Sura Hagia Sophia Hotel
A standard room is so small, especially the bathroom is so tiny. I am unable to pretend it is a 5 star hotel. Valet parking staff is not always on duty.

Hotel Amira Istanbul
Great, spacious room. Staff were superb. Lovely view from the rooftop (no food/drinks service however during winter), and a fantastic location near the major sights of Sultanahmet. The breakfast spread was generous with a selection of Western and Turkish options.
