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.

Hagia Sophia itself is impressive, I certainly wouldn't recommend the so-called "museum," which is ridiculously overpriced and basically just a long, ridiculous video in a bunch of different rooms, played at the volume of a rock concert. Go watch a documentary. You'll learn a lot more.

They turned this museum into a mosque under Erdogan.
They turned this museum into a mosque under Erdogan. It has been a museum for almost 100 years, but now it is a mosque and you are not allowed to go and explore the place inside, but are confined to a small space at the ground floor of the building. Very, very sad!!

There are many many well dressed VERY friendly and helpful men willing to show you around, avoid them, do not talk to them! They are all trying to sell you something. They can get aggressive if you engage them and the try to leave, best to avoid them and keep walking.

Definitely gone down since it was turned back into a mosque from its museum status. You can't walk around snd see much of the things you were able to see before. The mosaics and freezes have been covered over again and the balconies are now out of bounds.

We had a nice tour but all of the religious items are covered. It use to be a museum but is now a mosque. However, there is a very beautiful mosque nearby, the blue Mosque, so would have been nice to see the Byzantine church in its glory. There is a great museum of Hagia Sophia that gives you information on the history and it's one of the most high tech museums I have encountered, highly recommend it.

Now that the Hagia Sofia has been designated as a mosque, entrance is free and the queues are horrendous. Try to get there before the crowds, even if it means missing breakfast - or join a reasonable-priced guided tour and skip queuing.

The location was great, 10mims walking distance from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Museum & Grand Bazaar. The hotel was not in any tight road & had nice shops around it. Nice spacious family room. Great customer service.
Very clean hotel, spacious room with everything needed, rich breakfast, very nice and helpful staff. The location is also great, less than 10 minutes walking from Hagia Sophia/the Blue Mosque and tram station.
The room was clean and tidy. Our breakfast was prepared on the rooftop terrace with a view of the sea and Blue Mosque. The breakfast provided every morning was delicious. Walking distance to Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and the shops. It is so convenient to find food. The hotel upgraded our room during our stay. We appreciate it a lot. Thank you so much!
The hotel was really clean and nice. The rooftop restaurant had the most wonderful setting and views. The breakfast spread was fantastic. The location being close to the blue mosque and hagia sophia and other attractions makes it very suitable
The location is perfect for an Istanbul first-timer like me. You can literally see the Hagia Sophia from the hotel. Walking to the square where both Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque are takes 1 minute. Breakfast was real good, great selection of food. My room was just fine: clean and not noisy.

The staff members are incredibly welcoming and attentive, adding warmth to your stay. Situated conveniently beside the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, it's an ideal choice for travelers looking to immerse themselves in Istanbul's rich history and culture.
The hotel is very comfy, near Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, 10 minutes away. The staff is very friendly and usefull with and Information you need and we received a map of Istanbul. The room was clean, every day the towels were changed and the room was cleaned. We felt like home and we would like to come back some day. Istanbul is a great city.
It’s very in the center of Istanbul, near bazaar, Hagia Sophia, blue mosque and tram. The facilities of the hotel are very okay and clean with complimentary water. The highlight of our stay are the staff. Osman and Memet are very helpful and friendly especially Osman that lent his railway card for the metro and assist me in my e sim. He is amazing! He gave us tips and good deals for our tour package here. Highly recommend guys 👍🏽👍🏽

What guests said about Hagia Sophia:
Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside
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.

Called a "Hamam", the recently renovated hamam between the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosk is second to none
Lots of people everywhere and fantastic food. Having the Turkish bath experience is not to be missed. Called a "Hamam", the recently renovated hamam between the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosk is second to none.

Getting a museum card or looking for ticket kiosks (especially in the enterance of Hagia Sofia and Topkapı Palace) will let you pass hundreds of people in line waiting to get a ticket
