My constant choice
Posted Mar 21, 2017 on CheapTicketsThe third time I stay at this hotel. The best location in the city, low price, friendly staff, good breakfast - all perfectly!
Без дураков - за такие деньги и с таким превосходным локейшеном лучше в Стамбуле не найти, отличный вариант.

Nice people but outdated hotel
Posted Dec 13, 2015 on HotelsWhile the hotel was in a great area, this hotel is outdated and needs help. I was there the end of October when the weather was cool. THe room they gave me had a draft. I complained that the heat was not working. The nice man at the front desk came to turn it on, but it never worked. At midnight I called the front desk, but no one answered so I put on every stich of clothing I owned. At 4 a.m. I went down to the front desk to wake up a man for a new room. He gave me a thin comforter and told me to check with the front desk in the morning. I did, and was given a room with a heater that eventually worked, but this was after trying about 6 rooms.
The front desk people were nice, but when I asked for a refund, was told that I must contact the booking agency I used.
THis hotel is in a great neighborhood, and has wonderful people, but if it is cold, I don't recommend staying here. The rooms are small and my rooms had a building backing up to them with no view at all.

The Best of Everything.
Posted Oct 24, 2015 on HotelsAs a disabled man on holiday this hotel was perfect, The Basilica Cistern is a 30 second walk, The Hagia Sofya and the Topkapi Palace are across the road. The Blue Mosque is a 5 minute walk, you get the picture, everything is on the doorstep. The food in the Ares Hotel is excellent, try the Turkish and Ottoman menu, you will be pleasantly surprised, also the Turkish breakfast is first class. I was given help with everything. The Ares Hotel is not the biggest or the most famous but it's the hotel that I will go back to because it is friendly, central, good food and very helpful, why pay more. I am looking forward to my next visit to Istanbul and my stay in The Ares Hotel, Sultanahmet.

Great location
Posted Sep 23, 2015Very local to tourist spots. Many restaurants in area. Staff was great and tried their English skills. The room had not been swept well and the bed cover not clean but sheets were clean. Good breakfast.
Over all the hotel was great and I would stay there again.

Perfect Location!
Posted Sep 14, 2015You can't find a better location than this for tourism. Literally steps from the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Basillica Cistern. Short walk or tram ride (the T1 is right outside the door) to the Grand Bazzar, The Golden Bridge, and many ferry terminals.
The staff are all friendly and go out of their way to take care of you.
From the airport, you can take the M1a line to the T1 line and ride transit all the way to the hotel for 8 Lira.
