Küçük Ayasofya ("Little Hagia Sophia") is the ancient Byzantine Church of Saints Sergius and Bacchus converted to a mosque. It's down the hill to the south of the Blue Mosque.

You reach this area by walking downhill from the southeast corner of the Hippodrome along Nakilbent Sokak, or behind the Blue Mosque, through the Arasta Bazaar, and down Küçük Ayasofya Caddesi which runs downhill to the Küçük Ayasofya Mosque.

Along Küçük Ayasofya Caddesi, and to the left and right on side streets, are numerous hotels in a variety of styles and price ranges. From most, it's only a few minutes' walk uphill to the southwestern end of the Hippodrome, and a few more minutes to Ayasofya and Topkapi Palace.

Many of the hotels here have roof terraces and even roof restaurants with views of the Bosphorus, Sea of Marmara and Princes Islands.

Yunus Emre Hotel
Family-run, quiet, convenient to restaurants and close to the Hippodrome and all its sights, the Yunus Emre gives you quite a lot for your money. More...

Dersaadet Hotel
Lots of dark wood and bright smiles at this carefully restored and maintained 17-room inn in a quiet location with sweeping sea views from the rooftop terrace. More...

Tashkonak Hotel
Quiet, convenient, friendly (and family-friendly), with a charming little "secret garden" where the loudest sound is birdsong...only minutes from the Blue Mosque! More...

Sultan's Inn
A long-standing popular choice among Istanbul hotels, it's hidden off Küçük Ayasofya Caddesi which runs straight up a gentle slope to the main sights of Sultanahmet. More...

Deniz Konak Hotel
This ‘Sea Mansion’ is an inviting small Istanbul hotel tucked away down a side street away from the main hustle of Sultanahmet but just a pleasant ten-minute stroll away from the main sights. More...

Naz Wooden House
This tiny (7-room) inn was built right up against a stretch of Byzantine wall, so ancient stonework is part of the hotel decor. On a quiet street in a real Istanbul neighborhood, it's only a 10-minute walk from the major sights. More...

Bucoleon Palace Hotel
All four junior suites and the rooftop terrace at this new, quietly refined small hotel on a good untrafficked street have views of the Sea of Marmara. A few of the 7 guest rooms have views of the Blue Mosque. Decor is high-quality understated elegance, and the standard of service by the staff pleasingly high. Make your reservation directly with the hotel, tell them you've come from TurkeyTravelPlanner.com and you'll receive a complimentary fruit basket, bottle of wine, and Turkish Delight. More...
