There can’t be a better location to stay in the Sultahnet district. Right next to Hagia Sophia and within 5 minutes walk to the main heritage buildings. Great breakfast, courteous and helpful staff. Also, they arrange a free parking for you nearby.

This hotel is all about location, location, location. It's at the heart of the old city, close to Sultanahmet and all the historical sites you'd want to visit, including the Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and more. The staff was very helpful and kind. It will definitely be my first choice if I get the chance to visit again.

Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can explore its vast structure from the inside with a visit to the museum that’s now housed within the walls.

Very old and full of history it has had many different lives & purposes over the centuries. Some of the paintings on the walls are still visible & tell a story. Did a guided tour and it was definitely worth it.

Queues, Queues and more queues. But worth it. Do not bother with the AR experience which costs an extra 1250 TL (£25) each. The entrance is roughly £25 to get in if you buy it at the ticket office, make sure you ask for the basic tour otherwise they include the AR experience as a default. Amazing mosaics and beautiful architecture.

This greekorthodox monument, one of the greatest for the christianity worldwide, is questionably managed by the modern Turkish state, after it was recently converted to a mosque (since there are so many of them, I really wonder why) The entrance for the tourists is allowed only at the 2nd floor, missing that way, an amazing perspective of this exceptional temple, that you can have only from the ground floor. You simply get half the pleasure! At least, you can have a glance of the unique mosaics covered by white pieces of cloth, due to religious restrictions. Anyway, don't miss it!

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level.

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level. Previously you could get in on the ground floor and experience the wonderful open space of the huge dome above you. It is still possible to see some of the dome and the structure is very interesting but a slight disappointment. However , it is an amazing old structure. Small number of mosaics still visible. Better and more extensive mosaics at the Kariye Camii if mosaics are of interest.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

Our one-night stay was truly wonderful. The staff are very friendly and always willing to help you. Accessibility is excellent. The Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and many other historical sites and museums are very close by. We asked the reception for information about late check-out, and they kindly told us we could leave late without any extra charge. Most importantly, when we went down to the lobby, a lovely lady named Aylin welcomed us very warmly and gave us some recommendations. I have no doubt that we will visit this hotel again.

The apartments are only 10 minutes walk away from the Hagia Sophia and 30 minutes to the Galata tower. The apartment was spacious, clean and comfortable and had a shared washing machine. The staff is very friendly and went out of their way to help us with the airport shuttle service that was delayed.

This hotel is very well located and within easy walking distance of the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, The Grand Bazzar and the harbour. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is an older hotel that has been restored some years ago, the rooms are not big but adequate and the beds are very comfortable. Breakfast was included in our rate and it is in a really lovely courtyard with a glass roof, the food offering is very nice and they make great omelets to order. The WiFi worked well.

I had such a great stay at Lovely History Boutique hotel. My room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Omer and Mahsum were very friendly and helpful. They always gave me good advice and they are both very honest people. I extended my stay because I liked the hotel so much. The hotel is very central, and a short walk to the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. There are many cafes and bakeries nearby. I highly recommend staying at Lovely History Boutique hotel.

The view from the rooftop and the balcony of my room were wonderful. The staff were exceptionally friendly, always ready to help and offer great advice. The location—right next to the Sultanate Hamam and Hagia Sophia—is perfect for exploring the historical heart of Istanbul (Constantinople). The breakfast was delicious, and the hosts showed genuine care and interest in their guests, making this cozy, homely hotel a truly welcoming place to stay.

Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside. Avoid the huge tour group queues & go straight to the top of the line, else you'll wait for hours. I was in (in both places), in 10 minutes without being pushy.
