The location was perfect, The guys at reception were great. The restaurant staff were very average. The breakfast room was very sad. The cleaners did not clean the room well, although the bed was clean. I felt we were an inconvenience. I would not recommend them.

Overall, I’m very satisfied. The best thing is the location. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Basilica Cistern are all within walking distance, which is extremely convenient.
The staff service was also excellent. Although they initially said that fulfilling my request for a room with a balcony would depend on availability, they ended up granting my request. From the balcony, I had a direct view of Hagia Sophia and was able to enjoy a stunning view.
One area for improvement is that the hairdryer would shut off too quickly.

This is my second stay at And Hotel.
Very nice hotel with an excellent terrace restaurant - with a beautiful view of Aya Sophia and Blue Mosque as well as the Bosphorus straight. Only a 5 minute walk from Aya Sophia, Blue Mosque and the Roman Cistern. Metro-tram stop just a few more steps away, also the hop-on bus "stop 1" is a 5 minute walk

Location is top notch and absolutely lovely staff! Literally 2 minutes to everything, you can see the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque from the restaurant terrace while having the lovely breakfast (included). The rooms themselves need a bit of refresh, a bit dated but such a nice and helpful staff that make your stay super comfortable. They made sandwiches for our 3 AM departure :)

Room with a view and a lot of sound.
The location is fantastic. It is right in the middle of the tourist District and has a great balcony view Hagia Sophia. The rooms are clean, but very small. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The drawback about me so close to being woken up every morning at about 4:40 AM to call to prayer.

Magnificent view
This hotel has the most awesome view of Haga Sophia. You can see this landmark building up close right from your room. I am convinced no other hotel has a better view of the Haga Sophia. I enjoyed my stay tremendously. The room was attractively furnished , very clean and spacious. The staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke English eloquently. The breakfast room had a splendid view. But it was the view from the room that thrilled me - the rooms have a ceiling to floor window which gives you a mind blowing view.
