La posizione è imbattibile

Staff molto cordiale che ci ha risolto un grosso problema col taxi e ha fatto in modo che non perdessimo il volo. Colazione varia e molto buona. Posizione imbattibile per quel prezzo. A 5 minuti a piedi dalle moschee principali e dalla Basilica Cisterna.

Stanza un pò piccola (o mobili un pò sovradimensionati) e buia al piano seminterrato. (Però pulita) Asciugacapelli non funzionante (per me che ero raffreddata e coi capelli lunghi è stato un problema anche perché essendo a parete non hanno potuto sostituirlo) e pochi asciugamani.

A lovely hotel right in the middle of the old town. Close to restaurants and the square.

Fantastic location and excellent staff. We had a lovely stay in this great boutique hotel in the old town of Istanbul. close to restaurants and the square. We couldn’t have asked for more accommodating staff, they were exceptional.

Good quality stay.

Hotel Location, room, breakfast and staff all were good. Breakfast was mainly Turkish with a slight touch of continental dishes. Overall I would say the breakfast was very good compared to other hotels where I stayed. For staff, I will give them 10 out of 10. Very informative, supportive. Just tell them what you want and they will arrange it for you. Coffee machine always available near reception. My kids enjoyed Hot chocolate from there whenever they needed. One best thing was that the hotel offered me to store my extra luggage in their store if I dont want to carry it with me during my travel to other cities of Turkey. That was very nice gesture. I would like to stay here again.

Nothing special. Our room was in the lower floor as the connecting family room were located only at lower floors. The stay would be even great if we could have got the rooms on upper floors. But still it is not the deal breaker.

Très bon séjour à l’hôtel Arena

La proximité du centre histoyy et issue, quartier animé, restaurants très variés à proximité ainsi que les balades sur les rives du Bosphore, personnel très agréable et professionnel, hamman et massages sur place très chouettes!

Quelques clients bruyants lors d’arrivée tardives en soirée

Hotel ricco di fascino, da non perdere.

Ci siamo trovati benissimo. È un palazzo d'epoca curato nei dettagli con un'atmosfera familiare e antica. La camera angolare è molto bella, letto comodissimo, lo staff sempre disponibile e gentile, la colazione ricca :salato, dolce e specialità turche. In cinque minuti a piedi si raggiunge la Moschea blu, in poco più la stazione del tram. Ci sono molti ristoranti e negozi nelle vicinanze. La via in cui si trova l'hotel è tranquilla, non si sente il traffico. Lo consigliamo senza dubbio. Noi siamo stati molto soddisfatti della nostra scelta.

La prima notte, grazie ad un upgrade un po' forzato, abbiamo dormito in una camera con terrazzo vista Bosforo, bella, per altri magari anche migliore, ma meno vicina al nostro gusto personale, Dalla sera successiva abbiamo soggiornato nella stanza prenotata che ci è piaciuta veramente moltissimo.

Recomand acest hotel cu mare drag!

Noua chiar ne-a plăcut tot! Camera este spațioasă, foarte curată,fără vreun miros in camera sau baie, lenjeria impecabila, patul imens! Interesantă ideea cu peretele din geam dintre baie și dormitor, felicitări!!! Personalul ospitalier, ne-au ajutat cu locul de parcare. Micul dejun bogat și diversificat. As reveni cu drag!

Puțin cam dificil de ajuns la locație, mai ales când vii pentru prima data.

Fantastic experience

I stayed here for a week over Christmas, in a Queen room. I could not have been happier or better looked after. The hotel is very well furnished, with traditional furniture in the communal areas but contemporary in the bedrooms. The bed was very comfortable and everything worked as it should. The breakfast range is extensive and very good quality. The neighbourhood is quiet but within easy reach of all the main sights. There is a mosque opposite and the muezzin that recites the call to prayer has possibly the best voice in Istanbul! Above all the staff were wonderful - nothing is too much trouble and they were extremely kind to me. They taught me Turkish, gave me advice, sourced gluten-free bread, told me about their country and made me laugh. Istanbul is an incredible, beautiful city and I am so pleased I visited. Staying at the Arena contributed hugely to a very good holiday. I will be back!

I wish the restaurant was open as it looks wonderful

A decent hotel especially for families looking for a budget friendly stay.

The room size was good and clean Hotel was close to blue mosque Quick and easy check in. Staff were helpful Shower pressure and water temperature in the family suite was very good.

No iron to use in rooms. If you want to iron clothes, you have to give it to the laundry service (charged) Breakfast could be more varied.

Amazing hotel! Highly recommended.

The staff was polite and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. They were really helpful in advising us places to visit and greeted us warmly every time we entered. Rooms were cleaned nicely by the room service.

The turkish breakfast was really nice but would've liked some things added to accommodate those from other countries. There was some items but not a wide range. My kids lived off pancakes and waffles everyday.

Very good quality for its price

It is very near to the tourist attractions. We liked the room, very large and comfortable.

The hotel offers quite an expensive transportation from the airport. Double the price as the standard taxis. And the employees were not helping us nicely to organize the normal taxi. I think the employees could be better instructed to help with the normal taxis for those who don't require their luxury transportation. The neighborhood doesn't have as good restaurants as others. It is clearly very touristic area. So I recommend going to other areas for eating well and not paying much.
