Elite World Istanbul Taksim

4/10 Poor

"It’s not like 5 star hotel. They want cash deposits which is not good at all. It’s like 4 star hotel."

Titanic City Taksim

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was mazing. We are a family of 5 and had 2 rooms booked. They were immaculate, very clean and well maintained. Anything we needed in the rooms was immediately attended to, even with questions about local issues the staff at reception were extremely pleasant. The location was perfect, close to everything and yet away from noise. It was safe at all hours and had a lot of food options right outside which was great for late night snacks. The breakfast was of a very high standard."

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing time at the Arcadia Blue hotel at Sultanahmet. It’s a wonderful hotel and the staff were super helpful and accommodating. The location was fantastic, you could literally walk to every attractions in the area from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Topkapi, Grand Bazaar, etc. the tram is just minutes away if you need to go other areas. Very kid friendly - we travelled with a toddler. The view from the hotel looking at the blue mosque is just unbelievable. And the rooftop breakfast area and the view is just stunningly gorgeous. Everything about the hotel is top notch from location, cleanliness, A/C, staff and all. We are already planning our next visit to this hotel in December. Keep up the great job."
