The Location of the hotel is very good, right in the center of Sultanahmet area, close to Basilica Cistern, Sultanahmet Square with Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace and Blue Mosque right in the corner and Sultanahmet tram station within walking distance.

Hagia Sophia

In 537 AD, Hagia Sophia began life as a church, before becoming an Ottoman mosque in 1453. The largest cathedral in the world for almost a thousand years, this majestic building is considered one of the finest surviving examples of Byzantine architecture. Today, you can go inside and explore both the colossal structure as well as its museum.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul.

    This was the most incredible part of Istanbul. Again ensure proper attire or you have to pay for covering. The interplay of Christianity and the Muslim faith, and neither chose to desicrate the other. Just be aware that you will only be able to visit the upper section unless you're a practising muslim.

    Its a pity that such an UNESCO monument was turned into a Muslim Cami. And it is discrimination that all non Muslims cannot visit the whole area. As a Greek and orthodox I felt very sorry of the destructions of all the inside ( almost). This should be a museum open for all ,independent on their beliefs. Civilization is not looking into beliefs. Should be respected within centuries.

    Oh, what a delight.

    Oh, what a delight. I’m an open minded Christian so I appreciate such a wonderful and special place is still in place. You have to admitted if it wasn’t the Muslims it (probably) shared the fate of Acropolis. Is a wonder it does not crumble during times. Really. I was not able to take two straight pictures in a row, such a marvel of architecture is it, patch after patch. Is not the Pantheon, is not Basilica di San Pietro, but is still there. I also have to appreciate they respect the history and prior faith and do not cover part of the old (Christinas) paintings.

    The history is stunning and the main room is beautiful as well as the mosaics. However, I was underwhelmed considering they now charge to go in and you cannot go on the main floor (a result of it being turned into a mosque). Also the carpet choice doesn't help with the overall site. I think the other mosques were better. Also, there are LONG queues to buy a ticket and then queues to go in. I would recommend going to the Hagia Sophia experience museum (across the Obelisk) and buy tickets there.

    Insanely long lines deterred us, although you can take great shot elsewhere. Whether you are a man or woman, you need to cover up. Ladies with shawl, long sleeves, and down to ankles. Men with pants and at least a t-shirt (no tank tops). Otherwise, no entry.

    Once the seat of Christianity under Constantine the Great where Istanbul's original name came from (Constantinople) Still a very spiritual place where Christianity and Islam combine Worth a visit but go early many, many want to go. Take your time and view the murials on the upper floor

    The owners of this hotel are so kind. They helped us with our bags without asking, we could have done it ourselves but they insisted. Always available to help. Very nice people. The room was way better than expected, large and I don’t remember booking a balcony room but I had a balcony. The location is close to Hagia Sophia and blue mosque and arasta bazaar. We loved our stay here.

    I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel! The cleanliness was exceptional, and the location is simply perfect for tourists. It's just steps away from iconic landmarks like the Hagia Sophia and the Grand Bazaar, with the tram only a few meters away, making it incredibly convenient to explore the city. The staff were wonderful, incredibly helpful, and went above and beyond to address my concerns. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul and can’t wait to return!

    Pristine location, right in the heart of everything — just steps from Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, Sultanahmet, and prime dining spots. Breakfast offered great variety, including multiple egg options. Staff were incredibly welcoming and supportive, with special thanks to Talha for his outstanding service. For arrival, best to call ahead so the hotel can arrange a buggy pickup, as it’s in a no-vehicle zone (car drop-off is less than a minute’s walk away). Highly recommended!

    The apartment was a fantastic place to stay in Istanbul. It was spacious, cozy, and had everything we needed for our four day stay. The location was great, very close to the water, the tram stop, and several sites like the Hagia Sophia and the blue mosque. The hosts, Abuzer and Nur, were wonderful. They checked in to ensure we didn’t need anything, gave recommendations, and invited us for tea our first evening. They even shared watermelon and delicious scones on our last night! Overall, a 10/10 stay. Thank you for everything!

    We had a wonderful time. Hotel breakfast was diverse and the hotel is close to sites such as the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. However, if you would like a room that’s more spacious and with a view I recommend not booking the budget/economy room. The service was amazing. Staff was very prompt with meeting our requests. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

    Perfectly located in the heart of Sultanahmet, the hotel is just a short walk from the Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, and Hippodrome, with easy access to Beyoğlu and Eminönü. The complimentary breakfast, in a separate restaurant just outside the hotel - though a bit repetitive, was tasty and had a decent spread. I extended my stay and requested an upgrade—both were handled smoothly and efficiently. Special thanks to Yakup and Murad for their excellent service! They went over and beyond, even helping me with taxi services!

    The hotel is the most convenient in the area of Istanbul Old city. Styly, cozy, elegant, ambient. Very good for business meeting as well as relaxing and close to all Old City sightseeings (20 minutes walk to Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque, 10 mins from Grand Bazaar). Very quiet isolates all outside noise, also sound isolation between rooms is very good. It is a very nice place, very good hotel.

    Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul was a fantastic stay right in the heart of Sultanahmet, just steps from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. We were pleasantly surprised with a free room upgrade, which came with stunning views of the Bosphorus and historic sites. The room was modern, clean, and very comfortable. Breakfast on the rooftop terrace was delicious and offered an incredible panoramic view. The location is perfect for exploring the Old City, and the staff were welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended!
