My wife and I had a wonderful week at the Albatros Hagia Sophia. Our room with balcony was spacious, clean, and well-appointed, including refrigerator. The buffet breakfast was varied, and the restaurant service was excellent. The hotel’s staff were terrific—friendly, helpful, and always responsive. The location in Sultanahmet could not have been better—only a few minutes walk from the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Topkapi Palace, Gulhane Park, the Bosphorous, annd other attractions. There are numerous and varied restaurants, cafes, markets, and shops in the neighborhood. All in all, it was the perfect place to anchor ourselves in incredible Istanbul.
