I like the place and would come back again. It has a friendly staff, a nice view from the window of my room on the Bosfour, and an excellent location to walk along the water.

lovely building despite restoration going on inside

5/5 - Excellent

I always go here when I visit. It's one of my favourite buildings in Istanbul. The harmony and respect between Islam and Christianity is touching but the architecture is spectacular when you consider how old it actually is. Don't forget to touch the lucky spot on the weeping column (to the right as you exit the main mosque).
