Breakfast with a Breathtaking View
Pros:

The location was fantastic, very central. Is safe. The staff were friendly and hospitable ( always willing to go out of the way to make my stay comfortable). I booked for 2 single beds but they gave me a queen size bed,when I approached the staff in the evening, they politely assured me that they will rectify the problem the next day. When I came back from breakfast, it was done as promised ( very efficient). I needed ice to nurse an injured leg, though it was late, the staff delivered a bag of ice to my room. Breakfast was delicious, service good and the rooftop view overlooking the Blue Mosque was breathtaking. Cannot ask for more.

Cons:

Facilities were slightly old but they are in the midst of renovation.

Wonderful spot. Loved the view from the restaurant
Pros:

Loved the location and staff were wonderful

Cons:

Was not a fan of the small bathroom or shower set up. Shower could’ve been cleaner.
I was sad that the basement was under construction as I’d hoped to have a Turkish bath

Uma experiência encantadora, com uma das melhores localizações de Istambul e uma vista inesquecivel!
Pros:

Foi uma experiência muito especial ficar no Hotel Arcadia Blue. A localização é maravilhosa, em uma das regiões mais bonitas de Istambul, e poder caminhar até os principais pontos turísticos foi um grande diferencial.

O que mais marcou foi a vista incrível do hotel, principalmente durante o café da manhã, com aquele cenário único da cidade — uma lembrança que vou levar da viagem. A equipe foi muito gentil e atenciosa, sempre pronta para ajudar e tornar a estadia ainda melhor.

O hotel tem um charme especial e combina muito com quem quer sentir a essência de Istambul. Foi uma excelente escolha e eu voltaria com certeza.

Una experiencia enriquecedora
Pros:

Para ser la primera vez que viajamos a Estambul, quedamos muy encantados, tanto con el Hotel, como el personal y la ubicación. El personal muy amable, atentos a lo que necesitáramos, la habitación una maravilla, con vistas a La Mezquita Azul y Hagia Sophia.

Cons:

Lo que no nos gustó es que la entrada al Hagia Sophia fuera de 50€ por persona por ser turistas, y la entrada para turistas de Turquía fuese por 5€ nada más. Un robo y a más a más discriminatorio, decidimos no pagar eso para entrar la verdad.

Would stay again when come back
Pros:

The biggest asset of this hotel is its location and its staff. This hotel is at very walkable distance to major attractions. Max 10 minutes to Hagia Sofia, Topkapi palace, Blue mosque and 3-4 minutes to Tram station. I stayed in Family connecting room

All the staff specially Yasin, Akram, and Emir( Amir) were very friendly and helpful. Including cleaning staff.

Cons:

Breakfast menu is pretty limited and English. Should be more traditional.

c’est toujours un plaisir de revenir passer son séjour dans cet hôtel .
Pros:

L’hôtel est très bien situé. Le personnel est très gentil et a l’écoute.
Un merci Particulier à Emir et Furkan qui sont toujours prêts à rendre service.
Merci à eux

Cons:

Un petit bémol pour le petit déjeuner qui n’a rien de turc comparé au petit déjeuner de 2022.
Le choix de la carte est beaucoup plus restreint et c’est dommage. On s’attend à retrouver des saveurs locales mais il n’en est rien .

Overall a great stay and we will most likely return here.
Pros:

Location was perfect.
Staff was all so polite and helpful. Really nice to speak to.
Maybe some things like bathroom and furniture can be a bit more modern but it wasn’t really a problem. We showered and slept fine.
