Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel exceeded our expectations in every way! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and always went the extra mile to ensure our comfort. Our room was beautifully appointed, impeccably clean, and offered stunning views. The location is absolutely perfect, within easy walking distance of major attractions like the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Breakfast was a delicious and varied spread, offering something for everyone. We particularly appreciated the hotel's quiet and peaceful ambiance, providing a welcome respite after a day of sightseeing. The overall experience was truly luxurious and relaxing. We highly recommend Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel for anyone looking for a memorable stay in Istanbul. We can't wait to return!

The location is very good, walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia in less than 10 minutes. It is also closed to the tram station. Many restaurants next to the hotel, but they server almost all the same foods. Property is good. Room is on the small size for standard room. The shampoo dispenser is broken and they did not fix it after I told them for the 4 days that I stayed there. The AC does not seem to be that cool. Overall, it is OK but have room for improvements.

Great location. Staffs are helpful. But the hotel is average - in pictures it looks pretty impressive but it is not. We had to change rooms twice - once because their so called penthouse room is more of an attic and then once because of strange smell coming out from the bathroom. The rooms are tiny and awkward. It is a few minutes walk from St Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, and Basilica Cistern.

Amazing stay in the heart of Istanbul. Walking distance from Hagia Sofia and Blue Mosque. Very good restaurants around. The staff of the hotel was very forthcoming, specially Fatemeh and Mustafa. but the amazing Murat the hairdresser knows his job very good. He made my mums hair very nice and she has a really difficult hairstyle. Big thank you to every staff member of the hotel (Spa also) for making our stay so memorable. See you very soon!

The property it self is lovely. That staff are amazing and look after you well, even after checking out they still looked out for us until we finally got our taxi. The food is lovely, selection of different foods available for breakfast. The only let down is the the surrounding restaurants, hassle you as your walking past to eat at their place.

We stayed here for 5 nights.We had a basement room which was spacious however the hallway smelt of urine which wasn’t pleasant. But our room had an outdoor area, housekeeping was done constantly, bathtub was mouldy. Bed had pen squiggles on it but it was a comfortable bed not the best pillows. TV programmes need to be updated. We had another room in the basement which wasn’t very spacious. Had a baby cot in there. Very tight and hot no balcony but the staff upgraded our room free of charge. They decorated the room for us for a family members birthday. Staff were okay, friendly. We made an amazing friend with the spa manager Sezure he was such a pleasant man. Constantly helped us and always had a conversation and a laugh. We had the hamam and massage it was really relaxing however as a Muslim woman there were men in the area which wasn’t appropriate for us. But other than that it was decent. Room service was ok too. Would recommend for short stays as everything is walking distance. Front door men were very helpful.

This was my 3rd stay at sura and I do love that it’s so local to great attractions and easy access to team. The staff was very helpful and always ready to help with a smile. The area is safe and full of hustle bustle till late at night. At breakfast the staff namely Hassan abdullah and Ahmer really looked after us and were so accommodating. Fatima who is at front desk very helpful and lovely lady The rooms and bathrooms are very clean and cleaned daily on your stay. Only negative I feel is that in this particular room ( we had a triple) the bathroom has 2 interior walls ok so you can hear when someone is in the bathroom and no hooks for clothes in the bathroom( maybe as all glass)

The hotel is nice but the English spoken is very limited even at reception. The concierge however are great. The breakfast was not worth the money and not good at all. Coffee was terrible selection is very limited, no service. Room service was ok but very expensive for basic food. Housekeeping was not good they didn’t clean properly at all, left old food and room service from the night before in the room. Our room was in the 2nd floor no wheelchair access. Paper cups instead of normal crockery for coffee, no milk only powered. No iron in rooms, not nearly enough cupboards nor drawers we lived out of our suitcases.
