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 Verified ### 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 Verified ### 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 Verified ### 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.

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 Verified ### 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.
