Little Sofia Hotel — Hotel in Fatih

The Little Sofia Hotel is ideal for families and couples who want to explore Istanbul's historic district. The family who owns the hotel are genuine and do speak and understand English as well as words in other languages. Our service was excellent from when we arrived to when we left. The owner's nephew stayed with us until our car service arrived and made sure we were well taken care of. He even helped with our bags and luggage. Our room featured a double bed, a chair, a bathroom, a closet, and a mini fridge. There was also a television but we never turned it on during on stay. Furthermore, our room had a small door that opened to the balcony with a stunning view of a local mosque.||We had access to additional toilet paper and water each day. The family provides breakfast weather permitting on the roof top terrace or if the weather is not good, next door at their cafe. ||You'll receive a master key that opens the hotel as well as the room key. We always felt welcomed and safe during our stay at Little Sofia Hotel.||The location is outstanding as it is about 10-minute walk to the park that has the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia as well as the Column of Constantine and the Obelisk of Theodosius||While it is true the walk has a steep incline but all the hotels in this area will have the same steep incline. Be sure to wear very good and comfortable shoes when visiting Istanbul in general. ||In summary, there are a lot of hotels in the historical district but it's the service and genuineness that puts Little Sofia at the top of our list. We will look forward to our next stay with them when we come back...

During my recent trip to Istanbul, I had the pleasure of staying at the exquisite Little Sofia hotel, owned by the gracious Opu. Nestled in the vibrant heart of the city, this boutique hotel is a true gem that captures the essence of Istanbul's rich culture and history.

From the moment I stepped into the elegant lobby of Little Sofia, I was enveloped in a sense of tranquility and sophistication. The beautifully designed rooms offered a peaceful sanctuary with a blend of traditional Turkish décor and modern comforts, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the bustling streets of Istanbul.

One of the highlights of my stay was the rooftop terrace at Little Sofia, where I enjoyed breathtaking views of the city skyline and the iconic landmarks of Istanbul. The personalized service from Opu and the attentive staff made me feel like a valued guest, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was seamless and memorable.

Each morning, I savored a delightful breakfast spread featuring a variety of fresh and flavorful dishes, showcasing the culinary delights of Istanbul. Opu's passion for hospitality shone through in every detail, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home.

My experience at Little Sofia in Istanbul was truly unforgettable, thanks to Opu's dedication to creating a welcoming and luxurious haven for travelers. I left with cherished memories and a desire to return to this enchanting hotel in the heart of Istanbul. ...

Definitely, I´ll go again!!

I have spent with my wife an entire week in Istanbul at this hotel and I can only thank all the staff and have good words. This is a small, family owned hotel with roomy clean bedrooms, a nice and moden bathroom, and a nice terrace upstairs with excellent views to the sea. 24 hours desk which unfortunately I had to use due to flight delay and Abde waited for me up to 2a to do the check-in. Location is just unbeatable, just 5-6 minutes walk from Blue Mosque and Hagia Sofia, but also located next to Little Sofia Mosque which is in a quiet road and free of vehicle transit. To top up that, you have Little Sofia Cafe Restaurant next to it which belongs to the same family. Certainly, you´re welcome to walk-in and have your coffees, breakfast, lunchs, dinners if you wish to and they´ll probably would apply some discount for being a guest of the hotel. You´re also always welcome to walk-in to have a chat, have some tips or advice.

So many cats around which are well-behaved and are well cared for at this hotel and restaurant.

If there is availability and you´re looking for a homey feel hotel located in the old town of Istambul, there is no reson to look any further in my opinion.

Thank you Abde, Ömer, and the rest of nice staff.

Hopefully, I´ll see you guys...
