Very good

This hotel is a gem, a very high value for money - rooms are small, but still functional, great location, nice and tidy, room even comes with breakfast - simple but wide selection of food, coffee & tea.
Friendly owner and sfaff.
Perfect for transit or a few days visit.
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.
Fantastic location easy walking distance to the 2 big mosques, Grand Bazaar, the T1 tram line & many others.
I’ll definitely consider staying here again if I return to Istanbul.
The staff was very courteous and helpful. The room and bathroom were clean and very well done. The breakfast was OK with some room for improvement in the choice of items.
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.
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.
It was an amazing experience. The staff was awesome and Apo the front desk guy was incredible from t time we enter. He gave us all the infotmation we needed it made reservation for us and also helped us with transportation. Rooms were huge and comfortable and my kids we in love with location, comfort and great service. Oh I cant forget great breakfast on terrace with incredible view.
Great location! We loved our corner room. Great deal! Staff were nice. The rooftop had great views! Breakfast is not something to be excited about though.
