Amazing service and location. Highly recommended.
Amazing location and service. We had a great time staying at Arden City hotel. It’s a short walk from major Istanbul historical sites. Rooms are clean and staff is very professional, courteous and helpful. They can arrange travel to and from local airports. They have an amazing rooftop restaurant with a great view serving food and drinks all day including a full buffet breakfast. Highly recommended.

Me and my husband stayed here for our first trip to Istanbul, it was a good hotel but quite old- not what we were use to. However the staff were friendly and hospitable. We would recommend as the location was ideal.
