Location of hotel is excellent - near major attractions - five minutes walk to Blue Mosque, Haga Sofia and Topkapi Palace and two minutes walk to the tram station. Best part is the staff at hotel was very caring. The owner himself gave personal attention. James one of the staff member has been extremely caring.

Size of the room - just enough for two persons. And the fact that at arrival and exit the taxi or car can't reach the hotel door due to small street size.

The hotel location was superb as it is very close (3-4 mins) to the main attractions in Istanbul. There were so many eating places around the hotel. The hotel also has its own terrace restaurant with a fantastic view of the main attraction, such as Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. The staff is also very helpful and informative. Ali particularly, he helped us to carry our big luggage from the roadside to the hotel. We are very thankful for his kindness. The owner (Ayoub) himself was very helpful with his advice and tips about visiting Istanbul. We thank you for his hospitality. The hotel facilities were also good and enough for travellers like us. Good breakfast was also served. Overall, we were satisfied with our stay at Ares Hotel, Istanbul.

Walking to the hotel from the roadside (300-400m) since the taxi was not able to go closer to the hotel. The road towards the hotel is closed to all taxi and personal transport.

Extremely good location in the heart of Istanbul, which helps to enjoy your time and save your money - all places of interest are very close by, in walking distance or can reached by the tram quickly. The hotel is lovely, the views from the windows are marvellous and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Very good kitchen and delicious Turkish tea. Definitely worth a trip, I'll be coming back.

Ideal location: 5 minutes to Hagia Sofia, to Blue Mosque, and to Topkapi Palace, 2 minutes to Basilica Cistern, to tram stop, to shopping street, 1 minute to restaurants. Great hospitality: in the evenings we were always welcomed with free hot tea by very kind gentlemen at the reception. Fine terrace at the top with great view.

Rooms were rather small and modest, need some renovation - however altogether good value for money.

Location! You can’t imagine you live where 3 mins walk away from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, basically you live in the heart of Ottman’s Royal neighborhood, easy to explore all the fantasies on foot. Staff are extremely helpful, they made me various tea to help me get better soon when I felt sick.

I stayed 7 nights, wish the breakfast could make slight changes at least every other day…

Absolutely amazing location! was happy that our two rooms were adjacent. Beds and bedding was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and kind, especially Joseph who always gave a treat to my 5yr old every time he saw him.

The only thing to improve on would be to have water bottles in rooms on arrival, especially as we arrived late at night and needed it. The staff did say they had run out and helped by giving us some water in glasses.

The location could not have been better. The hotel is situated neatly between the Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, situating you near everything in Sultankhamet. For the money - nothing could have beat Ares Hotel. The breakfast was a simple yet delicious plate of meats, cheeses and bread served alongside your choice of coffee or tea.

The facilities in the room could have been a little bit better. The shower head in my room had been broken off of its handle before we checked in which made showering less enjoyable. Because of the excellent location, you will be woken up by the early morning calls to prayer.

Rooms were clean as we could stay in two different ones. The staff is kind, helpful and gave us plenty of tips to avoid jumping into tourist traps ! The hotel is close to everything we used public transportations only once rather because we were tired of walking. Shout out to Yusuf the best receptionist ever 🤲🫶

Most would complain, but we were not really bothered by the noise as the hotel is known to be close to crowded areas.

Location is not easy accessed by cars but excellent for pedestrians. All major attractions are in the walking distance so no need to worry about the transport. Good food in restaurant with the terrace with the amazing view on Aya Sophia.

Location is not easiest access by the car. So if you travel light should not be a problem.
