A wonderful, quiet stay with great rooms and friendly staff.

We really loved our stay at this hotel. The family room was very clean and nice, and all of the staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The location was perfect since it is close to everything but hidden on a quiet street, and the breakfast had many healthy options.

− Everything went smoothly that we really don't have any major complaints.

Unvergesslich 👍

Die türkische Gastfreundschaft ist wohlbekannt... Doch das Ayasofya Hotel – Special Class übertrifft alle Erwartungen. Man fühlt sich hier nicht wie in einem Hotel, sondern eher so, als würde man gute Freunde besuchen. Die Atmosphäre ist sehr familiär. Das Hotelpersonal ist kompetent, zuverlässig und hilfsbereit. Vor allem aber sind alle stets freundlich. Ein besonderer Dank gilt Ece; ihre wertvollen Tipps haben uns die Erkundung Istanbuls sehr erleichtert. Das gesamte Hotel ist sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück bietet eine große Auswahl, und eine Köstlichkeit jagt die nächste. Es gibt eine wunderschöne Dachterrasse. Zudem ist das Hotel hervorragend gelegen – direkt neben der Hagia Sophia, der Blauen Moschee, dem Großen Basar und dem Topkapi-Palast. Wir würden ohne zu zögern wiederkommen und erneut hier übernachten.
