Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a good spot, close to major attractions like the Blue Mosque and the Basilica Cistern. The rooms were spacious and had a safe for valuables, but the toilet was too small for adults. The service was very friendly and accommodating, with a good breakfast. The location was excellent for exploring the main sights, but needs more green spaces. The dining experience was delicious with many choices, although the setting in the basement was not ideal. Overall, a welcoming and old building with well-restored charm.
My stay at the hotel was an unforgettable experience. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and exceptionally hospitable. However, there were some cleanliness issues and lack of amenities in the room. The friendly service and great location made up for any shortcomings, giving me a memorable stay.
We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at Aruna Hotel Umut. The apartment provided to us was decent, and we didn't even bother to check the original one. The location, with a supplementary bed for our daughter, was right next to a cobble road, room number 201 as booked, offering comfort and convenience during our visit.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although a bit dated, were acceptable given the price paid. However, they constantly smelled of food, and the street noise made it difficult to rest peacefully. On the upside, the hotel is conveniently close to many major attractions in Istanbul.
The hotel's location is superb, near major attractions like the Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace. However, the rooms were noisy and in poor condition with cleanliness issues. The service was exceptional, thanks to Orhan, Ramzan, and the attentive staff. The dining area, although offering appetizing food, was in the basement under dim lighting. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory but had some room for improvement.
My stay at Aruna Hotel was a mixed experience. The location was excellent, close to major attractions and historical places, providing convenience and a peaceful night's rest. The rooms, however, were disappointing, unclean, and in poor condition, making it uncomfortable. The service was friendly and welcoming, with some hiccups. The dining experience was tasty but lacked variety. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
I couldn't be happier with our stay at the hotel. The apartment we were given was so fantastic that we didn't even bother to check out the original one as per my booking. Having the supplementary bed for our daughter was a thoughtful touch. However, being located right next to a cobble road made it a bit loud whenever cars drove by.
I had a pleasant stay at Aruna Hotel. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, neat, and clean, making me feel truly hospitable. The location was excellent, close to historical sites and within walking distance. However, the dining experience in the basement under flickering lights was not as expected, but overall, it was a great choice for a stay in Istanbul.
I'm glad I chose Aruna Hotel for my stay in Istanbul. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from iconic sites like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. The rooms were impressive, so much so that we didn't even want to see the original one we booked through Expedia. However, the dining experience in the basement with mediocre food under flickering lights was a downside, and the room was a bit dirty and humid despite the extremely friendly service at the reception desk.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with its large rooms and friendly staff. The location is excellent, just a few minutes walk from Istanbul's main attractions. The dining experience was average, but the facilities were top-notch.
