“Small hotel but perfectly suitable nonetheless”
Very conveniently located next to major attractions and various food options. Our family room was decorated as per the pictures (and overlooked the Blue mosque, that could also be enjoyed during breakfast and from the rooftop terrace, which also had clear views of the sea on the other side). From management to the waiters, all the staff were extremely hospitable - would definitely book here again.

“It was an amazing stay at this hotel.”
The property is close to all tourist attractions. If you are travelling with family, then the property is best for you. I would recommend this hotel. Breakfast was good. If you have luggage then you should ask the property owner for airport transfer, very affordable price.

“Ararat hotel is the best option for small family who would like to be close to Blue Mosque/HagiaSopi”
The location of Ararat hotel is the gem! Strategically located next to Blue Mosque. So convenient since it's walking distance to main attraction ie. Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque & Topkapi palace. The breakfast restaurant have a very nice view of Blue Mosque & rooftop to view the Marmara sea. Our family room too are facing the Blue Mosque! The room has been refurbished new! The hotel receptionist Muhammad also very helpful, he assisted to do our laundary & give advises on when to visit Topkapi. Thank you Muhammad ❤️ Our family room comes with 1 queen, 2 single beds which is perfectly fit our small family consists of 2 adults 2 children.

“Restauents are near walking distance, blue musjid and Ayasophya musjid are near walking distance par”
Over all it was please to stay, the rooms were under renovation. Entertainment not enjoyable coz almost all channels are in Turkish language.. Most boring place when you don't have TV of your choice. I took TV box with me they didn't have socket for 3 pins, so could enjoy. Otherwise all was satisfactory.
