The verdict

Who's travelling?

Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

Hagia Sofia Mansions delivers an atmospheric stay in restored Ottoman-style houses situated right beside Istanbul top historic sights. Guests consistently highlight the private hamams, garden restaurant setting, and close-up views of the Hagia Sophia. However, street noise from passing tourists and speeding golf carts, along with occasional check-in delays at the busy reception, can disrupt the quiet. 281929

  • The bathroom's marble paneling was beautifully done. It's been several years since my stay and this bathroom maintains a top spot in my PinteresIt'sard. It's such a far cry from the usual bland white bathrooms at most chain hotels. 2
  • from here we move on to the final room the bathroom on the way we pass by the wardrobe and have a quick look inside here we find as usual iron and ironing board a hair dryer and plenty of space to put your stuff inside but now finally the bathroom this is super large and has again a very special design 21

  • I sat there to work one afternoon and enjoyed a delicious iced coffee with rice pudding topped with ice cream and hazelnuts. Needless to say, it was perfection. 2
  • Hilton's official policy is to extend complimentary breakfast to two people, but the hotel extended it to my entire group - all nine of us. They also didn't charge us for any hot items we ordered, which was beyond generous. 2

  • If you're extra-vigilant about security, you'll be glad to know the Hagia Sofia Mansions takes several measures to ensure the safety of its guests. Not only does a security guard patrol the alley at regular intervals, but there is also a police kiosk at the end of the street as you approach Topkapi Palace. 2

  • The Hagia Sofia Mansions hotel is a better value for the price. It's a much more affordable option, regardless of whether you use points or pay cash 2
  • The Hagia Sofia Mansions provides that along with the convenience of a chain hotel. I can't think of any other hotels offering a better location and value. 2
  • I think it's a pretty good deal, because the hotel is made up of former guest homes of the sultan, situated directly in-between Ayasofya & Topkapi Palace (steps from both!). 3

  • Hagia Sofia Mansions provides a unique location where you can explore Istanbul easily. 20

  • Six of us travelling together stayed at the Sari Konak hotel in the Sultanahmet area and found that this location was perfect for all the sights. 16

  • In 2019 we stayed at The Million Stone Hotel which we loved, but probably not for everyone. It was a great location and had a good breakfast. This suited our needs, as being so central, we could return anytime we wanted for a rest. It was €58 a night with no view. Our window opened to another building, but it kept our room cool and we could still hear the calls to prayer. The staff was great. 24
  • The decor felt like a modern twist on old-school Ottoman design. I especially liked the vibrant art piece in the entryway and the plush seating areas. 2
  • With its breathtaking view of Hijia Sophia's glowing domes, this rooftop terrace is a perfect spot to begin or end the day. On camera82:57
  • Excellent service combined with beautiful decor and spacious bedrooms make this an ideal base for exploring the many sights of this stunning city. 9
  • The power outlets in this room were inconveniently located. There were two outlets in the wall leading to the bedroom and one in the far corner by the window. The kicker: The column left no room to fit a chair near the outlets. 2
  • Our suite was full of details. The spacious living area featured art, fresh flowers, and a welcome amenity. I'm often spoilt with treats upon arrival, but this was another level! 18

  • In 2019 we stayed at The Million Stone Hotel which we loved, but probably not for everyone. It was a great location and had a good breakfast. 24

  • the terrace restaurant we had the best place for a clear view onto hajja sofia and we enjoyed the tasty food very well 21
  • This is where we enjoyed the spectacular Hagia Sofia breakfast. Turks take breakfast seriously; it's a meal not to be rushed. When you order this gourmet breakfast you can expect an amazing choice of fresh fruit, vegetables, cheeses, meats, olives, nuts...plus jams, honey, grape jelly, tahini paste, and of course sesame 'Simit' bread rings that are also sold as street food. 18
  • If you have not had breakfast in an international location, the buffets are elaborate and Istanbul did not disappoint. Not only do you have your normal breakfast items, but lots of meats and cheeses, as well as plenty of Turkish specialties. 20
  • Green House Garden Restaurant and Bar are like a secret garden where you can enjoy local flavours. 7

  • Downstairs, the greenhouse garden restaurant offers a cozy garden style setting surrounded by greenery, ideal for a quiet afternoon tea or evening drink under the stars. On camera83:33
  • Continental breakfast consists of a traditional Turkish spread, which is quite elaborate and a far cry from the usual pastries and jam (more on that later). 2
