Top Istanbul University Hotel Reviews

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Arcadia Blue was located centrally to the historic Golden Horn area where the main historic sites and buildings are located. The hotel was very comfortable and clean. Fantastic view of the Blue Mosque and Haiga Sophia out our window. Breakfast was very good; however, the bar and dinner were on the expensive side. Staff was excellent for helping with guide, transportation, and health issues. They were all friendly and fluent in English. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there when I return."

Sultanhan Hotel - Special Class

Recital Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful and friendly staff, great location, and breakfast included! Stayed here for 4 evenings and we enjoyed our time. Friendly and flexible front desk that coordinated our hotel transfer, so one less thing to worry about when visiting an unfamiliar place for the first time. Cleaning staff was cheerful and helpful. Breakfast was included and you get a European style breakfast with a slight Turkish twist. Good way to start off the day! Location was very walkable to the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and other sights. Lots of dining options within 1 to 5 min walk. Felt safe walking around, even at night in the area. I would definitely consider staying here again!"

Emerald Mansion Hotel – Special Class

10/10 Excellent

"This was a wonderful hotel to stay at for my first visit to Istanbul. It is in the heart of everything. There are like a million restaurants around you, many shopping sites and the tram is right up the street. The room was VERY clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Mel the main receptionist that I saw was wonderful. The room did feel hot the first night and I tried to change the thermostat but the guests are not able to change it on their own. You just let the receptionist know. They changed it for me to make the room cooler. If this is your first time visiting Istanbul this is a great place to stay as it's within walking distance of most of the tourist attractions and there are tons of restaurants and shopping all around you. I felt welcomed by the staff and would stay here again."
