Conveniently located hotel

Well located hotel made it easy to walk to Blue Mosque, Aya Sofia, and much more. Room was ground floor, subject to street noise. Ensuite bath was clean, but had plumbing isse that was not resolved during my stay (constant leak in toilet). Breakfast was filling and tasty - including items not normally considered breakfast foods (salad?) Room lights needed attention by electrician - flickering occasionally.

Super sejour bien situé

Sejour tres agreable L'hotel est simple mais les chambres sont bien equipees, plutot spacieuses et propre. L'emplacement à 5min a pied de la mosquee est un plus. Large choix au petit dejeuner. 2 arrets de Tramway proche. Plusieurs resto autour. Le personnel a été chaleureux et bienveillant. Le spa en partenariat avec l'hotel est super. Il faudrait juste dire aux clients d'arreter le bruit dans la salle commune aprés 22h.

Компактный отель в историческом центре

Останавливались в отеле на 4 ночи. Отель расположен в 5 минутах ходьбы от площади Султанахмет, при этом в тихом районе.Отель не большой, номер тоже не большой, но есть все необходимое: сейф, мини холодильник, чайник, чайные принадлежности, бутилированная вода, туалетные принадлежности, полотенца, все своевременно пополнялось. Персонал дружелюбный, завтрак континентальный с 8 до 10.30. Рядом много кафе, есть супермаркеты. До остановки трамвая №1 несколько минут пешком. Единственный недостаток - шумоизоляция, номер был на первом этаже, слышимость с улицы как будто окна открыты нараспашку, хорошо, что улочки тихие. В остальном размещение понравилось, приятно провели время.

Bof bof

L hôtel est idéalement situé dans le quartier sultanahmet. Les chambres sont nettoyees tous les jours . Mais ça s'arrête la La Chambre est minuscule. Rien a, voir avec les photos du site Le petit déjeuner est ridicule. Sur le site de réservation il était marque soins spa. Or en fait il propose un Tarif préférentiel pour un hammam attrape touristes. Je n'en garderai pas un souvenir impérissable

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.
