Richard
I had perfectly pleasant days staying at this trendy boutique hotel. Booked brand-new & beautifully maintained room with sea views. The breakfast included yogurt and scrambled eggs, overall it was savoury and delicious. The location was favourable, only 5 minutes walk to a functioning mosque. The venue was set in a nice quiet area.

The property was impeccably clean, the room was well-equipped and well decorated. The offered breakfast was savoury and healthy and included lots of options. Also, location was excellent and absolutely perfect, walking distance from a historic mosque. The area was nice quiet near to all major historic sites and museums.
Unfortunately Wi-Fi was pretty slow.

Wonderful trendy boutique hotel with particularly nice views on the Marmara Sea. Particularly good and beautiful location relatively near Sultanahmet District Public Square. Very nice stay in nice quiet area.
Very cold bathroom.

The hotel was wonderful and spotless, overlooked the ocean. A flat-screen TV with cable channels, central heating and a personal safe in the room and the exceptionally comfortable bed. Very early check-in, parking nearby. Late check-out. Outstandingly accommodating staff especially the manager, marvellous location. Again, walking distance to an Ottoman - era Friday mosque. Savoury and fantastic breakfast with lots of yogurt and scrambled eggs:)))

The rooms offered are good-sized and brand-new with a king size bed and balcony, for instance. The breakfast offers lots of yogurt and scrambled eggs.

Wonderful trendy boutique hotel, priceless views of the sea. Lots of food at the breakfast, including yogurt and scrambled eggs. Marvellous location next to many tourist attractions, old city sites and restaurant in a busy area.

I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and friendly staff at Arena. The hotel had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel at home. The location was perfect, with all the major attractions just a short walk away. The breakfast, although not outstanding, was still enjoyable. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the comfortable room provided a good night's sleep. Despite a few minor issues with plumbing and internet, overall my stay was great. I would definitely recommend Arena Hotel for its excellent service and affordability.

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.

Clean place with really kind staff and exceptionally good view on the Marmara Sea. Great and brilliant location, right at Mosaic Museum. Found in the very quiet area just off Istanbul, particularly the old part of the city around Sultanahmet as well as Sultanahmet tram station.

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.

The breakfast was savoury and delicious and offered scrambled eggs and yoghourt. The location was GOOD and stunning, just 5 minutes walk from a Grand bazaar. It was located close to a tram station, easy for getting around Istanbul.
Well, the views were bad here.
