Superb

Very close proximity to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Staff Mohammed was very helpful, and we appreciate the upgrade to the Blue Mosque view room very much. We also appreciate the arrangement for private transfer to the airport for a reasonable price during our return after we have been scammed by the airport VIP taxi during our arrival. Also staff Nayla was very sweet to our daughter during breakfast.

Very good

The people working at the hotel, the location and the views.

Location was excellent, from my window I could see the Blue mosque. I could walk to the mosques and sultanamed's area. Restaurant at the top was very good with excellent views and service. The manager Mohamed, he was very helpful since the firs time. We did lost a cell phone in our cab, he did everything to get our cellphone back. In the following days of our stay he gave us a lots of useful tips to get around Istanbul. We didn't like the hotel, we only stay there because Mohamed and the lady working at breakfast make us feel at home.

The rooms were very tiny, and they have humidity problems, also bathrooms have some mold on them. Seems to be and old building and the owner doesn't want to spent too much on it. It's sad because I think this hotel even is small and old, it has a lot of potential, it is very well located and it has some amazing views. And in top of that they have a very good manager that seems to like and love what he does.

Love my stay in Ararat hotel

It is my 6th visit to Istanbul but I consider my stay in Ararat hotel is the best one and will be my Istanbul hotel destination going forward. Location was perfect and SultanAhmet is my favorite Area, the hotel is extremely close to the Blue mosque and the T1 tram as well I have a very close view for the mosque from my room window. Breakfast is delicious and enough to start the day, it was a plat prepared by the lady in the hotel with very nice selection and combination in addition to fresh omlet & French fries daily & of course turkish ay, with the blue mosque view. Room was very clean and spacious, with free upgrade. There is a roof terrace with very nice restaurant and view for both bosphorus and Blue mosque, and 10% discount for the hotel residents. We really enjoyed and loved our stay sooo much. Special thanks to Mohamed for his help and support especially in our airport transfer, free upgrade for the room and the early check in as well.

Wonderful stay , will definitely be coming back again

Property was in a perfect location , everything was walking distance , rooms were a little small than expected but that wasnt a big deal . Mohammed made us very comfortable , helpful & responded to any msgs I had sent him within minutes . Dilnaz is a very sweet lady even when she had problems communicating she served breakfast exceptionally every morning . She cleaned our room leaving clean towels everyday . Brilliant stay we had . Lovely view of the blue mosque right outside our bedroom window , busy road infront of the hotel which actually didnt bother any of us at all , we found it very lively & entertaining .

The only downfall is the stairs carpets , they could do with a change but otherwise nothing negative to say

Very good localization, very friendly staff- nice and helpfull people, good English knowledge and comunication. Nice terrace and restaurant on the last floor, with a nice view, and wine, / it is not a common thing/. Good point for exploring Old Town in Stambu, walking dostanie to many acractive areas. It is necessairy to take in account a trafic jam in this area, while ones needs a taxi /it is not a disadvantage, but worth to remmember/. Many restaurants, bazzars and shops in a neighbeehood. I onestly reccomend this place.

Bathrooms need renovation.

Kameralny hotel z dobrymi niadaniami

Cozy hotel in the center of Sulthanahmet overlooking the Blue Mosque. Great location for visiting the sights of Istanbul. Rooms clean, cleaned daily. Peaceful and safe neighborhood. Good breakfast (but served on a plate) always fresh fruit, unlimited drinks. Nice and helpful staff. Very good contact with the hotel manager.

Family rooms for 4 people are small, the second part has no window unfortunately and additionally needs refreshing. Booking 2 double rooms is a better option.
