This was the second time I’ve stayed at the Arden City. This hotel is a gem in Istanbul. Great location-walking distance to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and the Covered Grand Bazaar. The staff are excellent, professional, polite and efficient. The food and view from the rooftop restaurant is amazing. All in all a marvelous place to stay.

My wife and I had an amazing stay. Staff was very friendly, especially Ozcur, he went above and beyond for us. Rooms were nice and the breakfast was okay. The location is excellent. Very close to all of the major tourist sites to go see. The view from the rooftop restaurant is truly amazing as well.

Everything was great, especially the hotel's location and the attitude of the hotel staff. Only during our stay, they were installing sensors and fire alarm buttons, which was annoying due to the sound of the workers' drills (maybe this will have stopped during your stay), but since the hotel's location was great, I wasn't bothered by the noise pollution at all.

Great position with views over Hagia Sophia and the Bosporus. Staff were all exceptional and pleasant. Our room although small , was well equipped. The room was unfortunately overlooking the road and the cars constantly blew horns every evening till late. The bed was a little hard for our liking, but the sheets and pillows were really good quality and bed was made every day. Breakfast on the roof terrace was limited , but the views made it worth it. We really enjoyed our stay ! Road noise excluded. With a few small improvements it could be sensational.
