Arven Hotel Reviews

Very good location right in centre near Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque

The stuffs were very nice and helpful. We arrived 4 hours earlier than the check-in time.Still they allocated us a room.

Did not stay. Was not welcomed and had a scare as we entered the building was not as described. Women came in crying from the police as her passport, money and items were stolen. The place was robes due to lack of security that the worker would not admit or reassure us of our security. When asked about a refund as the room was downstairs and not in a secure location we were refused. Other guest started becoming hostile trying to defend the worker, which made the whole worse. Did not feel like a safe situation knowing other guest had been robbed hours before we arrived. The lack of responsibility and safety has left a bad experience.

It’s very good!

The hotel service is very good, the facilities are complete, the room is clean, and there is a large balcony, suitable for travel

The room and bed were very clean! The distance to tourist spots was reasonably close, and it was quiet at night. There are also convenience stores and delicious restaurants nearby. It was a very good hotel.

The room is relatively small but relatively clean. It’s very close to the temple and it’s a short walk away. But don’t eat too expensive around. It’s better to go to the busy area farther away for a reasonable price.

Small hotels in some ages are ten minutes’ walk from the Blue Mosque, Cistern, Sophia Cathedral, Sultan’s Palace, ferry, seaside, etc. European neighborhoods, surrounded by bazaar restaurants, trams, etc. In short, it is a very lively place . It's a little quiet. We have a double room with a balcony. The room is clean, with air conditioner and refrigerator. The bathroom is also ok. In short, the price is relatively high. Good service, help with luggage, recommended to stay. But it is not recommended to eat nearby, it is a bit expensive.

On the first day, I was given a room in the ba*****t. It was very small, but it was clean and not soundproof. The next day, I changed the room upstairs. It was clean, but it was really not soundproof and noisy.

Excellent hotel! Very good location, polite and helpful staff, clean and comfortable.

Excellent location of the hotel, although it is essentially an apartment. An old building right in the middle of the old town. Walking distance to main attractions. There is no elevator, there is a narrow spiral staircase upstairs, they help to lift suitcases to the floor without any problems. There was a room on the 3rd floor, 28 sq.m. The room was a bit worn, but neat and clean enough. The bathroom is warm, there is a coil with hot water, a cat. can be covered. The room has a safe and refrigerator. We arrived an hour early and were seated without any problems. At check-out, they were also allowed to leave the room an hour later, the suitcases were left for storage (because there was a late departure). If you need breakfast, then it is offered in a nearby small hotel of the same type, it costs 7.5 euros per person. When booking it will cost 4 euros. In principle, everything is in order for breakfast at this price - scrambled eggs, a couple of types of cheeses, salad, muesli, juices from packages, pide, some fruit, a couple of desserts, cucumber-tomatoes, tea and instant coffee (natural for additional payment) There is even terrace overlooking the sea and the Blue Mosque. If you just have a cheap and tight bite to eat before hiking in Istanbul, then for this price it is a great option. In general, the summary of the hotel: a good option for a few nights accommodation as a base for an overnight stay and sightseeing (if you are not very demanding on comfort and like to feel the spirit of the old city).

A boutique hotel in a very central location. The entrance door is always closed and there is an attendant 24 hours a day. They are very kind and helpful. Since our flight was delayed, we checked into the hotel around 01:30 or later, but it was not a problem. We stayed 3 days in the economy room. The room was small, but it was enough for 2 people to sleep and rest from night to night. The room was clean. Soundproofing is not very good but our neighbors were quiet and did not disturb us. There was a mini fridge, kettle, tea, coffee treats, hot/cold air conditioner, shower, mini safe in the room. The TV wasn't working, but we didn't report it because we didn't need it, I think they would have fixed it if we did. The bed is a bit old but we've been comfortable. One of the pillows was weak, but there was an extra pillow in the closet, it was fuller, we used it. If you know that it is a boutique hotel and don't raise your expectations too much, I think it's okay. I can stay again if needed.
