Arena Hotel - Special Class - Istanbul

Decent Stay Near Major Attractions

The location was perfect for sightseeing, though accessing our room was a bit tricky. The breakfast area felt cramped, but we appreciated the local flavor in the pastries. For future guests, request a room on lower floors for better accessibility.

Hotel Arena is a lovely house, nicely furnished, great rooms with view, very pleasant and friendly staff. I very much appreciate its location, the quality of breakfast buffet, the terrace...highly recommendable for a discovery trip of Istanbul.

Prices for massage and hammam seem really a bit too expensive.

Room was cosy, neat and well presented. Customer service was prompt and always helpful and friendly. Location meant a very short walk to the Hypodrome, nearby tourist areas ans shopping, and the tram network. Taxi pickup was prompt and convenient to the airport on our departure. We would recommend this Hotel to family & friends.

Proximity to historical landmarks, Unique architectural style, Quiet inner courtyard

Inconsistent internet service plagues the stay!!! Rooms too small for comfort!!! Basement level rooms suffer from dampness and lack of light.

It was a really really nice stay on a working vacation. The room with a king size bed. The staff were amazingly nice! The hotel had an excellent location close to Ataturk.

Very courteous staff and clean room. Very good value for money.

Being in old city, location is not ideal. The roads are narrow and Istanbul traffic is terrible.

Great historic charm!

the staff help us about find the hotel and they have airport shuttle. the building was nice old fashion turkish house.

From our arrival,staff were excellent,nothing to much trouble we were made really welcome. we would revisit again

Restaurant prices in euros. turkish currency is the lira.......an effort could be made .resulting inmore clients eating in the restaurant in evenings...... I must say buffet breakfasts were very good, lots of variety&plenty of it.

The breakfast is fantastic with tons of choices, including an array of cold cuts and salads. The staff is super friendly and always ready to assist.

the uphill walk is quite tiring sometimes 😅

Wonderful hotel in a very nice boutique building with exceptional views of the sea. The restaurant was nice, for breakfast.

The breakfast was very poor, the room was in desperate need of repair the two bedroom windows were cracked and you could not open the window as it was broken and would fall into the room. We booked a twin room but when we arrived the room we had booked was occupied so we were put down in a basement room until the following night when the room was available.. I would recommend that people look at other hotels in the area as the area was ideal. The cleaning staff were very good but the

would be happy to recommend for a weekend excursion

Charming hotel, conveniently located, with a good breakfast that includes fresh pastries and traditional Turkish options.

Location was ok, very convenience to visit old town; helpful and friendly staff

Thank you for a really good stay. Very competent staff, wonderful views on the Marmara Sea, everything is first-class. The breakfast is healthy, includes scrambled eggs and yoghourt. The imperial suite is silent and has a mini-fridge-bar, climate control and an individual safe. The location is stunning and excellent, next morning everything was fixed. Besides, we enjoyed the lake, located within 15 mins walk of the hotel.
