How we score

Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.

Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.

A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

Sultanahmet, about 0.2 km from Hagia Sophia

The Elasophia Hotel stands on Alemdar Caddesi in Sultanahmet, Istanbul.

Hagia Sophia, the Basilica Cistern and Hagia Irene are the closest of these, each about 0.2 km away, and the Süleymaniye Mosque the farthest at about 1.4 km.

  • Hagia Sophia: about 0.2 km
  • Basilica Cistern: about 0.2 km
  • Hagia Irene: about 0.2 km
  • Topkapı Palace: about 0.5 km
  • Sultan Ahmed Mosque: about 0.6 km
  • Sirkeci railway station: about 0.6 km

From 15 m² singles to the 30 m² Family Room

The Standard Single Room and the Double Room are both 15 m² with a garden view. The single has one twin bed and sleeps one; the double has one double bed and sleeps up to three, which takes a couple travelling with a child.

The Family Room, 3 Bedrooms is 15 m², sleeps up to four on a queen bed and two twin beds, and looks onto the city.

The two triple rooms sit between those sizes. The Standard Triple Room and the Superior Triple Room are both 20 m² with three twin beds; the Superior Triple adds a city view. For three travellers sharing, the choice between them comes down to that view.

Views split along the same lines. A garden view comes with the Standard Single, the Double and the 30 m² Family Room; a city view with the Family Room, 3 Bedrooms and the Superior Triple.

Children are allowed

Children are allowed, and the hotel is arranged around them as much as around couples. A couple with one child can also take the Double Room, which sleeps up to three on its double bed.

Check-in from 14:00, check-out until 11:30

Check-in runs from 14:00 and check-out until 11:30, so an arrival before mid-afternoon or a departure after late morning needs planning around those hours.

15 m² and 20 m² rooms, and rooms for families

Solo travellers and couples get compact 15 m² rooms with garden views and a choice of one twin or one double bed. Three travellers sharing fit either triple room at 20 m², with the Superior Triple offering the city view. Families of three or four have rooms matched to their size and an indoor play area for the children.
