Their service is excellent. Very safe area for tourists. Walking distance from the main attractions, shops, restaurants and the tram station. Dedending on the room chosen, you can have a breathtaking view of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque and the Bosphosous. Their muhammara at breakfast is to die for.

Great hotel

This is a really nice hotel in a really central location. A very easy walk to the Blue Mosque and other key attractions. It is super close to all the old town sites and very handy to transport options. The hotel’s restaurant has an amazing view over the city. The room was spacious and the bed was comfy.

Hotel is overall 3-4 star. Our room is a standard sea view which has a nice view of the Mosque & Hagia Sophia. Very nice location in the heart of everything you need Less than 5 min walk to Metro. They can improve the breakfast. Fried Eggs are very toasted and very dry. Our bathroom has a smell. Kinda like a sewer smell.

Very pleased with this hotel, was in a great location within walking distance of all the main sightseeing areas in the old town. Also walking distance to the tram station and a further 20 minute walk to Eminonu - from where you can take the ferry . The room was nice with a separate space for keeping bags and with an inbuilt safe. The front desk was very helpful . Bell boys were very helpful in showing us the right train station and how to go about it. Complimentary breakfast was an absolute delight with wonderful menu options and being on the rooftop had a good view of the city

The Hotel Arcadia is ideally located in the center of the old Istanbul. Most of the touristic attractions are nearby which is great given that we like to walk to take the “pulse” of the cities and places we visit. However, the room that we were assigned upon checking in was far below par. (Room 201) A bad smell that resembles the smell of a sewer was present and the room/furniture was dirty. Some light bulbs were burnt out and there was issues with some of the light switches that were not functioning. To top it all, the heating/ventilation system was defective (too hot and too cold at times) not mentioning the presence of mould in the shower area and a floor that was in need of tender loving care. After complaining about all this for three days, we were finally a “normal, functioning and clean” room. (When we reserved our room at the Arcadia Blue, the room we chose was said to be a “Deluxe” room.). The new room was ok but certainly not what we were expecting from a great hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. That’s probably the best attribute of this centrally located hotel. The breakfast were excellent as well with a good variety to choose from. All in all, we would recommend the Arcadia Blue to other travellers but be aware of the deficiencies that we have highlighted in this review. The owner(s) of this hotel need(s) to invest some money in the infrastructure of this hotel. Tourism is a lucrative industry in Turkey and the tourists ate important.
