Arart Hotel

It's a small and cozy hotel near Istiklal street. The deluxe rooms are pretty spacious with a couch, desk by the window, small fridge, and a relatively big bathroom. The staff was friendly and very helpful when I asked for suggestions or directions, and assisted in ordering taxis to the airport while offering different options. I was disappointed in the view from my room, especially that I paid for a deluxe room. My room was on the first floor, it was a bit noisy and just had a view of the street, I would've preferred on a higher floor to enjoy a better view. The location of the hotel is pretty close to Taksim where it's not too crowded, but also close enough to walk to my room when I'm tired of the crowds on Istiklal street. It can be a bit noisy at night but nothing too much to handle.

The location of the hotel is good. 5 minutes to the metro of taksim and 2 min to istiklal caddesi. The hotel is clean and employee are nice and helpfull. Only one negative is that the sound of the streets at night can keep you wake if you do not like night life.

Location, staff was very helpful. I love the cleanliness of my room , was easy to get , shopping, restaurants everything close by.

Ideal location! Great for a 1 night transfer!
