Spectacular Stay
I stayed in Ala Sofia Hotel for three Nights. All the staff was very co operative and Helpful. Especially, the Lady at the counter named BALLAR was very nice, Humble and Helpful person towards us. Our room was in Basement, that was a Nice and spacious room. There was elevator as well to go on different floors.Only one little problem was that it was hard to view outside through the Window. Apart for that, it was wonderful experience to stay with Ala Sofia Hotel. I'll recommend this Hotel to stay if someone visiting Istanbul.

I really liked the service at the hotel, the staff were really helpful and very approachable. The hotel ambience was really nice. The hotel was really near the trams, shops and restaurants. The only issue we had was the room we had reserved was not available when we arrived as there was plumbing issues. Due to that the room we got was small. It was difficult moving around the room with luggage.
