. Ramadan! Greetings from Estonia!
Fabulous hotel a great find. Opposite a lovely park - quiet but walking distance to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and lots of restaurants. Opposite a lovely park, very clean and the manager, Emir and all staff extremely helpful and friendly. Was sad to leave.

Thank you!
What can I say.what a fabulous hotel.the rooms are fantastic and the bathrooms are even better.i have stayed in many hotels in sultanahmet but this one beats all of them even sura hagia sophia.
The location is fantastic. Very close to Hagia Sophia. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We lost one of our luggage at the airport and they liased with the airport staff to find and send it back to us at the hotel. Istanbul hospitality at its best.
A great hotel, everything was very good, tours about Istanbul were recommended to us, we were very satisfied, the staff is very polite, I definitely recommend it to everyone, the location is very good, very close to public transportation and cultural venues, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, Sultanahmet Mosque, Topkapi Palace.
A great little hotel in Sultanahmet within 5 minutes walk Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque.
The hospitality of the staff is excellent, very friendly and attentive. They are happy to book your airport transfers and help with suggestions and bookings. Breakfast is excellent - a good selection of continental/Turkish style buffet, with a selection of cooked options. Would definitely stay again if we return to Istanbul.

What guests said about Hagia Sophia:
Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside
Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside. Avoid the huge tour group queues & go straight to the top of the line, else you'll wait for hours. I was in (in both places), in 10 minutes without being pushy.

Called a "Hamam", the recently renovated hamam between the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosk is second to none
Lots of people everywhere and fantastic food. Having the Turkish bath experience is not to be missed. Called a "Hamam", the recently renovated hamam between the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosk is second to none.
