    We had a wonderful stay at Villa Sofia! The hotel is conveniently located near major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Topkapi. The room was spacious and cleaned daily. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast selection was excellent, and the terrace offered breathtaking views. The hotel's location also allowed for easy access to restaurants and shops.

    Can recommend this hotel.

    Nicely furnished, outstanding room with ac. Incredibly nice hotel team who helped us check in late in the night and called a taxi for us after check-out. Great location - near Ataturk. Also, in the centre of the old city.

    I recently had a charming stay at a hotel in Istanbul that I stumbled upon by chance. The manager, Celil Secen, was not only professional but also a very nice person. The rooms were beautifully furnished and well-equipped, with some rooms even having adjoining doors, making it a great choice for families. The hotel had a delightful rooftop terrace offering breathtaking views of the Bosphorus, Aya Sofia, and the Blue Mosque. The courteous waiter on the terrace served delicious Turkish meals, and the included breakfast was a great way to start the day.

    Everything was perfect.

    I was absolutely blown away by the breathtaking views from the rooftop terrace at Alaturka Elegance! The sight of the Bosphorus, the Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque all in one panoramic view was truly unforgettable. The spacious suite-size room was also a pleasant surprise, providing ample space and comfort. The friendly and helpful staff made our stay even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this hotel for its remarkable views and comfortable accommodations.
