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.

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.

I really liked the service at the hotel, the staff were really helpful and very approachable. The hotel ambience was really nice. The hotel was really near the trams, shops and restaurants. The only issue we had was the room we had reserved was not available when we arrived as there was plumbing issues. Due to that the room we got was small. It was difficult moving around the room with luggage.

Very good hotel close to main touristic area.
We stayed 4 nights. Our room was clean and good size. Bathroom was large and very comfortable. Hotel staff were very helpful in all aspects, including local tours and getting some discounts. We liked the breakfast table as it catered to both veg and non-veg guests. Sea view from the restaurant was superb.
