Friendly staff, very helpful and accommodating. The location of the hotel is just perfect and so close to historic sites and shopping areas.

This property was one of the best locations I have ever stayed at. The staff and front desk are extremely kind and helpful. The property is located within walking distance of most the major sites and in stones throw of the Blue Mosque. There is a wonderful bazaar right out the front door, great restaurants that are open late all around, and a convenient store 20 feet from the entrance of the hotel. Great hotel, would definitely stay again.

1. Best location 2. Staff is amiable and helpful 3. Room and facility are just OK 4. Yeah, the best location again

Fatima always served us breakfast each day. She was always pleasamt and helpful. .Had a great view of the Blue Mosque from that dining room.

Perfect location

Great location. Loved the roof terrace

A great way to experience instanbul

The Hotel had a nice family touch to it and right in the middle of Sultanahmet. The hotel manager Mohammed was very helpful.

Have been here twice earlier, but wouldn’t come again. The hotel was taken care much better before, but seems after management Change the situation is not the same

excellent staff, view from terrasse resto and from windows on blue mosque.

Very honest and sincere.

Very cold Hotel. No phone. Communication through face to face only which is very inconvenient when you are sick also because of that cold. Which they created for us with not having strong heating system. Very cultural.

The hotel is just opposite Blue Mosque you can actually see it from the window. Staying Opposite Sultan Ahmet square. Breakfast was excellent They change to different food every day. The staff Kerim at the reception was excellent, kind and very helpful.

This hotel was not nice to stay in the first night have us wrong room with no view of blue mosque a brick wall no wanted help us then the owner came after two days swapped us to a bigger room for three night we suffered in a small hot room with our baby no one wanted to help would not stay there again

Great location!!!

I stayed in this hotel a week with my family and we do not have any complain. Breakfast is very good with a lot of optios. Location is excellent, in the middle of everything and walking distance from all major landmarks. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Room booked was not available. So, in a five day stay, was shunted into three different rooms, obe of which was an internal room with its only window opening out into the diningroom

Great location, friendly staff and clean room. Some may thing the rooms are a little small but it has everything a world traveler needs. Highly recommend.

Location, location, location. Just a three minutes walk to the Blue Mosque. Staff is very accommodating. A great breakfast is served with a rotating selection of Meats, cheeses, pastries, eggs and specialty items.

Hotels location is very good. Rooms are comfortable. Only downside is that there is a flight of stairs to get to the rooms. Abit hard for old people. Besides that all was good

The rooms on the roof terrace are very dark and smell from the kitchen.

Very helpful stuff and very good location they changed my room to bigger than before without any additional charges thanks for them

Location! Location! Location!

This is a great hotel! Perfect location. Bazar literally across the street along with The mezcal ( not sure if the spelling) restaurant. Really good food and sheesha. Talk to Adam ask for his secret tea. Short walk to both mosques. Hotel and rooms were nice. Staff was great. No lift but they helped with our bags.

Amazing hotel with great service. I very much enjoyed my stay here. Will recommend anyone coming to Istanbul to stay at Ararat Hotel.

Very pleasant experience. Staff friendly and helped us throughout our stay. Spectacular views of the blue mosque from hotel room and terrace. Excellent buffet breakfast, had different baked goods everyday. Daily cleaning. Close to all main attractions. Would definitely come again.

3 days of hell

I book room throw expedia when arrive at hotel ,happend some mysterious story and basically i stay without room cos hotel was overbooked. Owner offer me to move in other place but i chose wht i chose and i paid full amount. After few min owner find room for me... after few min again he offer to move me to live with her cousin in guest house.. am ask refund of money.. after few min again he found room... after again he told me drunk guest sleepin in my room and he not goin out.. and all this story was look like hell of crap. It was rain..cold..i was hungry ..and tired. Finnaly he giv me room. Room was small.. really small even for me 57 kg girl..its small. Can't wash face in bathromm properly. Anyway next day i got my breakfast its was ok, but i like have warm and havy breakfast with omlet and sosages. In the way out owner make very offensive joke about me cos i take cheapest room in his hotel. Btw i live on The Palm Jumeirah Dubai. Was in Stambul fot transit. When i back i didn't find tv. I even not askin. Cos maybe owner take tv from my room cos i live in cheapest room and tv its kind of luxery for me. Next morning on breakfast owner told me why i broke tv. Wht really insulted me. Am not even usin it. He say i broke it on the floor. When i suggest maybe maids can did cos obviously she clean room and might by chance. He said -no- its ofcourse I am the one who did it..i can't wait to get out from this place cos its was tooo much for me , paid 70 $ for 3 days of hell

Good centrally located hotel

This is a well run hotel close to the main attractions. The room was small but adequate.

Stay away from this hotel

Slow wifi, meagre breakfast, heat not working in some rooms, hot water not working in some rooms, sewage smell in some rooms. Please choose another hotel in the area. There are lots of hotels in the same area, walking distance to all attractions for a little more or same cost.

Third grade hotel in first grade location

I had booked two rooms for 4 nights for my family vacation during the December break. We were given rooms on separate floors. The heating was not working in my children's room and the windows were drafty making the room very cold.The hot water was not working in my room. The owner is very nice and apologized but did nothing to correct the situation. He had a new server who was not trained in hospitality. She left with out making our rooms on one of the days. It was very unpleasant returning to a cold unmade room after a day out. The breakfast is bare minimum and every time one wants a cup of tea, one has to ask the server. There are so many better hotels in the area for about the same price.

Great location

Great location. No need for transport to go to most of the attractions. Staff are extremely friendly.

Loved it!

We were so pleasantly surprised when we arrived at this hotel. It has so much character and every detail is so nice and thought about. Our room was very comfortable and clean. The location is ideal for walking. We had the Bazar and all the major sight seeings a few min away. We recommend this Hotel and will look forward to staying here again!

Pleased.

Close to all attractions. It was wonderful, save and clean. Worth every penny.

small but big at heart

Had only one day in the hotel but it was really pleasant .All the amenities and all the sites that I wanted to visit were on the door step The staff were very helpful and even recommend me to a restaurant which was excellent

My experience was excellent overall. As a girl traveling alone I had to deal with some problems and the manager of the hotel helped me solve them all. I felt safe and very welcome. The hotel was at a perfect location and I could move by foot without using public transportation, the room was very clean and cozy. Totally would revisit this hotel.

Super hôtel et services d’exceptions.

unotdentlich nicht sauber alt zimlich runter gekommen

Ararat hôtel

Chambre trop petite pour le prix. Frigo ne fonctionne pas. Robinet brisé. L’endroit est très beau.

Ολα ηταν υπεροχα!!! Φανταστικη θεα στο πρωινο!!!

Tavsiye ederim temiz konum iyi

Отель находится рядом со многими достопримечательностями. Ресторан отеля находится на террасе с красивым видом, в котором в том числе подают вкусные и сытные завтраки. В номере чисто, убираются каждый день, все работает, кровати очень удобные, постельное белье хорошего качества. Персонал очень внимательный и вежливый, помогал решать любые проблемы. Нам все понравилось. Отдельная благодарность персоналу за помощь и доброжелательность.

Merkezi, manzaralı ve rahat👍

Konum olarak harika tam merkezde yer alıyor. Kahvaltı yapmak ya da akşam bir şeyler içmek için çok güzel bir teras katı var. Hem Ayasofya hemde Sultanahmet Cami manzaralı. Otelin en sevdiğim kısmı çay içerek manzarayı seyretmekti. Çalışanlar sıcak ve güler yüzlüler. Birkaç günlük konaklama için ideal. Tekrar tercih edebileceğim oteller listesine eklendi.😌

Плюс:очень удобное расположение отеля. Минус:ужасный запах постельного белья. Ощущение,что на нём уже кто-то спал.

Gercekten tertemizdi ve uygun bi hotel

Fiyat / performans

Sadece uyumaya girdik odaya, bu fiyata gayet iyi. Oda ve banyo malzemeleri yeni ve temizdi. 10 m2 ufak bir oda bizim gibi yatmadan yatmaya giricekseniz gayet iyi. Bi konfor beklemeyin ama tabii ki

Küçük hoş bir ortam. Merkezi ayasofya ve sultanahmet i izleyerek kahvaltı yapıyorsun

Hotell Ararat kan anbefales

Bra hotel med kjempemessig beliggenhet - midt i smørøyet i Gamlebyen. Hyggelig og hjelpsom betjening. Eneste minus var at det var varmt på rommet - Aircondition virket ikke..

Побыла я все же на Босфоре!

В Стамбуле была 4 ночи и 4 дня. Впечатления об отеле очень даже неплохие. Обслуживают женщины и молодые ребята в основном, за некоторым исключением, из Узбекистана. Очень радушные, вежливые, говорящие на нескольких языках, в том числе и на русском. Ежедневно убирают номер и меняют полотенца, дают одноразовые тапочки, Вкусно очень кормят. Завтраки с разнообразной едой (восточной и европейской). Сам отель расположен прямо напротив знаменитой мечети Султан Ахмет. Весь старый город Стамбула - в 3-х минутах ходьбы. В отеле можно заказать интересные экскурсии с русско говорящим гидом. Самая замечательная экскурсия - это морская прогулка по Босфору! Всем рекомендую! Не понравились два момента: 1. Отель без лифта с очень крутой узкой лестницей - пожилым тяжело подниматься. 2. Просыпаешься в 5-30 утра от громкого пения муэдзина, призывающего мусульман на утренний намаз. Но тут уж ничего не поделаешь - мы на Востоке! На всякий случай прихватите с собой беруши. В целом - все замечательно! Огромное спасибо всему обслуживающему персоналу! Стамбул - очень уютный и красивый город! Заранее позаботьтесь о трансфере, так как Ататюрк закрыт, новый огромнейший аэропорт расположен очень далеко, а обещанного метро там пока нет. С уважением, Людмила

Рекомендую , просто - рекомендую !

Каждый раз приезжая в Стамбул - останавливаюсь всегда в разных отелях , разных районах. Но этот , действительно удивил . Абсолютный исторический центр по расположению. Ни какой беготни с горы - в гору . Абсолютная чистота везде ! Абсолютно везде !!!! Такое ощущение , что в этом отеле больше тратят на обслуживание , чистоту , завтраки , принадлежности - больше чем зарабатывают . Очень чисто .

Room had NOT reserved and didn't refund/お金だけ取られました

［English follows Japanese1ヶ月以上前に予約していたにも関わらず、ホテル側のミスにより部屋が用意できていないと言われました。ホテルに返金を求めましたが、エクスペディアからでないと手続きできないと言われ、一切応じてもらえず。これは実は嘘で、帰国後エクスペディアに返金をお願いしましたが、ホテル側でカード決済をしているため、エクスペディアでは返金手続きができないと言われました。ホテルに再度返金を求めるも「あなたたちが部屋を気に入らず宿泊しなかったので返金はしない」と嘘をつかれました。何度も交渉しても一切返金に応じてもらえず、最終的にエクスペディアに宿泊代金を肩代わりして弁償してもらいましたが、勝手にカード決済され、挙句嘘をついて返金には応じないとんでもないホテルです。絶対に利用しない方がいいです。また、エクスペディアのシステムはこのようにカード情報を悪用され決済できてしまうのでご注意ください！ My husband and I booked rooms through Expedia over one month prior to our trip, only to find that the room we had paid for and reserved had NOT been booked at all! We asked the hotel to issue us a refund, but faced rejection by the hotel since we had reserved through Expedia. After arriving home from the trip, we promptly asked Expedia to issue us a refund. We once again faced rejection due to Expedia’s return policies stating that they could not refund payments already processed by the hotel. Despite this issue, Expedia sent multiple requests to the hotel to issue refunds, but refused to comply. To make matters even worse, the hotel had LIED to Expedia about the situation stating that a “refund is impossible, as the couple disliked the room and refused to stay.” In short, Expedia paid us back, instead of the hotel and the issue was resolved. However! We still highly disapprove of this hotel! Please do NOT stay here! As far as Expedia is concerned, please be wary of the fact that hotels can still process your payments, despite not staying at the reserved rooms!

Ararat hotel: geweldige locatie, service en schone

We hadden een prettige verblijf. De locatie was geweldig. Veel activiteiten waren op loopafstand te doen. Zoals het bezoeken van moskeen tot het lopen naar de bazaar. De kamers waren schoon. De medewerkers waren vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We hadden een kamer met een goed prachtig uitzicht. We keken naar de Sultan ahmed Moskee.

Magnifica vista sulla Moschea Blu

E' la terza volta presso l'Hotel Ararat di Istanbul. Le camere sono un po' piccole, ma a Istanbul si usano solo per dormire e per una doccia. Personale disponibilissimo, le stanze sono pulite, si può far colazione sulla terrazza coperta con una vista stupenda sulla Moschea Blu.

Proximité de la mosquée bleu

Je déconseille cette hôtel jais réservé une chambre et j’ai dormi dans un grenier

It was bad

Otele gittiğimizde rezervasyonumuz olduğu halde bize oda yok tadilatta dediler. Tadilatta ise neden rezerve ettiniz?? Sonra bizi küçücük odalı bi otele götürdüler 2 sokak arkada. Ertesi gün odaya gittiğimizde bizim rezervasyon yaptığımız odayı başkasına sattıklarını öğrendik. Görevli odaya geldi ve dünkü müşteri dolapta bişeyler unutmuş dedi. Yani bize odada tadilat var diye yalan söylediler. Odamız manzaralı ve genişti. Ki zaten manzaralı rezervasyon yapmıştık. Terasta çay içeceğimiz zaman saat 12 civarı görevli temizlik yapıyordu ve başka yere geçmemizi söyledi. Otele bir türlü yerleşmedik dediğimizde ise 5 dakika sonra yerleşirsiniz diye ukala bi şekilde cevap verdi. Biz odayı temizleyin demedik ama bize sormadan biz çıkınca odayı temizlemişler. Bu hiç hoş değildi. Kapıda make a clean gibi bir kart da yoktu. Genel olarak huzursuz olduğumuz bir konaklamaydı. Personel suratsızdı. Bir çay bir fuice tea içtik onun parasını almadılar başka otelde kaldığımız için. Ama tabiki bu memnun etmedi. Rezerve ettiğimiz odanın başkasına satılması otelin ne kadar kurumsallıktan uzak olduğunu gösterdi.

Frente Mezquita

Mi habitación era amplia y confortable, colchon grande y muy comodo y cogines ,baño con ducha ,aunque salia agua por un rincon de ella.hay habitaciones con baño diminuto que no caben 2 personas juntas....y debes cerrar una puerta para abrir la del baño,esas habitaciones deberian ser de uso individual solamente,pues para dos es realmente incómoda. Desayuno escaso,poca fruta y fiambres ,nada caliente,tipo huevos revultos o salchichas...si sus dulces turcos y algo como torlilla super doblada con peregil creo.muchas mermeladas y un dia tortitas....los demas dias pan cortado en rodajas seco...no hay tostador....las vistas desde terraza ,insuperables con las trasera de Mezquita.....limpieza y trato bueno...no hablan casi nadie español....no cobran tasas municipales...y el tranfer no es caro.En general ,lo mejor su localización,andando cerca llegas al gran vazar,y por los alrededores también hay muchas buenas tiendas....y muchos restaurantes interesantes.MUY RECOMENDABLE.
