The location of Villa Sofia couldn’t be better. Just steps away from the beach and a bustling shopping street. The views from the rooftop terrace were stunning, giving a great panorama of the sea and the Blue Mosque. Breakfast options varied each day, with plenty of delicious choices. Staff here were incredibly helpful, attending to our needs and ensuring a comfortable stay. However, the breakfast menu got a bit repetitive after a few days. The room itself was clean but small, not quite what I expected. Also, some noise from nearby bars disturbed our nights, which was a downside. Overall, the value for the price paid was good, but soundproofing could use improvement.

I had an amazing stay and loved the stunning view from the rooftop terrace while sipping the best Turkish coffee from Mehmet! During my time, I enjoyed relaxing on the sun terrace and felt rejuvenated after a foot massage. The only thing was some morning traffic noise, but it didn’t bother me at all—just bring some earplugs for a smoother wake-up! 😊

The rooftop breakfast area was lovely, views of the ancient skyline were nice, it felt like I was living in a postcard. Plus, the staff, they went all out to help us with every request, like that airport transfer we didn’t expect!
It wasn't exactly cheap, but still acceptable given the experience.

Great stay with awesome views
Had a fab time here! Our room was super clean and spacious. The best part? The view of the Marmara Sea was straight-up stunning. Plus, the breakfast was legit tasty every morning! Only thing was, we could hear the restaurant noise from our room at night, which was a bit annoying. But overall, perfect location to explore all the historic sites nearby.
