Unsafe! Andreas very helpful. Very good location--- the best thing about the hotel. Nice clean sheets, tiny bathroom, sufficient breakfast. HOWEVER, steps up to 4 th floor uneven, narrow, and triangular. Motion detector lights come on after you stumble through in the dark. Would not recommend.

Okay, I really want to give arasta boutique a better review (especially after paying so much money) but i just can't. The room was clean and spacious, breakfast was okay, the location ideal for sultanahmet and Andreas (the manager) was very helpful and nice and really attentive to our needs and questions but there were too many problems to look...

Very nice small scale hotel in the historical center of Istanbul. You are right there at the Aya Sophia and Blue Mosque, just to look out the window to confirm! Shouldn't forget to mention the exceptionally helpful hotel staff who made sure our every wish was addressed and made us feel so very welcome. Ask Ayhan at the front desk... More

Well, though the facility of the hotel is in general is unsatisfying, but the staff are very helpful and very hospitable, especially MATEM and ITEN. For me, I was completely happy with the hotel staff. Not forget to mention that the price is too high considering the facility and the limited size of the hotel.

The hotel staff especially the GM himself, Mr Andreas Konstantidinis were very helpful throughout our stay there.Strategically located at the main tourists attractions plus nearby Sultanahmet tram stations gives it added advantage for tourists to move around. Nice and comfy beds, clean bathrooms plus terrace breakfast overlooking the Blue Mosque makes it most memorable stay in Turkey.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. The rooms were nice and the beds really comfortable. We had sea view from one room and the Blue Mosque was just outside the other room. Andreas who runs the hotel was very helpful and recomended the best restaurants and also Hamam (turkish bath). I will visit Arasta again! /Petter

I stayed at this hotel in March 2013 with 5 family members, including my 3-year-old son. We had two rooms. Though the rooms are small (& with few or no chairs), they were perfectly sufficient, and the hotel is located RIGHT next to the Blue Mosque. That means it is also easy walking distance from the Hagia Sophia, the Hippodrome,... More
