Spa was okay, but not great. My sister and I booked the Traditional Turkish Bath. Bathing/massage area was a bit chilly and located in a small, dark, underground ancient "cavern" room. There wasn't a traditional heated marble slab or platform. In fact, my sister had her bath on a regular massage table. We were really expecting a traditional Turkish Bath (which we've had several times) with the steamy bathing area, warm marble platforms, deep massage, etc.. Unfortunately, the experience was a very watered down version of a true Turkish Bath. It was expensive as well. We really expected more from this caliber of hotel.

Where do I start? First of all, we arranged transfer from the airport to Istanbul through the hotel. Cars are not allowed where the hotel is located, but a staff member will greet you and take you to the hotel via golf cart. Which kind of makes you feel like a VIP! Location couldn't better -- literally between the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia. The hotel lobby is beautifully decorated and furnished with wonderful vibrant colors, Turkish motifs, and comfortable seating. We were a family of four and originally booked a Jr. Suite and Superior King. However, we were pleasantly surprised and excited to find out that they upgraded both rooms to a Hagia Sophia Suite and a Jr. Suite! Yay! Both rooms were just stunning. Our rooms were located in the Green House (main reception building). The other part of the property is located on the street between the Hagia Sofia and Topkapi Palace (about a 5 minute walk from reception). The spa is also located there. A very abundant Turkish breakfast is served in the leafy and shaded garden in back of the hotel. Our suites were immaculately maintained by Hatice, our housekeeper. She would even leave us delightful "towel art" on our beds each day! The hospitality and professionalism of the waitstaff was stellar. Dogukan (chef), Banyar, Nozima, Tarik, Halperen, and Caner really helped to make our experience at the hotel first rate. We did use the spa for a traditional Turkish bath. Loved the indoor pool that was originally an ancient cistern! We had private use of the pool for 40 minutes prior to our Turkish Bath. Overall, we loved our stay at the Hagia Sofia Mansions, and would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend!

The restaurant were not as good as they should be!

The location was perfect. Right beside the Topkapi palace, as a matter of fact part of it. And two meters from Hagia Sofia. The golfcart that was provided for transporting guests in the nearby areas. The staff!! Everything was perfect.

It is a marginal issue only, but information could be made clearer that the transport will not be able to make it directly to the hotel, and guests need to change to an electric car. That said, we enjoyed the ride with it.

Amazing hotel, perfectly located, literally 3-5 minutes from all the major attractions. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The concierge, Cecile was excellent, she was extremely helpful in providing information and booking a table in a restaurant. The hotel comprises smaller buildings, and the green building, where we stayed, had its own cozy garden and restaurant. We loved the cocktails and the food there. We got an upgrade on arrival, so the room exceeded our expectations.

Nothing!

We liked that it was not a classic hotel structure and we really enjoyed the garden and mansions structure, it did not feel like we were in the city but we were very close to most of Istanbul sites to visit. The staff was extremely kind, especially at breakfast where Nasima always remembered gluten free cake and bread. We really enjoyed our stay!

This hotel is in the best location for the national museum 5min walk, Hagia Sofia Mosque & Topkapi palace, 5min , Blue Mosque 10min, turk art gallery opposite blue mosque, Hagia Sofia museum opposite blue mosque, really worth visiting before going to the Mosque. Town walls & towers. Food is wonderful, and breakfast in the Greenhouse is the best. Staff are very helpful & kind. Simply an outstanding hotel. Very clean, housekeeping staff very efficient. The concierge service was excellent. The hotel is spread around Hagia Sofia with buggy carts to take you end to end.

no bluetooth speaker in the room

I must say, the service was exceptional. My flight was scheduled for 2 am, and the hotel kindly allowed me to leave my luggage with them after checkout. Moreover, they graciously permitted me to use the spa facilities for a refreshing shower before my departure. This level of hospitality truly exceeded my expectations. I will undoubtedly choose to stay at this hotel again in the future and will enthusiastically recommend it to my friends. Thank you, Hagia Sophia Mansion, for a fantastic stay!

Great location, ideal for vising the major tourist sites, and for the range and number of restaurants in the area. The staff were very helpful at all times, always smiling and cheerful, and could not do more for us.

We did not have breakfast due to our schedule. The hotel rooms were excellent and located on a pedestrian street in a very nice area behind Hagia Sophia mosque. The hotel has 2 x receptions which are convenient when getting around and the staff were excellent. Electric buggies, driven by the hotel staff are available and very convenient for the cases.

While we loved the room itself and the view of the mosque/parrots in the tree/street, the trams running every 2 minutes woke us up very early, on the positive side, this got us up and exploring much earlier that we would have done otherwise.

Great base to explore Istanbul from, being just round the corner from the main sites, it made it easy to beat the crowds in the morning, and enjoy the area without tourists in the evening. The courtyard near reception is a lovely refuge for a break during the day/in the evening. Both buffet and order-from-menu breakfasts were great, and we also enjoyed dinner at the greenhouse restaurant one night. I booked the cistern spa for one evening and it was fantastic and even healed my foot that I had twisted on the cobbles during the day! Wonderful staff - particularly enjoyed being sent off with water when leaving the hotel. Would definitely love to stay again when back in Istanbul.

Reaching the hotel by car will be a challenge given the area restrictions. Given the buildings’ age there might be an issue for those needing elevators or noise isolation

Fantastic location in the middle of Sultanahmet area, with historical locations a couple of minutes away on foot. Very unique setup where the hotel is distributed between 17 different buildings (most are right next to Topkapi walls). Got our room upgraded for free (quite spacious). Very supportive and cheerful staff
