The room was very comfortable and spacious enough for 2 people. Bathroom was clean with adequate supplies. The Turkish breakfast was massive and highlight of my stay at the hotel. Never had soo many choice to choose from and food was really nice. Staff was extremely friendly and very helpful all around.

We had a wonderful stay and can highly recommend Henna Hotel! The breakfast was excellent, with a good variety and very fresh, high-quality food. One of the absolute highlights is the beautiful rooftop terrace with a stunning panoramic view. It’s the perfect place to relax, enjoy a coffee or simply take in the atmosphere of Istanbul. The staff was exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful at all times. They were always willing to assist with questions, recommendations, or anything we needed, which made our stay even more comfortable. The location is also great, especially for exploring the historic areas on foot. Overall, the hotel offers a warm atmosphere, great service, and a very pleasant experience. We would be happy to come back and would definitely choose this hotel again.

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.

Not worth the money to go! Very dissapointing. Also they try to swindle you & upsell on the ticket price from €25 to €50, so you end up paying double for a less than mediocre experience. Avoid at all cost.

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.

This greekorthodox monument, one of the greatest for the christianity worldwide, is questionably managed by the modern Turkish state, after it was recently converted to a mosque (since there are so many of them, I really wonder why) The entrance for the tourists is allowed only at the 2nd floor, missing that way, an amazing perspective of this exceptional temple, that you can have only from the ground floor. You simply get half the pleasure! At least, you can have a glance of the unique mosaics covered by white pieces of cloth, due to religious restrictions. Anyway, don't miss it!

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.

A small hotel (but surprisingly, with an elevator) in an excellent location (perfect for exploring the most interesting, historical part of Istanbul). The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfasts are varied. The view from the dining room during breakfast is worth every penny – the hotel is not only situated between the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, but also offers the unique opportunity to gaze simultaneously at Europe and Asia, along with ships sailing on the Bosphorus, while sipping your morning coffee.

Lovely small hotel. The rooms are very comfy and super cute. Friendly staff. Finding the hotel is tricky since it's tucked at the end of an alley within another alley. However, once you locate it, it's very close to the underground cistern, the Great Bazaar, Hagia Sophia, and the Blue Mosque. On the upper street after hiking the stairs, there are restaurants, souvenir stores, and grocery stores. Go to the right, then go down the long street, and you will end up at the Blue Mosque.

The Hotel is situated in almost the very center of Stambul around 300 m to Hagia Sophia and basically over the Basilica Cistern. It is small, but the luxurious interiors make up for it. The breakfast was very simple, but I didn't mind especially since most of the time it looked like I was the only visitor. The room was cleaned everyday, and fresh bottls of water were added to the freezer. Overall time well spend with variety of tourists locations in the close proximirty. Highly recommend!

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.
