We were absolutely satisfied with our stay at Antusa Design Hotel & Spa. The hotel staff was extremely hospitable and very helpful throughout our visit. They made every effort to assist us in any situation, and we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. The rooms were generally clean, and they provided all the necessary amenities. Despite it being winter, the rooms were very warm and comfortable, with hot water available at all times. The beds were very comfy as well. We really enjoyed the hotel’s restaurant. The restaurant on the 6th floor had a beautiful terrace with a great view. The variety of food was more than sufficient, and the breakfast was particularly delightful. Special mention goes to Mr. Hasan, who was extremely welcoming and kind. His service and attitude were exemplary, and he made us feel especially comfortable with his warm hospitality. Overall, we had a great experience at the hotel and would definitely recommend it to others. The location is also fantastic, as it’s just a short walk from the Basilica Cistern, and very close to Sultanahmet Square. The location is perfect for exploring the city.

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 explore its vast structure from the inside with a visit to the museum that’s now housed within the walls.

Queues, Queues and more queues. But worth it. Do not bother with the AR experience which costs an extra 1250 TL (£25) each. The entrance is roughly £25 to get in if you buy it at the ticket office, make sure you ask for the basic tour otherwise they include the AR experience as a default. Amazing mosaics and beautiful architecture.

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. 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.

We had a wonderful stay at Magnaura Palace Hotel! The location is unbeatable — just a short walk from Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Topkapı Palace, yet tucked away enough to feel peaceful and cozy. The rooms are charming and comfortable; One of the highlights was the terrace view — watching over Istanbul’s historic skyline was magical. The staff was warm, attentive, and always ready to help with suggestions or arrangements.

Pros: * Location is perfect - walkable to Taksim, Eminonu, Karaköy, Hagia Sophia. Easy to get to from the airport via a short walk from Haliç station. Halkbank is round the corner for fee free ATM withdrawals. The apartment/hotel is in sort of a industrial supplies district which was fine by me (but just an fyi) * All of the guys at reception are very helpful and polite * We got upgraded for our stay, our apartment was a good size for two, nice enough bathroom.

Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside. Avoid the huge tour group queues & go straight to the top of the line, else you'll wait for hours. I was in (in both places), in 10 minutes without being pushy.
