Absolutely 10 / 10!!! 😊 The entire hotel staff is freindly and warmhearted! The location is perfect (only 3 min. to the blue moschee on foot) and the room is cozy and very clean! The Bervarages in the room are complementary and free coffee, tea and cookies also are there. We had to get to the airport early in the morning, and the kitchen staff opened the breakfast room 20 min. earlier than usual for us. Thank you for everything! We really enjoyed to stay for 4 nights- we will recommend your hotel for sure! Attached the amazing view from the breakfast room. 🇹🇷⚘️

Our third visit to Istanbul and this was by far the best hotel and staff. Young gentleman Sukur and the manager (Mehmet) were very accommodating, me and my husband came in the month of Ramadan and although the hotel doesn't usually cater for suhoor (4am breakfast) as usual hours are 8-10am, they were very kind and prepared this for us. We requested other products the hotel didn't provide and they would be kind enough to pick these things up from other shops and bring them to our room, free of charge. Extremely pleasant and hospitable, the staff went the extra mile to look after us. Hotel room was a very good size with lovely Ottoman inspired decor, very comfortable with gorgeous view of the blue mosque and sea from the terrace room, breakfast area also had a beautiful terrace and view. Location is perfect adjacent to blue mosque, Hagia Sophia and the Arasta bazaar is a minutes walk away. We will definitely recommend to all family and friends who will be visiting soon.

Blue Mosque

Constructed between 1609 and 1616, the striking Sultan Ahmed Mosque – or ‘Blue Mosque’ – is still a place of worship today. With no war victories to fund it, this opulent structure had to be paid for straight from the treasury – angering the Ottoman legal scholars of the time! Non-Muslim visitors are encouraged to visit, but should be respectful of the strict dress code.

    The Blue Mosque — Sacred Stillness in a Lively World

    The Blue Mosque — Sacred Stillness in a Lively World Stepping into the courtyard of the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) is like crossing into another time. Its towering minarets and sweeping domes echo with centuries of prayer, artistry, and devotion — a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture that still breathes with the spirit of Islam. Inside, the air is silent despite the buzz of tourists. Light filters through stained-glass windows, dancing across thousands of hand-painted blue Iznik tiles. There’s a deep reverence here — not only for faith, but for heritage itself. You feel it in every arch, every call to prayer, every quiet footstep across the carpeted floor. And yet, outside the mosque, life unfolds with its own charm: cats stretch lazily in sun-warmed corners, dogs nap peacefully under shady trees. Meanwhile, travelers from every corner of the world struggle for the perfect angle — clicking away hundreds of “crazy” photos, but always with a sense of wonder. Despite the crowds, the atmosphere remains remarkably friendly and trustworthy. Locals smile. Tourists help each other with photos. There's an unspoken agreement to respect the moment — and the place. This isn’t just a tourist stop. It’s a symbol — of culture that knows how to honor the past without shutting the present out. And it leaves you walking away with something more than just pictures.

    Ensure that you have clothing that covers your knees, apllicable to both men and women. Women additionally need to ensure that they have a headscarf to cover head and shoulders. They now charge for the coverings if you don't have

    As a Christian, first time in a mosque, I was impressed. The colors and architecture are impressive. I was lucky enough to have the accommodation 5min away so I could enjoy the beauty before going in, one night before. I recognize I was disguised by the non-Muslims that are not able to respect other people beliefs and gets in the prayer area just for pictures. Pity them. You should never put your pictures before the place you are, no matter what.

    One of the most sought after architectural wonders. It’s free. But dress appropriately. No bare shoulders, no bare knees and women need a scarf to cover their heads. Best to go prepared but you will also need given disposable covers at the entrance.

    We stayed at hotel during our trip to Istanbul and were very satisfied. The location is excellent – close to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and other main sights, yet quiet and comfortable. The rooms are clean, cozy and well maintained. Staff are always polite, helpful and ready to assist with any requests, which made our stay even more pleasant. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, a great start to the day. Overall, Palmera Old City offers very good value and creates a welcoming atmosphere for travelers. Highly recommended!

    The location is absolutely excellent, just 5 mins walk from The Blue Mosque etc. with plenty of restaurants nearby. The room looked exactly as was pictured in the photographs and the staff were very helpful. While breakfast was traditional Turkish and not really to our taste, we could always find something as there was a huge selection on offer. We had an early departure and the hotel made us a really tasty sandwich as we missed breakfast. Overall I would recommend this hotel and would stay there again.

    We had a wonderful stay at Ayasofya Hotel in Istanbul. The hotel is in a perfect location just a short walk from major attractions like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Grand Bazaar, making it very convenient for sightseeing. The staff were extremely friendly and supportive. Although there were some language barriers, they made every effort to assist us even using translators when needed which we really appreciated. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-maintained, and the hotel’s transport arrangements were quick and efficient.

    The location is excellent. the blue mosque and hagia sofia is just 5 mins walk from this hotel. The hotel is small and but the location i will give 10/10. The hotel price is cheap and best and there is a lot to see nearby and lots of restaurants. you must try the Turkish dish iskender kebap. Also you have a 5-minute walk to the Havist bus station, which will drop to istanbul airport for just 275 Turkish lira. The breakfast was also good.
