Amazing location in key historic sites and grand bazaar. Lots of restaurants and friendly crowds. Hotel is a little run down and the walls are paper thin affording all kinds of noise.

Stayed for 5 nights together with my 17year-old daughter, first-time sightseeing tour in Istanbul. Wonderful hotel, amazing food, helpful staff, clean, best possible location for sightseeing and public transport...has a swimming pool, sauna, and steam room - all included, our room was quiet, no complains... can certainly recommend as a great family-friendly hotel.

The pool was fantastic. We saved so much money on Ubers as all of the attractions were within walking distance. The service was excellent. We felt safe but annoyed with being asked to eat at every restaurant we walked by. Overall location 9.9!

Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel is simply superb for an Istanbul getaway. Its location is unbeatable, literally steps from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, with countless restaurants nearby. We easily walked to all major sites – highly recommended!
The pool and spa are fantastic for unwinding. While breakfast was just "okay," the rooms were great, offering stunning views of both the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia.
For comfort, convenience, and those incredible views, this hotel is a top choice in Sultanahmet.

A nice hotel in a great location - we walked to pretty much all the site we wanted to see from here. The room as functional and clean, a little on the small side but fine for us. The facilities are good. The service varied between excellent and grumpy. I personally would avoid the breakfast as it is expensive for what it is and there's a lot of choice nearby.

The staff at the hotel were excellent and friendly.
The location of the hotel is also amazing
But the pictures of the Standard Twin room on the website look better than the actual room, and I'll be honest, single beds were very uncomfortable to sleep on. Overvise, everything was great, including breakfast

Overall my stay at the hotel was good. They staff and location was great. I can agree with other reviews that rooms have wear and tear repairs that should be updated. Based on that I also agree I would not qualify this hotel as a 5 star. Breakfast was good and had variety.
