8.2/10 Very Good! (470 reviews)
I really liked the staff members as they provided the best customer service. Location was perfect near all attractions, but breakfast could be way better and for Turkey they could have better quality for food and coffee.

4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
We went in January and did not realize the Mosque was under heavy restoration efforts. The bulk of the work was internal so we missed out on the beautiful tile work inside.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Currently under restoration limited view of the inside ceilings. but still worth a trip
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
this place is over crowded and under construction, looks good from the outside but pointless from the inside.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
It is under construction and you can only see a little of the inside.
3/5 - Okay
Rusty
Undergoing a major renovation. There was almost no line to enter and there was no cost, so I think it was worth the visit, but prepare to be underwhelmed once inside. Don't forget about prayer times. Visitors are not allowed inside during these times. If you can find the times, they are posted outside the mosque.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Almost entirely under reconstruction interiorly- some exterior work being done as well. I recommend waiting 5 years to come.
