    Just an ideal choice for a walk in evening in Istanbul with great for the money. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating throughout my stay. For a better dining experience, be sure to ask if there are any special options available at breakfast.

    historic sites location
    poor quality towels
    uncomfortable temperature

    Great location for exploring historic sites.

    Our stay at the hotel was unfortunately quite disappointing. The air conditioning in our room was stuck at a chilly 19 degrees, which was unbearable after spending days in the hot sun. Additionally, the cleanliness of the room was subpar. we found the bathroom amenities lacking and towels of poor quality. It felt like the hotel had gone down in standards compared to our previous visits.

    We had a great time staying here with friends! The location is perfect for exploring places like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, all within walking distance. Plus, the rooftop restaurant offers stunning views. The staff was super helpful, especially Yehya, who answered all our questions. Just a heads up, the breakfast was decent but not extensive.

    One downside was that the room felt a bit dated, and the bed was pretty firm, which may not suit everyone.

    breakfast variety
    taxi issues

    The location of Arden City Hotel is fantastic. Just a short walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, it's perfect for sightseeing. The staff are friendly and genuinely eager to help. Omer, in particular, went above and beyond to assist with plans and transportation. I loved the rooftop restaurant. great views and delicious food. My room, while clean and tidy, was on the smaller side and could have used a bit more space. The breakfast was adequate, though I wish there had been more variety. It was a bit noisy early in the morning due to nearby prayer services, so light sleepers should be prepared. Inconsistencies with the taxi prices arranged by the hotel were also frustrating—using an app would have avoided that issue.
