Sofia Konaklama

Pros: Very pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. Special thanks to Abdullah, who was very kind and helpful throughout our stay.

Excellent experience

Pros: Very cozy place, great location close to many sights! And Abdallah at the reception was super helpful and friendly! Thank you for everything!

If you're too picky, it may not be for you

Pros: The staff is awesome. Abdullah, the manager, is a great and caring host. He was very helpful all the time, providing valuable suggestions on what to see, where to go, how to go, etc. Top tier concierge! I leave here my appreciation again, our trip wouldn't be the same if wasn't you. The cleaning lady don't speak English, but, by gesture and greetings, seemed to be also a good person. Room related, it's basic, but, overall, comfortable enough as a place to sleep. The localization shines, as it's near a train station, allowing to easily move around the city. Also, close to lot of touristic places in Sultanahmet. One thing worth mention is a mosque right next to the building, so, be ready to all pray moments as it make wake you. Though some may consider it a downside, from my point of view, the guest should be open minded to respect all traditions and get used to it while visiting Istanbul.

Cons: The walls are a bit thin, you can hear whenever someone enters/leaves the building. It's even louder when someone passes near the door, you can hear as it's in the room. The shower door is only \

I recently stayed at Sofia Konaklama in Istanbul and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel is extremely well located

Pros: I recently stayed at Sofia Konaklama in Istanbul and had a very pleasant experience. The hotel is extremely well located, making it easy to get around the city and explore Istanbul’s main attractions. The property is clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Although the rooms could benefit from having TVs, this did not take away from the overall quality of the stay. The true highlight was the exceptional service provided by Abdallah Ahmed. He went out of his way on numerous occasions to help, always welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. His attitude and willingness to assist made my stay especially enjoyable. A huge thank you to Abdallah—his level of service is rare, and the owner should be very proud to have such a dedicated and professional member of staff. I have stayed in many hotels around the world and have rarely encountered such outstanding hospitality. I hope to return in the future and sincerely hope Abdallah is still there.

Pros: Abdullah has been very helpful during our trip. Close contact since we touched ground and on where to take train and metro to his hotel. Detail guidiance, very helpfyl Strategic location. If you do not mind abit of walking. Most attractions is reachable within walking distance - sultan Ahmed Mosque, Grand Bazzar. Ferry terminal is reachedable by bus Lots of convinient storwe restaurants around. The room space is good for 2. Just next to the Marmare sea. Beautiful sunrise view if weather is good

Cons: Wall is a bit thin.

Comfortable and beautiful

Pros: Very nice hotel. Clear, comfortable and luxury interior. Personal is friendly. Thank you Abdullah !

Historical style in a great location

Pros: I loved the style of this old building with all its wood panelling. I also loved the wonderful manager, Abdullah. He works very hard and is on site 24/7. The tiled bathrooms are very beautiful. The location is brilliant. Just a short walk or bus ride from the Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, and Hagia Sophia: very close to Kumkapi train station. Walking distance from Yenikapi Ferry Terminal. Shops and restaurants are all very close by.

Cons: The window curtains could be fuller. I felt that people might be able to see into the room (at the front of the building) from the street. Soundproofing is poor, so consideration for other guests is important.

Beautiful, stylish & old apartment block. Convenient to facilities & transport

Pros: Comfortable bed & friendly, helpful staff. Close to amazing places to eat & public transport.

Cons: My particular room was vey high up the stairs & felt a bit scary.

really cozy and nice central spot

Pros: the host was very kind and helpful. the room was cozy and clean. very well taken care of property.

Cons: the loud morning prayer from the mosque woke us up but that's to be expected and not fault of the hotel

Pros: Great location. Everything is close by. Easy to go around. The staff was really nice, really polite and helpful. We had a little mosque next door to pray fajr.
