Hagia Sofia Mansions Istanbul, Curio Collection by Hilton

We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and Hilton did everything possible to make it special. The room was luxurious, staff were very friendly and helpful (the shuttle around the property was heaven sent during the rain!), and the Turkish breakfast in the Green House Garden Restaurant was both extensive and delicious. Easily the best location in Sultanahmet for seeing the main tourist sites.

Location, location! Enabled us to pop back to the hotel for a freshen up and a break. This allowed us to do very full on days sight seeing. A huge bonus in being able to enjoy the area minus tourists early morning and late evening. The staff are all truly exceptional, nothing is too much trouble. I cannot possibly name everyone involved, but all the staff who helped locate my missing prescription sunglasses, I had left them at a local restaurant. The wonderful Gurur and Emirhan who chatted whilst on buggy drives. Finally, to the wonderful Behget who so kindly shared a few of his favourite restaurants and places to visit off the tourist track. Our room was beautiful and bed exceptionally comfortable. The breakfasts were fabulous, lots of variety. Look out for the afternoon tray of Turkish delights, delicious.

Our stay at the Hagia Sofia Mansions, Curio Collection by Hilton, was nothing short of fantastic—truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the historic district. It’s just a two-minute walk (if that) to both the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia, and all of our tours conveniently met at the Hippodrome, just a few minutes away. The hotel itself is a collection of beautifully restored mansions, and we had the pleasure of staying in the main one, the Green House. As a honeymoon treat, we were upgraded to a spacious suite free of charge, which was a wonderful surprise! The room was beautifully designed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable—one of the best we’ve experienced while traveling. From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the vibrant decor and the incredible fragrance of their signature atomizer (if I could have bought one for my home, I would have!). The entire property was impeccably clean, and the staff was warm, welcoming, and always ready with helpful recommendations. We highly recommend opting for the breakfast—it was an impressive spread and the perfect way to start each day. If you’re looking for a luxurious and centrally located stay in Istanbul’s Old Town, this is the place. We would absolutely stay here again!

The staffs were great, Nozima,Yigitcan, Mr. Aren, and etc. The location is the best! We feel so comfortable to come back to our room -- it's like our home in Istanbul. When the tourist crowd is gone at night we feel living in the old palace, or at least in the neighborhood of Sultan's house. Very special and precious experience that we will cherish for a long time.

Great base to explore Istanbul from, being just round the corner from the main sites, it made it easy to beat the crowds in the morning, and enjoy the area without tourists in the evening. The courtyard near reception is a lovely refuge for a break during the day/in the evening. Both buffet and order-from-menu breakfasts were great, and we also enjoyed dinner at the greenhouse restaurant one night. I booked the cistern spa for one evening and it was fantastic and even healed my foot that I had twisted on the cobbles during the day! Wonderful staff - particularly enjoyed being sent off with water when leaving the hotel. Would definitely love to stay again when back in Istanbul.
