We had a fantastic stay here in this hotel. The location could not have been better, as we were within walking distance of all the main tourist attractions. It was so convenient to be in the heart of the city and surrounded by the historical landmarks. The service provided by the staff was exceptional. They were always kind, helpful, and attentive to our needs. We especially want to thank Lokman for his outstanding assistance. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed. We loved the abundance of natural light and the sleek interior. The bed was comfortable and we had a great night's sleep. The double glazed windows effectively blocked out any noise from outside, including the call to prayer. We also enjoyed the delicious breakfast, which included made-to-order eggs and a harp player to create a lovely atmosphere.
In terms of cons, there is really nothing negative to say about this place. We highly recommend it to everyone.

The hotel is located in a historical area, right next to famous tourist attractions like Hagia Sophia and there is a tram station nearby. The room was spacious, clean, and had a beautiful view overlooking the patio. The bathroom amenities were limited but sufficient, and the water pressure was excellent. The staff were friendly and efficient, going above and beyond to provide exceptional service. The breakfast offered a variety of options and the waiters were very kind. The hotel also offered complimentary mini-bar drinks and afternoon tea.
The hair dryer provided in the room was not of good quality.

The hotel is very conveniently located in the heart of the city, making it easy to explore all the famous sights. It is just a short walk from the Sultanahmet tramway stop, allowing for effortless transportation. The staff are also knowledgeable and can provide helpful recommendations on what to see in the area. The rooms are modern and stylish, with comfortable beds and great showers. Guests also rave about the delicious and filling breakfast served in the courtyard.
Some guests had difficulty finding the hotel due to road closures in the evening, but the staff were quick to assist and provide alternative directions.

I had an amazing stay here. The hotel was clean, and the facilities were great. The location, situated on a slope with cobblestone steps, was within walking distance of all the main monuments. Plus, it was very close to the tram station, making it easy to explore the city. The breakfast was delicious, and the staff was so friendly and helpful.
There was nothing I didn't like.

They were always willing to assist with any queries or requests. The location of the hotel was fantastic, situated close to major attractions and within walking distance of restaurants, markets, and shops. It was convenient for exploring the city. The breakfast provided at the hotel was enjoyable, offering a good selection of items. It was a great way to start the day before heading out to explore.
The bathrooms in the rooms could have done with more privacy. The lack of a proper wall between the bathroom and the room was a bit inconvenient.

The hotel's location was perfect, with easy access to all the main historical sites. The staff was friendly, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. One particular instance stood out to us; as we were getting ready to explore the city, the staff offered us umbrellas when it started to rain. Their thoughtfulness and attention to detail made a difference. The rooms weresuper clean and cozy, and the breakfast spread was ample, providing us with the energy we needed for our adventures. Despite a few minor drawbacks, such as the lack of soundproofing and the temperature control issue, we had a wonderful time at Boutique Saint Sophia. we highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting the beautiful city of Istanbul.

The location is perfect, within walking distance from all major monuments and attractions in the center of the city, in a very convenience area, and in Sultanahmet neighborhood. The staff provides first-class service, always willing to help and quickly try to fix any problems. The room amenities are amazing, such as the mini-bar and the in-room safe.
