The hotel is located in one of the best places of Istanbul, just a 5min walk to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Cistern. The staff is just AMAZING, very friendly and looking forward to help in whatever is needed. They made the difference!!! Breakfast is also one of the top experiences we had in Istanbul, with great service and stunning view. The hotel was so good that we had a 21 hours layover on our way back and we decided to go back to the hotel. They allowed us to leave few things we bought at the hotel while we were traveling to other places. They also allow us do an early check in for our 21 hours layover. We also recommend getting dinner at the hotel terrace. The food is very good, we had the seafood plate and the chicken with eggplant.

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 go inside and explore both the colossal structure as well as its museum.

Very old and full of history it has had many different lives & purposes over the centuries. Some of the paintings on the walls are still visible & tell a story. Did a guided tour and it was definitely worth it.

Queues, Queues and more queues. But worth it. Do not bother with the AR experience which costs an extra 1250 TL (£25) each. The entrance is roughly £25 to get in if you buy it at the ticket office, make sure you ask for the basic tour otherwise they include the AR experience as a default. Amazing mosaics and beautiful architecture.

This greekorthodox monument, one of the greatest for the christianity worldwide, is questionably managed by the modern Turkish state, after it was recently converted to a mosque (since there are so many of them, I really wonder why) The entrance for the tourists is allowed only at the 2nd floor, missing that way, an amazing perspective of this exceptional temple, that you can have only from the ground floor. You simply get half the pleasure! At least, you can have a glance of the unique mosaics covered by white pieces of cloth, due to religious restrictions. Anyway, don't miss it!

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level.

Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level. Previously you could get in on the ground floor and experience the wonderful open space of the huge dome above you. It is still possible to see some of the dome and the structure is very interesting but a slight disappointment. However , it is an amazing old structure. Small number of mosaics still visible. Better and more extensive mosaics at the Kariye Camii if mosaics are of interest.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

Hotel Nena was the perfect choice for our first stay in Istanbul. Located right in the heart of Sultanahmet, everything was just a short walk away — from the Blue Mosque to Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. The room was cozy, the breakfast spread was excellent, and the staff were very accommodating. They even allowed us to store our luggage while we explored Cappadocia and Pamukkale for a few days. Overall, it’s a wonderful hotel for first-time visitors to Istanbul!

Anthemis Hotel has a great location for the traveler. A few steps from the Sultanahmet tram stop and close to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Basilica Cistern and much more. Lots of restaurant choices. The room was a bit on the small side but nicely done on the inside and functional. They had a delicious breakfast buffet with views of the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and bosphorus. What a way to start the day!

The hotel was really nice and clean. The location is perfect — right in the center, just 10–15 minutes’ walk to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and only 5 minutes to the Grand Bazaar. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful — I’m very grateful for their support! They always responded quickly on WhatsApp and helped with everything I needed. Breakfast wasn’t big, but it had exactly what we like to eat. If I come back to Istanbul, I’ll definitely stay at this hotel again!
