“Wonderful Hotel! Outstanding service!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Superior Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
First of all, I would like to thank the Management of the Hotel and personnel for the outstanding service and crystal cleanness of the premises. Despite the fact that I arrived at the hotel at 2 in the morning, I was greeted at the highest level and proposed a cup of Turkish tea. I was exhausted after 16-hour flight, so check-in at the hotel was very smooth and prompt. Location of the room was marvelous. From the windows, I could see the stunning view of Hagia Sophia. Room was spacious and very convenient with the long corridor where you can leave your luggage without blocking the space of the room. The bed and cushions were super comfortable. Complimentary coffee, tea, fruit plate, and wine set was an unexpected and incredibly pleasant surprise. The room was very very quiet, the curtains on the windows were thick and long fully covering the window, which is very important for a good sleep after the long-haul flight. Location of the hotel deserves the highest appreciation! Most of the ancient museums and monuments located in walking distance from the hotel. I strongly recommend Boutique Saint Sophia for tourists.
