Ararat Hotel

Disappointing
Traveller Type: family with young children
  : location and staff only. Picture taken from the restaurant.
  : - No lift, very narrow and low- ceiling stairs, hit my head couple of time.- Old facility with poor maintenance, many furniture pieces were not functioning well (wardrobe’s doors, drawer in bathroom).-Bad smell (sewage) was coming out of bathroom, I had to buy an air freshener and kept the noisy ventilator on all time to overcome this issue.- The mini bar is so small, could not put a 1.5 L water bottle in it.* Works ONLY for young ppl who needs a roof to sleep under after spending the whole day out. Even though it’s better and cheaper to stay outside of this area (like in taksim, Galata) and use the Tramway (T1) to reach sultan Ahmet area instead of staying there, as all buildings are old and most of them probably share the same cons. Otherwise stay in a 5 star hotel (very expensive in Eminino)

  : Breakfast was very good. The location is perfect. In front of the hotel there is a parking lot for 8-9 euros for 24 hours. The staff is very friendly. The manager of the Hotel, Mohammad , is wonderful.
  : Small room, but it is normal for a building located at 100 m from the Blue Mosque.

  : The hotel is well located it is in the middle of Sultan Ahmet next to the blue mosque and hagia sophia and many other tourist attractions. The staff are nice especially Mohammad the hotel manager who was really helpful and nice and also Miko who works at the restaurant who was really welcoming and sweet. We decided to go with this hotel the night before our arrival to Istanbul and we did not regret our choice

  : Perfect place to stay for couple of days in Istanbul. It is very close to Sultan Ahmed Mosque and Aya Sofiya Mosque almost in a heart of Istanbul. Hotel has an atmospheric terrace on the roof of it with outstanding view of Bosporus, Sultan Ahmed and Aya Sofiya minarets. They are serving good food and drinks and Shisha here. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. Many thanks especially to Mzia for her care of me. Bed is really comfortable, hotel has no problems with water pressure on higher floors and good WiFi internet, what you can find rare in Istanbul. I have got new place in Istanbul, where I will be looking forward to come back.
