Albatros Hagia Sophia Hotel

The staff at the hotel was warm and really helpful in organising a massage, laundry, getting a taxi for the airport, just those things that can make your stay so much better when done properly. The room was spatious, comfy and clean. Recommended!

Location

I had a wonderful experience with the breakfast at Albatros Hagia Sophia Hotel. The variety of options was excellent....everything was fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. We had our breakfast downstairs at the lobby.What made the experience even better was the staff. Thanks to Iroda and Firas for going out of your way to make sure that the guests felt comfortable and satisfied.

Room facilities such as many usb chargers were excellent and my room had a balcony with view to Haiga Sophia. Breakfast had a wide choice of foods. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is fantastic.

There was nothing I didn't like. They could put a bit more water in your fridge on arrival, but the desk staff were quick to address this for me. The rooms were clean and adequate and good for the price range.

Very nice hotel , great location , walking distance to Sultanahmet square, Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar. Tram stops and metro station near by.Breakfast is included and was very good. The room was clean and spacious with big terrace. Air conditioning worked well as it was hot during our stay.There are many good restaurants in the area but our favorite was seafood place next door.The stuff was polite and friendly .Special thanks to Dmitri for arranging transfers from / to airport and help with local information.

Location, staff, and breakfast everything were awesome.

I have done so much research before booked in Istanbul and let me tell you this Albatros Hagia Sophia Hotel offers the perfect blend of location, comfort, and hospitality. Just steps away from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, it’s ideal for exploring the historic Sultanahmet area. The rooms are clean and cozy, some with charming balcony views. Breakfast is fresh and varied, with a lovely local touch. What truly sets this hotel apart is the warm, attentive staff—especially Era —who go above and beyond to make guests feel at home. A great value stay for travelers seeking authentic comfort in Istanbul.

Absolutely not a single thing

Great location. Sultanahmet square was a 5 min walk. Very accommodating staff. Also offer good transport services and some tours. Breakfast buffet was good and had various options.

Rooms and especially bathroom were a bit small a d needs more storage and hooks in the room

Location

He made us pay for 2 rooms when he had a room with 2 beds and refused to refund. It was a rip off

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all the reception staff for their warm and professional service during my stay. especially Mr. Dimitri, who was exceptionally kind and hospitable.He consistently went above and beyond to ensure all our needs were met immediately and with a smile. His helpful attitude and genuine care truly made our experience more comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you once again for the outstanding service.

excellent breakfast and location. excellent service too!

The first room with balcony was just too small. I wish they had reserved a larger room for us as they did when we checked in the second time.

The size of the ground floor family rooms was wonderful. Staff were excellent and friendly. Service was great. Great value for money. Good breakfast options.

One of the bathrooms could do with some general maintenance and upgrade.

Everything was clean, de bed was comfortable. Everyday, our room was cleaned, trash cans were emptied and we were given clean towels. The staff was very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. The location was also perfect with only a few minutes walk to the Hagia Sophia.

There was still some water left in the kettle when we wanted to use it for the first time, not that big of a deal but still a little weird.

Cleaners came everyday, breakfast was mix of hot and cold options, staff willing to help, 10% discount on food from adjoining restaurant.

Good money for four star, building a little old but overall great

Location of property was great for all the main attractions. Breakfast was good and it was great that drinks/tea etc were available throughout the day. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would stay again.

The glass opaque doors for the bathrooms were questionable. Not 100% private. The smell of cigarette was unpleasant in the hotel but you can’t escape that in Istanbul unfortunately.

Centrally located and easy walk to Hagia Sofia, Grand Bazaar etc... Room was OK but looking a bit tired.Breakfast was average but sufficient enough.

Only 2 coffee satchels were provided on day 1. Had to get my own from local supermarket for rest of stay.

The breakfast was really poor.

The breakfast and one tall , fat and old guy who is working at property, he is always grumpy. He is Not smile.

Location was great for restaurants, shops, starting point for tours. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was spacious. Good selection for breakfast. Would recommend and would stay again.

Would be helpful if breakfast items were labelled, as a vegetarian it was difficult to know what I could eat, for example one morning I took a pastry and, luckily instead of taking a bite, I pulled it apart and it was filled with meat but no way to know this from the outside. I couldn't risk a lot of the food as it wasn't clear what was in it. The fan in the bathroom turned on randomly, we couldn't figure it out, it was not connected to the light and there was no switch for it but sometimes it would be on and sometimes it wouldn't. We only hit one room key and it also needed to be used for electricity in the room. It made it awkward if one of us wanted to pop out while the other was in the shower or getting ready

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Albatros Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! The hotel is beautifully situated, offering stunning views of the city and easy access to many of Istanbul's famous landmarks.From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making me feel right at home. The room was spacious, tastefully decorated, and equipped with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. I particularly appreciated the cleanliness and the attention to detail throughout the hotel.One of the highlights of my stay was the breakfast. The hotel offers a fantastic traditional Turkish breakfast .There was a wide variety of fresh fruits, pastries, and local delicacies. Overall, my experience at Albatros Hagia Sophia, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Istanbul. Whether you're there for leisure or business, the combination of great service, comfortable accommodations, and a delightful breakfast makes it a perfect choice for travelers. I can't wait to return!Special thanx to Mr Kamuran and his team.

The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk to the tram station and only 5 minutes to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The breakfast is delicious, with the main course changing daily. The connecting room is perfect for a big family. However, the daily cleaning could be improved.
