Sofia Corner Hotel

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to stay at Sophia Corner Hotel. It is a hidden gem in close proximity to all the amazing sites in Istanbul. No, not everything in my room was perfect, but the staff hospitality more than made up for that. From my first interaction with Zaki, when I first arrived from the airport to the constant support from Beethoven, my experience was wonderful. I was so grateful for Zaki's kindness and attentiveness. And I can't say enough about Beethoven. Anything I needed, from tours to taxis, he went above and beyond to help me out and schedule everything. He even made sure to make my tea in the way that I preferred it. This was a great compliment to go along with their wonderful breakfast. If and when I return to Istanbul, I would be more than happy to stay at this hotel once again. Thank you again for making my stay so memorable.

Hotel is in the perfect location for exploring Sultanahmet. The bed was very comfortable, everyone on the staff was so helpful and kind - especially Beethoven who helped us arrange all of our transportation. 10/10 would recommend.

Wonderful experience from check-in to check-out. The property is lovely, but the highlight of our trip was definitely the team working there. Every staff member we interacted with was genuinely kind and accommodating. A massive thank you specifically to Beethoven his outstanding service and attention to detail truly made a difference during our stay. We will definitely be booking here again!

Breakfast and staff were both excellent. I got in at almost midnight and staff helped me up to the fourth floor with my luggage. They also took it down when I checked out. Being that I am 80 years old and walk with a cane, it meant so much to me. I wanted to go to their spa, but realized that their spa was at another place. However, they provided free transportation to and from the spa. I thoroughly enjoyed the spa and hammam treatments. Note that this hotel does not have a lift, and I had to go up to the fourth floor via winding stairs, and after the third floor, the lights were out on the stairs. For an 80 year old lady using a cane, it was a hazard. Once I got up to my room, I did not want to go down anymore. They should have advised this to guests during booking that this hotel had no lift, and that rooms could be on higher floors. Since I booked and paid for my room a week or so before I took my trip, I had no way of knowing. And since I came after 11 pm, I did not have a choice. But that should have been made clear during booking. Other than that I was happy with my breakfast. The cheese and vegetables were always fresh, and the egg omelet they served was always cooked fresh and delicious.
