Elasophia Hotel

We liked everything!

Pros: Perfect location in the center of the old town. Professional staff that will solve all your problems, very clean, delicious breakfast.

Cons: If you want complete silence, this isn't for you. You can hear the tram and voice on the street. For my family with a child it wasn't a problem.

Great value for the money.

Pros: Room was small but cozy, breakfast was really good, location was great. Bed was comfortable. I visited Istanbul a month later and decided to try a different hotel with a view of the water and was disappointed, at the comparable price Elasophia was just better across the board.

Cons: One night there people downstairs 2 am having loud conversations and laughing which woke me up.

Pros: We really enjoy our stay in this hotel. The location is in the heart of Istambul near Hagia Sophia and other historical lend marks. Musafer and Mustafa was very nice, hospitality and helpful. Room was not too big, but cozy and clean. Breakfasts served in the very authentic restaurant, the food is classic turkish, tasty and fresh.

Cons: The only downside was the tram track repairs at night, it was hard to sleep without earplugs.

Pros: Amazing! Perfect location, room cleaning everyday, great breakfast and very pleasant hotel staff always ready to help.

Good experience. Just few steps from the famous places

Pros: The manager upgraded my room for free because I have my small kid with me. Staffs are so friendly.

Cons: Cozy hotel

Will choose this spot for stay the next time I’m in Sultanahmet.

Pros: I loved the location of the property; it is a small hotel located next to the Hagia Sofia. The facilities and amenities are superb. The breakfast spread was very diverse and good. The restaurant below is very accessible and the staff are friendly.

Cons: There is not much to not like but the cable TV wasn’t working during my stay; this didn’t affect me much however, given I was out exploring most of the time.

Amazing location, clean, superb & friendly hosts!

Pros: Amazing location, clean, superb & friendly hosts!

I would come back!

Pros: Excellent location and very friendly front office staff! Very clean! The hotel's prime spot places guests within immediate walking distance of all major historic attractions in Istanbul, including Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern. The central position also ensures easy access, with the port and the vibrant Egyptian Bazaar both less than a 15-minute walk away. Breakfast was great with a really good choice of fresh food!

Cons: I found the pillows too soft for my liking, and keeping the windows open resulted in noticeable traffic noise. Furthermore, guests should be prepared for the early morning prayer calls, which are audible due to the hotel's location. However, this is entirely normal when staying so close to iconic landmarks like Hagia Sophia. If you are prepared for it, the sounds of the city can truly add a memorable, authentic layer to your holiday experience!

Pros: We had a wonderful stay! The hotel offered a fantastic Turkish breakfast with a great variety and delicious flavors. The room was very clean, and the location was perfect — right next to all the main attractions in Istanbul, which made it easy to explore the city on foot. The staff were extremely polite, helpful, and always smiling, making us feel truly at home. The value for money was excellent. We would definitely recommend this place and would love to stay here again!

Good accommodation, location, food and staff very helpful and friendly.

Pros: Breakfast is excellent. Good variety of foods. Drinks were good choice. The room was good. Had all the facilities I required. Staff very friendly and helpful. Location is first class to see sites.

Cons: Nothing much.
