    The room is new and modern, with a great view, and the location is amazing, close to all the main attractions.

    Friendly and helpful staff; rooftop terrace was great! Location was ideal for us. Breakfast buffet was not extensive, but offerings were tasty and varied enough that everyone found something they liked.

    We were a little confused about the use of the refrigerator in the rooftop kitchen. When we checked in, we were told to help ourselves to things in the fridge, but there was nothing there except the supplies for breakfast. We would have liked to be able to put some of our own things in the fridge to keep cold (water, beer) but didn't know if others would help themselves to our stuff. I would like to suggest that you keep a stock of ice in the fridge, maybe add a few more ice trays, so people could make their own mixed drinks.

    It is the most awful hotel I have ever seen. The room is about 7 m., 5 of them is the bed square. It has no bathroom and the water from the shower falls distinctly to the toilet`s floor. But the hotel is romantic enough, especially if you are ready to feel yourself young, poor and homeless.

    Rooms with a nice view had a quiet atmosphere. An electric kettle, a refrigerator, and glassware were provided if needed. the hotel is located in a stunning and very central location, just a short walk to the historical monuments and museums of Istanbul, including old Istanbul where the most popular tourism areas are located such as Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace.

    Wonderful little and special place, I really enjoyed to be here.

    The location for Istanbul was stunning and incredible, not far from all the important sightseeing and the iconic museums and a tourist attraction giving a very nice view out the window. Easily reached Falyanos Restaurant, located within a close distance from the hotel, had lunch/dinner there...

    The breakfast was gorgeous and superb as expected with stunning view. the hotel was in a favourable location right by the highlights of Istanbul. We could drink something at Gettin' Basted, located 1 mi away.

    Only 20-25 minutes by taxi from airport. 34 Lira. Nice homely breakfast room at top of hotel plus outside terasses. the smaller terass with 2-3 tables with view over Marmaris sea. Something had gone wrong with our booking of a family room so instead we got 2 double rooms. Maybe the presentation of the rooms are faulty at Booked.net? very nice surroundings with a lot of restaurants and nice streets. Very close to Blue Mosque and with view of mosque from hotel.

    Breakfast started 8.00, which is late, especially if you like us are going to take a flight 9 AM. Toilet in 1 of the rooms did not flush. The booking of the 4 bed room Superior did not work. When arriving to hotel they seemed to not have such an room?? But Booked.net presented one which we booked!! So we got 2 double room instead.

    The staff here are always friendly and attentive, and the room is a good deal for the price, with a stunning view of the Sea of Marmara and well-equipped bathroom amenities like a shower, hair dryers, and bath sheets.

    The main advantage of the Arafat is its fantastic location in the Sultanahmed district

    Sparse furniture in the rooms - poor light for reading
