The breakfast was very good. All the staff in the restaurant were very good but it made the difference the charmingness and the kindness of Mr. Hasan who was exceptional with his kindness and knowing how to please us! Also, all the reception staff were very good, helping and advising us in all our demands. However, stand out to us the personality and charmingness of Abdullah. but all the other personnel i.e. Mohamed, Aydin, and Furkan were helpful. Our rooms were very good and had all the facilities that we needed.

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.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

    Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

    Oh, what a delight.

    Oh, what a delight. I’m an open minded Christian so I appreciate such a wonderful and special place is still in place. You have to admitted if it wasn’t the Muslims it (probably) shared the fate of Acropolis. Is a wonder it does not crumble during times. Really. I was not able to take two straight pictures in a row, such a marvel of architecture is it, patch after patch. Is not the Pantheon, is not Basilica di San Pietro, but is still there. I also have to appreciate they respect the history and prior faith and do not cover part of the old (Christinas) paintings.

    The history is stunning and the main room is beautiful as well as the mosaics. However, I was underwhelmed considering they now charge to go in and you cannot go on the main floor (a result of it being turned into a mosque). Also the carpet choice doesn't help with the overall site. I think the other mosques were better. Also, there are LONG queues to buy a ticket and then queues to go in. I would recommend going to the Hagia Sophia experience museum (across the Obelisk) and buy tickets there.

    Insanely long lines deterred us, although you can take great shot elsewhere. Whether you are a man or woman, you need to cover up. Ladies with shawl, long sleeves, and down to ankles. Men with pants and at least a t-shirt (no tank tops). Otherwise, no entry.

    Once the seat of Christianity under Constantine the Great where Istanbul's original name came from (Constantinople) Still a very spiritual place where Christianity and Islam combine Worth a visit but go early many, many want to go. Take your time and view the murials on the upper floor

    I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location is amazing – it’s very close to many famous attractions such as Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar. The price is very good, and the room has all the basic necessities. The shower works well with hot water, there is a hairdryer and a kettle, which was very convenient. A huge thanks to the hotel owner, because he replies very quickly to messages, helped me call a taxi with a discount, and even carried my luggage.

    Wasn’t expecting to leave on that side of Istanbul, but we ended up really liking it. The hotel is within walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Beyazid Mosque. The Grand Bazaar and metro line are just a 5-minute walk away. We also discovered plenty of local amenities nearby, from street food vendors to traditional goods shops. The hotel staff were especially helpful in arranging day tours, which we thoroughly enjoyed as a couple.

    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.
