Carrying your luggage to the top floor might be tough, but I was prepared for that. The street might get loud, but it didnt disturb us. We were surprised with the absence of TV on the wall though — not an essential item, but still, why was it taken away as if someone stole it (not us, lol). Not much to complain about, but with $90 per night it seems a tad pricey

We had a «Double Room with Balcony» for a 2-night stopover and didn't regret it. Top location, nice balcony with a view, comfortable bed and clean room. Breakfast advice: check out the Well Breakfast & Coffee two hundred meters down the street.

Important and big point: no elevator in the building, small stairs to bring up or down your heavy luggage (stayed at 4th floor). Room has everything you may need but is really small, especially when you'd have been two people. Didn't had enough space to open my bag on the floor. Bathroom also very small and one door used for closing the bathroom and same time the shower.

Friendly and helpful stuff, easy and fast communication. Was able to check in late in the evening, appreciate that. Location is great and price is fair

The room was felt smaller compared to the pictures on the website, the place is very noisy even when the windows are closed, and the mattress was very old and not comfortable. I was looking for a place to basically just shower and sleep, so this was okay for me. But if you need some more space, or want a good rest during your vacation I would't recommend this hotel or area.

The staff was very nice, and communication was good through whatsapp. Location is very nice if you want to stay in a place with nightlife and shops / cafes very close by.

Small hotel, excellent location and the room was amazing- spotless clean, spacious, cozy and we could even enjoy the view of Galata tower from our window.

Stayed in July 2024

The AC was a bit too cold A bit noisy by night, with loud cars passing or people shouting but manageable.

The location was great, only 4 minutes walking from Taksim area, it was safe to walk around and get back a bit late with no issue. The host "Artil" was nice and super helpful also checking on me. The room was cozy and well-equipped, the wifi was fast, and the TV had some English movies and TV shows. The bed was comfortable and the room overall super clean.

The room was much smaller than anticipated. Small to the point it where it was tough to have suitcases.

The location was great, they were responsive & helpful.

Stayed in July 2024

Not as complain but all windows are at the street side, so it’s noisy during the late night. But we were so tired that slept very well. Size of the room can be a little bit tiny for two adults. For short staying it might be ok.

Location is brilliant, clean, very good shower, price is the best for 1 night. We stayed one night and for such short staying this place is good and nice. Friendly staff at the hotel.

Noise from outside during the night which could be disruptive for light sleepers and no breakfast unfortunately.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room was nice and the bathroom was clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The location was perfect, with Taksim Square and the Galata Tower within easy reach. Additionally, the proximity to metro and tram stops made it convenient to explore the city. There's also an airport shuttle bus stop nearby (to both airports), which was a bonus.

good location, clean and very kindly staff

The nearby streets are noisy but that’s expected given the location. The earplugs provided by the hotel were very helpful ;) Overall, I’m very satisfied with the stay and customer service. I’ve had a very safe and pleasant stay at Arart Hotel and the price is reasonable.

1. Location - 2 mins to Taksim and İstiklal streets. Many stores, restaurants, cafes nearby. Everything you need is within arm’s reach. 2. The hotel itself is very neat and well-kept, rooms are small yet tidy and with new furniture and finishing. My room was cleaned/refreshed every day. 3. Beret (staff) was very helpful and responsive to all my queries. He helped me organize a transfer and guided me on the whereabouts of some things like breakfast, laundry, etc. Many thanks for the great customer service.

No lift and noise level from the street

It is not about the property itself but more about the street. The street is a little bit noisy and if you are looking for something quiet (specially at night) this place not for you.

Good location, nice,comfortable and clean room. Staff is very friendly.

No lift

The room was very comfortable with a lovely balcony & view. The lady upstairs who provides breakfast & cleans the rooms is delightful. She also has a cat with a cute kitten at the moment.

Internet could have been better. It was a power breakdown one of the evenings, and it was remediated next morning (with no internet, no AC working overnight). Expensive parking (which is the rule in Istanbul, it seems...)

Nice little hotel in Istanbul, close to Taksim area. Minimal staff interaction (checkin only), but kind and eager to help. Everything is small (stairs, room, breakfast area), but clean and well maintained. Nicely decorated rooms with air condtioning and good bathroms. Breakfast is very simple, but welcome. Neighbourhood was decent, but expect the regular urban turkish nightlife (everything from luxurious restaurants to small tavernas or dirty and dark street corners). I got a parking place next to the hotel, reserved by the staff on my request.

Stayed in August 2023

Room is noisy because it is right next to the main square. Four flights of stairs to climb, so not good for someone with limited mobility (but staff were very helpful carrying luggage).

Great location, very friendly, helpful and flexible staff. Room is not large but space is used very effectively. Bathroom is clean and good shower.

Stayed in September 2023

The only concern is no elevator. The room is at 4th floor which is a little tired.

The room is clean and bed is comfortable in general. The location is good close to the Main Street. The staff is also friendly.

Size of the room was small. Compare to the price we paid, we could have got better deal.

Location, and room was ok.

Stayed in July 2023

Noisy, especially at night when trying to sleep, but this will be same throughout the area, especially in the Sumner. Room is okay for one person but it would be cramped for 2. The frosted screen for the shower and toilet doesn't give much privacy!

Location is very good and room has all the facilities needed, ie, fridge, kettle and cups, very good shower, hairdryer and friendly staff.

Stayed in June 2023

Breakfast was plain, could have had better coffee option. But sufficient.

Location of hotel, close to Taksim, view with balcony. Well appointed comfortable room. Value for money.

Stayed in June 2023

Breakfast if very mediocre: cereals, pancakes, omlete, slices of different stuff for sandwiches. However it is enough to start of a day.

Location is great eventhough you will have to climbe up the hill pretty much everyday. We were lucky we had a room with a view on Galata tower, very romantic. Rooms seem to be smaller than on the pictures, but more then enought if you are just going to sleep there. Room is quite clean, and a cleaning lady came everyday.

Stayed in May 2023

with central location in buzzing city comes a little noise at night. it wasn’t very bad, but bring oropax if you’re a light sleeper.

Perfect location in best neighbourhood with staff beyond helpful to organise taxis and recommendations. Great choice for a weekend visit, with comfy big bed and clean bathrooms.

Stayed in May 2023

Some of furnishings were worn out, but it was not a big deal.

Great location. Walking distance to airport shuttle stop, and the walk is not steep. Very convenient for a short stay. Close to cafes, and there are people around in the evenings, so the area feels safe at night. It was clean.
