Excellent place to stay, minor issue with bath though. Staff were welcoming and warm. Rooms were clean. Great breakfast options and incredible view. We were at the top floor, so our bedrooms had excellent views across the city too. They kept our bags for us in the reception after we checked out until our flight too which was great. One drawback was that the bath/shower was part jacuzzi, but the jacuzzi didn’t work and had green mold(?) growing in where the bubbles used to come out. When I had a bath, the green streaked down so it was clearly growing. But that’s a minor issue, loved our stay!. .

An excellent hotel. We visited Istanbul in June 25. After checking the good reviews on here and due to its location, we decided to book the Hotel Arden for 7 nights. We weren’t disappointed. The hotel was great, the staff were all very helpful and nice. Our room was great and it had a view all the way down to the Mosque and it was interesting to watch the hustle and bustle at times. We ate out at a lot of different places whilst here, but I have to say, the food we did have at the Arden Hotel was actually the best food we had anywhere. The hotel’s location is just about perfect for most of the must see tourist attractions. It’s also a quick walk to the nearest tram stop once you work out a useful short cut. I don’t suppose we will be likely to go back to Istanbul, but if we do we will use this hotel again.. .

Fantastic location & great service. The Arden City Hotel is centrally located in the historical centre of Istanbul which makes a great place stay if you want to visit sites such as the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Basilica Cistern, Cagaloglu Hamami and Topkapi Palace. All these sites are within 5mins walk from the hotel. It’s also very close to restaurants and shops. The manager & staff are very friendly and attentive to your needs. We were able to get advice on how to get the other key sites such as Galata Bridge which was less than 20 mins walk and Grand Bazaar which was less than 15mins walk. We were given regular supplies of water and rooms were cleaned daily. The rooms are a very good size and was clean except for abit of dust. However when we informed reception one of the staff quickly appeared with cleaning equipment to clean up the dust. The rooms are also cleaned everyday. Overall we had a wonderful stay at the Arden city hotel and had a great experience. If you are looking for a hotel in a central location which offers superb service then the Arden City Hotel is for you. It might not be modern but it is certainly clean and spacious and the location puts it in top spot especially if you plan on visiting the famous tourist sites during your visit. Some tips: You can buy a tram card at the tram stop behind the hotel for less than £2.50 (130 lira). It’s a very cost efficient way of travelling around Istanbul. Grand Bazaar was fun to visit but expensive. You can buy things cheaper elsewhere in Istanbul. It’s roughly 40 -50 min journey from the airport to hotel (vice versa) with no traffic. If you are travelling to the airport in the afternoon/ evening give yourself ample time for travel as traffic is very bad during this period.. .

Our second visit to Arden City Hotel!. Second visit to Arden City Hotel! We planned a second trip to the beautiful city of Istanbul and only came as we saw the rooms at this hotel where available. Why? The staff at Arden have treated us with great compassion on our first visit. On our second visit we met some new staff and also senior staff who recognised us and welcomed us back. Arden City Hotel is at an excellent location point. It has breathtaking views of the Bosphorus from its terrace restraunt where you can enjoy breakfast with a lovely view. Hagia Sophia is seen beautifully from here. Grand camcilla in the far distant hills another stunning and enormous mosque. Galata tower and surrounding areas. The staff at the hotel are very welcoming. Greeting you and answering questions at the best of their abilities. I even had an order delivered to the hotel with no issues by the staff and kept safely for me whilst i was out. Arden City Hotel is a short 10 minutes walk to the grand bazar. The Sultanhamet tramstop is located near the blue mosque, which is another short journey. Hagia Sophia is 2 minutes away by foot. You can walk to the ferries and eygyptian bazar again about 10 minutes away. This hotel is not only convenient. It has budget friendly prices and amazing staff. I am writing this on the way to the airport at 6 am. The staff gave me and my wife a sandwich each and some fruits to have for breakfast. They make you feel more like family, really. I am confident I will book here again on my next trip to Istanbul, god willing! I recommend this hotel to my friends and family as much as I recommend it to you. Thank you, Arden City Hotel, for making my visit great again! Asaad . .

An exceptionally pleasant experience in home away from home!. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and it's location was super in the heart of al-Fatih district, but it's most prominent feature was it's family-like, friendly, and exceptionally caring and cooperating staff. While enjoying it's satisfying breakfast, we were also enjoying the view which included three of Istanbul's most famous, Sultan Ahmad Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Golden Horn. This was not our first time in Istanbul, but it was our first time in the hotel, and we will not hesitate to go back to the same pleasant experience once and again.. .

Amazing views from the terrace.. A wonderful hotel in an ideal location, a short walk away from the major historical attractions. The staff were professional and very helpful, especially Ozgur & Omar who helped with any queries we had and greeted us with a welcoming smile every time we came back to the hotel. The hotel restaurant on the terrace had amazing views of the Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Bosporus River. The chef Memet was always happy to cook something at request exactly how we wanted it. Mineh was very attentive and polite. Thankyou for the hospitality.. .

Bring your own hairdryer. The Arden is a great hotel for tourists staying 1-2 nights with the goal of hitting the Sultanahmet tourist sites. The staff is professional and attentive, and the property is clean and well maintained. The rooftop view at breakfast is a magical way to start the day, and there are a lot of options to choose from for breakfast. It is very easy to find the hotel and to get to public transport. Wifi was decent, AC worked well. The only things I didn't like was the hairdryer (which barely provided any heat to dry hair) and the lack of security for the rooms. I had people knock on my door several times, but did not answer because there was no safe way to do so. The door does not have a chain or a peephole to view who is outside. For those with mobility issues--- while there is a one-person elevator to the 6th floor, there is still a steep set of stairs to climb to get to the breakfast room.. .
