    On the positive side, the hotel's location was superb, being very close to the tram station and just a stone's throw away from the bustling city center. It was also conveniently situated near popular attractions such as Sultanahmet Square and Hagia Sophia.

    The room was very small and cramped, making it difficult to move around and open our luggage properly.

Whether you're a history enthusiast or just looking to explore the small streets of the old town, this hotel puts you right in the middle of it all. And the best part? The stunning view of the Hagia Sophia from some of the rooms adds an extra touch of charm and beauty to your stay.

    The staff at the hotel were very welcoming and friendly. They went out of their way to assist us during our stay, especially Aiyhan who was extremely helpful. The location of the hotel was excellent, with easy access to all the major attractions in historic Istanbul. It was within a short walking distance to popular sights like the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, Cistern, and Topkapi Palace. The hotel room was very clean and suitable for a family of three. We had a comfortable stay and enjoyed the views from the rooftop terrace.

    There was a negative experience during breakfast. One of the staff members serving breakfast was constantly coughing and smoking, which was unpleasant.

The hotel's terrace offered stunning views and was a great spot to enjoy a meal. the Ares Hotel exceeded our expectations and we look forward to staying there again.

    Conveniently located in the heart of old Istanbul, just steps away from the iconic landmarks of the city like the blue mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi. The hotel also offers easy access to the metro. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the rooftop restaurant provided stunning views of the surrounding area. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing great tips for getting cheap tickets to activities.

    The hotel is conveniently located near the main tourist sights in the Sultanahmet District of Istanbul. You can easily walk to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and the Basilica Cistern entrance past outdoor restaurants. The staff is pleasant and provides good service, always greeting guests with a smile. The breakfast is average but delicious, with fresh and plentiful options. Additionally, the hotel offers a fantastic roof terrace for enjoying coffee, tea, beer, lunch.

    The rooms can be a bit tight, especially if you book a single room.

    The service at this hotel was absolutely brilliant! The staff was helpful and friendly, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. The location was also fantastic, with key attractions and restaurants within walking distance. Additionally, the rooms were clean and comfortable, providing a cozy and relaxing environment.

    There were a few aspects that I disliked about my stay. the rooms were quite small, and the bedsheets were not adequate, leading to some discomfort during the night.

    I had a fantastic stay at a friendly, family-run hotel in the heart of old Istanbul. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from all the major sights like Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar. Despite being so close to everything, the hotel was surprisingly quiet. The staff really went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and were incredibly helpful throughout my stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hotel in Istanbul.
