My 72 yr old mother and I were given, possibly the worst room in the hotel, even though, we were staying a total of three nights, a Thursday, and Friday, with my husband joining me and my mother...

This hotel was really nice. It is only a few blocks away from the Bazaar and the Blue Mosque, which makes it a very convenient location for sightseeing. The staff didn't speak the best English, but they were very friendly and helped us have an enjoyable stay. Breakfast was incredible; they offer a wide assortment of breads, cereals, fruits, and...

The hotel is in a very nice and quiet location. I found it in 3 minutes, without a map! So it is not bad located as I read in some reviews, you just have to ask, or try to check a map in advance. It is a nice 5 minute walk from Aya Sofia or the Blue Mosque. The staff... More

Great value hotel about a 10 minute walk from the Blue Mosque. Friendly staff. Breakfast on the terrace had a good selection (cheeses, cereal, deli meat, variety of olives, eggs to order) with views of the Bosphorous.

The website of Aruna Hotel promised deceptive pictures which are nothing close to reality.
