Friendly owner and sfaff. Perfect for transit or a few days visit. ##### Ferenc Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### FATHEN 14 Nov 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Apart from an unpleasant employee, not polite, and the room opposite the kitchen making it very noisy for sleep it was very complicated, the location of the hotel is very well located. ##### FATHEN Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Carlos 9 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Carlos Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Patricio 11 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I like the place nice area ##### Patricio Stayed 11 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shakeela 4 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Our stay at Ala sofia was great, staff were very friendly and rooms were cleaned daily I would definitely go back ##### Shakeela Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nekel 30 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic location easy walking distance to the 2 big mosques, Grand Bazaar, the T1 tram line & many others.

L'emplacement à 5min a pied de la mosquee est un plus. Large choix au petit dejeuner. 2 arrets de Tramway proche. Plusieurs resto autour. Le personnel a été chaleureux et bienveillant.

Отель расположен в 5 минутах ходьбы от площади Султанахмет, при этом в тихом районе.Отель не большой, номер тоже не большой, но есть все необходимое: сейф, мини холодильник, чайник, чайные принадлежности, бутилированная вода, туалетные принадлежности, полотенца, все своевременно пополнялось. Персонал дружелюбный, завтрак континентальный с 8 до 10.30\. Рядом много кафе, есть супермаркеты. До остановки трамвая №1 несколько минут пешком. Единственный недостаток - шумоизоляция, номер был на первом этаже, слышимость с улицы как будто окна открыты нараспашку, хорошо, что улочки тихие. В остальном размещение понравилось, приятно провели время. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30B1095F6A48656BA252E74921AAC8237642EDB91636112415568.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FFECAB188D782BE5887E88CF1A5A400D162595BA1636112416061.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E92B8787A379245996FDD12101925D06EBD5BC621636112419265.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Завтрак](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/EFD4DF0DB536F874E2A360701EFFC2D22F3770E61636112419673.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### ALEXEY Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Azzedine 17 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bof bof L hôtel est idéalement situé dans le quartier sultanahmet.
