Location:A+. Everything else: get what you pay for

The location can't be better. Close to the main historic sites and metro station. The blue mosque is across the street. And Haiga sophia, Topkapi are at walking distance. The hotel is small and so is the room. You basically get what you pay for. Being alone, the size of the room didn't bother me.

Great Location, Nice People OK rooms.

It is located within walking distance of main attractions of Istanbul with easy transport access to other parts of the city. Hotel staff is friendly and cooperative. Although the breakfast was not included, manager offered me a complimentary one. Rooms are small and OK. But you will spend only few hours there just to sleep so its fine.Overall a very good experience.

Breakfast and the Blue Mosque

My husband and our two sons spent six days discovering Istanbul in mid August and stayed at the Arasta Hotel. Given its amazing location within minutes on foot from the Blue Mosque which constitutes the breathtaking view from the breakfast terrace on the fourth floor and Haghia Sophia and the Topkapi PAlace, the Arasta is very good value. More bed and breakfast than hotel, we found the staff kind, smiling and helpful. Ayhun on reception even took our boys off to the right cafe to watch some football match one evening and brought them back safely. The rooms are small but fine if you just want to sleep. Perfect for the tourist who wants to get out and see Istanbul .

Great location, ok hotel

Hotel is steps away from the Blue Mosque which was very convenient for us since we were in town to sightsee. Hotel is ok, just the basics. Staff was pushy trying to sell us tours pretty much we went past the front desk. Given that the facilities are on the older side and the staff was a bit intrusive, all in all just an okay stay.

Location Only Good Thing About This Hotel

The location of this hotel is perfect. The rest of it was not - the photos are very misleading. Our room was literally falling apart (paneling coming off the walls, water stains on the walls and tile ceilings) and the sheets had holes and stains, which were not changed until our last day. We assumed there used to be a light in the shower, where there was a hole in the ceiling stuffed with tissue. Only one of the outlets worked, the wi-fi only worked when you were down in the lobby or on the terrace and we could count every spring in the mattress. If all you're looking for is a cheap room in a good location and don't care about anything else, the hotel will be fine. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable room, I would look elsewhere.

Friendly hotel with excellent location

Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean with daily cleaning service and fresh towels. We had a perfect view to the Blue Mosque from our bed. Breakfast was offered on the top floor with a nice terrace and the food was abundant. All in all, Arasta Boutique Hotel represents an excellent opportunity for those who want to stay in the heart of the Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque area, but don't want to spend too much on accommodation. Certainly, don't expect anything luxurious, but a very friendly and tidy hotel. If I have the chance to visit Istanbul again, I won't hesitate to stay again at Arasta Hotel.

Great location but unclean and not worth the money

The location was brilliant and the staff were friendly but that is as far as it goes. The room was dirty and smelt damp. We were in the bottom floor room and we could hear every conversation going on in the reception and when they went to the toilet which was a cupboard next to our room. The shower leaked all over the bathroom and after the first day they stopped bothering to clean our bathroom not even bothering to give us toilet paper or empty the bin. The location is brilliant but it's not enough to pay the price we did for such an unclean and noisy room. Disappointing.

close to everything

The name of the hotel is deceptive, 'boutique' leads one to believe that it is something really special. It is a budget hotel, perfectly acceptable and acceptably clean. It is a bit ramshackle but there is a great view of the Blue Mosque from the front of the hotel and a sea view from the back. The big plus is that it is withing walking distance of all of the major sights and close to the tram for the more distant ones. I would stay here again.

Good hotel for short stay to see the sights

Very good location for all the main sights. Our room was extremely small and various small items - eg light bulbs etc needed fixing - apparently all the rooms are having a makeover soon so all this might improve. Overall, it was reasonably comfortable but could have been btter.
