Angie from Switzerland (10/10)
We liked Little Sofia so much that we stayed here again :). This is an owner-run hotel that is super convenient for anyone who wants to explore the historical sites of Istanbul. It's a cute and comfortable base that's walking distance from the Blue Mosque etc, as well as the T1 tram line and the Marmaray line. Ömer is super nice, and we enjoyed hanging out with him. With Ömer, you know there's a kind, trustworthy person who will look out for you during your entire stay. We look forward to staying at the Little Sofia Hotel again soon! Thank you for everything, Ömer!

The Little Sofia was clean, comfortable, and well situated to walk to the major attractions of Istanbul. We enjoyed the view both from our room, and the rooftop terrace. The adjacent restaurants were very good.
Angie from Switzerland (10/10)
We enjoyed our stay here so much. It's a cute, clean place in a very historic district, so we were close to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia etc. We very much appeciated Omar- he is a very cheerful and helpful person, who thinks ahead on behalf of guests. For example, between our two stays, he gave me the keys to the new room in advance so that I could just come back straight from the airport and feel at home. Luggage storage, booking taxis…. Thank you, Omar!
