Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

Hotel Arcadia Blue Istanbul

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Arcadia Blue was located centrally to the historic Golden Horn area where the main historic sites and buildings are located. The hotel was very comfortable and clean. Fantastic view of the Blue Mosque and Haiga Sophia out our window. Breakfast was very good; however, the bar and dinner were on the expensive side. Staff was excellent for helping with guide, transportation, and health issues. They were all friendly and fluent in English. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there when I return."
