An amazing location - close to all major sights of Istanbul, a few minutes on foot to Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Basilica Cistern, tram stop and restaurants. A wonderful staff, particularly many thanks go to Hasan, who was always taking good care of us and creating good mood at breakfast, and Mohammed from the reception who helped us with moving to a larger room and gave the transport card. Other staff very helpful, too. I liked a wonderful view from the restaurant terrace on the top floor (you see water, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque). Buffet breakfast was delicious and offered a wide food selection, including omelet on request, fresh and dried fruit, cakes, Turkish coffee, among many other choices. The hotel spa offers free sauna and steam room. The room with separate beds was large, comfortable and quiet, facing the inner courtyard (many thanks to Mohammed who helped to move from a smaller room). A wonderful stay, can't wait to go back to Istanbul and to stay again at Antusa Design Hotel!

Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can explore its vast structure from the inside with a visit to the museum that’s now housed within the walls.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

    Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

    Oh, what a delight.

    Oh, what a delight. I’m an open minded Christian so I appreciate such a wonderful and special place is still in place. You have to admitted if it wasn’t the Muslims it (probably) shared the fate of Acropolis. Is a wonder it does not crumble during times. Really. I was not able to take two straight pictures in a row, such a marvel of architecture is it, patch after patch. Is not the Pantheon, is not Basilica di San Pietro, but is still there. I also have to appreciate they respect the history and prior faith and do not cover part of the old (Christinas) paintings.

    The history is stunning and the main room is beautiful as well as the mosaics. However, I was underwhelmed considering they now charge to go in and you cannot go on the main floor (a result of it being turned into a mosque). Also the carpet choice doesn't help with the overall site. I think the other mosques were better. Also, there are LONG queues to buy a ticket and then queues to go in. I would recommend going to the Hagia Sophia experience museum (across the Obelisk) and buy tickets there.

    Insanely long lines deterred us, although you can take great shot elsewhere. Whether you are a man or woman, you need to cover up. Ladies with shawl, long sleeves, and down to ankles. Men with pants and at least a t-shirt (no tank tops). Otherwise, no entry.

    Once the seat of Christianity under Constantine the Great where Istanbul's original name came from (Constantinople) Still a very spiritual place where Christianity and Islam combine Worth a visit but go early many, many want to go. Take your time and view the murials on the upper floor

Whenever we had a question about something the staff immediately helped us. Room was very clean, breakfast was wonderful and varied every day, the spa as well was very lovely. Location is good too, only a 15min walk away from Hagia Sophia. I highly recommend this hotel.

The location of the hotel was good as it is close to Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, as well as a tram station. We would rate this hotel higher if we could, 11/10.

The tram station was only 8 minutes away, making it easy to travel across Istanbul. The staff were super friendly, helpful, and made us feel very welcome.

    Location is perfect to visit most of the attractions of Istanbul (no longer than 40 mins by foot to go to Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazar, ...). Reaching the hotel from the Istanbul IST airport is very easy: it takes about 1 hour by a couple of metros (M11 and M2), and is very cheap (no need to take expensive taxy). Once you reach Yenikapi metro station, the hotel is 5 min by foot. Rooms were clean and quiet. Staff very kind.

    Blue Mosque & Hagia Sofia are both jaw droppingly stunning inside. Avoid the huge tour group queues & go straight to the top of the line, else you'll wait for hours. I was in (in both places), in 10 minutes without being pushy.
