We used the Aruna hotel for a week in Nov.. We took a chance as we had not been there before and knew nothing about it. The gamble paid off as the location was spot on. The staff could not have been more helpful. Rooms were spotless and had fresh sheets everyday. We will be going back Den and Lori more

We stayed in this hotel in the middle of Nov for 6 days. We would like to thank to every single member of the aruna hotel family for their unique hospitality.. Location, staff, rooms made the most of it. As everyone mentioned here about the breakfast, it was really wonderful start for a good day. We highly recommend this hotel... more

I stayed at the Aruna hotel for 3 days (my plan was to stay one day, but the hotel was so great that I extended twice) and it was my first time in Istanbul. The location was perfect, very close to tourist attractions but quiet and specially the service of the manager Yilmaz was excellent: very helpful, spoke perfect English... more

The Aruna Hotel is well situated and the staff are helpful. The Manager, Yilmaz Doruk, speaks perect English and arranged a taxi to pick us (cheaply) at the airport.

The breakfast was excellent.... more

Excellent value. We stayed for 6 nights. The location is very good - within an easy walk of almost all of the top tourist spots and the tram. Some local restaurants are OK, but ask the manager for recommendations on better ones (still within walking distance). Our room was a corner room and quite large by European standards, the bathroom... more

My girlfriend and I spent four nights at Aruna Hotel in Sultanahmet at the very beginning of November. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by Yilmaz, the manager.

We had to move hotels after two nights and chose the Aruna after reviewing it on TripAdviser and were not disappointed and stayed a further 4 nights. Although the room was slightly small it was very comfortable and well located if you don't mind a short walk up the hill to Sultanhamet where most of the major sights are located.... more
