The location of the hotel is in the very center of the old city.

The hotel is located in the center of the old town, making it convenient for sightseeing.
The hotel room is very small, the window faces the back alley, and is very close to the windows of other people's homes.
The shower head has rust marks and a hair stuck in it.
The toilet board was old and yellowed, and there were some signs of not being cleaned. I wiped it with disinfectant paper towels.
The ventilation system is very poor. It feels like there is no ventilation. The temperature adjustment can only be turned on and off but cannot adjust the temperature.
The surrounding environment is very noisy, and the door and door of the partition room are very noisy.
There was no air pumping in the bathroom. Due to hygiene issues and the lack of air pumping, we decided to change hotels that night and booked two nights, but ended up not staying at either hotel.
The hotel staff offered to give us a better room, but we decided to leave because we felt that the hotel was really not too hygienic.

The location is very good. It is less than ten minutes away from Sofia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. One of the rooms on one side has a view of Sophia's dome. The room decoration is relatively simple, and the bath products are famous brands, but the bed sheets are relatively old. The hotel breakfast is very rich.

My 14-year-old daughter and I enjoyed our stay at the Boutique Saint Sophia. It is a very nice hotel with a friendly reception staff who offered us a welcome drink. It is perfectly located to walk to (1-3 mins) and visit Hagia Sophia mosque and The Blue mosque. It is located a few more minutes from the Topkapi Palace and nearby park. Several restaurants are located nearby, making it a very convenient stay. The only drawback would be the block we had to walk after being dropped off by the taxi. The front of the hotel is exclusively dedicated for the electric public transportation train, no vehicle passing. This drawback is minor considering the prime location and overall walking convenience.

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay here. When we arrived i was not quite sure how it would be as the entrance was very basic. However staff went above and beyond with service.
Breakfast was amazing and so much choice!
The rooms were cosy and always cleaned well.
The only drawback was that taxis were not allowed in the area as it is a UNESCO heritage site. However after the first day we got used to the idea and it truly isca beautiful historical location.

This is a wonderful hotel located right in the centre of the Old City. The Hagia Sophia is right next to the hotel and many of the central attractions are within walking distance. There is also a tram stop located a short distance from the hotel.
The rooms are clean, stylish and comfortable. Lovely bathrooms with hot water. I had a really great night sleep here.
I would suggest having the Turkish breakfast in the morning - a lot of food and all of it tasty, it will set you up for the day. The hotel also offers tea and treats in the afternoon - recommended!
The staff were all very friendly and helpful, assisting with luggage, explaining how to use public transport or helping you book a tour.
I would stay here again, this hotel had a very warm and friendly feel to it.

The staff was great, always helpful with a smile, never make you feel like you are inconveniencing them, felt welcomed, although at some points we had an understandable language barrier, but the message and jokes were communicated easily
Reception open 24 hours
If you don’t have an itinerary like my wife and I, feel free to ask at the reception, we did almost all the recommendations from private tour, spa, boat cruises and restaurants during our four night stay
They also have a lovely breakfast
