Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can go inside and explore both the colossal structure as well as its museum.

    Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level.

    Sadly tourists can only go around the upper level. Previously you could get in on the ground floor and experience the wonderful open space of the huge dome above you. It is still possible to see some of the dome and the structure is very interesting but a slight disappointment. However , it is an amazing old structure. Small number of mosaics still visible. Better and more extensive mosaics at the Kariye Camii if mosaics are of interest.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

    Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

    Oh, what a delight.

    Oh, what a delight. I’m an open minded Christian so I appreciate such a wonderful and special place is still in place. You have to admitted if it wasn’t the Muslims it (probably) shared the fate of Acropolis. Is a wonder it does not crumble during times. Really. I was not able to take two straight pictures in a row, such a marvel of architecture is it, patch after patch. Is not the Pantheon, is not Basilica di San Pietro, but is still there. I also have to appreciate they respect the history and prior faith and do not cover part of the old (Christinas) paintings.

    The history is stunning and the main room is beautiful as well as the mosaics. However, I was underwhelmed considering they now charge to go in and you cannot go on the main floor (a result of it being turned into a mosque). Also the carpet choice doesn't help with the overall site. I think the other mosques were better. Also, there are LONG queues to buy a ticket and then queues to go in. I would recommend going to the Hagia Sophia experience museum (across the Obelisk) and buy tickets there.

    Insanely long lines deterred us, although you can take great shot elsewhere. Whether you are a man or woman, you need to cover up. Ladies with shawl, long sleeves, and down to ankles. Men with pants and at least a t-shirt (no tank tops). Otherwise, no entry.

    The room was clean and well decorated. The staff was excellent. Handled questions and concerns without hesitation. Talked with the owner during a marvelous breakfast on the top level that overlooked the river. She spoke English and chatted with us for quite awhile, wanting to know how we were doing, where we from and was very proud of her facility. We could walk to the major both the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia as well as the bazaars. I would return to this hotel when coming back to Istanbul.

    The location of the hotel is great (Hagia Sophia is a 30 min walk & the tram and many other attractions are very close), the room was clean, the beds were very comfortable, and the kind staff is exceptional. Our flight was delayed a lot, but they were waiting for us with a smile in the middle of the night. The breakfasts were also amazing and we got water every day in our room fridge. Overall, Meretto Hotel is a great value for the price and I would be happy to stay here again.

    I would especially like to appreciate to Ms. Şevval the way she provided support in a professional manner, both at the hotel and throughout our stay. She cooperated fully, even with tourist destinations. She is doing her job exceptionally well and is a great asset to the hotel. The hotel itself was clean, and the location was fantastic, with easy access to metro stations and famous destinations like the blue mosque, Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque and G grand bazaar Istanbul

    The hotel located close to tram stations and major attractions like the cruise pier, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Grand Bazaar, all reachable within 10 -20 minutes by taking tunnel trai and tram. The facilities offered great value, and I loved the delicious breakfast. The staff were attentive and helpful, enhancing my stay. The hot water in the shower was a nice comfort. I faced a minor issue with the linens, but the staff resolved it promptly, showcasing their commitment to guest satisfaction.

    The location of this hotel is the best part of the stay. It is just a 2–3 minute walk from the famous Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, and about a 10-minute walk from the Grand Bazaar. There are many restaurants nearby, and the environment around the hotel is lively. The staff were very friendly and arranged all our activities, tours, and taxis. Breakfast was wonderful, and the rooftop restaurant offers a breathtaking view of the entire city. I would definitely plan to book this hotel again if I travel to Istanbul.

    We stayed in the Standard Suite and it was an excellent experience. The room was exactly like the pictures – very neat, clean, modern, and well-renovated. Everything we needed was provided and well managed. The hotel is also in a perfect location, just a short walk from all the main attractions in Sultanahmet Old Town (Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Grand Bazaar, etc.). Overall, a comfortable and hassle-free stay – highly recommended for anyone visiting Istanbul.

    Melika was a great staff personnel and helped us greatly at Kalyon Hotel. She gave us advice in English and accommodated us very well. We enjoyed our time at Kalyon Hotel and appreciated all the services. I would defintiely recommend tourists to stay here when visiting Istanbul as it is close to all the famous landmarks such as Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. For any future guests at the hotel please ask for Melika for any help!

    The best hotel in the Sultanahmet area. Everything was superlative, from the hotel's location near Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, to the cleanliness of the room, amenities, modern elevator and last but not least the friendliness of the staff (Met, Ahmet, Recep, the breakfast guys and the cleaning ladies). I will gladly return every time I come to Istanbul. Thank You Hotel is the perfect place for a comfortable and carefree stay in the heart of the famous Sultanahmet.
