“Cozy stay, great location, and lovely people—I’d come back!”
Liked: I recently stayed at Arges Old City Hotel and honestly had a great experience. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the tram line. It made getting around Istanbul super easy. What really stood out was the hospitality. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—they gave great tips for places to eat, helped us with directions, and even offered to arrange airport transfers. It felt more like staying with friends than at a hotel. The room was clean, spacious, and quiet at night, which we really appreciated after long days of sightseeing. The bed was comfy, Wi-Fi was alright, and we had everything we needed. Also, the top-floor terrace had a lovely view. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cozy, convenient, and welcoming place to stay in Istanbul.
Disliked: While we really enjoyed our stay, there were just a few little things that could be improved. The entrance to the hotel is a bit tucked away and the staircase is quite narrow, especially if you're carrying big suitcases—so just something to be aware of when arriving. Also, depending on which part of the building your room is in, it might feel a bit older or less polished than the photos suggest. Nothing major, but worth mentioning for future guests who might be expecting something a bit more modern throughout. That said, these were minor issues and didn’t take away from the overall positive experience we had.
