    great location but needs breakfast variety

    The location was a highlight, just a few minutes away from main attractions. The view from the terrace restaurant impressed me. it overlooked stunning landmarks like Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque. The staff offered exceptional support, especially Ali who helped with my heavy luggage.

    The breakfast options felt limited.

    street noise

    Ares offers a fantastic location within walking distance of major attractions like the Sultan Ahmet Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The staff were consistently accommodating, especially Joseph, who ensured my stay was comfortable. The room was clean and featured comfortable beds, aligning well with my budget. The rooftop terrace provided a beautiful view for relaxing moments after a day of meetings.

    Breakfast options were limited and the noise from the street could be disruptive at night.

    Couple's Delight in the Heart of History

    The hotel location was superb, just 3 minutes from amazing sights like Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque. Plus, the staff, especially Ali, helped carry my heavy bags from the roadside, real standout service!

    It wasn’t exactly inexpensive, but considering the area, it was still reasonable.

    An unbeatable location puts you just across from a historic landmark, with amazing unobstructed views from the roof terrace. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making it feel like home. Dining was a highlight, especially the best lentil soup I've ever had. However, breakfast options felt limited and the rooms lacked some luxuries that might be expected.
