The perfect location - it is less than 5 min to the main places to see. Great look from the room. Good rooms : clean and big. It is a great pleasure to have dinner in the restaurant of this hotel - you will enjoy the great look of Aya-Sofia. Very friendly staff willing to help any time. I will... More

Very well located to main attractions with great view of Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia from restaurant. Food and rooms average or perhaps a little better, certainly acceptable. Wi-F above 4th floor sporadic. Staff very helpful, especially Ali and Emri.

We stayed at the Arcadia in the end of September for two nights. We had problems with the air conditioner it never really worked. Our windows in our room were open when we checked in. So we closed them and turned on the AC. It never got cooler and the room was full of mosquitos. They sprayed the room numerous... More

This hotel is well located in the old town and has a beautiful view from the rooftop restaurant. It has no other attributes. We were assigned room 206 by a rude and unhelpful front desk employee. Our electronic room key required 20-25 tries in order to open the door and sometimes it did not work at all. The room was... More

Friendly accomadating staff in this stylish well positioned hotel in the heart of Sultanahmet on the top of one of the hills. It has the most incredible 360 degree view of Istanbul from the roof terrace where you have your breakfast which is excellent quality and a wide variety to choose from. You can even feed the seagulls which was... More

The views from the 6th floor resturant terrace were simple stunning. At sunrise, we watched to sun come up over the Blue Mosque in Sultanahmet. My only issue was the A/C did not work. Luckily the weather was warm, so was not a big issue.

We stayed one night in this hotel and were grateful that it was not more. The room was very small, no space to open our suitcases, the ceiling had water damage (mold) and the airco did not work. When we opened the windows mozzies flew in. The mattress was very poor and old. The restaurant prices were very high for... More

The hotel is a bit run down, though some rooms are better than others. Great views from some hotel rooms and from the roof top cafe. The cafe/restaurant is poor and service can be lackadaisical.

This hotel is expensive considering its facilities but it is second to none in location and the views from the restuarant are spectacular. Staff undertrained and pretty hopeless. Restaurant is good for views only whether by day or night, the food is appalling, in our party the beef stroganoff had 2 small pieces of beef and no mushroom, the vegetable... More

Probably one of the nicest views that I have had in a hotel. It is in a great location. Other than that it gets a very poor rating. The staff was very unfriendly and unaccomodating. They seemed very aloof but it isn't that nice of a hotel. When I had a question they wouldn't answer over the phone and made... More
