Great location close to lots of the main tourist sites like the Blue Mosque, Basilica cistern, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar and spice market. Lots of good restaurant and cafes very close. Five minutes walk to the Bosphorus. The owners are friendly and helpful. We left our bags when we went to Cappadocia for 1 night.

Arges hotel is located in the center of Sirkeci, very close to all attractions and central places. The service was great; the hotel owners were helpful and kind. Rooms are spacious and clean (renovated hotel). I used to spend my holidays in Arges, and will keep doing that is these standards.

Umut 10.0

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this charming family-run hotel in Istanbul, and I can confidently say it was one of the best hospitality experiences I have ever had! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with the warmest welcome, making me feel like part of the family rather than just a guest. The location is simply unbeatable – nestled in the heart of the city, just a short stroll from Istanbul’s most iconic museums and historic landmarks. Whether you want to explore the grandeur of Hagia Sophia, the intricate beauty of the Topkapi Palace, or the fascinating collections of the Istanbul Archaeology Museum, everything is within easy reach. The hotel itself is a perfect blend of comfort, charm, and authentic Turkish hospitality. The rooms are beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Waking up to the sound of seagulls and the distant call to prayer while enjoying a delicious homemade breakfast on the terrace was an unforgettable experience. What sets this hotel apart, though, is the family behind it. Their kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care for their guests made my stay incredibly special. They went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, offering excellent recommendations, arranging transportation, and always greeting me with a warm smile. If you’re looking for a cozy, welcoming, and perfectly located place to stay in Istanbul, look no further. This hotel is a true hidden gem, and I can’t wait to return! Highly recommended for anyone who values comfort, authenticity, and exceptional hospitality.

Seifeddine 9.0

The hotel is great with a spacious room and the location is very ideal as it is close to all the surrounding tourist sites and therefore not worth using transportation, and also the hostel owners and staff are very friendly and helpful.

Florence 10.0

Owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Excellent location. Very clean.

Noorul 10.0

Naif and his family are extremely helpful and they take care of their guests. There was the issue with the water heating, they got it fixed immediately. They helped arrange low cost travel to Bursa and were excellent guides. The hotel location is ideal, walking distance to Eminounu, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. There are many eating options and restaurants and Spice Bazaar nearby. We were spoilt by eating choices and shopping options. We never needed to take a taxi. Get an Istanbul card and travel by tram to any destination. Overall, a great experience.

Tanweer 10.0

We booked a 4 bed room, it was spacious enough for us and very clean. The host was very friendly and always available and also helped us find a cheap transfer to the airport.

Mohammed 8.0

Great family run hotel in heart of city and within walking distance to old town sites and great restaurants. Naif and his wife are extremely welcoming.

Eugene 10.0

We were greeted immediately and were helped with luggage to the room. Stairs are very narrow and the lift is small, you need to make several trips. The room is quite big with comfy beds! Seems there is AC for summer time. The staff went out of their way to help in any way and give good recommendations. Easy entrance 24/7 with code. Many restaurants and attractions are within walking distance including a metro station. Would recommend!
