I really liked the hotel. The staff is polite and helpful, trying to answer all questions and solve all problems. The breakfasts are delicious. The interior is not new, there is antique furniture in the hall, a house with a history. There were minor flaws like a broken TV, although it was not particularly needed. There are several rooms with a veranda and views of the Bosphorus, atmospheric. The location is good, within walking distance of the main attractions, souvenir shops and restaurants. In general, the impressions of the stay are very positive, the hotel itself is interesting and also a kind of attraction.

Great hotel. The administrators are very friendly, they speak English and Russian.
We had a room on the 4th floor with a sea view.
The room is spacious, with a large balcony.
Very clean. It's a great mattress. The room has a TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, safe - everything is working.
Delicious breakfast - no frills, but we didn't stay hungry. I can't hear the neighbors. If you look at the street, it's small and quiet. Rooms below 2-3 floors, with windows facing the sea, have a view of a blank wall or a backyard and trees.

The hotel is very cozy and quiet. It is located in the historical part of the city. All the sights are nearby. The breakfasts at the hotel are very tasty, a decent assortment, fresh vegetables and fruits.

I really liked the hotel. It is located in the very center. The room was cleaned every day, the bed linen was changed every day. The breakfasts are good, there is a choice. We had a room with a balcony, a view of the Bosphorus, amazing.

Wonderful. Helpful staff, nice rooms, we had a Jacuzzi in our room and it was working)). Cons-there are no small things-no shoe sponges, no shoe horn. But there is a refrigerator and water. It's too bad that breakfast is very scarce, and sometimes it's not enough. If you don't want to be picky, then it's normal

The staff is very friendly, they create the feeling that you were expected. The breakfasts are delicious and for every taste from 7:30 in the morning.
There is a nice interior inside. The beds are comfortable, the room was not super spacious, the hair dryer did not work, but I think they would have given another one. I liked everything. All the sights are within a 7-minute walk.
I was settled on the ground floor, I could hear a dog, a garbage truck.
I highly recommend this hotel for your stay in Istanbul.
I took the photo at the time of departure

A small, cozy hotel, located on a quiet street, but at the same time a few minutes from Sultanahmet Square and tram stops. The rooms are small, cleaned every day.

A wonderful hotel, with an excellent location in the old town. To all attractions (Topkapi, mosques, Galata Bridge)close at hand! Very convenient. We really liked the breakfasts, the buffet, for a hotel of this category in Istanbul is very diverse. Judging by the reviews of other hotels and our friends who stayed in the hotel nearby, but they had just an egg and bread with a slice of cucumber more expensive. Here is a great, varied breakfast, after which I went outside and walked around all the sights. Our room was on the 2nd floor very clean, a view of the mosque, but we had no alarm clock, everything is as in the photo.

A lovely cozy family hotel in the city center. All the main attractions are within walking distance. The breakfasts are decent, I'm picky, the only negative is the coffee in the 3in1 coffee machine

A wonderful hotel! The numbers are tiny, but it suits me. There is a lot of food for breakfast, everything is delicious. Very nice guys work at the reception. It is located in a convenient location, literally 20 minutes on foot to all the main attractions. The rooms are clean, cleaned every day

A heartfelt hotel within walking distance from Hagia Sophia and other attractions of the old part of Istanbul. The metro is a 5-minute walk away. A good breakfast. Polite staff. Cleaning every day.

A good hotel is close to the sights (but the metro is far away, it's difficult to walk for 20 minutes when the heat is hot, and if the weather is good, it's comfortable; we had a situation - we couldn't call a taxi (we had to go 4 km, so we walked to the metro ...)
Friendly staff, normal breakfasts. We took a nice room with a balcony, new plumbing there 👍

A normal hotel. There is no restaurant and the nearest one is three blocks away, but clever guys bring food to the room from a good menu with pictures. In general, it's okay to drop in for the night. Oh, here's another thing. There is no shower in the room. Only a huge Jacuzzi))) Since I wanted to rinse cleanly, and not dive half the evening, I had to wash from the Jacuzzi shower hose. But I'm not picky. For this money, I would be glad for less.))

I have been to Istanbul many times, the Arena Hotel is the best hotel, the second time I stay in it. Good location on a quiet street, but close to the main attractions. Friendly staff, clean rooms with beautiful design.

Visited in November. It was raining heavily. A room on the top floor with a loggia. The generator was making a lot of noise on the roof, there was a smell of exhaust fumes, a lot of water flowed into the room from the balcony door. It's cold in the room. The lights were constantly going out. They asked for another number. They quickly moved to another, more modest, but clean and dry without foreign odors. The heater was brought

A wonderful hotel! on a quiet street, neat inside, the breakfasts are not bad, the room is clean, cleaned every day, the beds are comfortable. the audibility is not great. Turkish vibe is pleasant from carpets and jewelry)) the room has everything you need, including blackout curtains. there is a mosque nearby, the azan may interfere with someone, but in Istanbul it is everywhere)

It is inexpensive and 10 minutes on foot to the main attractions of the city. Breakfast, of course, leaves much to be desired, but you will not stay hungry. Cozy, clean. It was a bit difficult to figure out the transition system to get to the room (go from the reception to the elevator, down, go to the second elevator, up, go to the room). In general, we were satisfied.

This hotel is not 4 stars. We arrived at the hotel at ten o'clock in the evening. They were quickly issued and settled in room 105! The room is located in a basement with windows in the wall. Up to the wall - 30 cm! The room is small, the furniture is old, prefabricated. The headboard of the bed is nailed to the wall. The bed is a mattress on a mattress. There is only one bedside table. There is a lamp on it that turns on and off by pulling the plug out of the socket. The outlet is located behind the bedside table. And next to it is another ruined outlet. There is another outlet for the kettle, under the dressing table, which is also a tea table, i.e. the kettle should be on the floor. The lighting in the room is dim. The shower didn't work, I had to call an employee. The room also has a small refrigerator and a TV that shows only one program. We don't actually need a TV, but this is a service that is included in the payment. The Internet is very slow. The robes were given out only after the request. There are no normal sneakers. I understand that the hotel has suites, but the service and star rating of the hotel should be based on a standard room, not a suite. And if this is not a standard room, then you need to warn about it in advance or refund part of the payment for such a room (of course, no one offered this). And so it turns out to be a complete deception. Therefore, when booking, ask to send a photo or description of your room specifically. Everyone writes about a good location. Indeed, it is only 5 minutes to the main attractions. But there are such hotels through every house. Towels were changed every day, the bed was made and the trash was taken out. The floor was lightly wiped. Breakfast is very poor for 4 stars. Scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, French fries with sausages (not enough for everyone, especially sausages) greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, fruits, 3 types of artificial sausages, cheese and one type of cheese, breakfast cereals. There is no cottage cheese, no yoghurts. Of course, you can treat everything philosophically, but everything is positioned as 4 stars, so you want to get the appropriate service. I cannot recommend this hotel as a 4-star hotel.

A nice hotel is pleasant. But not rocky. There's just a wall at the back. But the view from the cafe of the flying balls is just a super. There is also an exit to the roof to watch the valley with the balloons taking off.
