Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

Great location, new hotel, staff very polite and friendly.

Service was good, location was perfect the only thing I would complain is the smell from the bathroom was bad, maybe they need to change plumbing or something

My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at the Arcadia Blue Hotel in Istanbul! Just a five minute walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, a ten minute walk to the Grand Bazaar and just a two minute walk to fabulous shops, restaurants and tram station. We stayed in a corner suite (601) which had an amazing view of the blue mosque and the ocean. To be honest, all of the sea view rooms have amazing views! The rooms are a decent size and the bed was extremely comfortable. Room and turndown service was exceptional. The breakfast which is included is absolutely fabulous and the views from the 9th floor restaurant and bar are incredible! They also have an outside patio seating area. The staff were amazing and so incredibly helpful (especially Cenal and a young bellhop who’s name I do not recall) They are happy to reserve tours and transfers to and from the airport which we recommend. A one way airport transfer in a spacious Mercedes minivan cost €50. This is one of those five star hotels where the answer is yes to every question. We highly recommend the Artemis Blue Hotel and would definitely stay there again! Steve & Corinne.

I booked Hotel Arcadia Blue based on the photos of the hotel. I booked a seaview room and it was well worth it. We were put on the highest room floor (8th, restaurant is on 9th) and had an amazing view of Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. The staff are incredibly friendly and on my birthday brought me cupcakes during breakfast and played a Happy Birthday song over the intercom. Such a nice surprise. I highly recommend this hotel, especially if it is your first visit to Istanbul!

1. Location - Very close to local attractions...easy walking distance. Surrounded by shopping experiences, restaurants and confectionery stores. 2. Service - Very good service especially from Can and Emre. We were upgraded to a beautiful room overlooking the sea and from then on, whatever we wanted was for the asking. The service and 'smile quotient' at the restaurant was not so great. We were made to hurry in ordering dinner rather rudely. 3. Maintenance- Overall very good except for 1 plumbing issue. It would have been great to have it resolved that day . Unfortunately, there are no maintenance people in the eve/ night. 4. Food - They have a beautiful restaurant on the top floor affording a panoramic view of the city. The food choices are limited ( lunch and dinner ) bu taste good. The breakfast is fabulous. 5. Cleanliness - Squeaky clean and beautifully done up.
