This was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. The staff is very prompt, welcoming and professional. In addition, the rooms are beautiful and the hotel is located central to everything needed. I was a solo female traveler and I felt very safe at the Hagia Sofia Mansions and would return to this hotel only when returning to Istanbul. Thank you for such an amazing stay!

Great stay at Hagia Sofia Mansions. Thank you everyone in the staff that made our stay excellent including Olga and Emirhan. The location is the best for touring the main tourist highlights in Istanbul. Our room had a beautiful view of the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. The hotel has two breakfast options, we preferred the Turkish breakfast in the greenhouse. We also met a lovely orange cat called Osman.

Absolutely amazing service and hospitality. Wish would have booked more nights here. Truly felt like a 5 star service immediately from check in. Golf cart to shuttle around to the different parts of the hotel, great location. Room was beautiful. Not much more you can ask for.
