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.

    Hagia Sophia itself is impressive, I certainly wouldn't recommend the so-called "museum," which is ridiculously overpriced and basically just a long, ridiculous video in a bunch of different rooms, played at the volume of a rock concert. Go watch a documentary. You'll learn a lot more.

    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.

    Excellent small modern hotel, clean room, comfortable bed and great shower. The modern deco and mirrors in the room stood out well. The room is on the small size but the beds are big and very comfy. Staffs are very warm and friendly. Thank you to Han for welcoming us and to Umit who has been very helpful. Breakfast on the 5th floor terrace was a treat with beautiful views. The No12 coffee shop with the hotel was relaxing. Location is very central to Hagia Sophia and Blue mosque and lots of shops and restaurants close by.

    Location! In the centre of town. We could see hagia sophia and Blue Mosque from our room. 3 min walk to both of them. Bus tours, right next to it, grand bazaar 10min walk. Comfortable beds. Very helpful and friendly stuff. Decor is a bit outdated, but it can be seen as characteristic to this hotel. There is a restaurant on the top floor (with a nice view) but we didn't eat.

    Great location, with short walk, up hill,to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and a little further the tram stop. Lost of good restaurants right outside the hotel. People on reception very friendly and helpful. We had a room on a lower floor, that had an extra bed, so was spacious. We were offered, after unpacking, a room with a view of the Bosphorus, however it was much smaller,so we stayed put. Perfectly good hotel for the price, especially as you spe d most of the day out sightseeing or eating. Would stay here again

    The hotel is a beautiful historical building situated in a fantastic location for seeing all the sites. Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Cistern Bascilla were only a 5 minute walk, tram station was also only 5 minutes away. The room was very comfortable and the shower was modern. The staff were amazing! They really made this place a stand out from our trip touring Turkey. I will definitely be staying here again if I go back.

Very friendly and helpful owner. Do not have a parking but the owner set me up a safe spot 20 meters away from the hotel for a very fair day price.

    It is very near to Sultanamet Square where most of the tourist spots are located like Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the Basilica Cistern, even the Grand Bazaar is quiet near. There are also a lot of restaurants and establishments in the area. Public transport is very accesible. The hotel can also help you book tours and activities if you want to go to other places outside Istanbul.
