Hotel Ligos is a wonderful hotel with friendly staff and cozy rooms, located in the heart of Fatih district, two minutes walk from Aya Sofia and Sultan Ahmet Square. Breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking the sea. The area is very quiet, ideal for family holidays.

Amazing location, room size is a bit small but good for a family of 3. You can cover almost all the main attractions on foot from this place. Not a very feasible option for the people requiring walking aids as you have to travel up the slope and down slope. The staff is amazing, almost feels like home and you can enjoy breakfast on the terrace with some amazing views. There are shops and stores near by

I stayed here when I was holidaying in Istanbul. It's a nice boutique hotel with limited facilities but at the same time full fledged too. Rooms are clean, service is good, reception staff is excellent. I found only one limitation that the breakfast is limited and is the same everyday, sometimes they carry forward few things leftover too. Now, this is a problem with guests staying there 3-4 days, as they have to eat the same type of breakfast everyday. Other than that everything was good.
I would like to stay again with them.

A cozy, quiet, and spotless hotel in Sultanahmet, just minutes away from the Blue Mosque, Ayasofia and other archeologiacal sites/museum. The staff is quite helpful and friendly. The buffet breakfast is equal parts scrumptious and plentiful. A 'Turkish delight' indeed.

Everything was great in the hotel: the location was excellent, max. 10 min walk to all the touristic places, few min walk to great restaurant in the city center. The cleaness of the hotel is extraordinary, our room was super clean all the time, towels were changed everyday and got water whenever we ran out of it. The room is cozy with comfortable bed, enough place to keep our belongings and there is enough space in the bathroom as well, even if you’re tall you won’t have problem taking a shower. They offer great breakfast on the rooftop with nice view to the city and sea.

We felt welcomed and cared for before we ever arrived in Turkey! The staff was quick to respond to our questions and very helpful setting up a reasonably priced airport transfer, greatly simplifying our arrival. The rooms and common areas were tastefully done and very clean. The room was a bit small but we weren't in it much as the location is so convenient to sights and restaurants we could easily enjoy the historic district. We also enjoyed a lovely breakfast and view on the terrace each morning. We would gladly return!

the staircase is dirty and dusty. a room full of dust, remnants of hair from previous guests. spider web everywhere. view from the room to the construction site.! bad experience.!
Share your experiences, help others make the right choice!
